[Stewy522]

Metal- Ozzy- Blizzard of Ozz
Alt- Bush - Sixteenth Stone
Pop- Posin - Open up and say Ahhhh

Motley Crue - Dr. Feelgood
Ozzy - Diary of a Madman
GNR - Appitite for Destruction

[TheKrazyKatzzz]

I personly don't think albums are a good idea I think they shoud stick to just doing a few good songs by each band

I actually prefer "Greatest Hits" type deals like we had with The Who; I preferred what we got to Who's Next. However, since there's six albums announced, I like to think about what we could get.

[Ardius]

I personly don't think albums are a good idea I think they shoud stick to just doing a few good songs by each band

But the best songs are usually not the singles or greatest hits. I like the fact I can play other songs than the hits.

Anyway:
Pearl Jam - Ten
Deep Purple - In Rock
Iron Maiden - Seventh Son of a Seventh Son
Rush - Permanent Waves
Metallica - Ride the Lightning
Testament - Practice What You Preach

[e r r o r]

METAL
Metallica - Master of Puppets (aka Best Metal Album of All Time)

ALTERNATIVE
Alice in Chains - Dirt
or
Radiohead - OK Computer
or
Sonic Youth - Daydream Nation
or
The Smashing Pumpkins - Siamese Dream

POP
U2 - Achtung Baby

good points

that said I would have to say for me personaly it would be hard to pick 6

I would love to see Alice in chains as one of them
as they are one of the few bands that I could say I like every thing they have done
well when Layne Staley was still alive

..::EDIT::..
and maybe soundgarden Badmotorfinger

[schmeankman]

Metal: AC/DC - Back in Black
Alt: Nirvana - Nevermind
Pop: U2 - Joshua Tree

Others:
Green Day - Dookie
The Offspring - Smash
Cake - Prolonging the Magic
I would love it if these happened. :)

[ironman126]

Rust In Peace - Megadeth (Metal)
What Ever People Say I Am, That' What I'm Not - Arctic Monkeys(Alt)
Room On Fire - The Strokes
Absolution - Muse

Edit: I feel like I have betrayed an old friend. I used to have Ashes Of the Wake on here but I feel like Queens Of The Stone Ages debut is my 3rd most wanted album so I had to switch them.

[Deadman2112]

Rust In Peace - Megadeth


yeah I would have to add this one to the list too
dam I can't believe that I didn't think of this one

I'm ashamed of myself :o

[afterstasis]

METAL: iron maiden - somewhere in time
POP: blondie - eat to the beat
ALT: REM - murmur

ozzy osbourne - blizzard of ozz
creedence clearwater revival - cosmo's factory
the darkness - permission to land

[Deadman2112]

METAL: iron maiden - somewhere in time


and yet another one
boy did I drop the ball on this one
:(

man when I saw that name I can remember some good times when I was 13 jamming the hell out of this one

oh man could you imaging playing The Loneliness Of The Long Distance Runner
drummers arms and legs would fall off
singers lungs would dry up
and guitarist hands would melt
this truly would be epic to try


and now that I think about it

DIO last in line would be awesome too

so that's 5
close enough

[vApathyv]

Metal: Iron Maiden- Powerslave (I just want 2 Minutes to Midnight. >_>)
Alt: Pearl Jam- Ten
Pop: Weezer- Blue Album

Other three:
The Strokes- First Impressions of Earth
Radiohead- The Bends
Motley Crue- Shout At The Devil

I would have also included Nirvana's Nevermind album, but I was trying to avoid other people's choices as much as possible (Except for Pearl Jam, because that still remains my second favorite album of all time.)

[back_blows]

Metal: Iron Maiden-Piece of Mind
Alt: Butthole Surfers-Locust Abortion Technician
Pop: Def Leppard-Hysteria

Others:
Metallica-Master of Puppets
Motley Crue-Dr.Feelgood
Skid Row-Slave to the Grind

[kingtonyx]

a lot of people with some strange choices for a "Pop" and "Alternative" album

Metal - Metallica (Metallica)
Alternative - Light Grenades (Incubus)
Pop - RIOT! (Paramore)
Other - Billy Talent (Billy Talent)
Other - When Your Heart Stops Beating (+44)
Other - A Beautiful Lie (30 Seconds To Mars)

[RicoTheAwesomeCat]

Metal - Rust In Peace - Megadeth
Alt - Bleach - Nirvana
Pop - All We Know Is Falling - Paramore (the game considers them pop, so I can hope.)

Black Holes and Revelations - Muse
Fortress - Preotest The Hero
Songs For The Deaf - Queens of the Stone Age

[Chris P Fried]

Metal- Iron Maiden - A Matter of Life and Death
Alt- The Killers - Sam's Town
Pop- All American Rejects - Move Along (Not going to happen because we already have the two most mainstream tracks but oh well.)

