What's your all time favourite album ?

Post by weeksy »

Or CD or Podthingy, Spotifything...

Basically... a selection of tracks :D

For me i'll be a bit of a heathen and throw in a compilation of 1 by the Beatles. Mostly because of the memories it brings and the happy sing-along tunes

For a 2nd place, What's the Story morning glory by Oasis.

^^awesome album.
Too many to mention for me including a lot of anarcho punk that a lot of you probably haven't heard of, but I'll give you rum sodomy and the lash by the Pogues.

I much prefer The Colour & The Shape and Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace. I've seen 'em live a few times, but I've not bothered listening to the last few albums much.

Regarding the OP though, this is the first one which springs to mind but it's impossible to say which is my fave really. Same for everyone.

Blood on the Tracks - Bob Dylan

And since we're doing runner up:
Graceland - Paul Simon


I'm surprised nobody's mentioned Now That's What I Call Music. ;)

I have one playlist on Spotify. Instead of the number of tracks, it just states 'over 24 hours' :D

One album, though?

'In the Region of the Summer Stars', The Enid

A couple already mentioned - Stone Roses and Dylan's 'Blood on the Tracks'. Oh, and 'Blue '.

I'll chuck a couple of Laurie Anderson albums on the pile, definitely 'Strange Angels' and probably (a bit more funky 'cos Nile Rogers was involved) 'Home of the Brave'. Oh and 'Closing Time' by Tom Waits. 'Care' by Shriekback too.

Probably a few others. I'll have a think.

Recently I have been listening to The Commoners a lot, Find a Better Way is the album.

For a bunch of Canadians they play some excellent southern rock

But there are two albums that I keep going back to on a fairly regular basis

Hawkwind: Hall of the Mountain Grill

Pink Floyd: Meddle

Personal favourites change like the wind and I'd be hard pushed to pick one as an all time winner.

Green River by CCR would be up there,seems like it's been the ever-present soundtrack of my life.

Pick Peace by Guthrie Trapp is another contender for different reasons. Sweet Tele tones.

One Album is difficult, most played whole album is Green Day American Idiot. If I could have an album of one artist I’d pick Chris Cornell and have no problem filling it with tracks from several of his bands or solo stuff. Second complete album could be Arctic Monkeys, whatever people say I am,that’s what I’m not. I listen to loads of different music so one album would never work 👍

What is it with American Idiot?

The best Greenday album is Dookie... followed by Insomniac.

Which on a semi-related note has reminded me what a cracking album Offsprings 'Smash' is.

Just like motorcycles, music from the 1990's is the best.

Every time I listen to American Idiot I think the same thing.

"Why the fuck is this amazing drummer in a pop punk band?!"
