What is the best CD of all time?

[KingsGene]

UFO - Strangers in the Night

Elton John - Goodbye Yellow Brick Road
Rush - Moving Pictures
Kiss - Alive!
Iron Maiden - Number of the Beast

 

[Trans-Siberian Outcast]

My first thought was Heaven and Hell because it's been around the longest. But really, Poets and Madmen is currently my fave album of all time. The new JOP may top it though! Only time will tell...

 

[Entrerie]

I don't think I could choose a best CD of all time, but I think I have a favorite track of all time, Helloween's "Laudate Dominum" from the "Better then Raw" album. I think I could put that one track on auto-repeat for infinity and never get bored of it.

 

[MetalAges]

If I were faced with this choice I'd probably die of anxiety or something trying to pick! Strange how many of my tops are listed here as well. O:M, Awaken the Guardian, Painkiller).

I would add to the list: Crimson Glory - Transcendence and King Diamond - THEM

 

[Tess]

I can't tell if you're joking or not.

NO! I never joke!

Why would I be joking?

 

[urayoan]

Studio recording: Slayer: "Reign In Blood"
Live recording: Iron Maiden: "Live After Death

 

[Dr.Caligari]

Iron Maiden, Piece of Mind

 

[The Invisible Guest]

I prefer the masterpiece "Piece in Mind" by Maiden myself

Piece Of Mind would probably crack my top 15 or so, but 7th Son is in my top 5 .. maybe as high as #2.

House of Spirits - Turn of the Tide

Whatever happened to these guys?

 

[FatesFan]

Operation: Mindcrime. Thread over.

Zod

Thinking of the answer to this question makes my head hurt. But, if it is not Mindcrime, then I don't know what is.

 

[MysticX9]

House of Spirits - Turn of the Tide

Whatever happened to these guys?

That was a kick ass album! Unfortunately, I
think they are no more...

 

[Ascension]

House of Spirits - Turn of the Tide

Whatever happened to these guys?

I'm thinking they got swallowed up in the prog metal flood that happened in Europe. They released another cd Psychosphere about 3 or 4 years after the debut. It was good also, but maybe not as good as TotT. They drew alot of comparisons to Queensryche. I think the drummer was from Running Wild?

 

[Metaldrumz]

House of Spirits - Turn of the Tide

Whatever happened to these guys?

Nice choice!

This CD is actually listed on my DJ myspace page in my top 20 favs of all time.

So is one of Derons picks , Crimson Glorys Transcendence and a few others who picked Images And Words (Thats my 2nd fav of all time).

[DMin42]

Hard to pick just one favorite......but it's definitely something by Menudo :Smug:

Although I don't really see Iron Maiden as having weak songs, I feel that PoM has weaker songs than SiT. I think every song on SiT is strong, especially the last half of the album. However, PoM is definately a winner, no doubt about that. Both are masterpieces, but I think SiT is better.
