30)Symphony X-The Devine Wings Of Tragedy (1997)
Currently running a survivor on this. You might be surprised since this IS the only SX album on here. I know I am. But yeah,this is pretty much I&W for SX. I absolutely love the opener "Of Sins And Shadows". A perfect way to open up any album. Sea Of Lies is also great,keeping up the blood pleasure. But i really love The Accolade. Being the mini epic and balladish song of the album,it kicks ass. Russell Allen's vocals kick ass on this track. And for some reason 3:00 to 3:10 reminds me the intro to Watcher Of The Skies by Genesis. Am I the only one? Probably. Also the title track is the best song by SX period. From the intro to the outro,this song is prefect. Candlelight Fantasia is also one of the most underrated songs by the band. It's a ballad and a really good one. Closes the album very nicely.
Favorite song:Title track
29)Pink Floyd-Dark Side Of The Moon (1973)
This album is best experienced as a whole. Seriously is there anything not already said about this album? It's a masterpiece. I'm proud that humans can have this much talent. Yeah. Us And Them. Yeah. Best song on the album. Yeah. I really like Time though. Yeah. Money is fun too. Yeah. I shouldn't be writing at 3AM. Yeah.
Favorite Song:Us And Them
28)Haken-Visions (2011)
Ahhh Haken. You blew me away like a fat kid's fart after eating a gigantic cake on his birthday. And that's a good thing. I really hope these guys have a huge future. I adore this album and so should you. Kind of reminds me of I&W in a way too. It has this feel that after their first album,they finally found a sound unique to them and now they're trying to perfect it. If Aquarius is gold,this is uhhmmm whatever is better than gold. Premonition fading into Nocturnal Conspiracy,i guess the first song that i've heard from Haken. It blew me away. The way that the song is very calm and then explodes 3 minutes in is absolutely fantastic. Oh and btw i love the vocals. I saw a review that talked about the vocals being mediocre and all i have to say is… No matter who you are and no matter where you are,YOUR OPINION SUCKS! GAH! Ok I'm done. The next songs are very good as well. This is a very consistent album. Insomnia is a great song too. I really like the solo section on that song. Very Rudess like. I actually prefer this to ADTOE If you noticed btw. Yeah. The title track is some of the coolest epic songs that I've ever heard of. It really makes the whole album connect. I love it. I love the reprises as well. So yeah.
Favorite Song:Visions (duh)
27)Rush-Permanent Waves (1980)
YUP! This is THAT high on my list. Often considered the last good Rush album,(just kidding. It's my opinion. You don't like it? Good.) there's something special about this album for me. It has this cheerful vibe to it that i really love. Spirit Of Radio is a really catchy single. And I love it. Freewill has some amazing bass. Jacob's Ladder is some epic shit. I love it. Natural Science is also one of my favorites by the band. Well not much to say about this album. Also,this was my first Rush album. Got it for very cheap on vinyl and have been enjoying it ever since! Perfect album for that nice saturday night.
