Sheesh, everybody likes stupid pop...If you want something different, try Juno Reactor - Beyond the Infinite. I actually like all of Ben Watkin's stuff, but unlike other people I am able to choose just one album.

Jesus, people... four pages and no votes for a Dylan album?
I was getting all happy-feeling inside (besides the fact that half of you said Pink Floyd), and then you had to come along and mess it up for me. Bob Dylan is a fart, he can't even sing because all the drugs and smokeses messed up his voice. Sure, Johnny Cash can't either, but atleast his lyrics are worth your time.

Thank you.


...Lol, I just realized how dumb it sounds to say "everybody likes pop".
 
first off, let me mention that the OP did not specify what type of music that they like, but it seems like most genres are represented here...

anyways, there's definitely some good stuff here, but there's a few i need to add to the list...

Jurassic 5-power in numbers
alice in chains-unplugged
boston-boston (can't believe it hasn't been mentioned)
incubus-make yourself(way better than morning view)
kenny wayne shepherd band-trouble is
mushroomhead-XX
outkast-stankonia
sublime-sublime
van morrison-moondance
emerson lake & palmer-trilogy
rage against the machine-rage against the machine

that's all i can come up with for now...
 
Some Eighties Albums 😀

NIN >> pretty hate machine
no other NIN album compares to the first.

INXS >> KICK
even if you're young this is the album to get if you want to hear 80's music

YES >> 90125
