Greatest Ever Album!!

[katinthehat]

Ok - remember the days when you bought an album, listened to it from start to finish, played it so much you had to fill in the gaps with black crayon, and admired the artwork for months??
The concept albums that told their story.........the immediately obvious single tracks that were consequently released as such, and you still bought them.....

Now - what would you list as your all time favourite albums?

A few on my list..... each was special at the time and still holds a place in my affections........

G&R - Appetite For Destruction
Pink Floyd - The Wall
Jeff Wayne - War of the Worlds
The Jam - Setting Sons
and, of course - life changing album - Thunder - Backstreet Symphony

and I am sure more will come to mind as time goes on.......DT_Xtremez_35:

 

[3Chordwonder]

Elvis Costello - This Years Model
Radiohead - The Bends
Rage Against The Machine - RATM
Lloyd Cole - Rattlesnakes
Cypress Hill - Black Sunday
The Clash - London Calling
Alkaline Trio - From Here To Infirmary
Greenday - American Idiot
Talking Heads - The Name Of This Band Is.....
Nick Cave - And No More Shall We Part

 

[TheHogwartsBEngO]

Not quite a seminal classic, but I think it will stand the test of time...

The Killers: Hut Fuss.

still play it over and over - which says a lot considering how many modern albums I buy.

And I think 'Whatever People Say i am, That's what I'm Not' by the Arctic Monkeys is in a similar league.

Kimono My House - Sparks
The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars - David Bowie

[TrenchardsLoveSock]

The most played SONG on my ipod is definately "No Leaf Clover" on the S&M album

Fantastic tune. It's just a shame the change musical direction before writing more like it.

The S&M version of Nothing Else Matters is about as good as it gets too.

I wish they'd record it in the studio and put it onto a future album. I read that the riff was originally dreamed up by Hetfield and Cliff Burton years ago, but they were never happy about writing the song until it was recorded live.

 

[Biggsoir]

Best albums ever, eh?

Beck - Odelay
The White Stripes - De Stijl
Pulp - Different Class
Queen - A Night at the Opera
Arcade Fire - Funeral
The Strokes - Is This it?
