I'm curious to see what you guys like. DC you're welcomed to post your top 10 here so I can steal your musical tastes.
My personal favorite is
Tool - Lateralus (2001). It's like it came from space, no weak points, at all.
The number of listens for this album says everything about it, around 50 million plays on youtube, 18 million plays on last.fm.
Recommended tracks, all of them but especially:
- Lateralus (top 10 songs ever made, the ending climax is godly, superb lyrics)
- Reflection (very mysterious, grabs you into a trance from the beginning and doesn't let you go until it ends, superb lyrics)
- Schism (creppy and catchy, superb lyrics)
Honorable mentions:
Tool - Aenima (1996), 10,000 Days (2006), Undertow (1993)
Pink Floyd - Division Bell (1994), Wish You Were Here (1975) - I wish I was there...
