Top 10 Best Albums Ever (In my Opinion)

I absolutely love music!!! It's hard for me to pick my favorite albums ever, but I'm going to do it anyway. So here they are:

10. Habits- Neon Trees
Neon Trees is one of the best bands ever, and they have their own really unique sound. They're a mix between alternative and punk. Their hit song "Animal" has been getting pretty popular lately, but besides that song, my favorite songs on the album are "Sins of my Youth" and "1983." The energy in these songs are so awesome, I can never get tired of Neon Trees!! 

9. Greatest Hits- The Ramones
I love this album because it's a whole compilation of some of the best Ramones songs ever written. The punk feel of this album makes it so great, and I love the Ramones style of music. The songs are very catchy, too. The best songs on this album are "Sheena is a Punk Rocker," "I Wanna Be Sedated," and of course, "Blitzkrieg Bop."

8. Appeal to Reason- Rise Against
Despite how much I like the other Rise Against albums, I would have to pick their album Appeal to Reason for the best. The songs on this album are so powerful and they have a very distinct sound, which I like. My favorite songs on this album are "Re-Education (Through Labor)" and "Savior."

7. Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge- My Chemical Romance
As much as I love all of My Chemical Romance's music, I would have to go with their good old, first album, Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge. Their lyrics in this album were so clever I loved that whole rebellious vibe. This album was more of there darker/emo days, and it seemed like the albums that followed lost that edge a little more, which was what I liked about the album. My favorite songs on this album are "Helena" and "I'm Not Okay (I Promise)."

6. Ocean Eyes- Owl City
It's difficult to choose between either Ocean Eyes or Maybe I'm Dreaming, but my favorite song by Owl City is "Vanilla Twilight," and that's on the Ocean Eyes album, so I'd have to go with that one. I love Owl City's creative lyrics and fun sound. I could listen to Owl City all day and not get sick of one song. His songs always put me in a good mood!

5. We Stitch These Wounds- Black Veil Brides
Black Veil Brides has some really awesome songs on their album, like "We Stitch These Wounds," "The Mortician's Daughter," and "Sweet Blasphemy." The lyrics are pretty deep and emotional. Plus, the guitar solos are amazing!!

4. American Idiot- Green Day
Green Day is probably one of the best bands ever, and my favorite album of theirs would have to be American Idiot. I think the whole album is awesome, but if I had to pick my favorite songs, it would be "Jesus of Suburbia," "Wake me up when September Ends," and "Holiday." I love how most of the songs are fast and upbeat and really catchy, too.

3. Dying is your Latest Fashion- Escape the Fate
This is the only overall totally awesome album by Escape the Fate (because Craig Mabbit is the lead singer in the other albums, and Ronnie Radke is way better than Craig, as you can see in this album). The whole album rocks and I can honestly say that I can't pick favorites with it because all of the songs are equally good. Ronnie's voice sounds amazing in the songs and the guitar solos are awesome. Their lyrics have a lot of meaning and emotion in them, also, especially in "Not Good Enough for Truth in Cliche," "When I go out, I want to go out on a Chariot of Fire," and "My Apocalypse." The song "Friends and Alibis" is an uplifting song on their album, and also one of my favorites. This is what I mean about picking my favorite songs..they're all so good!!

2. Blink-182: Greatest Hits- Blink-182
I couldn't choose between any of the Blink-182 albums because there are lots of good songs on all of the albums, so I decided to pick a compilation of the best of their songs. I love both of the lead singers' voices because they're so unique and even though some people say that Blink-182 sounds like any other punk band, I think they have their own distinct sound, which I love. Their songs are very catchy and they all sound different. I definitely cannot pick any favorite songs on this album because all of them are good, so listen to it!!

And for number 1.....

1. This is War- 30 Seconds to Mars
I think that 30 Seconds to Mars is definitely one of the best bands ever. They're music always comes with a message and speaks out to people of all ages. They are all about standing together as a community and being free. 30 Seconds to Mars has some pretty powerful lyrics and songs, especially in this album. To hear them perform these songs at concerts is amazing! The best songs on this album (even though this is really hard to pick) are "This is War," "Kings and Queens," and "Closer to the Edge," only because I think they have the most powerful lyrics. 30 Seconds to Mars tries to portray messages to people through their music, and that is why I love this album.
