Buff124 Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 Good list by the way. The only things I'd change are taking Queen out (they bring me out in hives) and swapping Dont Stand me Down for Young Soul Rebels... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grumpyhack Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 OK, it's a compilation but deserves a special mention. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Rock_Machine_Turns_You_On The first budget priced compilation - I think it cost 19/6 (just under a pound in old money) and reflected the amazing roster then on the CBS label - Dylan, Simon & Garfunkel, Leonard Cohen and also introduced people to various other artists who weren't quite so well known. For single artist albums I'd go for Fairport Convention's What We Did on Our Holidays and Liege and Leaf for Sandi Denni's beautiful voice, Love's Forever Changes and pretty well anything by Van Morrison, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheSeventhOne Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 These are the ones that spring to mind initially, but I've no doubt missed some obvious belters: Prince – Purple Rain Sigur Rós – Ágætis Byrjun Black Sabbath – Black Sabbath Radiohead – In Rainbows Deftones – White Pony Talking Heads – Remain in Light Swans – Children of God Iron Maiden – Seventh Son of a Seventh Son Public Image Ltd. – Metal Box Killing Joke – Killing Joke Daft Punk – Discovery Stevie Wonder – Songs in the Key of Life Napalm Death – Scum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed209 Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 More in my top list that I don't think they've been mentioned so far Chemical Brothers - Dig your own hole The Prodigy - Experience QotSA - Songs for the deaf Jimi Hendrix = Electric Ladyland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobs Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 I know i'll get crucified for this, but.... Arctic Monkeys - Suck It And See Maximo Park - Our Earthly Pleasures Don't get me wrong, there must be a good 100+ songs i love more, but in terms of listening to an album, start to finish and thinking, 'i love every track', it's this.

danbailey80 Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 you're going to get the same concensus pretty much whatever list you look at. Not many wildcards in there. I reckon you'd be better off asking everyone on here to recommend one album to you. There's a prety broad mix of people here and tastes, reckon that'd be a good bet 1 album, and you can't name an album if someone else has already named it. Also preferably not a really obvious choice, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dingbat2 Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 Favourite albums are so subjective, its rarely about the quality of the music, it's about what music affected you at that time and since, and why it affected you, so I will go for Kraftwerk - autobahn (also my favourite song) Pleasure Principle - Gary Numan Zoolook - jean Michel Jarre Not great albums I suspect in many people's books, but it was my first memory of music in my youth and remind me of a great childhood. I was, and am a very lucky boy, bless my dad, I miss him loads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
