Haha. Fair enough, fair enough. I did overdo that a bit, didn't I?
In that case, I'll say my current (and often unchanging) Top 5:
The Beatles - Abbey Road
Say Anything - ...Is A Real Boy
Modest Mouse - Good News For People Who Love Bad News
Minus The Bear - Planet of Ice
The Killers - Hot Fuss
Pretty much in that order, as well.

Ha, yes! I used to be in a band with the guitarist after he quit Stilly. And no it was a metalcore band. Far from it.
I love "List" threads! Especially ones resurfaced from the bowels of I<3Fuzz.
Deep breath...
Smashing Pumpkins - Melon Collie and the Infinite Sadness
Nine Inch Nails - With Teeth
Radiohead - OK Computer
Muse - Black Holes and Revolation
Coldplay - A Rush of Blood to the Head (I might pay for this one, but it's a guilty pleasure)
This made me think of an idea for another "List" thread. It'll be a little more specific.