Muse - Black Holes and Revelations
Billy Talent - Billy Talent II
MCR - The Black Parade

If I could add a seventh album it would be No World for Tomorrow-Coheed and Cambria. I would gladly swap the pop album for some Coheed.

[rocketmanpwns]

Metal - Metallica - Black Album
Alt - Motion City Sountrack - I Am The Movie
Pop - Paramore - All We Know Is Falling

Fightstar - Grand Unification
Funeral For A Friend - Cassually Dressed & Deep in Conversation
Pendulum - Hold Your Colour

[csvdavies87]

Metal: Protest the Hero - Fortress
Alt: Soundgarden - Badmotorfinger
Pop: Michael Jackson - Thriller

Others:
Rise Against - The Sufferer and the Witness
Incubus - S.C.I.E.N.C.E.
lostprophets - Start Something

[alex_rb]

Pearl Jam - Ten is a must have. I got it last week and it's a perfect fit for this game.

[My name is Fez]

Metal: Metallica - Best of 12 Pack (Master of Puppets, Wherever I May Roam, One, Fuel, Fade to Black, Hit the Lights, Fight Fire With Fire, The Outlaw Torn, Die, Die My Darling, Whiskey in the Jar, Hero of the Day, -Human, The Day That Never Comes)
Alternative: Nirvana - "Nevermind"
Pop: Fall Out Boy - "From Under the Cork Tree"

Others:

Radiohead - "OK Computer"
Muse - "Absolution"
Ours - "Mercy (Dancing for the Death of an Imaginary Enemy)"

I would have included the likes of the bands featured in my signature, but I don't think they're properly equipped for full album releases, especially Tool and Primus.

Also, an honorable mention goes to "A Crow Left of the Murder" by Incubus, it was hard to leave that out. It'd get in the game before Ours, but whatever, the thread is about albums I'd choose =p

[MGSfanboy]

Metal- Metallica (Black Album)
Alt- Nevermind
Pop- White Album Beatles

Nirvana- In Utero
Radiohead- The Bends
Megadeth- Greatist Hits Back to the Start or Rust in Peace

[Daidj]

Metal - some Iron maiden, otherwise I won't like it
Alternative - Radiohead best-of
Pop - Weezer - Green album (even if it's cheesy)

Others:
Greenday - Dookie
Rage against the machine - RATM
Dire straits with sultans of swing on it

[BhindBluEyes430]

Metal: Iron Maiden-Number Of The Beast
Alt: Soundgarden-superunknown
Pop: Gnarls Barkley-St. Elsewhere

The Rolling Stones-Sticky fingers
The Clash-The Clash
Bob Dylan-Highway 61 Revisited

[Hungryfreak]

I'm just going to go by possible ones this time.

Metal - Megadeth - Rust In Peace
Alt - Pearl Jam - Ten (So long as grunge is being called alternative)
Pop - (I don't listen to or enjoy enough pop to have an opinion)


Other
Prog - Frank Zappa - Apostrophe
Rock - Cream - Disraeli Gears
Punk - The Sex Pistols - Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols

[Fender731]

Metal - BFMV - The Poison
Alternative - Foo Fighters - The Colour and The Shape
Pop/Punk - Green Day - Dookie
Other - Soundgarden - Superunknown
Other - Metallica - Master Of Puppets
Other - Van Halen - Van Halen

[WingsOfSteel]

Metal: Metallica - Master of Puppets
Alt: Smashing Pumpkins - Siamese Dream
Pop: Jimmy Eat World - Bleed American

3 Others:
Kansas - Masque
Rush - Permanent Waves
Journey - Escape

[Runesmith]

METAL: iron maiden - somewhere in time
POP: blondie - eat to the beat
ALT: REM - murmur

ozzy osbourne - blizzard of ozz
creedence clearwater revival - cosmo's factory
the darkness - permission to land

Eat to the Beat is my favorite Blondie album and quite possibly one of my favorite records of all-time. If they do decide to add more Blondie to the game, though, I'd hope Detroit 442 was among the picks, just to show the more rocking side of the band to people who think they were only a silly pop group. Murmur is among REM's best, too. Great picks all around!

Metal: Black Metal by Venom
Pop: Rumours by Fleetwood Mac
Alternative: In the Flat Field by Bauhaus

Goth Rock: Disintegration by The Cure
Prog: The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway by Genesis
Blues-rock: Rancho Texicano by ZZ Top

[Maikeru]

Metal - Metallica - "Master of Puppets." Plenty of amazing tracks on this to complement the Metallica DLC in RB1 and the opening track ("Battery") on RB2. However, the fact that said opener is in the next game may make this unlikely. If so, that's a shame because I can't think of a single bad song from this.
Alternative - Pearl Jam - "Ten."
Pop - The Police - "Zenyatta Mondatta."

