Living Colour 'Time's Up', but only by a narrow margin on the rest of their albums. Definitely a showcase of their range.

The Quietus | Features | Baker's Dozen | All The Glitter: Ira Kaplan Of Yo La Tengo's Favourite Albums Baker's Dozen All The Glitter: Ira Kaplan Of Yo La Tengo's Favourite Albums Yo La Tengo’s frontman leads April Clare Welsh through a selection of his most played LPs Television – Adventure I think that as great as Marquee Moon is, I love Adventure just as much. There's that truism, that cliché, that you have your whole life to create your first record and a year to create your second one and Marquee Moon has obviously got that sort of perfect quality to it like they'd been planning it for ages. You hear it in their demos, working towards how great 'Venus' is going to be and how great 'Marquee Moon' is going to be; they had so many amazing songs in that period. You look at the cover of Marquee Moon and 'you're like, where's 'O Mi Amore', where's 'Adventure'?' and it comes to their second album and they still don't have these songs. All these great songs that they had in their repertoire aren't even on their second record. Marquee Moon is perfect but I don't think perfection is necessarily the be all and end all. There's something so beautiful and so human about Adventure. I do think the fact that it's not considered as good definitely made me gravitate towards it but I just love every song on that record as much as anything on Marquee Moon. « Previous | 1 | 2 | ... | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | Next »
fond memories of being 12 and this album was released, and a friend's older brother was trying to destroy the family stereo system playing D.O.A. a song, which cannot possibly be played too loud
Carly Simon - Anticipation I bought most of the later albums, but I never really liked any of them. I preferred the early albums, before success took over. +1 on Weird Al.

Same here. I guess "Bleach" and "In Utero" are just not poppy enough for many of the people that got on hoard with "Nevermind". If the question had been "their most important album" things would have looked different though. 2nd Album as "best"? Thought about it and came up with several 2nd albums that are as good as or even a notch above the debut but mostly from artists who have more great albums in their catalogue. Maybe "The Colour & The Shape" by one of your favourite bands. It also has a Nirvana connection.
I actually liked the second Foo album back in the day, at least half of it. As well as half of the debut.
Nice-o’s The Marble Index. I also agree with those who said: Hatfield & The North’s The Rotter’s Club Wire Chairs Missing and probably i’d say: Egg The Polite Force just edges their 1st
a technicality, but 'deja vu' might be a tad better than the couch album, even if it is only 1/2 CSN and 1/2 CSNY
Good one. Just discovered this band: their musical coordinate points hit a lot of my buttons--Roxy Music, Simple Minds, Bowie. Primitive Man and Man of Colours are my favorite, in that order.
