3Return Home - Vitas

Explain why I voted?
Can I? I wish I could find the most suitable word to describe in the rightest way how his powerful voice is? His voice is diamond and with the sensitive, beautiful soul, he creates a Legend. About this album, it deserves to be voted millions times

Ah, Vitas is so wonderful... what can I say? Too wonderful for words. I love the way he sings Opernaya, and really, everything on this album.

It is really like a home for me. Whenever I feel weak , feel depressed , feel out of temper , I will listen to Vitas's Return Home. It consoles me , comforts me , and I always feel refreshed and strong after hearing his song. How I owe my most pleasure to you , dear Vitas!

4Eden - Sarah Brightman

This is truly her best album. It is an absolute evergreen you can listen to a million times without getting tired of. Whenever I introduce a new person to her I show them Eden because it really shows everything in her vocal range and is really touching to the listener.

Eden is a truly incredible work. Nothing by anyone else has ever even come close to this level of beauty and raw emotion. This is by far the best thing I have heard in my life, no quetions asked.

I love Eden

10Revolver - The Beatles

Simply awe inspiring.

to me the best because it shows the raw talent and deversity of the beatles

 

11Appetite For Destruction - Guns N' Roses

Numero uno! They were the best band of the 90's until Axl had a huge ego trip. Still, I love all of them-Duff, Izzy, Matt, Slash and Rose. GnR lives on in my heart and appetite lives on in my mind.
! FTW

They are like greatest rock band ever. love old Guns n' Roses. they were original and creative. They have their own style. I love them so much.

this should be number 1

14The Wall - Pink Floyd

The Wall should be #1 on this list... from the looks of this list you people are missing out on a lot of great music

No contest... next question?

pathetic list. Give respect to the trully great albums!

More comments about The Wall - Pink Floyd
15Hotel California - Eagles

Grew up with these guys, Joe Walsh great guitarist still unreconized. Don Henley added the voice. Hotel California was there best but i believe every album is great.

chriskurtz

The one Eagles album where you can play it over and over again.. Joe Walsh adds a distinct guitar sound!

16Dark Side of the Moon - Pink Floyd

Apparantly Britney Spears' album is better than DSOTM. Gentlemen, we live in dark times.

Easily the greatest album of all time. Not a wasted note

Best LP of All Time...

17Slippery When Wet - Bon Jovi

Bon jovi is my idol, his lyrics is so cool

this is one of the greatest albums the world has ever been blessed with how is it not in the top ten?

Great!

18In The Zone - Britney Spears

In The Zone showed the evolution of a teen girl into a woman, where she explored not only her sexuality but the new highs she took pop music into. This album is classic pop, where an iconic artist took pop music somewhere it has never been before.

each of her albums are amazing. I'm still waiting for her new song.

pop music perfection

19Led Zeppelin IV (Zoso) - Led Zeppelin

Just amazing.

There are no words to describe this music! It is absolutely perfect and it gives me goose bumps every time I listen to it! Led Zeppelin will rock forever!

are you kiddin' me? 18? maaan!

More comments about Led Zeppelin IV (Zoso) - Led Zeppelin
20Joshua Tree - U2

Classic album that saw U2 become the mega band they still are. In 1987, NOONE could touch these guys, they were truly the only band that mattered.

Each song on this album meshes so well with the other songs. This album is more of a mood than a collection of songs. It's proof that a great album is more than just a bunch of great songs. It's a collection of great songs that works perfectly together.

This album has so many great songs. It should be further up there

21Metallica (The Black Album) - Metallica

Metallica deserves to be in top 5! Michael Jackson isn't the only singer in the world! Nirvana deserves a better place, AC/DC, and The Beatles too!

Its Metallica. What else is there to be said?

Black album is always gunna be 1 of the greatest albums ever

23Let Go - Avril Lavigne

shes just her own person. just like Amy Lee. Expect Avril has more "POP" in her music. Plus I love her hair! =D

Best album of all time
She was just 16 years old when she created this album!!! How cool and amazing

vielle

24The Marshall Mathers LP - Eminem
25Back in Black - AC/DC

Possibly their greatest album, and it proved that the loss of Bon Scott wouldn't stop AC/DC

jadedmastermind

26Whitesnake - Whitesnake

Top 3 in this list are Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the moon and the Wall, also Sgt Pepper's by The beatles. I vote for Whitesnake self titled 'cause it deserve a higher rank.

27A Rush of Blood to the Head - Coldplay

Their music is magical. Especially this album, every track is a classic.

Great

This album is not for entertainment, but for those who listen by their hearts

28Pet Sounds - The Beach Boys

Such a masterpiece, nothing else can give you mixed feelings somewhere between tranquility, melancholy, and hopefulness. Brian Wilson is the man.

Brittney Spears above the Beach Boys? WTF? You people are flipping morons

29Avenged Sevenfold - Avenged Sevenfold

this the best album... and the afterlife solo oh! my God.. it's out of this world

30Crash - Dave Matthews Band

The best album of all time from the best band of all time

32Boston - Boston

Fantastic vocals

Best of the best

33Britney - Britney Spears

i love you

I agree that this album of Britney Spears is amazing!!! but now she’s a total DISASTER!!
sorry but that’s really the truth..

vielle

Britney was the first album on which Spears assumed some creative control co-writing five of the album’s tracks. It had a successful debut at number one in the U.S. selling 745,744 units during its first week, and making her the only female artist in SoundScan history to have her first three albums debut at number one.The album fared well with critics such as All Music Guide who gave it 4.5 out of 5 stars describing the album’s title tracks as being "pivotal moments on Britney Spears’ third album, the record where she strives to deepen her persona, making it more adult while still recognizably Britney.

34Use Your Illusion II - Guns N' Roses
35Jagged Little Pill - Alanis Morissette

no wonder, no matter how many times I listen to it, it still rocks! the best ever album.. my medicine..

48Paranoid - Black Sabbath

You have to put Black Sabbath's Paranoid up there with the greatest albums of all time for the number of artists that have cited that band and that album as an influence. This album was way ahead of its time.

jadedmastermind

49Blonde On Blonde - Bob Dylan
50How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb - U2
51The Colour and Shape - Foo Fighters
52Trout Mask Replica - Captain Beefheart
53Pure - Hayley Westenra

The highest selling debut album from a classical artist, the title defines Hayley's angelic voice, impeccable interpretation and unique tracklist.

54Sticky Fingers - The Rolling Stones
55Fragile - Yes

Most Albums have one or two tracks which stand out from the rest. This album has nine. It also has nine total tracks. Every song is a masterpiece in and of itself, and they fit together perfectly on the album to create pure perfection.

64The Division Bell - Pink Floyd

Listen to coming back to life

ledzeppelin

Listen to coming back to life, great song by pink floyd, this song is not just a song its more than that

ledzeppelin

65Twin Infinitives - Royal Trux

A terrifying and compelling journey through the drug-addled minds of two souls spiraling into oblivion.

66The Parable of Arable Land - The Red Krayola

One of the most creative albums ever made, Parable is a compositional masterwork. The songs are bookended by "free-form freakouts" which have been weaved into the music. The result is a dizzying but highly gratifying experience.

67Lorca - Tim Buckley
68Y - The Pop Group
69Fare Forward Voyagers - John Fahey
70Third - Soft Machine
71Like Vines - The Hush Sound
72Forever Changes - Love
