I've just had a really shit day and on the way home just listened to the wonderful sexy voice of dear George (who just hasn't yet met the right woman).
Meatloaf, Bat out of Hell, may be brilliant, depending on the mood.
Marvin Gaye? Ok, sometimes. Ravels 'Bolero' is just for a long comfortable screw, and you need to have seen the film. But 'Faith' is just like a Martini, anytime anyplace. So what's the ONE best album in the world and why?
None IMO there isnt one lol , but i like a really wide mix of music which would never be on one album all at the same time unless it was one i had made myself biggrin sad :lol:
Linkin Park.. Hybrid Theory... Just brings back memories... some good, some bad!
If memory serves me the best album i've ever listened too is 'Dark side of te moon' it blew me away! Mind you i was fairly blown away when i put it on : :high-smile:
It would have to be Genesis - Selling England by the Pound as it was the first rock album I ever bought when it came out in 1973 and the solos in "Firth of Fifth" never fail to wow me.
I suppose the same also goes for Pink Floyd's The Wall and "Comfortably Numb".

Faith was definately a "here and now" album for me ... Can`t say I was particularly into it at the time but I still think you had to be around to really appreciate it lol
But !! best album ?? Bugger confused I don`t know !!
I`ll have to think about it .
10cc , The Who , Sade , Led Zepellin OMG there`s so many
What about
Duran Duran .....Rio ??
What about Duran Duran? Exactly!!!!!!!!!!!! And oh yes I was around for Faith. I want your sex, And again, and again and again.
bolt
Ooooh, I'm off out for a bit but I am sooooooooo coming back to this thread!!
....starts metally sorting through all her Prince albums!! lol
no flower, no no no no no!
Nothing ever recorded by Duran Duran can ever in a million years be classed as any good! Honestly!!!!! Trust me on this one please.
Bloody fantastic live though! My knickers would have been thrown at the stage if I was close enough.
faith is the second cure album ( better than the george michael ) album
The best album ever made has to be Never Mind the Bollocks heres the Sex Pistols.
They only made this one album and it has been the most influential album in the last 30 years.
top that if you can blast
PINK FLOYD
WISH YOU WERE HERE
for me thats everything but as has been said Dark Side of the Moon has been said to be the best album, it's No. 2 in my book cool

Personally, my mood always lifts when listening to this.
Infact, I am off to see him in concert again next week and even though his voice is not as strong as it was 30+ years ago, he still does a fantastic live version of Bat Out of Hell.
Im getting excited now just thinking about it lol

Am off to see him too! Blickling (Norfolk), live he's just awesome, saw him two years ago and if he's half as good now as then I'll be thrilled. Love all his albums too. Just not as good as Faith! Sorry, you're wrong :lol:

not a bad choice, just the wrong one! lol
damn, forgot transformer! Close but no cigar.
Very close.
Bugger, and now that's reminded me of Songs of Leonard Cohen. What a stupid thread this was. lol
She's wrong. Mr Jamey this time, and it's a first for me.
George Michael may be ok and he was good live but Moody Blues and 'A question of balance' is as close to perfect as possible. Closely followed by Queen and 'night at the opera'. Or anything by Blondie, or is that me being influenced by a woman built like a godess with the voice of an angel?
And having read another thread, regarding married men, I'd just like to say that the likelyhood of the other half cooking anything that isn't using the ping method is slim to non-existant! Does she know that this house has a kitchen?
Surely everyone knows that the best album ever is Junkyard by The Birthday Party ?
Great thread!
Okay... having thought long and hard I am voting Sign O' The Times by Prince.
Double album, real mix of styles in there and some amazingly beautiful tracks both musically and lyrically.
Of course I was tempted to say the greatest hits compilation The Hits/The B Sides, which is a triple album of sheer bloomin genius, but I figured a greatest hits compilation was cheating a tad!!
Oh... and just to show that I do have other CDs in my collection (to explain jameybruce, I am a tad obsessed with Prince!!) then I was actually tempted to say Talking Book by the legend that is Stevie Wonder. Great album.
But no, am staying true to form (and avatar!) and going with Sign O' The Times. Every music collection should have one!
Ooooh, I love this thread! I love learning about other people's taste in music.
Nola x
Taling book? Wrong! Sorry, but even Innervision is a better Stevie Wonder album (ok, that's just an opinion so I may be wrong but it's unlikely). :cheers:
Look, I made a statement of fact on this. It is the best. Ever. And will always be so. I should have made it clear that I wondered 'what's second best?' Ok?
Must go shopping though, there's some interesting views coming up. lol

