44?
Indeed. :-)
I still insist that the music of our generation growing up was the best time for listening to alternative/metal etc.
So much innovation, new genres were created, and so much creativity.
Today most of the music sounds like 'more of the same' and very formulaic to me. I am happy for any recommendation of current music in alternative/metal which is innovativ.
NOFX - Punk in Drublic
Syro - Aphex Twin
So many synth timbers, not repetitive, and still holds a connection with dance floor nostalgia
Band Maid's World Domination, the limited edition version, specially.
Kid A
It's tough to pick between Kid A and In Rainbows, but I think In Rainbows sneaks by for me.
It's Kid A for me because not only was that my intro to the band, but also because it was so unexpected when it was released, was hated by a lot of their long-term fans that wanted another guitar centered rock act, and it set the band (and to an extent the genre) in a completely new direction.
One of my favorite things was Thom Yorke, when asked about how he felt about bands that were copying OK Computer said: Good luck with Kid A.
Black sands - bonobo
People's Temple Choir - He's Able

Neko Case, Middle Cyclone. The voice of God with red hair.
Nightfall in Middle Earth
All my favorites frequently shift and change over time but I'm utterly obsessed with Music From the Unrealized Film Script: Dusk at Cubist Castle, by the Olivia Tremor Control. Some of the best fucking psychedelic pop I've ever heard.
My favourite band changes all the time, mostly depends on who released an album last lol.
My current favourite band is Seven Spires, they just released A Fortress Called Home recently, which I think is awesome. But I think my favourite album of theirs has got to be Gods of Debauchery.
A close second right now is Eternal Blue by Spiritbox. I've listened through that entire album so many times already, but I still love it.
I came here to mention Seven Spires! After listening it through about 40 times, it is by far my favourite album ever, topping Solveig (for which I'm in a minority I think).
I like and liked a lot of bands, but only Seven Spires made me completely obsessed for 2+ years
After listening through the entire album a few more times, I might have to revise my answer to A Fortress Called Home :D. Damn is this one good album, I fuckin love it.
Almosttown is definitely one of my favourites so far, and also this "live" performance is so damn good:
Yeah, Adrienne is amazing, as are all the band members. But there's just something to her vocals... The only band I listened to religiously before Seven Spires was Sascha Paeth's Masters of Ceremony, and guess who the vocalist is.
AFCH is sooo much darker and heavier that the previous albums. I regularly get goosebumps from listening to "Where Sorrows Bear my Name"
Enslaved is my favourite band and for me its a bit of a toss up between the albums 'In Times' and 'Ruun'.
Before Enslaved took the top spot, it was Dissection's 'Storm Of The Light's Bane'. Honorable mention for Opeth's 'Blackwater Park'.
Storm of the Light's Bane is a top 5 album all time for me, but Dissection is not my favorite band, if that makes sense.
Blackwater Park would have been my choice.
Mezzanine
Risingson makes me feel like im inside a private bdsm dungeon party session in underground germany with my buddy mike
Jimi Hendrix Experience's Electric Ladyland.
It's the quintessential experimental album: with songs spacing through many different genres, two 10+ minutes long jams, recurring themes and the best cover ever to be performed which is All Along the Watchtower (originally from Bob Dylan)
I have several favorite bands, so I refuse to choose between them. In no particular order:
Dream Theater - Images and Words, but Awake is only lagging behind by a nanometer.
Metallica - I have a hard time choosing between Puppets and Black
Destiny Potato - Lun
Dimmu Borgir - Puritanical
Foo Fighters - The Colour and the Shape
Nice, I don't think I've ever met another person who even knows who Destiny Potato are. They released another album as Sordid Pink, in case you weren't aware. Not as good as Lun though, imo.
I first stumbled across them in early 2015 via spotify recommending Indifferent. That caused me to check out the entire album, and I instantly loved it.
Stadium arcadium by the chili peppers.
Probably one of the greatest single compilations of music ever put together by humanity.
I was really glad to see this. Stadium Arcadium was my first thought and it is just packed with such greatness. I can listen to it start to finish and never be bored or want to skip any of it.
Even most of the songs that didn't come out as singles are absolute bangers: Wet Sand (my personal favourite), Charlie, Hard to Concentrate and Slow Cheetah could easily overshadow many other singles from the following albums
Black Sabbath - Heaven and Hell
Such a refined masterpiece that few can touch. Mob rules and Dehumanizer are close seconds, but miss the sheer presence that Heaven and Hell beholds.
To me at least, Heaven and Hell is immersive and profound to an extent, that their other albums cannot compare. It holds a very special place in my heart.
Dio - The last in line.
Not quite head and shoulders above his other albums, but lands the most hits for me. I love every track on this album, and none are a "miss". I love (almost) every other Dio album, but each has at least one song that doesn't resonate with me.
Dire Straits - Brothers in Arms
Cliche choice, but extremely enjoyable to listen and relax to. If you listen more closely, it becomes very immersive as each song has a clear story and a moral. Though some tracks are slower paced and longer, I don't find a single one boring, which I sometimes do on other Dire Straits albums.
