    I'm seeing A LOT of really good albums (that I actually have in my cd collection too). Just some of my opinions:

    Big Pun- Agreed, underrated
    Enter the Wu Tang- CLASSIC.
    RATM- Battle of LA, I thought was good, but Evil Empire was better, imo.
    NIN had a few great albums, as did Korn
    Limp Bizkit- really enjoyed their albums too....they took a little to grow on me at first.

    If I went just hip hop albums, my top 3 would be (in no order)

    WuTang Clan- Enter the Wu Tang
    Beastie Boys- Licensed to Ill
    Public Enemy- Fear of a Black Planet

    How can anyone choose just five?

    Lindsey Stirling - Shatter Me
    Bloc Party - A Weekend in the City/Intimacy (I can't choose, sorry)
    Florence and the Machine - Lungs
    Beck - Sea Change
    Radiohead - OK Computer

    I feel bad leaving it at that. There are still so many amazing albums from bands/artists like: Poe, Muse, Barenaked Ladies, Bjork, Arcade Fire, The Used, The Smiths, The Beatles, Tears for Fears, Kansas, Meatloaf, Nirvana, The Allman Brothers Band, Nine Inch Nails, Metallica, PJ Harvey, AC/DC, Nick Cave, The Dresden Dolls, etc.

    Led Zeppelin - Any but the debut was spectacular
    Pink Floyd - DSOTM
    Pearl Jam - Any - but their debut was also spectacular
    Anything by Steely Dan

    A fine list. 'Can't Buy A Thrill' by Steely Dan and 'Ten' by Pearl Jam are perhaps the best two debut albums ever recorded. Honourable mention to 'My Aim Is True' by Elvis Costello.

    Exile On Main Street - The Rolling Stones
    Rubber Soul - The Beatles
    Crime Of The Century - Supertramp
    In Step - Stevie Ray Vaughan
    Ten - Pearl Jam

    There are several others I'd like to squeeze in.

    Love to see someone with Rubber Soul as their favorite Beatles album. That album never gets the attention it deserves.

    I suppose albums hold an emotional significance as they often are the soundtrack to a particular time in life...
    That being said these are my favorite/most frequently played

    Mark Lanegan - Bubblegum
    A Perfect Circle - Mer De Noms
    Murder by Death - Who Will Survive and What Will Be Left of Them
    Queens of the Stone Age - Lullabies to Paralyze
    Pink Spiders - Teenage Graffiti

    Can't agree with you more. It has been my favourite for as long as I can remember. It's the launching place for Revolver and Sgt Pepper.
