    gonna put in a vote for Green Day's american idiot- yes, I know, it's "soOoOoOo ~mainstream~" but it really was a masterpiece. can you think of any other political rock operas that defined a generation? Insomniac and Kerplunk were pretty damn solid too. and, of course, Dookie.

    I don't really have a top ten, but my favourite albums ever are

    Echoes, Silence, Patience and Grace by Foo Fighters, and
    Puzzle by Biffy Clyro.

    Would also have to add
    Quadraphenia by The Who
    Appetite for Destruction by Guns n Roses
    Help! By the Beatles!
