Michael Jackson - Thriller
Biggie Smalls - Life after death
Justin Timberlake - Future sex/Lovesounds

[youngrell]

Reasonable Doubt - Jay Z
Still Bill - Bill Withers
My Name is Joe - Joe
Ryan Leslie - Ryan Leslie
Legalize It - Pete Tosh

Mostly a selection of albums from my favourite artists rather than a definitive top 5.

 

[Dr. Dwayne]

Exodus - Bob Marley & The Wailers
Live in Las Vegas - Tom Jones
Uptown Saturday Night - Camp Lo
Full Moon Fever - Tom Petty
Eliminator - ZZ Top

 

[Heardy]

Michael Jackson - Thriller
Biggie Smalls - Life after death
Justin Timberlake - Future sex/Lovesounds
Nelly Furtado - Loose
Rae Sremmurd - Sremmlife 2

Life after death over Ready to die - interesting! I think of biggie and immediately think of Ready to die, maybe my failing memory does Life after death a disservice!

Future Sex / Lovesounds is massively underrated!

 

[Red Dreams]

Exodus - Bob Marley & The Wailers
Live in Las Vegas - Tom Jones
Uptown Saturday Night - Camp Lo
Full Moon Fever - Tom Petty
Eliminator - ZZ Top

Indeed

 

[entropy]

Interesting Kanye album to opt for.

It’s peak kanye and his bs before he went all weird on us.

 

[Pickle85]

Sticky Fingers - Stones
Sgt Peppers - Beatles
Dark Side of the Moon - Pink Floyd
Illmatic - Nas
What's Going On - Marvin Gaye

 

[Dante]

Anyone who puts the album name before the artist should be banned - @Dante

100%

If I had access to a banning stick, this thread would be absolute carnage.

 

[adexkola]

1. Tupac - Makaveli, Don Killuninati
2. Nas - Stillmatic
3. Royce Da 5’9 - Death is Certain
4. Blu & Exile - Below the Heavens
5. Bone Thugs n Harmony - East 1999

There are a few of us who discovered that album on here. Apart from being a classic, I listened to it during what I'd call in hindsight my formative, coming of age years... so it's definitely a special one for me.

 

[amolbhatia50k]

Nice to see In Utero there. I actually think it's aged better than Nevermind. Might also feel a bit fresher as it wasn't rinsed quite as much.

In Utero is fantastic

 

[RedTiger]

Biggie - Life After Death
Wu Tang - Enter the 36 chambers
The Prodigy - Fat of the Land
Madonna - Immaculate Collection
Dr Dre - The Chronic

 

[nickyboy1981]

Beatles - Abbey Road
Nick Drake - Five Leaves Left
Love - Forever Changes
Radiohead - OK Computer
Elliott Smith - Either/Or

 

[Neil_Buchanan]

Blood sugar sex magic - red hot chili peppers
Dark side of the moon - pink floyd
Appetite for destruction- guns n roses
Doggy style - snoop dogg
Paranoid - black sabbath

The first two are certain, the next three is a toss up between about a dozen other albums. Doesn’t feel right to miss out led zeppelin or outkast though.

Nearly went for the first one - if they had included Soul to Squeeze on it I would have.

 

[Jippy]

Biggie - Life After Death
Wu Tang - Enter the 36 chambers
The Prodigy - Fat of the Land
Madonna - Immaculate Collection
Dr Dre - The Chronic

I haven't listened to it in years but Fat of the Land was played loads in my car at uni that year and brings back happy memories.

 

[nickyboy1981]

Damn, im having to miss some belters out of mine seeing other lists, Up The Bracket, The Band, Led Zep.

I also should have had After the Gold Rush over Either/Or on reflection..

 

[RedTiger]

I haven't listened to it in years but Fat of the Land was played loads in my car at uni that year and brings back happy memories.

I was tempted to put their 2nd album "music for the jilted generation" instead but fat of the land edges it.

 

[Zaphod2319]

Five is tough. Im just picking the five albums I would pick if I could only listen to just those the rest of my life. In no particular order.

Stiff Little Fingers - See You Up There

Cecilio and Kapono - Elua

Snarky Puppy - We Like It Here (great concert earlier this year)

Greenday - Dookie

Jack White - Blunderbuss

 

[Bertie Wooster]

Led zeppelin: houses of the holy
Guns n roses: use your illusion 2
Kula shaker: k
Ocean colour scene: moseley shoals
Pulp: different class

But that's entirely subject to change on any given day

Good choices. I had those, and a few other Britpop era albums, as possibles but in the end didn't go for them in my top 5 as the ones I selected just 'mean' that little bit more to me.

Was expecting a bit more love for Oasis in here.

 

[Norman Brownbutter]

The dark side of the moon.
The Fragile.
10,000 Days.
Led Zeppelin III.
Thriller.

 

[decorativeed]

I realise that many of my favourites are on the depressing/downbeat side, but I do like jollier stuff too.

Not in order of preference:

Yo La Tengo - I Can Hear the Heart Beating as One
Neil Young - Tonight's the Night
Spiritualized - Ladies and Gentlemen...
Big Star - Third
Beach Boys - Pet Sounds

 

[Eckers99]

Yep, that's a perfect list

[Dante]

Although I like Station To Station, I'm surprised to see mentions of it ahead of Hunky Dory and Ziggy Stardust.

 

[Robbo's Shoulder]

Changes every time i do a list this

[decorativeed]

• In the Aeroplane Over the Sea — Neutral Milk Hotel

I'll have to give that last one a listen given how I feel about the rest of your list.

 

[Jam]

Almost impossible question. Limit it to one album per artist.

Arcade Fire - Funeral
Radiohead - OK Computer
Nas - Illmatic
Kanye - MBDTF
Okkervil River - Black Sheep Boy.

Feel guilty limiting this to five.

 

[Dirty Schwein]

Arctic Monkeys - AM
Craig David - Born To Do It
August Alsina - Testimony
Usher - 8701
Justin Timberlake - Justified

I know... My list is embarrassing

 

[Organic Potatoes]

It’s out of left field, but Brandon Cox’s noise/psychedelic rock just jibes with me and that’s my favorite from his band.

Arctic Monkeys - AM
Craig David - Born To Do It
August Alsina - Testimony
Usher - 8701
Justin Timberlake - Justified

I know... My list is embarrassing

I used to think you were cool, man. Jesus.

Damn bro, I 100% believe your tagline now