Yeah... Innervisions is good too!
Fleetwood Mac, rumours. Hundreds of weeks in the charts and millions of people cant all be wrong.
Harry says either Take that or Pink Floyd, Dark Side of the Moon....
I think he's having me on! cool
with Band on the Run a close runner up....oh and Thriller. ( OK, stop now Harry! )
For me....I'll never forget Rio, or Bat out of Hell for particular points in my yoof.
But all time favourite is Paul Simon, Graceland, thats been on every MP3, ipod or compilation I've ever had.

Just takes me back to being 18 years old in 1995.
Going out with a 26 year old Woman (my first serious Girlfriend), dancing to tracks off this album at many House Parties & in Nightclubs in Liverpool.
Then going to Notting Hill Carnival & being wittness to Brooklyn Zoo being played
4 Times in a Row at the Rampage Soundsystem.
The beats are prime classic Wu-Tang, Producation especailly from The Rza is amazing & the language is both Sexually Dirty along with very funny YET always grime street.
Good rhymes from fellow Wu-Tang Clan Members guesting on certain tracks.
Real New York Hip-Hop at its best.
A must buy for your Grandmother at Christmas.

Wunderhorse.

Led Zeppelin 1V. It also just happened to have the all time greatest track on it.....Stairway to Heaven.
If you check the album sales on the net you will find it is one of the biggest selling albums ever.

Only made 1 album??? What about The Great rock n roll swindle?
Good choice though :thumbup:
I find Joy Division's Closer or Unknown Pleasures hits the spot or Radioheads OK Computer...........d'oh that's 3!!

Shouldn't he be shot for suggesting band on the run?
I'd forgotten about Graceland, then 'Bridge over trouble water' came to mind and I wondered what else was in the collection so I sat and spent a wonderful afternoon looking through loads of old vinyl albums! Oh wonderful memories.........
Does anyone remember 'Curved Air'? Parental influence there, but it's an album I loved one time.

Oh now there's some selections.
Now that it's all gone ipods it's hard to remember a whole album that I've repeatedly listened to start to finish. I've never listened to a Cure album, or a Joy Division album or a Prince album, even though I really love their music... I'll have to work on that.
After some thinking:
Venetian Snares rossz csillag alatt született this is the one drum and bass record I'd recommend to anyone, to prove that electronic music can be sensitive and artful as well as hard and fast (and at the same time too). It's technically brilliant, really varied (at times closer to classical or jazz textures, and at times the hardest drum and bass you've ever heard) and really beautiful.
Mogwai Young Team A real journey of a record. If you haven't heard them they kind of cross the spirits of the Sex Pistols and Pink Floyd, with heavy flavourings of Nirvana and maybe a bit of Radiohead chucked in. And they're Scottish.
Susumu Yokota The Boy and the Tree slow, graceful, elegant, beautiful ambient electronic music.
Arvo Part Da Pacem slow, graceful, elegant, beautiful ambient classical music.
Sergey Prokofiev Romeo and Juliet My favourite ballet (musically speaking).
The Arcade Fire I know people usually say the first record is better, but I really like them both.

Er I'll stop now. Oh no one more!
Simon Reynolds (ed.) Energy Flash: A Journey Through Rave Music and Dance Culture This is a CD that came with a book; it's proper old-skool rave from the late 80s-early 90s. Perhaps surprisingly, it's really good for fucking to.
okay... I am going to turn into music snob now....smile
can I have a couple......And I can't believe anyone hasn't said either....
The Beatles...Sgt Peppers or Revolver
Oasis....Whats the story morning glory.....
REM ....Automatic for the people
Radiohead's OK computer is a good shout though....
sorry Fabio you can only have one choice. So which would it be?
I'm too young (just) for the beatles and however wonderful they were (and I do have 'Let it Be' and 'Sgt Peppers' and both compilation red and blue doubles) they just can't compete with the best in the world ever!
Did have gershwin on this morning whilst working though, Rhapsody in Blue, and for chilling music it's a bit special. Goes down well with g&t in the sunshine!
