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. ------------- https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXcp9fYc6K4IKuxIZkenfvukL_Y8VBqzK" rel="nofollow - Duos for fave acts |

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)

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 |

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???

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". ------------- https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXcp9fYc6K4IKuxIZkenfvukL_Y8VBqzK" rel="nofollow - Duos for fave acts |

| Just so you know Metallica's "Black Album" is actually their eponymous album. |

True, but I can't think of anyone who just calls it "Metallica" anymore  Same with Weezer's "blue album" debut ------------- Take me down, to the underground Won't you take me down, to the underground Why oh why, there is no light And if I can't sleep, can you hold my life https://www.youtube.com/@CocoonMasterBrendan-wh3sd |

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 ------------- Take me down, to the underground Won't you take me down, to the underground Why oh why, there is no light And if I can't sleep, can you hold my life https://www.youtube.com/@CocoonMasterBrendan-wh3sd |

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

It could seem like albums with "black titles" are not exactly the kind which appeal much to me. ------------- quality over quantity, and all kind of PopcoRn almost beyond |

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

There are 25 "brown albums" coming up in the poll later on today, so let's hope you find at least one album there that you're fond of.

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