Gotta go with;
King Crimson - Starless and Bible Black...first and foremost without question
And maybe a distant 2nd Emerson, Lake & Palmer - Black Moon
Thank you for supporting independently produced music

Black Noise

.
let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

I'll give you a hint - it includes lots of singers with the surname, "Brown". Smile

I haven't seen this thread yet, but I guess why you now talk about "brown albums" instead of "brown titles". Big smile

I'm afraid it doesn't get any better with the "brown titles" coming up next. Wink

Let's see, even right now I can't think of any I'm fond of. Smile

Of course this is about albums not bands. I would not have thought of black midi for a black albums list despite loving the band. black midi does have the compilation The Black Midi Anthology Vol. 1: Tales of Suspense and Revenge, which I have not heard, but I would not have expected that here. Maybe a black bands and artists would be in order. Rebecca Black for the "lose".

You're right of course. In my eagerness the album bit passed me by Geek

I would have put the Black Album in parentheses as the albums org title is Metallica. Just to be nitpick.

Anyway, out of all these, I have to go with Black Sabbath's debut. Such a landmark record for metal, and still holds up extremely well in the songwriting department to boot

Won't you take me down, to the underground
Why oh why, there is no light

True, but I can't think of anyone who just calls it "Metallica" anymore LOL Same with Weezer's "blue album" debut

The short lived and much missed Astra deserve a vote.
