Pretty much everything Dream Theater has released. I know it sounds DT-Markish, but I just love this freakin' band. For me, they seem to get everything spot on. The heaviness, and the mixture with other styles of music. The musicianship, the big solos, complex time signatures, long OTT songs... it just works.

requiem neg repped me for old times sake. boooooo

Albums that absolutely blew my mind:

Brand New - Deja Entendu
I loved Your Favorite Weapon but this made them one of my favorite bands ever.

Sonic Youth - Daydream Nation
My love affair with Sonic Youth began here.

Joy Division - Closer
I liked Joy Division because I loved "Love Will Tear Us Apart" and "Ceremony" but then I heard this album and they became one of my all-time favorites.

The Mars Volta - De-Loused In The Comatorium
When this came out it was unlike anything I ever heard and it was my smoking weed anthem.

The Appleseed Cast - Low Level Owl Volumes
Two mind-blowingly beautiful albums

Death Cab For Cutie - The Photo Album
Three words: We Laugh Indoors

Incubus - Morning View
So chill

Pretty Girls Make Graves - The New Romance
Just incredible

The Cure - Disintegration
Yeahhhhhhhhh

Thursday - Full Collapse
Got me into the whole scene

I have to go with Disintegration too :)

First Cure album I listened to.

Born to Run
Joshua Tree
Ben Glover's new one

Born in the USA > Born to Run

Brand New- The Devil and God Are Raging Inside Me

Led Zeppelin- Led Zeppelin III

Alice in Chains- Unplugged

Coldplay-Parachutes

slint- spiderland

System of a Down - Mesmorize
Metallica - Master of Puppets
Red Hot Chili Peppers - Californication

I hope you are implying that it blew your mind as to how much it absolutely sucked ass compared to their earlier works.

pretty much every tv on the radio album has also blown my mind

which makes me think.. If you start a band with the word radio in the title, they might just be awesome.

I love all of their albums but I like this one the best. The Sickness is an amazing album but I have listened to 10,000 fists a lot more and prefer that album.

OMG

Meat Loaf - Bat Out Of Hell 2 - I grew up with this album and to me it's probably the best one he's release even surpassing the first Bat Out Of Hell. Every song on it is perfect in my eyes. A lot of people will disagree but for me you can't get much better then this.

Pink Floyd - The Wall - This was the first Floyd album I listened to fully hence why it's here ahead of the others even though I think others are better. It completely blew me away when I listened to it and introduced me to the whole idea of concept albums.

Dream Theater - Scenes From A Memory - Another concept album. Not the first DT album I heard and not their best but again it tells such a good story and the music within the album is superb. Songs like Through Her Eyes, Spirit Carries On and Home blew me away.

Iron Maiden - Somewhere In Time

Rush - 2112
