Ok people, lets hear what you rate as your favorite album.... now I know all the obvious ones, the rock classics - dark side of the moon, sabbath, tubular bells, zeppelin etc etc, I am talking about the surprise gems, the ones that you didnt expect to be any good but actually blew you away, the ones that you keep wanting to hear every song again.... just as soon as the next one finishes cos you wanna hear this one too, and the next and the next.... the albums that everyone says 'really? Why?' until you sit them down to listen to it! The albums thatyou bought on a whim then discovered that every song is a belter!
I will start it off with Black Parade by My Chemical Romance
I was expecting a bit of emo whinging and discovered a... well, lets just say it is probably the best album as a whole thing, start to finish, since Division Bell by Floyd

Led Zeppelin.
Remasters.

Oh god, there are far tooo many. I am a big fan of soundtracks, specifically for games as of late...
