What is your favourite album of all times

No other Johnny Cash?!

 

In 1970 the first Classical LP I ever bought, unheard and based on a review in a stereo magazine (Stereo Review, I think). The sound was fantastic and the music was strange and drew me right in. Because it was Classical my parents offered to pay for it. When they heard it they regretted it, like I'd made a big mistake and wasted their $3.99. I still have the LP. Would make a great SACD, IMO.

 

It's between

Exile on Main St.
Blood on the Tracks
Hunky Dory

 

Allman Brothers - Fillmore East

Followed by:
DSOTM
Eat a Peach
Beck's Blow by Blow
Dire Straits Love Over Gold
Layla
Who's Next
Katy Lied

Bill

 

Gotta love the audaciousness of a pick that includes "Billy Don't Be A Hero"

 

It's usually an event when I listen to it. I can't necessarily say that for most of the other albums so it kind of falls in a unique place in my collection.

Plus I think it's awesome of course.

 

sorry I missed your Neil Young "On the Beach" excellent choice

 

Damn that's hard

 

Little Feat - Waiting on Columbus

 

Toss up between Ok Computer,Abbey Road (or Sgt. Pepper / Revolver) & New Gold Dream

 

When I think "all time favorite," I think of an album that's been cherished for years. The Beatles White Album has to be it. So many years on my list, so many nights as a kid falling asleep with this on the turntable.

 

Please describe that album in seven words.

 

Meddle?
American Beauty?
Blood on the Tracks?
What we Did on Our Holidays? (Fairport)

I'm not very good at this...

 

or

 

He should go into politics, stand for President!

 

Band On The Run, the first proper album I ever bought, which was the 1999 25 Anniversary Edition. Maybe not a deep, or statement type album, but the melodies, the vocals, the playing, and the sense of escape that flows through the album are just perfect. It was the album that started my love of music, I remember being 15 years old and driving around blasting the album out of my car, I have a lot of great memories associated with this album.

 

Blood On The Tracks

Interestingly, from what I understand, a favourite for me and Julia Roberts!

Good company, no?

 

I'd have to say Blonde on Blonde after 50 years (in a week or two) of listening to it.
And Beggar's Banquet through Exile.
And as for "new" stuff, this one;

 

Kinda surprised I'm the 1st to definitively name this. Some have it in lists, but for me this is it! CBS Clash 3!

 

Some of my favourites, can't decide which I like best I'm afraid, they're so different.

 

Can I decide on your behalf Mr. President?

 

Of course : )
