OT: YOUR favorite album of all time...

[GoodOl'Rutgers]

There is an active thread on this board about the best albums where all songs are good... if you look that over for reminders/suggestions what I am asking for is YOUR VOTE of which is the best album TO YOU.. not what other people or experts think... just one album... and I hope, if this is active.. to compile a list and see what albums got the most mentions...

Of course choosing one might be very hard... but when I went down that other thread and saw London Calling.. it spoke to me. I loved that album. That is my "vote".

EDIT: I can see people are hedging.. pick ONE please...

 

[RUScrew85]

I might go with Joshua Tree based on the time it came out, my age at the time and the music.

 

[hankee18]

Frank Black by Frank Black. The lead singer of the Pixies. Most if his stuff is really good but this album is a classic. I could have listed this one in the other thread as well. First heard it during a great time in my life and I like every song

 

[Beancounter88]

Tough call - down to 2
Exit Stage Left

Aja by Steely Dan

 

[bethlehemfan]

I would probably lean toward whos next for sentimental reasons plus it’s an amazing album.

 

[RUGuitarMan]

That’s a very tough question. Depends on the day and my mood. Today, I will mention 3 favs. ”Eat A Peach” Allman Bros. Band, ”Aja” Steely Dan, “Texas Flood”. Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble.

Definitely this one

 

[RUevolution36]

Purple Rain - Prince
Magnolia Soundtrack - A. Mann
Erotica - Madonna

The only albums where I liked ALL songs.

would you say an album where you liked all songs is better than an album where you absolutely loved most of the songs, but a couple were meh?

 

[BROTHERSKINNY]

Revolver

There are some of those but these three...I never skip any song. (Back in the day when you would pop in a CD)

 

[RutgersMO]

Rubber Soul.

Something/Anything Todd Rundgren:




MO
Just found a Todd song I never heard/ really love:
Something to Fall Back On (Harmonies are Outstanding)

 

[phlop87]

Van Halen II is my favorite album

 

[MulletCork]

The Killers — Sam’s Town

The right album at the right time by my favorite band. Saw them in their hometown of Vegas and many other stops. One of my first dates with the woman who became my wife.

 

[RU848789]

Very hard question, since I had about 30 albums in the other thread, lol. If I truly had to pick one album to be stuck with on a desert island, it would probably be Revolver, by the Beatles (and I'm not even sure it's my favorite Beatles album, lol). I just have to list my next 5, though, which would probably include Nirvana's "Nevermind," Neil Young's "Live Rust," Bowie's "Ziggy Stardust," the English Beat's "Just Can't Stop It" and Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon."

Youngster. Back in the day, I would put the album on the turntable - where it was a lot harder to skip a song, lol. Album covers also made it easy to clean one's weed from seeds. An interesting thread might be favorite album cover - might have to be Sergeant Pepper.

 

[TM94goRU]

Just like the every song is good thread, this is tough, I think it is tougher. My pick is Van Halen 1. Honorable mentions Guns N Roses- Appetite for Destruction, Def Leppard- High-N- Dry, Van Halen - For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge, Matchbox 20- Yourself or Someone like you, Alice in Chains- Dirt.

Gotta say, Matchbox 20 really sticks out like the sentence that doesn't belong 😀

Not a criticism, but I felt like I was getting a feel for your style, then ...huh?

 

[Bababooey_Class'80]

King's X - Out of the Silent Planet.

 

[BigLou]

London Calling and Born to Run

Album cover? King Crimson - "Court of the Crimson King" , easily.

I could have added many more. While my favorite music is hard rock, I do listen to a bit of everything. I go from classical to metal, alternative to country. 😆
