Your all time favourite Album

[Maritime Q-Scout]

Excellent question.

The best album I own (I don't have a huge collection) top to bottom is probably Ashtray Rock by Joel Plaskett.

But to narrow down a favourite? I dunno.

[rubecube]

#### balls. Good question

Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers - Long After Dark
Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band - Darkness on the Edge of Town
The Beatles - Abbey Road
Bob Dylan - Blood on the Dracks
Wilco - Yankee Hotel Foxtrot
Beastie Boys - Ill Communication
Modest Mouse - Good New for People Who Love Bad News
Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon, The Wall, Wish You Were Here
Led Zeppelin - Houses of the Holy
The Who - Quadrophenia
Pearl Jam - Ten
The White Stripes - Get Behind Me Satan
Rolling Stones - Goats Head Soup

Yeah, picking one is hard.

[Shnabdabber]

Miles Davis - Bitches Brew



Cynic - Focus



Devin Townsend - Ocean Machine



King Crimson - Discipline



Ministry - The Last Sucker



Forgetting many, but these would all be at the top.

[Mass_nerder]

The Replacements - Let It Be

But the Marked Men - Fix My Brain

and The Gateway District - Some Days You Get The Thunder

Are very close second and third

[djsFlames]

Until I was about 20 it was



Since then, I probably can't even narrow down to one.

[Wormius]

Top 3 for me for listenability of the entire album:

#1 Rumors - Fleetwood Mac
#2 Nevermind - Nirvana
#3 American Idiot - Green Day

[undercoverbrother]

Mainly because I got dragged to their concert at The Republik, and ended up dancing all concert with the women that is now my wife.

[SHOGUN]

The only album I never get sick of.

[Rhettzky]

This album cover blew my mind when I was really young. Definitely my favorite live album.

Now and Zen: The Greatest Album of Them All Turns 30

http://www.askthepilot.com/zen-arcade-turns-30/

The seven opening cuts alone are worthy of any landmark LP. But there are sixteen more to go. This is the ultimate workhorse album from the ultimate workhorse band, one so rich with sonic nooks and crannies that an in-depth listen leaves you not only battling tinnitus, but tired. So many changes from fast to slow, hard to soft, love to hate, all in perfect working sequence. Each side-break is a perfectly placed respite. Even more than, say, the Clash’s Sandinista!, Zen Arcade sets the mark for the most brilliantly arranged opus of them all.

This is the album Nirvana and Pearl Jam only wish they could have made: intelligent, clamorous, and hashing out more torment and passion in four sides than all the grungers and headbangers since. All without a hint of heavy metal pretension.

Zen Arcade and New Day Rising are the two best albums of the 1980s, and they appeared within six months of each other! Bookended by Flip Your Wig and Metal Circus, a brilliant seven-song EP from 1983, these four records represent, easily, the most potent 1-2-3-4 punch in the annals of indie music. All in the astonishing space of less than two years. That’s simply incredible.
