3. Vai Satch Johnson - G3 live
4. Devin Townsend - Addicted by a thread (live)
5. Angra - Angels cry

 

[lucasreis]

I would probably cheat having a guitar and playing my own version of the songs I like so my catalog would be bigger. (I still would miss a lot of stuff because I'm not the best player ever, I can sing though! lol)

Still... I don't think I can choose 5, I would probably kill myself lol

 

[Rokkaholic]

1. Dream Theater - Images & Words
2. Dream Theater - Metropolis Pt. 2: Scenes from a Memory
3. Guns 'n Roses - Appetite for Destruction
4. Scale The Summit - The Migration

I have a tendency to get really hooked on particular artists

1. Pink Floyd - The Wall
2. Porcupine Tree - Deadwing
3. Rush - Exit Stage Left (Simply to get more Rush)
4. Nine Inch Nails - The Downward Spiral

[KarlMagnusRobin]

Devin Townsend - Ziltoid The Omniscient (just to have a laugh)
Dream Theater - Scenes From a Memory
Pain of Salvation - Perfect Element pt. 1
Porcupine Tree - Deadwing
Opeth - Blackwater Park

Really freaking hard, I just wrote the first ones that came to my mind without giving too much of a thought!

 

[gorthul]

Converge - Jane Doe
Ne Obliviscaris - Portal Of I
Altar Of Plagues - Teethed Glory And Injury
Sigur Ros - ( )

Those 4 won't change, nr. 5 depends on my mood. Right now I would choose White Moth Black Butterfly - One Thousand Wings.

Btw, it's nice to see some Altar Of Plagues love in this thread, the album is so damn good. It's a shame they broke up.

 

[oompa]

I love these threads So I guess I am going for covering all my bases when it comes to genres, going for stayers that I never get tired of. I guess I'd go with something like this:

Led Zeppelin - Houses of the Holy
Meshuggah - Chaosphere
The Faceless - Planetary Duality
NOFX - Ribbed
Shpongle - Tales of the Inexpressible

And just because you can't stop me, here are 5 runner-up's:

Tool - Lateralus
SGM - In Glorious Times
Opeth - Blackwater Park
Dream Theater - Awake
Pink Floyd - Animals

And I can't believe I just left out another 25 sure picks but that's how these lists work isn't it

 

[elnyrb10]

animals as leaders - self titled
animals as leaders - weightless
tesseract - altered state
opeth - ghost reveries
karnivool - sound awake

 

[nostealbucket]

Between the Buried and Me - Colors
-This is basically the album that got me into actual proggressive metal, ultimately killing the djent phase I had.

The Mars Volta - Deloused in the Comatorium
-This album is just amazing. Every time I listen to this, I hear something different. Love it.

The Mars Volta - The Bedlam in Goliath
- It's hard to choose between this, Amputetchure and Frances the Mute, but I feel like there is so much good shit on this one. I love this band too much.

Fredrik Thordendal - Sol Niger Within
-Love this album. It came out 17 years ago and it still baffles me. It makes a lot of the djent bands just look stupid. Fredrik is a ....ing alien.

Radiohead - Ok Computer
-Ok Computer is amazing. Radiohead is amazing.
