    NIИ - The Downward Spiral is the common choice, but The Fragile is a much more complete album. However, my personal favorite is Year Zero.

      I would say Pretty Hate Machine is probably the best known. My favorite is Broken. You are probably correct about Downward Spiral being the consensus among the fan base as a whole. What I really like about NIN is that I enjoy all of their albums. Many other bands I like have some that I avoid. Probably my least favorite NIN album is Fixed and it’s still pretty listenable.

    Enslaved is my favourite band and for me its a bit of a toss up between the albums ‘In Times’ and ‘Ruun’.

    Before Enslaved took the top spot, it was Dissection’s ‘Storm Of The Light’s Bane’. Honorable mention for Opeth’s ‘Blackwater Park’.

    I have several favorite bands, so I refuse to choose between them. In no particular order:

    Dream Theater - Images and Words, but Awake is only lagging behind by a nanometer.

    Metallica - I have a hard time choosing between Puppets and Black

    Destiny Potato - Lun

    Dimmu Borgir - Puritanical

    Foo Fighters - The Colour and the Shape

      Here’s my thing about ‘Ten’.

      I love the first half of this album. It’s some of the best music I know in the genre. High energy, catchy, passionate. But somehow, the second half feels to me like the band ran out of ideas and gas. After ‘Jeremy’ it’s all pretty average, low-energy stuff, with the exception of ‘Garden’.
