There is only one rule in this thread. There can be no replies that involve this sentence
"Can't decide cause there's way too many i love" Pick one. Just one. And if you feel you haven't included your other favourites feel free to include a top 10 list at the end.

[I]Black Sabbath [I] by Black Sabbath is my all time favourite. It's an album that is too soon left to sulk in the shadow of Paranoid by fans. Ozzy's voice is at its most haunting in this album and the improvised feel to "The Warning" adds an edge and rawness that is not often seen on albums these days. It's not the heaviest album in the world or the glitziest but it's the album where Sabbath's blues origins shine through the most.

Here's my top 10 albums to go with it:
1) [I]Black Sabbath[I] - Black Sabbath
2) The Division Bell - Pink Floyd
3) Sticky Fingers - The Rolling Stones
4) Blood on the Tracks - Bob Dylan
5) Start Something - Lostprophets
6) Maybe You've Been Brainwashed Too - New Radicals
7) Paranoid - Black Sabbath
8) In the Wake of Poseidon - King Crimson
9) Foiled - Blue October
10) The Dark Side of the Moon - Pink Floyd

and if you don't like it..............then that's just fine.......

Can't say any other album has had an effect on me as much as this one has. Post-rock has become the number one genre for me, and this album meets every expectation or exceeds it with what I like to hear with post-rock. pg.lost have been my favorite for a while though, more specifically when I first heard "It's Not Me, It's You". I can see myself finding a vinyl copy of this album whenever or if it ever gets released and framing the album art and putting the record into a separate sleeve. It's had a huge effect on why I have appreciated this year specifically in music so much.

Without a doubt, it's:

Blarobbarg

Definitely this monster.



The Stooges, Fun House. Gnarly punk rock, almost verging on hardcore, before either genre even existed. Side B brings in this insane free jazz saxophone. I bought it before I listened to jazz and it inadvertently helped win me over to the genre, and helped me understand and enjoy free jazz before I knew it was a thing. It totally changed my life. I listen to this a few times a week, at least. That's a pretty big deal for me, I usually don't listen to an album more than once within a few day's span unless I REALLY like it.

Okay...



Beautiful emotionally rawness showcasing masterful technical musicianship. A great album and along with Weezer's Pinkerton responsible for kick starting the emo movement of the early 90's, late 2000's and spawning many other great records.

Janszoon

This really is an impossible task for me, but if I have to choose I would say this is certainly a candidate:

Glad to hear it. It gets better every single time I hear it. Definitely the best thing I have heard this year, which is tricky because I have heard a lot of great albums this year.

Franco Pepe Kalle

Pepe Kalle-LARGER THAN LIFE


I call this the great album of all time. This album in my view is what Soukous is made of. Mostly soukous songs with a consistent sound and no too much change from many songs. I mean Pepe Kalle sounded so perfect and so flawless. Pepe Kalle sang so well. Pepe Kalle hold his own on this album by doing the singing and animations. It brings great joy to me as a music listener. Soukous was the gold days. Yeah we got Kanda Bongo Man and Aurlus Mabele but Pepe Kalle was a unique singer too. Great French and Lingala speaking.

Pepe Kalle made his two major songs which were Gerant and Roger Milla. Gerant was being a manager in Europe and having to face the big challanges being a manager. I mean that song Pepe Kalle made good points about being a manager and how tough it is to be a manager. Roger Milla was my song from Pepe.

This song Roger Milla was a great dedication to Roger Milla the great Cameroon legend soccer player. It is great soukous song. It was a song giving major praise to Roger Milla. This helped get some Cameroon people to become Pepe Kalle fanatics. This song is actually why I am a major Pepe Kalle fanatic today.

But man one song that I love was Hidaya or internationally known as Shikamo Seye. This song, Pepe Kalle speaks great swahili. I cannot believe it. It was perfect. I wish I knew swahili.

Pepe Kalle Larger than Life shows you the greatness of one man with SOUKOUS. Giantafrique Pepe Kalle, I will always miss you.

The problem with Franco Pepe Kalle is that he is a unpredictable character. There is surprising info about this man. You think he only likes Franco and Pepe Kalle but when you find out that he hears other artists, you are shock.

Girls are the sexy thing that God created.

Important to notice FPK.

The one album that pulled me in and never let go. Deep, hypnotizing, moody and evocative.. An album coming out of the late 80's that didn't keep itself there. Kudos to R. Smith and his boys for a life changer.
