I'm looking for black midi, but alas not in the list so my vote goes to King Crimson.

Peter Hammill - A Black Box. Weird, uneven and rough around the edges. Just brilliant. 

Followed by AC/DC, King Crimson, Bowie and Amy Winehouse. Black Sabbath's debut has an amazing side one, but side two is just weak imo. 

Where's Venom - Black Metal???

Black Sabbath
Music has always been a matter of energy to me. On some nights I believe that a car with the needle on empty can run 50 more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio. Hunter S Thompson

Must have black in the title? Spinal Tap had a black album. Next choice is KC.

I am not familiar with all of them, but I really enjoy:
Amy Winehouse - Back To Black
David Bowie - Blackstar

AC/DC is a guilty pleasure.
Black Album is a good album overall, but I have always felt that the songs sound a little bit too alike (those who really stick out are "The Unforgiven" and "Nothing Else Matters").

If we may count albums with black covers, I might add:
The Velvet Underground - White Light / White Heat
and another guilty pleasure: This is Spinal Tap (soundtrack album)

As soon as I saw the topic, Guapo's Black Oni sprung to mind (lots of "Black" albums that I love). While the immediate one I thought of is not on the list, I still would have voted for David Bowie's Blackstar. I have made my thoughts on this album and respect for David Bowie with this swansong very clear in other threads already. I think that this is an incredible album to go out on and it actually is my favourite David Bowie album (and I love lots of Bowie). This is one where two stars seems brutally off (ok, one star more-so) and really tacky to me. I give it five black stars. This and Rock Bottom are the two albums I probably most took issue with you disparaging, and that is not just because of the music, but because of the circumstances.
