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.

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
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.
"The Nation that makes a great distinction between its scholars and its warriors will have its thinking done by cowards and its fighting done by fools."
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...

Tbh I think OK Computer is the worst supposedly good album I've ever heard.

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

What, "I am the walrus" doesn't make sense to you?
