I'll throw in a couple of modern bands to compliment yours...

Arcade Fire - Funeral

Bloc Party - Silent Alarm (never quite fufiled their potential after their fantastic debut)

Scissor Sisters - Scissor Sisters (some may poo-poo it, by I thought it was a fantastic and refreshing debut at the time)

Metallica - Kill Em All

Iron Maiden - Iron Maiden

Alice In Chains - Facelift

Mercyful Fate - Melissa

Savatage - Sirens

And heaps more.

Glad someone else likes The Scissor sisters debut album. I thought it was very good and catchy. Their second album was a bit hit and miss, but their most recent album Nightshift is pretty good. I like Bloc Party's debut too, but their most recent album Intimacy was pretty mediocre.

Couple of others:

Gang of Four - Entertainment! (I've mentioned them too much but anyway...)

Wire - Pink Flag

Sex Pistols - Never Mind... (Although regarded as a little contrived/produced I still think it was a great album :P)

I think their first was great - far better than Ta-Dah IMO, which to be honest has put me off testing out their new one. I think Bloc Party have slowly getting worse with each release...

Alice in Chains - Facelift Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath Dio - Holy Diver Guns N' Roses - Appetite for Destruction Karnivool - Themata The Killers - Hot Fuss (they went waaay downhill after this one) Metallica - Kill 'em All Ozzy Osbourne - Blizzard of Ozz Pearl Jam - Ten A Perfect Circle - Mer de Noms Rage Against The Machine - Rage Against The Machine Stone Temple Pilots - Core :DCreepingDeath_

Awesome picks.

Guns N Roses and The Killers I'm totally with. Not sure about Kill 'em All though, only because I thought Ride the Lightening was better and Master... better still (that's just me though perhaps...). I'd say the same for Alice in Chains - although We Die Young was always one of my favourite Alice in Chains songs :P

1. Killers - Hot Fuss. This album was just amazing, I was 13 or 14 when I first heard it and it was amazing, however their follow up stuff was terrible(Sam's Town, the abbey road version is an exception)

2. The Art -EP. Even though their album isn't out yet, the EP is highly promising.

3. The Pixies - Come on Pilgrim.

4. Iron Maiden - Self Titled

5. Muse- Showbiz. Most people I know disliked Showbiz but really liked it.

Iron Maidens first 2 albums were their best, when Bruce came along i just cant listen to them much at a time, the operatic vocals get to me.

Bruce was the best IMO.

In no way are his vocals operatic.

6. Boo Radleys- Everything's alright forever

VaguelyTagged

You are quite right. Ichabod and I was their first, and I remember loving it a while back. However it is tough to get a copy now since they printed only about 500.

The Strokes - Is This It

The Killers - Hot Fuss(my most played album ever)

The Bravery - The Bravery

Smashing Pumpkins - Gish

30 Seconds To Mars - 30 Seconds To Mars (by far their best work)

Three Days Grace - Three Days Grace

On the Last Day- Meaning in the Static (it's not their first release but it is their first full album)
Dredg-El Cielo
Bright Eyes-Letting Off the Happiness (funny thing is thier later albums were even better)
Minus the Bear-Highly Refined Pirates

I'm sure there are more but this is all I can think of at the moment.

This one, if you like "thinking man's" rap where the lyrics actually have meaning and there is no talk of drugs and no swears.

Like, Pablo Honey man.....

the white stripes - the white stripes

still the best thing they've ever put out.

The Killers - Hot Fuss

Billy Talent - self titled

1. Falconer - Falconer
2. Boston - Boston
3. Battalions of Fear - Blind Guardian

Adelitas Way - Adelitas Way

Brilliant album
