Eh, I didn't think the new Alestorm measured up to CMR.  "Death Throes of the Terrorsquid" was a pretty big disappointment.  It was like they ripped off "Rime of the Ancient Mariner."  Badly.  I love the title track though.  As much as I love Alestorm, I have to scold you severely for putting it above some other actual fantastic albums like I&W.  I mean, come on man.

And that Sabbath album is good.  Never was a fan of Anthrax.

It was initially much higher, like #16 high, but I realized that was kind of ridiculous, so I switched it with an album that it turns out I like a hell of a lot more than I initially thought.

Man, I used to rawk out to Spreading the Disease 'urryday


Given, I never liked anything else they ever did, and I don't really like STD nowadays but man back in 6th grade that was the album

Also, I like Alestorm but 34?  Haha

Amazing choices! I think you've just overtaken letters for the best list so far! :)

Paranoid is my fave Sabbath album! Great choice.

Alestorm is a fun band and all but they would never come close to being on my top 50 list.

Youtubed a few Alestorm songs, they're great fun and some good songs. Dunno if I could ever seriously get into them though.

I don't think you have anything to worry about.  I mean, the song doesn't mention which Christian to kill, does it?  For all we know the song could be telling us to kill Hitler.  That strikes me as a noble endeavor.

31. Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon


The only complaint I could see anybody having about this album being on the list is that it's too low. Anyone who doesn't enjoy this album is quite frankly, an idiot. Every single aspect of it is absolutely timeless. This is one of the few albums that can work in two ways. It's perfectly acceptable as a pop album, since the vast majority of it is incredibly accessible. Numerous songs from Dark Side are still played on classic rock radio. On the other hand, it's also a thematic album that's extremely progressive. It's very easy to just zone out and take it all in, especially with the instrumental tracks. There's nothing else to say about this album. If you haven't heard it, you haven't lived. The only reason it's lower on the list than 30 others is because I've overplayed it, and there are albums I enjoy more.

Recommended tracks: All of them.

30. The Offspring - Americana


Punk is a passion of mine I'm sure few people are aware of. Slipknot and The Offspring,  the unlikely duo they are, got me into good music. This album was absolutely huge for me back in the day. The Offspring present a different type of punk than the pop-punk of bands like Green Day and blink-182. Sure, it's still quite catchy, but it's got so much more of an edge than the other stuff. Their earlier material is even heavier. This album happens to be my second favorite Offspring album. I love pretty much every song (even Feelings, fuck the haters), and Pay the Man is definitely the coolest song the band has ever attempted. If progressive punk were ever to exist, The Offspring would have created it with that song. Highly recommended.

Recommended tracks: Have You Ever, Staring at the Sun, She's Got Issues, Pay the Man

29. Porcupine Tree - Fear of a Blank Planet


I can really relate to this album, even though it's essentially condemning the type of people it would relate to. The album is basically about teenagers who are constantly connected to the internet and other electronic devices. The kids eventually end up terminally bored, and the world feels like a blank place. It's really difficult to sum up my feelings about this album. Even though it makes me feel like shit for being able to relate to it in the way that I do, it's also strangely therapeutic. The album has a very dark atmosphere, and it just feels good. Unfortunately, I can't really think of any other way to describe it. Just know that I'm connected to this album on a deep, personal level.

Recommended tracks: Anesthetize (One of my favorite songs ever), Way Out of Here
Orion....that's the one with a bunch of power chords and boringly harsh vocals, isn't it?

DSOTM would be around the same spot on my list for the same reasons.  Love it, but its only so low because I've listened to it so much.  Don't care for the Offspring.

I just listened to FOABP + Nil Recurring for the first time in a while last night.  Its such a good album and gets a considerable amount of flak compared to other PT albums that it doesn't really deserve.  I also agree with your two recommended songs.

Btw, here's my FOABP/NR tracklist:

FOABP
My Ashes
Cheating the Polygraph
Anesthetize
Normal
Sentimental
Nil Recurring
What Happens Now?
Way Out of Here
Sleep Together

Its eerie how well everything fits together like this.

But seriously, cool to see DSotM and Fear of a Blank Planet. I agree with you about FoaBP being therapeutic. In general, I find depressing music to be very comforting.

It took me SOOOOO LONG to really appreciate FOABP. But when it clicked (like...a few months ago) OH BOY did it click. Especially Way out of Here, which is probably the most relatable for me. God damn that song is heavy (in both sound and in content).
I felt its length in quite a few places.
