    1. @christina I just discovered Tomorrow Never Knows thanks to a Med Men ep that paid a fortune to use the track. Then I realized one of my fav OH ANOTHER ALL TIME FAV ALBUM CHEMICAL BROTHERS DIG YOUR OWN HOLE!!!! They sampled TNK on Setting Sun with Noel Gallagher. The drum line just makes me melt into my chair and start dreaming

  22. U know what's sad? I think most of us know music back to at least the 1970's up to now and most of our answers are going to be pre 2000 bc full length quality albums are getting rarer thanks to iTunes. I'm curious what the best pop album is bc that genre is definitely single based (and I do love it)

  23. The Stand Ins by Okkervil River

  26. Katsm0711 I love pop music too and if I were to name one song as my favorite, I couldn't because, like movies, they change. But if you say name a full length album that's good beginning to end, that's easier to narrow down because there aren't many albums that don't have songs you'd rather skip.

    ReplyDelete
  27. I have SEVERAL, and these won't cover them all but here we go

    The Cure -Disintegration
    -Bloodflowers

    It's beautiful. I remember listening to that in my dad's car when I was little. That album covers every emotion and truly is the soundtrack of my life. I even got married walking down the beach to Here, There, and Everywhere.

    BTW - favorite song? Born to Run - the Boss.

    ; )

    ReplyDelete
  32. @firebugDVM - YES! The Dazed & Confused soundtracks are the BEST. I bought volumes one and two when I was 16, and have nearly worn them out.

    My all-time greatest albums:

    Miles Davis - Milestones
    Creedence Clearwater Revival - Chronicle, Vol. 1

    ReplyDelete

    - "The Dance" by Fleetwood Mac
    - "Flood" and "Apollo 18" by They Might Be Giants

    1. Live Through This makes me sad about Courtney Love's entire life since then. Such an incredible album, such a wasted talent.

      Delete
  36. I also LOVE Van Morrison...at least his old material. I could listen to Astral Weeks, Tupelo Honey and Moondance endlessly.

  47. Idotherobot, you stole mine! Weezer Pinkerton, the Foos, the Beasties Ill Communication and Coldplay Parachutes. You guys all have great taste!

  48. My favorite album, the album that is good from start to finish, that people still ask about and want when I play it is...The Stone Roses' debut. If you've never listened to it, do it NOW. From the gritty opening to the final chord, perfect. Ages well. I was so upset that by the time I found them, they had already imploded.

    ReplyDelete
  49. good thread! i generally don't have favorites of anything 'cause i like different criteria blah, blah, blah...however, fleetwood mac rumors is an awesome album and i don't take the needle off the vinyl when listening and flip it when one side is played. other favorites that i don't pick and choose, just let it play:
    ray charles, otis redding, dusty springfield, pearl jam, hammerbox, j roddy walston and the business, david bowie, pixies, the offspring, adele, pistol annies and dixie chicks
    i'm a gemini, so i have focus issues

  52. Good question. Personal favorite of all time:

    Disintegration - The Cure

    Honorable mention:

    The Ramones - The Ramones
    Let it Bleed - Rolling Stones
    Nevermind - Nirvana
    After the Gold Rucs - Neil Young
    Room Noises - Eisley

    Some bands I wish I could include in the best one album list but you need their greatest hits collections to have a really great album. Acts like that:

    David Bowie
    New Order

    ReplyDelete

    Led Zeppelin, 'Led Zeppelin IV'

  68. Ditto on the Fleetwood Mac, Stone Roses and Bruce Springsteen.

    I'd like to add; Suede - Dog Man Star, The Smiths - Strangeways here we Come, The Band - The Band and Counting Crows - Recovering the Satellites.

    No way can I limit my choice to just 1 album. I have to be in a particular mood to listen to some music.

    ReplyDelete
  69. I always love when someone says "name 1", and people say they can't. Of course you can, you just choose not to.

    Stevie Wonder's "Songs In The Key Of Life".

    ReplyDelete
  70. I never get tired of Back to Black. Every song is amazing. I think there are other albums that are more culturally significant (Thriller for one), but this is my personal favorite.

    ReplyDelete
  71. Parissucks...Isn't it! I am on my 3rd copy. "Anna Begins" is one of my absolute favorites and "Long December" too.

  75. I agree with Cory about Hotel California by the Eagles, but more contemporary cds that I listen to the whole thing over and over and never skip a tract :
    Adele both 19 and 21,
    Fall Out Boy's Folie a Deux,
    Panic at the Disco (any and all of albums),
    Mumford and Sons Sigh No More,
    Dixie Chicks, (any and all albums)

    Radiohead - In Rainbows

    ReplyDelete
  77. Depeche Mode - Songs of Faith and Devotion. Hands down THE BEST. Mmmmmm......

  80. @Lauren - much respect on the 40 oz. choice. It's in my top 5, for sure. What you said about it - that you've been able to listen to it at every stage of your life without tiring of it - same here. LOVE Bradley's voice, and his spirit. I can't even attempt to listen to the new stuff because the thought of someone else singing his songs, trying to sound like him, just hurts my heart. I still have my copy of Rolling Stone that featured his memorial, and a big long article about him. And now I'm tearing up.....

