What is your favorite album of all time?

I bought Weezer's Blue Album about a month ago and have listemed to it at least 20 times all the way through. Every day I have a new favorite song off that album. They are beautifully written and preformed with just as much finese. So what are some of you guys favorite albums?

Led Zepplin 4, Pink Floyd - The Dark Side of the moon, The Who- Who's next, The Who -Tommy, Pearl Jam - Ten, Soundgarden - Superunknown,Metallica- Master of Puppets.
--Ranjan

Don't think I can pick just one, but here are some of my favorites:

The Clash - London Calling
The Cure - Disintegration
Metallica - And Justice For All
Nirvana - Nevermind
Sex Pistols - Never Mind the Bollocks

What a great post!! But a difficult decision. Having put 7,000+ songs on my iPod, it would be nearly impossible to pick out 1 favorite album. Anything I can listen to from start to finish, without skipping ANY tracks, and even repeating a few during playback constitutes a great album, or favorite album:

Pink Floyd-Dark Side of the Moon, Echoes
Soundgarden-Superunknown
Depeche Mode-Violator
Redman-Whut? Thee Album
Interpol-Turn On the Bright Lights, Antics
Nirvana-Nevermind, Incesticide
Stone Temple Pilots-Purple
Lost Highway soundtrack
U2-The Joshua Tree, Achtung Baby
Radiohead-OK Computer
Alice In Chains-Dirt
Deftones-Around the Fur

and anything Nine Inch Nails

Damn, I could go on!! I feel bad leaving some out, but these are the top in my opinion, mainly because I have some fond memory glued to some of them or something sappy like that. 8)

Biohazard-Urban Discipline
Sepultura-Chaos AD
Black Sabbath-Master of Reality
Pantera-(pretty much any album)

...These are just some of many.

Men at Work/Colin Hay, Boston, ELO, Pink Floyd, Bob Seger, James Taylor, Vibrochamps, Moody Blues, Dire Straights, Culture Club, Allmon Brothers, Steely Dan, Ronnie Milsap, Vince Gauraldi Trio, Cusco.

I see Amazon has it for 100 bucks if u r willing to pay that much, i guess it has been out of print for a couple of years, there are a bunch on e bay also now that i just checked.

Yes i do have Salival from Tool Italy 12 and I got it when it first came out at Tower Records but I haven't seen it there in over 6 months, the treat on it is No Quarter which I enjoy more then Zeppelins version. Maybe try E Bay? i don't know sorry i cant be more help.

Frank Sinatra - It Might as well be Swing - From Mr. S to the whole Basie band this is a true classic. I see alot of hard rock on this list and I dig on all music but nothing is better than sitting on a balcony starring at the Skyline, drinking and listing to some Frank Sinatra. PEace

There are many answers I could give... but just going with one (possibly at random) I'd go with:

Beautiful Freak by the Eels.

Beatles: Abby Road, Revolver, the White Album (#9 . . . #9 . . . #9) and Rubber Soul.

Pink Floyd: The Wall, Animals, and Dark Side of the Moon.

AC/DC: Highway to Hell and Back in Black.

Van Halen: First Album, Mean Street, Balance.

Rush: A Farewell to Kings, Hemispheres, 2112, Roll the Bones, and Test for Echo.

Counting Crows: All 4 albums are great plus they write some of the best heartfelt ballads I've heard in years.

Jimmy Hendrix: Any album of his works for me!

Queensryche: Operation Mind Crime (have this one live on DVD, as well), and Promised Land.

Led Zepplin: 1, 2, and Houses of the Holy (if you really want to hear their best stuff, just buy the 4 CD box set).

The Eagles: Hotel California, and the Long Run.

Aerosmith: Toys in the Attic, Rocks, Permanent Vacation, and Nine Lives.

Eric Clapton: The Unplugged CD.

Dwight Yoakam: Guitars and Cadillac’s.

Radiohead: The Bends, OK Computer, and Amnesiac.



I’m sure I could name off some more; however, this is all I can think of right now off the top of my head.
