I'm gonna add Pink Floyd's The Wall to this list just for the fact that it is a proper story told through music of Pink's journey through life and his mental breakdown. It's a fantastic album that everyone should listen to...

In my opinion, the three best albums ever released are:
Tool - Lateralus Nine Inch Nails - The Downward Spiral The Prodigy - The Fat Of The Land
Before you dismiss my taste in music as inferior to yours, bear in mind that I've probably heard (and own) all of those you think are better...
The Prodigy - The Fat Of The Land
This was released in 1997, eight years later and it is still light years ahead of anything else you will hear.
The style has been called everything from techno and rave through to dance-rock. It's actually a combination of hip hop, hardcore, industrial rap, punk rock and trace elements of everything in between. The album explores so many different styles or music (including many samples of music from other cultures) over the ten tracks that it can't really be classified.
Nine Inch Nails - The Downward Spiral
Trent Reznor is the greatest musician of the last fifteen years. Nine Inch Nails are the greatest band of the last fifteen years. 1994's The Downward Spiral was NIN at their very best.
Some people just aren't cut-out for something like this. You don't listen to The Downward Spiral, you experience it. Dark, moody, passionate, calming, a story rather than a collection of songs. This album is a true masterpiece in every respect. You've probably heard Hurt, maybe even Closer, but they are just pieces of a much bigger jigsaw.
Tool - Lateralus
Tool are making music that no other band can touch. Lateralus pushed the boundaries so far with this album that nobody will touch them for many, many years.
Musically, Tool are probably the most talented band in the world today. This album is for metal what Radiohead's OK Computer is for indie.
Songs about the orbit of Saturn, the bond between two metaphysical bodies and alien life may seem rather unusual. The tribal drumming, haunting guitars, outstanding vocals and so many other instruments that I couldn't even begin to name, come together to produce an album so good that you can expect to ejaculate upon the end of the final track.

Hey Naith, I think it comes down to personal taste. I personally don't think The Downward Spiral even touches Achtung Baby, and I'm looking at them critically. We must look for different things in music.

I brought you my bullets you brought me your love by My Chemical Romance I know most of you will just dimiss these as whiny little emo weirdos but this alvum is amazing. Its very emotional and passionate, and more raw than the songs MCR have recently released, especially "Sunsets over Monroeville" and "Demolition Lovers"
Live and Dangerous by Thin Lizzy Everyone should own a thin Lizzy album, period.
Ascendncy by Trivium The best album of 2005. Anyone into heavy fast music will love them. My favourite track is "dying in your arms". Anyone into Trivium should also definitly own Valley of the Damned by Dragonforce
Now Your speaking my lanuage by Juliette and the Liks Juliette Lewis (from Natural Born Killers) sings on this and she has a fantastic voice. Its proper old school rock and roll, shes like a female Mick Jagger.

I feverently disagree. The Fat of The Land and The Downward Spiral weren't even the best albums released in their respective years, and Lateralus wasn't even the best prog rock album of its anum if you count Echoes by Pink Floyd.

Well it all comes down to opinions. The same way in which I don't particularly rate your listed albums as anything more than merely okay.

Argh, there's that "O" word again! Fucking hell, this is why I'm such an aggressive bastard.
Fair enough. Tool are one of the most proficient progressive rock bands out there.
I'd like to point out that my three albums weren't what I consider the best: they were just recommendations for morons who only listen to what's in the charts.

Dont start on Cena fans! I bought his album, its actually pretty good. Have you listened to it fully? Tracks like "Just another day" and "summer flings" are better than most of the bland, mind numbing cack that has currently infiltrated the charts. His fans arent "morons", theyre just not self righteous snobby music fans who offer no opinion to back up their statement that he sucks.

I'll agree with ehren. I actually bought the Cena album(shame, SHAME), but found it better than some mainstream rap. 50 Cent is about image, and not music, and if I hear that damn freaking annoying Candy Shop again, I'll ... I'll... be sad. I agree with Legend too, The Downward Spiral simply can't touch other, better, albums. The Fat of the Land would make it into my top 10, but not 3. My albums I listed were just varied pieces of music that I thought would be of interest to some. Of course I know Lovebox is nowhere near the top of any list, but it's different music from most of what has been listed. If you want my top 3, I'd say The Joshua Tree, Achtung Baby, and Sister.

The Joshua Tree is one of the better experimental albums you can buy. I think it makes most people's top twenty lists at least.

1. The Real Thing- Faith No More 2. Busted Stuff- Dave Matthews Band 3. Delirium Cordia- Fantomas(record holder for longest song on an album.) 4. One HOt Minute- Red Hot Chili Peppers 5. California- Mr. Bungle(seriously the best album 99% of you have never heard)

Staind - Break The Cycle
This was one of the first albums I bought and I found it a couple weeks ago and thought it to be quite good. A change in my musical taste buds has meant that the only songs on it I really listen to is It's Been A While and Outside, but the album will surely have something for everyone...

I recently got back into Arcade Fire, after having an obesession with them, and must now boot Sister off the top 3 and put on Funeral. If you haven't heard this album, it blows almost everything mentioned here out of the water. Extremely emotional, yet very sincere, and brilliant song-craftsmanship.