Others:

Megadeth - "Rust in Peace." Hangar 18 returns! Plus Holy Wars / The Punishment Due, Tornado of Souls, and other awesomeness.
Rage Against the Machine - "Evil Empire."
Anthrax - "Madhouse: The Very Best of Anthrax."

[gunja]

Throwing Copper-Live

Ten- Pearl Jam

Core- STP

Master of Puppets- Metallica

The Bends- Radiohead

Toxicity- SOAD


But I'd settle for Throwing Copper by Live.

[csvdavies87]

i've seen a couple mentions of Superunknown, since we already have Black Hole Sun and we are getting Spoonman in RB2, this is unlikely, but a couple more tracks would do :)

[giroml]

Metal:
Rust in Peace - Megadeth
Alternative:
Nevermind - Nirvana
Pop:
Hysteria - Human League

3 Others:
Back in Black - AC/DC
The Wall - Pink Floyd
Led Zeppelin IV - Led Zeppelin

[SilverTongue]

Metal-
AC/DC - Highway to Hell

Alt-
Green Day - Dookie

Pop-
U2 - Joshua Tree or whatever they can get -

Other shameless wishes:
Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon
Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin II (what rockband drummer doesn't want to play Moby Dick???)

Album you never heard of:
The Refreshments - Fuzzy Wuzzy Big and Buzzy - one of those rare albums where I like every song.

[iamwormbuffet]

Metal - Metallica Master Of Puppets
Alt - Radiohead Ok Computer
Pop - U2 Greatest Hits :P

Arcade Fire - Funeral
Rammstein - Sehnsucht
Pink Floyd - The Wall

[Newsman]

Metal: Disturbed/ Ten Thousand Fists
Alt: Linkin Park/ Meteora
Pop:
Other: Slipknot (any album)
Other: Guns N Roses/ Appetite for Destruction
Other: Lynyrd Skynyrd/ All Time Greatest Hits

[TheKrazyKatzzz]

I think most classify Rush as classic rock... so now I guess it's a metal, alt, pop, and two others.

Based on recent comments, I'm going to say that one may very well be related to a song that was already released as a cover that they now have a master for.

Albums I'd like to see that follow this vein:

Main Disc:
Paranoid by Black Sabbath
The Number of the Beast by Iron Maiden

DLC:
Willy and the Poor Boys by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Good Apollo, I'm Burning Star IV, Volume One: From Fear Through The Eyes of Madness by Coheed and Cambria

I think the most likely candidates are either a Sabbath album or a Coheed and Cambria album, considering both of those are artists that HMX has gotten Masters from in the past.

It's good to see all the love for Pearl Jam's Ten. Hopefully, HMX took note of this some time ago and we get good news next Friday. It's not my favorite Pearl Jam album, but I won't get greedy; Pearl Jam, please! :)

In fact, how about an announcement full of Pearl Jam related material!?

Pearl Jam - Vs.
Mother Love Bone - Apple
Temple of the Dog - self-titled
Mad Season - Above
Neil Young - Mirror Ball
Green River - Come on Down

While you're at, HMX, do you think we could get the Deep Six Compilation too?

[xX51NN3RXx]

AC/DC isn't metal.

[TheKrazyKatzzz]

AC/DC isn't metal.

AC/DC is actually all genres and all decades.

[CrueFan777]

Metal-Judas Priest- Metal Works
Alt.-3 Doors Down- Away From the sun
Pop- Micheal Jackson- Thriller

Other 3
Motley Crue- Dr.Feelgood
Def Leppard- Vault
Van Halen- 1984

Alt: Alice in Chains - Jar of Flies
Pop: Freezepop - Future Future Future Perfect

Other:

Dream Theater - Images and Words
Queensrÿche - Operation Mindcrime
Tool - AEnima

[DontShutTheGate]

Metal - If it's old school metal I'm not a big fan (though a full Maiden album might be cool if they actually had masters), but something more modern I'd take Filter's Title of Record.

Alternative - Smashing Pumpkins - Siamese Dream or Queens of the Stone Age - Songs for the Deaf

Pop - No idea what I'd pick or what this could even be. If pop punk counts I'd go with Green Day's Dookie or American Idiot.

[TheKrazyKatzzz]

Alter: The Colour and the Shape - Foo Fighters


Wow, Robby managed to nail one of the six in the first response to my post! Nice job!

Also congrats to Fender731 for also getting The Colour and the Shape and to vladdrac for getting his first listed pick, Peace Sells.
