Your favorite album?

[Captain_Kuchiki]

There's a number of "what's your favorite?" threads here, I know, but I thought I'd fire up one of my own. So... what 's your favorite musical album of all?

My favorite album is [WITH_TEETH] by Nine Inch Nails; I like everything about it. It's by my favorite artist, the album art is simple but effective, and the songs are excellent examples of industrial/electronic rock, like the singles "Only", "The Hand That Feeds", and "Every Day is Exactly the Same."

01 All the Love in the World

That's a pretty long album! The longest album I've heard of had 100 songs in it, though I forgot the title >.>

Trompe Le Monde - The Pixies.

It has taken me more than 15 years to appreciate this album. A friend of mine gave me the cassette tape when I was in high school. I couldn't get into it, because upon first listen, it's a bunch of grating noise. Tromple Le Monde is not the best way to get started on the Pixies. Then I revisited the album my first year of college and I could deal with Head On and Bird Dream of the Olympus Mons and Subbaculture to an extent but I could never give the album a full listen. Now I'm 32 and I pulled Trompe Le Monde out of the archives and for the first time I can say that this is album is great from the first track to the last. But for anyone who is just getting started on the Pixies, I would recommend Bassanova and Doolittle and Come On Pilgrim. Then give Trompe Le Monde a listen.

ooo... tough one.
Maybe Echoes, Silence, Patience, Grace- Foo Fighters. I've loved the foo fighters from the first time i heard Everlong. I think this album takes every essence of their other albums and combines it into what are by far some of their best songs ever.

I got several,
Abbey Road-Beatles
Bookends-Simon and Garfunkel
Tea for the Tillerman-Cat Stevens
These i could listen to all day long.

“Who’s Next” continues to be the first thought that enters my mind when this question is asked:



Gilliatt

The Wall

[DanielBenoit]

As far as rock goes:

The Dark Side of the Moon - Pink Floyd

Sgt. Pepper's Lonley Heart's Club Band - The Beatles

Untitled IV - Led Zeppelin

Wow. It's almost depressing to go through this and recognize a few artists at most.

As of right now, my favorite album would be "The Sound of Madness" by Shinedown.

[cgrillo]

My favorite album is probably Pet Sounds, by the Beach Boys. The thing is, my favorite band is The Smiths and I like a lot of their music, but since all I have is a compilation album, there isn't one album by them that I like the best.
Pet Sounds, on the other hand, doesn't have one song on it that I dislike.

The Golden Sea by Tennets.
