1. Tool - Ænima (Surely one of the greatest albums ever made)
2. Godspeed you Black Emporer - Lift your skinny fists like antennaes to heaven (saw them live - unfuckingbelievable)
3. Any Beatles album
Back on the Tool comments, I don't think Salival or Opiate are anywhere near as good as the later(alus!wordplayhaehae) albums of Ænima and Lateralus.
I Don't think they had really found their sound at that point.
Lateralus imo is really fantastic and progressive but it's almost impossible to improve on Ænima so it sort of always was going to be *somewhat* (and I mean this in the best most generous way) of a let down.
Has anyone heard Tool's cover of No Quarter, or their Demon Cleaner cover?
Both of those standing alone are astonishingly good.
Sorry for off topic, just glad to see fellow Tool fans

thats funny, if i picked today, only 1 of the albums would be the same as i picked last year.
Black Crowes - "Southern Harmony and Musical Companion"
not that it is compositionally brilliant or anything, i just really had some good times smoking weed and hanging out listening to that back in the day
for me, it always depends on what kind of mood i'm in when i'm picking. for instance, i just had a massive cup of coffee, so i'm very pacified for a Monday morning, but kind of ready for some mental gymnastics. so something like Bach Solo Cello Suites would be good. (don't particularly like Bach, but really like these). i know the purists say that Casals' recording is the reference piece, but honestly i do like Ma's recent one.
Part of the reason is that i really get hung up on audio quality stuff, and there is no recording of anything from 1950-something that sounds as good as something recorded with modern state of the art technology, in the hands of skilled engineers.
directly contradicting my second pick, i go with an analog recording from the 60s for my 3rd album.
John Coltrane "A Love Supreme"
so anyway those last two seem very pretentious, or whatever, but they are inarguably brilliant in my mind, and if you are stuck with 3 albums, you need something that has enough depth that you won't get sick of it

Night at the Opera - Queen
Ok Computer- Radio Head

Honorable mention would go to Revolver (the Beatles), anything by Tool, and Unplugged Alice in Chains.
If this were about any piece of music other than rock, Id take:
Pictures at an Exhibition- Mussorski
Requiem- W.A. Mozart
The Planets- Holst

War is an option whose time has passed. Peace is the only option for the future. At present we occupy a treacherous no-man's-land between peace and war, a time of growing fear that our military might has expanded beyond our capacity to control it and our political differences widened beyond our ability to bridge them. . . .
Short of changing human nature, therefore, the only way to achieve a practical, livable peace in a world of competing nations is to take the profit out of war.
--RICHARD M. NIXON, "REAL PEACE" (1983)
"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, represents, in the final analysis, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children."
Dwight Eisenhower

hmmm, well if we can use greatest hits that makes things much much easyer...
pink floyd-dark side of the moon
bob marley greatest hits or natural mystic (hmm tough one)
il come back later with the 3rd one, cant really decide, although id like to cover another genre, like a jam cd or whatnot which is hard to do in 1 cd

Re: Three Albums
The update should be...
"If you could only bring 30,000 songs with you on your iPod, which 30,000 would they be?"

Re: Three Albums
Never posted on this one for some reason...
Pink Floyd - Animals
Tool - Lateralus
Pearl Jam - Ten
I regard Pink Floyd, Tool, and Led Zeppelin as my "top three" bands, but I enjoyed Ten above any one particular Zeppelin album. and I'm under impression the thread's intent was not to include compilation albums.
