Adultery is the only DFD album worth listening to, just like Colors is the only BtBaM album worth listening to.

Listen to the song "The Acid Memoirs" and STFU.

But you're wrong because both bands have other good albums.

Wrong forever.

I really dig what i've heard of Dog Fashion Disco and Polkadot Cadaver actually. It's like a Mike Patton band gone horribly, horribly wrong. In a most excellent way. I still want their basements checked out though, and maybe they should see what's buried in their garden too. You know, while they're there anyway.

Ok, uhm, carry on with your top 50.

ABIGAIL!!!!!

This is my favorite song off that album, bar none:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ChiVTM-vnIo

Andy's leads are so fucking ridiculous. Not to mention King's vocals. What a goddamn masterpiece.

So he pushed her down the stairs...TO DIIIIIIIE!!!! NO!....she CRIIIIIIIIIED! In 1777....on the 7th day of JULY!!!!!!

I really don't listen to King Diamond as much as I should.

jsem · « **Reply #293 on:** June 18, 2011, 04:32:19 PM »

Family Ghost and title track are my favs off the album.

Fantastic album indeed.

This.

Colors isn't even BTBAM's best IMO. But Adultery is easily DFD's best, such an amazing album and great to see it in this list!

King Diamond

wolfking · « **Reply #296 on:** June 19, 2011, 06:15:32 AM »

Abigail is easily one of the best heavy metal albums of all time. When I discovered King and this album, it changed my world for the better, simply a perfect album. Every song is a highlight. And yes, the guitar work between Andy and Michael Denner is just mindblowing, some of the best leads I've ever heard. Anyone who calls themself a heavy metal fan should know this album inside out.

Colors is also one of the best albums of the last 5 years.

Gadough · « **Reply #297 on:** June 19, 2011, 06:07:19 PM »

I'd go so far to say that King Diamond's band is the most underrated heavy metal band of all time.

I would definitely agree. Really, every KD album is great, I mean the Fatal Portrait, Abigail, Them, Conspiracy and The Eye run of albums is perfect. Spider, Graveyard and Voodoo are top quality metal also.

House of God is probably my fav tied with Abigial, it's just a perfect metal album. Great, horrifying story, great songs, and the team of Andy and Glen Drover on that album slays. Abigail 2, Puppet Master and Soul are amazing aswell. It's a shame King has been so sick lately. I hope we see another studio album from him.

And when you think of King's discography along with all the albums he did with MF, the man is a genius.

13. Ayreon - The Human Equation

Alright, put aside all of your "LOLAYREON" bullshit right now. I don't care how cheesy or generic you find the music, I'm going to lay it down right now why, OBJECTIVELY, no self-respecting music fan can ever dislike this album. First off, the all-star cast of vocalists. James LaBrie, Mikael Akerfeldt, Marcela Bovio, Devin Townsend, Mike Baker, and about 6 other awesome singers who you've never heard of outside of this album. Second, this album is proggy as fuck. There's so many different genres being represented here. No song sounds like the last one. You've got flutes, synthesizers, organs, guitars, a fucking didgeridoo, violins, what more could you possibly need in a perfect prog metal album? The final ingredient into the awesomeness is the story. The dueling of the emotions and the philosophical questions are just perfect, and they compliment the ethereal atmosphere. This album is beyond amazing, and I don't give a flying fuck what anyone else thinks.

Recommended tracks: Every single one of them.

12. Megadeth - Rust in Peace

This is a definitive speed metal classic, no doubt about that. The guitar duo of Dave Mustaine and Marty Friedman shall never be matched. I really don't know what else to say about this one. If you're a metal fan, you've probably already heard it.

Recommended tracks: Holy Wars...The Punishment Due, Hangar 18, Tornado of Souls, Rust in Peace...Polaris

11. Dream Theater - Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence

96 minutes of bliss, this album. Dream Theater has always been about 5 of the best musicians on the planet making some of the best music ever created. 6 truly epic songs, one broken up into 8 movements. This is one of the few true progressive masterworks. The first 5 songs are all rather experimental, and shockingly, they all work very well. The title track could have been a classical symphony back in the 1800s. Tons of classical influences, and the themes and their respective reprises are just chilling. Very few times has a song affected me as much as Six Degrees has. To this day, I can listen to it several times in a day and not get bored. Overall, yet another flawless album.

Recommended tracks: The Glass Prison, Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence

The top 10 is just around the corner. I am prepared to offer an unspecified gift if someone can accurately guess the albums and the correct order in which they are in.

I posted RiP first.

also you posted the recommended tracks in the wrong order

Jirpo · « **Reply #301 on:** June 19, 2011, 09:12:04 PM »

Great choices mate!

The latter two would definitely make my top 50, never listened to Aryeon

Ravenheart · « **Reply #302 on:** June 19, 2011, 09:14:12 PM »

The cool thing about The Human Equation is that it sums up the only Ayreon material worth hearing in a nice, 2-CD package. The ending absolutely kills the album, though.

Rust in Peace is excellent. SDOIT is the last worthwhile DT album as of today.

Seasons in the abyss
Covenant
Addicted
Deconstructon

Don't know what else.

Well I don't like the album, but then again I don't have a whole lot of self respect either. Makes sense.

Edit: I forgot to mention how much RIP RAWKS

Oh, and City. There are 5.

Ravenheart · « **Reply #307 on:** June 19, 2011, 09:18:36 PM »

The Human Equation isn't great, but it's alright. It's the only Ayreon album I've ever been able to stomach.

Jamesman42 · « **Reply #308 on:** June 19, 2011, 09:19:08 PM »

All 3 are fantastic albums.

One of the ones you mentioned is not on the list.

73109 · « **Reply #310 on:** June 19, 2011, 09:24:18 PM »

Either covenant or Decon. I'm leaning towards the former.

Gadough · « **Reply #311 on:** June 19, 2011, 09:39:14 PM »

....Yeah, I'm fairly certain Decon has a spot on this list.

skydivingninja · « **Reply #312 on:** June 19, 2011, 10:17:24 PM »

The Human Equation is the only Ayreon album I can sit through. It has some cool parts, but its still got its share of mehness.

RiP is badass though, as is 6DoiT. One of the few double albums I can listen to and enjoy the entire thing.
