Did a bit of searching and after coming up empty, I decided to make yet another "top 100" list. Now, despite my musical tastes, this thread is for celebrating ANY genre of music. Feel free to post any album or EP that you feel deserves to be on this list. If you feel like it, add a mini review to your nomination. If you don't, no worries.
Starting things off:
1) Venom-Welcome to Hell
(http://www.boikot-underground.com/images/WelcometoHell_VenomLP.jpg)
Venom's first and finest. Although the music isn't very technical, even a bit messy in some areas, it makes up for it in speed, aggressiveness, imagery and of course in its almost tounge-in-cheek lyrics. In my opinion, had it not been for "Welcome to Hell", we wouldn't have had extreme, thrash or black metal. I know that's up for debate, but like I said: it's MY opinion. To bad so sad. :tongueout: :teddyr:
2) Elvis Costello - MY AIM IS TRUE
(http://consequenceofsound.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/44120056.jpeg)
3) Paul Simon - Graceland
(http://www.classicvinylrecord.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/Paul-Simon-Graceland-vinyl-album.jpg)
4.)Pink Floyd-The Wall:
(http://www.mp3boo.com/cover-album/Pink_FloydWall-front.jpg)
I also think Dark Side Of The Moon should be known, but between the two I pick The Wall. Also has a pretty far out trippy movie that goes along with the album.
5. The Glenn Gould Edition - Bach: The Well-Tempered Clavier
(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/513vSyJWXoL._SL500_AA300_.jpg)
Even though these recordings technically cover 4 CDs I think it's safe to consider them one album. Some classical purists actually hate these maginificent recordings because Gould hums along while playing; I think that's what makes them special.
6.)AC/DC-Highway To Hell
(http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jJAG_tiB6jQ/TDJwLmz1tvI/AAAAAAAADlQ/geo-7SQpGnw/s400/AC-DC-Highway-to-Hell.jpg)
VLADO PERLEMUTER RAVEL Piano Works (1979)
(http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff259/allhallowsday/RAVELbyVladoPerlemuter1978-1.jpg)
8.The RAMONES-1st album
(http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e328/castro_nunes/ramones_-_ramones_a-ramones.jpg)
9) Jimi Hendrix - Axis: Bold As Love
(http://i702.photobucket.com/albums/ww28/jackc8/2-1.jpg?t=1296479038)
Great bluesy guitar, great singing, very emotional. Gotta love Jimi.
10. ZZ Top, Eliminator
(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/1/1d/ZZ_Top_-_Eliminator.jpg)
11.)Green Day-Dookie
(http://991.com/NewGallery/Green-Day-Dookie-451363.jpg)
One of the few albums I could listen to from the first track to the last.
12. Tom Waits - "Rain Dogs"
(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/4/46/TomWaitsRainDogs.jpg)
"You know how after the rain you see all these dogs that seem lost, wandering around. The rain washes away all their scent, all their direction."
13) Blondie - PARALLEL LINES
(http://www.gibson.com/Files/aaFeaturesImages2010/blondie_parallel-lines.jpg)
THE STOOGES Fun House
(http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff259/allhallowsday/STOOGESFUNHOUSE.jpg)
15) Led Zeppelin - IV aka RUNES
(http://www.sungraffix.net/Links/Led%20Zeppelin%20-%20IV%20-%20Cover%20-%20Large.jpg)
^ Great choice. Fact about the album not sure anybody knows that Led Zeppelin on purpose didn't put their name on the front cover to see if anyone would still buy it.
16.)Weezer-Blue Album
(http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_YJ6qCr5XPnI/SIiYeypYg8I/AAAAAAAABMs/ITx4YrpRbs0/s400/weezer-blue-album.jpg)
17) W.A.S.P.-Inside the Electric Circus
(http://991.com/newGallery/WASP-Inside-The-Electr-301682.jpg)
A very underrated gem from 1986, the same glorious year that gave us Metallica's "Master of Puppets", Slayer's "Reign in Blood" and Megadeth's "Peace Sells...But Who's Buying?". Although Blackie Lawless (the guitarist/lead singer of W.A.S.P.) has stated in interviews that he absolutely despises this album, I really find that he should give himself better credit. This album is just as loud, heavy and raunchy as the albums that preceded it ("W.A.S.P." and "The Last Command"), albeit a little more melodic. For all its obcenity, "Inside the Electric Circus" is a fine album that deserves better credit from both Blackie Lawless and the fans.
18) Alice Cooper - Love it to Death
(http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_9sLAKxCotf4/Sd1oeHsqfMI/AAAAAAAAAEo/U9PPethtElg/s320/a-litd1.jpg)

