Not your top 5, not your top 10. Narrow it down to your top 3. For some reason I was thinking about it on the way home, and though I had to weed out 2 albums, I narrowed it down to my favorite 3 albums. I based it on the amount of time I spent listening to them, and the quality of the albums from start to finish. I can pretty much listen to these albums all the way through at any time and not have to skip around.
Of course, I'm dating myself here as we all may with this. In no particular order:
Tupac Shakur - Me Against The World
Orgy - Candyass
B.O.N.E. - E. 1999 Eternal

Did I ever mention I went to high school with the members of Bone? Used to sit at the other end of the long table as them at lunch, even back then they were always beating on the tables and working on rhymes.
Ok but to my picks
Wisconsin Death Trip-Static X
Machine-Static X
Aaron Lewis' acoustic album(cant remember the exact name)

I do believe I remember you talking about that in the past. I loved that album. It has probably about as unique- and eery- a sound that you'll find in a hip hop album.

Very tough to name favorite albums. But here are the three albums that I have that I have enjoyed the most over the past however-many years of my life:
1. Grateful Dead "Europe '72"
It's a live album that is freaking awesome. Double CD of goodness.
2. Rawkus presents Soundbombing II
This was from the golden age of east coast underground rap. When this album came out Rawkus had a roster of rappers, DJ's and MC's that is legendary. The whole album plays like a mixtape with each track having a full-length intro with beat-juggling and general sweetness.
3. DJ Shadow vs. Cut-chemist "Product Placement"
This album came out with an extremely limited release, with only 6000 original copies pressed. The album is a collection of old school soul and jazz samples that play out into a catchy album with two 30 minute sets. I have burned copies of this CD for several people with all sorts of musical tastes and everyone always comments on the intensity and inventiveness that are showcased by these two DJ's.
***Bonus***
David Bowie's "Ziggy Stardust and the spiders from Mars"
This is the first album I ever owned. My old man bought it for me when I first got a boombox. The whole album is great---and it is by far my favorite Bowie album
****Honorable Mentions****
J. Rawls "The essence of"
Nirvana "Unplugged in NY"
Sublime "Stand by your van"
Smashing Pumpkins "Melancholy and the Infinite Saadness"
Black Star "Black Star"
The Minutemen "Double Nickels on the Dime"
(I am kind of a music junkie.)
(or maybe just a junkie.)
I wish to wash my Irish wristwatch......

...in no order (since it changes from time to time):
- Red Hot Chili Peppers / Blood Sugar Sex Magic
- Smashing Pumpkins / Siamese Dream
- Marilyn Manson / Mechanical Animals
RHCP fan since '88.
Funny, I don't like Manson's other stuff (well Beautiful People and some other covers). That album is just put together.

Awesome album,definitely one of my favorites. If we were just naming our top three RIGHT NOW it would have made my top three. What also hurt it was the fact that all of Breaking Benjamins albums have been so good that I couldnt pick a favorite out of them.

I quit buying albums a few years back. I used to buy them excessively, but now I just download songs here and there. It sort of forces you more into the mainstream, where as I used to listen to tons of stuff back in HS and college that most people probably never really have. I used to blow so much money on CDs back when all I listened to was hip hop.
Way back in late 98, early 99 I heard a song called Blue Monday from a group called Orgy. That kind of opened my ears to get back into rock music. They were such a fresh sound with an intriguing look. That electronic/industrial rock and glaring vocals hooked me.
Speaking of the Deftones, Change is one of my favorite rock songs, which came off that album. I love how it is quiet and calm, then just explodes into the chorus.

You know that "Blue Monday" is a New Order song, right? New Order/Joy Division was pretty darn good.
Narrowing it down to a top 3 for me is nigh impossible, but here are 3 records I could listen to continuously and never grow tired of:
Slayer - Reign In Blood
Frodus - And We Washed Our Weapons In The Sea
Snoop Dogg - Doggystyle

Yeah, I can't believe that they remade that song. Blue Monday was kind of drab, and Orgy rocked it out.

My story is pretty similar. Obviously if I went to high school with Bone, you get a good picture of my high school environment. So my musical influences in those formative years was early hip hop. Public Enemy,Boogie Down Productions. Pre gangster rap stuff. During those years I heard the Pink Floyd,ELO,Supertramp type stuff from my dad. I hated it then, but now looking back realize how good most of it was. Anyways, around 1991 or so(I graduated from high school in 92) my cousin and I went to see the Beastie Boys at the Cleveland Agora. Well there was a band nobody ever heard of that opened for them. That bands name was Nirvana. Their style did not fit the crowd type that was there at all, but they opened with Smells Like Teen Spirit and by time they were done they had that whole place just hooked. Completely changed the direction of my musical tastes and I have never looked back.
That is why I still believe Nirvana to be the most influential rock band of the modern era. JMO

Come on....I know there has to be more country music fans.
I do agree though....rocks lends itself to more favorite albums being many are theme based with some though of how the whole package will mix together....sort of like opera.

I love bluegrass but it is such an acquired taste that I didnt mention any of it.

It's interesting some of the responses here. Don't seem to mesh with what I would have guessed to be the personalities of some. DP17, a rap fan? I wouldn't have guessed that at all.  But I think BTH are the most underrated rappers of all time. E.1999 Eternal is a great album. The icing on the cake is they are from Cleveland. My top 3: Led Zep - Physical Graffiti Led Zep II Pearl Jam - Ten Pop quiz: Who knows why Pearl Jam named their first album Ten?
LOL - The Rish will be upset with this news as well. KS just doesn't prioritize winning...

As my musical preferences change back and forth over the years, I never tire of these three. I've been working out to Master of Reality since the mid '70s.

This is very difficult. The first 2 for me are no-brainers, but I have many that could go in spot #3. I'd have to say it breaks down like this.
1. EMF - Stigma
2. Prodigy - The Fat Of The Land
3. Michael Jackson - Thriller
I picked Thriller in #3 because it holds a very dear place in my heart and history, since it was the first album I got when I was 7 years old.