    ReplyDelete
  81. okay, i'm going to plug j roddy walston and the business(self titled album) because they are a small band and i'm sure they are not known to many. they are a fun bluesy/rockin'/bar kinda band, so if you are into that please sample on whatever you generally use to sample. full grown man makes me feel like sexy times with mr. eggs.

    also, i forgot zz top, fandango from 'also favorites'

    ReplyDelete
  82. Oh dear. I can't pick just one, it constantly changes. A few faves:

    Marillion: Season's End, Afraid of Sunlight and Brave

    Michael Jackson: Dangerous and Invincible

    Icehouse: Man of Colours

    Herbert Groenemeyer: Live

    Dave Matthews & Tim Reynolds: Live at Radio City (and especially 'Crush').

    Golden Earring: all of them

    Radiohead: the bends and pablo honey
    and that's just a few...

    ReplyDelete
  83. Growing up: Bryan Adams, Reckless.

    License to Ill by the Beastie Boys. Billy Joel's greatest hits.

    College: Probably Alanis Morisette, Jagged Little Pill or Hootie & the Blowfish Cracked Rear View or Fairweather Johnson. Cowboy Mouth or Better than Ezra since I went to college in New Orleans.

    Since I've gotten into country: Zac Brown Band (all the albums), Bomshel, Band Perry, Jason Aldean, Darius Rucker, Sugarland...I'm sure there are more.

    ReplyDelete
  94. Wow! This is a tough one. I think my all time fav is Pink Floyd - The Wall.

    ReplyDelete
  95. I think a soundtrack shouldn't count. Picking just one is hard, so probably The Dark Side of the Moon or 10,000 Maniacs Unplugged.

    It is hard to say just one but I like all of the songs on those two.

    ReplyDelete
  96. Three-way tie:

    Journey - "Escape"
    Def Leppard - "Pyromania"
    Def Leppard - "Hysteria"

  99. Two more that are in my head demanding to be added - The Alan Parsons Project - The Turn of a Friendly Card, Feargal Sharkey - Songs From The Mardi Gras.

  100. Needed to add a few more:

    Any Sublime album (RIP Bradley)
    Beatles- Magical Mystery Tour
    Floyd- Animals
    Ani DiFranco- Living in Clip
    Bob Dylan- Blood on the tracks (or the album with idiot wind, I don't remember!)

    ReplyDelete
  101. Seconding Songs in the Key of Life. I am completely indecisive about my favorites whenever I'm asked to choose ("my favorite character? NO LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT MY TOP TWENTY FAVES OKAY?") but I am 100 percent sure about that one.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Really, there are genuinely fantastic pieces of music. But nothing before, and nothing since, works so well as a whole than "Songs...". I'm so grateful to have been a fan of soul music (even if it was as a young teenager) when Stevie hit his creative peak.

      Delete
  102. Any collection of Louis Armstrong's Hot Five and Hot Seven tracks from the late twenties. Of course they weren't originally recorded as an album, but to me if Louis Armstrong hadn't been born we would have had to invent him that's how important he was. Any time I hear tracks like "Struttin' with Some Barbecue" or "West End Blues" the world instantly becomes a better place.

    Pops is tops.

    ReplyDelete
  103. TOM PETTY!!!!! I loved pretty much everything up through Highway Companion. Their Playback boxset is amazing. Echo is fantastic.

    Best albums?

    Brandi Carlile - The Story (LOVE her!!!)

    Sarah MacLachlan - Surfacing and Fumbling Towards Ecstacy
    Hole - Live Through This and Celebrity Skin
    Stevie Nicks - Timespace
    The Smiths - Louder Than Bombs
    John Mellencamp - The Best That I Could Do
    Songcatcher - Official Soundtrack
    O Brother Where Art Thou - Official Soundtrack

    Warren Zevon - everything
    Queen - everything
    10,000 Maniacs - everything with Natalie Merchant

  105. Love these! @Parissucks-- yay for Elvis! My favorite is Blood and Chocolate by him, though.

    Totally agree with Sublime and weezer.

    Ok that is more than one.

    ReplyDelete
  119. Bob Dylan - Blonde On Blonde.

    ReplyDelete
  120. U2's The Joshua Tree. I ran the equivalent of about 40 marathons to that album. Gave me a lot of optimistic hope while growing up in the late 80s.

    Lots of other picks on here which I like - Beatles, G.Love, Radiohead, Soundgarden etc., etc. Whoever put Savane on their list is awesome. Ali Farka's stuff is wicked tricky - check out Niafunke, if/when you've a chance.

  133. My all-time favorite, that I've owned & loved for well over 30 years, would have to be Joni Mitchell's Court and Spark; it's one of those albums you can love as a teenager, and then enjoy on deeper & deeper levels as you get older. If you've ever been in love, or thought you were, or knew people who were, or...really, if you've been involved in any kind of human relationships over the years, this one's a keeper.

    #2: Bob Mould's Workbook; saying it's a near-perfect rendering of picking up the pieces after one's life and career have both imploded doesn't really do it justice, but it's one way to describe it.

    #3: I'm not sure if EPs/mini-albums count, but assuming they do, it's NIN's Broken; the one good thing former TVT Records head Steve Gottlieb ever did in his life was piss Trent Reznor off enough that the latter made this album. (Don't forget to keep the CD running after "Gave Up" ends, or you'll miss "Physical" (an old Adam Ant cover) and "Suck"; listen carefully to the former's intro and you'll hear Trent hissing "Eat your heart out, Steve..." ;-) (It also has the advantage of being short enough that there's no filler on it; as a hardcore NINnie, it pains me to say this, but there's at least 1 song on every other NIN album that I could REALLY do without. Sorry, Trent...)
