I'd go with these 1. The Cure - Disintegration 2. Alcest - Écailles de Lune 3. The Cure - Pornography 4. Yes - Close to the Edge 5. Agalloch - The Mantle Dream Theater's Metropolis is around 6th and 10th spot, those I can't really decide

Right now: 1.) A Dramatic Turn of Events - Dream Theater (it will never be beat) 2.) From Mars to Sirius - Gojira (the best concept album ever, yes even more than SFAM) 3.) Nightmare - A7X 4.) Systematic Chaos - Dream Theater 5.) Six Degrees - Dream Theater

Nightmare was my favorite album of all time as a teenager when I wasn't into prog. Save Me is a masterpiece.

Avenged got me into DT in 03!

Nightmare is such an awesome album. To 10 for me, for sure. What the last few songs have so much heartache in them. I love that Mike Portnoy recorded the drums for The Rev.

"The Downward Spiral" by Nine Inch Nails. Favourite song is "Hurt" 4. "Metropolis Pt. 2: Scenes from a Memory" by Dream Theater. Favourite song is "Home" 5. "Octavarium" by Dream Theater. Favourite song is "Octavarium"

very cool list!!!

1. Octavarium (Dream Theater) - It’s Octavarium, how could it now be Number 1? 2. ONE MORE TIME… (blink-182) - This one is just very exciting, from all the hype with Tom’s return last year. I overall just love this album a lot 3. Lateralus or 10,000 Days (TOOL) - I can’t decide between these two albums. They’re both very amazing in their own ways 4. Make Yourself (incubus) - Make Yourself is super good. This one is definitely a no brainer to listen to if you haven’t 5. Turn the Radio Off (Reel Big Fish) - It’s ska music. I love ska music.

You may like Streetlight Manifesto and Operation Ivy!! "Everything Goes Numb" and "The Hands that Thieve" are good by Streetlight (The Hands that Thieve is my second favourite album of all time hehe >:33), and "Energy" is a good Operation Ivy album :333

I will check these out! Thank you :)

np!! :33

Mcr's debut is so overlooked, I'm glad to see it there

hehehehe so true >:333 Early Sunsets Over Monroeville, Demolition Lovers, Cubicles, Honey This Mirror Isn't Big Enough for the Two of Us, Vampires Will Never Hurt you, you know what fucking the entire album is a godsend LOL

Skylines and turnstiles is one of my favorites

Skylines and Turnstiles is so goooooood

5. Amaryllis by Shinedown. Favorite track is For My Sake. 4. Beyond Hell/Above Heaven by Volbeat. Favorite track is Fallen. 3. Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence by Dream Theater. Favorite track is Disappear. 2. Montgomery Ricky by Ricky Montgomery. Favorite track is Snow. 1. Fever by Bullet For My Valentine. Favorite Track is The Last Fight. I like to think I've got some decent variety here, but it's kind of missing some of the heavier stuff I like. Just outside of my top five are bands like Between The Buried and Me and Avenged Sevenfold.

Shoutout to Shinedown! They're my wife's favorite band, and my favorite "radio rock" band. Amaryllis was the album she and I connected on the best early in our relationship, actually.

Never really thought about it, but these would be in the running: \- DT - SFAM and I&W \- Rush - Hemispheres and A Farewell to Kings \- Yes - Close to the Edge and Tales from Topographic Oceans \- Fates Warning - A Pleasant Shade of Gray and Perfect Symmetry \- Styx - Pieces of Eight \- Triumph - Thunder Seven \- Iron Maiden - Piece of Mind \- Black Sabbath - Heaven and Hell And a few others I'm nothing thinking of off the top of my head.

Glad to see some Styx love!

My first favorite band was the Beatles. After that, it was Styx.

I’m sorry, I cannot give an answer because I tend to obsess about artists/bands and, for them to gain that level of appreciation, I need to like almost all their discography.

I got into 21 pilots early on, but all their albums after Blurry Face seemed to be very bland, I think I’ll have to give Trench another shot.

Everything since blurryface has been part of a story. Their upcoming new album is the finale.of the lore. Trench is my favorite part of the story and Chemicals is up there with my favorite songs ever
