Re: What are your favorite albums?

My favorites:

Danzig II: Lucifuge - a harmonious blend of rock, metal, and blues. I love the variety and arrangement and the no-frills approach. Certainly not the most technically advanced album, but my personal favorite. "Long Way Back From Hell," "Devil's Plaything," and "Blood and Tears" are classic.

Guns N' Roses: Appetite for Destruction - the last great rock masterpiece. This is the album that drove the stake into the heart of the glam rock movement and rendered it irrelevant. There isn't a dull moment on this one.

Tool: Ænima - I loved this album from the moment I heard it. The ebb and flow of it is spectacular and the production values are excellent. This is Tool at the top of their game and one of the best albums of the nineties.

Other favorites that I just don't have time to elaborate on:

Aerosmith: Toys in the Attic
Opeth: Still Life
Nirvana: Unplugged in New York
In Flames: Colony
Children of Bodom: Hatebreeder
Black Sabbath: Sabbath Bloody Sabbath
Edguy: Mandrake
Avantasia: The Metal Opera
The Misfits: Static Age
