And I like your take on a few of them, too. "The Hurting" was very cool and I like that one as well (in fact, all TFF I like), but it was how "Songs From The Big Chair" played from beginning to end that makes it perfect. "Unforgettable Fire" was actually the first CD I ever purchased (back in 1987). I really need to get the Trilogy DVD. Marilyn Manson is one of those bands that, like you, I can listen to in the right mood and it just does something, especially when cranked up. kevin - Why thank you, sir.

U2 - The Joshua Tree: by the time this came out I was already a fan as I'd already heard "The Unforgettable Fire" when I was a wee nipper. Those early U2 albums were some of the first albums that I got my mum and dad to buy me. I played The Joshua Tree to death when it came out. I think this album is their masterpiece. One Tree Hill is the highlight I think. I've felt a little meh for recent U2 albums to be honest. The Joshua Tree is their last true great album (for me anyway). Marilyn Manson - Antichrist Superstar: played this album to death when it came out. Love Dried Up, Tied Up To The World and Tourniquet. Oh, and Angel With The Scabbed Wings too. I'm a big fan of darker/goth music in general but when I'm in the right mood, nothing beats turning the volume up on this album. Tears For Fears - Songs From The Big Chair: another great album but I think I might slightly prefer The Hurting to this album though. It's a tough decision. Shout, Mother's Talk, and The Working Hour are superb songs. The Cure - Pornography: along with Disintegration, this album is a true masterpiece. I must admit the DVD audio rip of their Trilogy DVD Pornography set is actually better than the original album. I play that to death. Nice writeup sir. I enjoyed reading your take on these albums. Couldn’t agree more on 11,16,17,19,24,25.

I forget because someone *cough*Rott*cough* took my shirt. LOL Basically, one of Manson's band stepped on me and shoved me and Marilyn was right where he could have caught me to keep me from falling. Instead, he stepped aside and I started to fall onto the stairs. Poison was on the stairs and Bret and CC caught me. Bobby said, "That's fucked up." Bret said, "Fucker." and CC asked me if I was okay. Manson stalked off with his nose in the air. I think the Karnival One concert was in 2001.

And, of course, this is the mystery of the quotient. I can’t agree with most of these, but Houses of the Holy and Dark Side of the Moon (and Paranoid) are definitely on my top list.

Even Bret Michaels said so when he and the rest of Poison rescued me... 17, 20, and 24 are the only ones I’m not so into. I pretty much have everything else on your list.