The black sheep of the Sabbath albums that has been unfairly bashed by the fans. While lacking heaviness and gloomy atmospheres as the albums before it, "Senventh Star" relies on bluesy riffs, power metal-ish vocals and emotionally powerful sythns to get its point across. For that, it works excellently.

55) Kiss-Music From the Elder
(http://www.aux.tv/newmusic/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/music-from-the-elder.jpg)
Many of you may call me crazy, but I adore this album. "Music From the Elder" has been demonized and codemned by Kiss and their fans. Many sources claim and state that this is the absolute worst of Kiss' albums. Not surprisingly, I'm deeply opposed to those views and opinions. "Music From the Elder" is an almost complete musical departure from the traditional raunchy rock 'n' roll that the quartet has been known for. Despite incorporating an orchestra and a choir in the album, the music itself is very emotionally gripping and powerful (except for "Dark Light" which has a more "so awful and lame that it's actually kinda awesome" vibe). It may be different, but the difference is good.

Actually, I think I know quite bit about Floyd. Been listening to them since I was a kid. I remember when I got high and listened to Animals - I thought it was incredible. However, I don't think The Wall was one of their best, it has it's moments but overall I think it's totally overrated - it was pretty much the Roger Waters show and it didn't have much Gilmour influence. The album The Final Cut was much better even though it was supposed to be a Roger Waters solo album., I think - more concise and depressing than the Wall even though it's critically maligned. I think the reason I like Animals so much is that it really seemed like a team effort rather than Rogers vs. Gilmour. I do agree with you that Meddle is awesome though.I really like Live In Pompeii also - I think the version of "Echoes" is better than the album version. :thumbup:

I'd say Wish You Were Here, by far, is their best work. I'd second that with Meddle or Dark Side.
71) W.A.S.P.-W.A.S.P.
(http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_CvAgMMGRTbE/TEUg8KR5mFI/AAAAAAAAAYU/S_UVCWEHKQg/s1600/front.jpg)
An incredible debut album that really packs a punch. Starting with the iconic "I Wanna Be Somebody" and ending with the sinister "The Torture Never Stops", each song is full of heavy/catchy riffs, headcrushing choruses and an ugly snotty charm. It may be twenty-seven years since it was released, but W.A.S.P.'s first effort has aged well. Any self respecting metalhead should have this in their collection.
No list of greatest albums would be complete without

88) Thergothon-Stream From the Heavens
(http://www.metalkingdom.net/album/cover/d73/15813_thergothon_stream_from_the_heavens.jpg)
If I were to be stranded on a desert island and had to choose which albums would I take, THIS would be one of them. What makes "Stream From the Heavens" interesting is the pace of the music. It's incredibly slow, even for doom metal standards! The band makes up for the slow pace with an atmosphere of dread and sorrow. Not to forget to mention that it's a pretty heavy album too. In my opinion: THIS is the definitive doom metal album.
89. Bob Dylan, "Blood on the Tracks"

This list started with a Venom album, so it shall end with one:
100) Venom-The Waste Lands
(http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ncKcjInuqfY/SbsFqv8GV6I/AAAAAAAACfA/dlf4L9_b7gA/s400/Venom+-+The+Waste+Lands+-+Front.jpg)
The Last album to feature Tony Dolan on bass and vocals. This is truly an underrated gem both as a Venom album and a metal album. While it doesn't quite up to par with Venom's first four releases, it comes quite close. If I could recommend a song off this album, check out "Clarisse".
Thus ends the list. You may continue posting if you wish. The albums/EPs posted next will be considered as 'Honourable Mentions".
