Then both.

Highway to Hell
Back in Black
Thunderstruck
Dio's Greatest Hits
Black Album (Metallica)
Johnny Cash Greatest Hits

Really though, most CDs I own are mixed ones (except AC/DC and a few others).

Wu Tang Clan: Iron Flag
Rammstein: Rosenrot
Cypress Hill: IV (or black sunday because of a few classics.)
Damian Marley: Welcome to Jamrock
Opgezwolle: Vloeistof (dutch group so noone knows who they are but whatever.)
Michael Jackson: Thriller (duh?)
The Roots: The Tipping point



And I really can't think of many more, usually I only really like a few songs on an album.

Duane: You know what they say about love and war.
Tim: Yes, one involves a lot of physical and psychological pain, and the other one's war.

Hmm..

I guess you mean to the general public.

The Beatles - Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
Bob Dylan - Highway 61 Revisited
The Rolling Stones - Exile on Main Street
The Clash - London Calling
Miles Davis - Kind of Blue
The Jimi Hendrix Experience - Are You Experienced?

Robert Johnson King of the Delta Blues Singers, Vol. 1
The Who - Who's Next
Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin
Ramones - Ramones
David Bowie - The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars
The Eagles - Hotel California
The Sex Pistols - Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols
Pink Floyd - The Dark Side of the Moon

But a lot of those don't interest me..
I would have added:
Sigur Ros - ()
Megadeth - Rust in Peace
Steely Dan - Boxed Set
Public Enemy - It Takes a Nation of Millions...
Ice Cube - Death Certificate
Guns n' Roses - Appetite for Destruction

Led Zeppelin IV. 'nuff said.

As much as I love U2 no one album is quite outstanding. The Joshua Tree is probably their best, though.

The two biggest overated bands ever.
Decent pub rock, no more than that.
I guess at least Zep had some musical talent (clearly Plant is just a joke), but U2....have you ever heard "The Blunt" live. The guy can barely play the guitar.

Suggs,
I applaud your services to 'talking complete fucking sense', I can only aspire to someday grow into a man who is as bold in stating my (completely fucking correct) opinion as you.
Much Love,

U2's songs don't really involve difficult guitar riffs... I think Bono said in an interview that they specifically composed their songs so as to make them as simple as possible to play, because they're admittedly not the most talented band. I just love their sound and songwriting. Talented musicians can still sound like crap, and less-than-talented musicians can (clearly) sound awesome :P

As for Led Zeppelin and Robert Plant... well let's just say that he's frickin' old and he can STILL hold those long notes in Kashmir. Brilliant vocalist.

Oh, I don't deny that Plant has a technically good voice "Look Mum, I can reach this really high note".
Just he never put it to any good effect, and lyrically he may as well have just been gargling for all the sense they made -total tosh.

If songs had the make sense to be good then we'd have to discount "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" and "I am the Walrus," and I wouldn't be willing to do that...

Nostalgia aside, I kind of think In-Rainbows is one of my favs. Especially the scotch mist sessions.

Radiohead- All I Need- with a very Sigur Ros like intro
