The one you can go back to time and time again and it feels as brilliant as it did the first time you heard it.

For me, I think my firm favourite will always be 'Hopes and Fears' by Keane. It's got a really magical feel to me that evokes all sorts of emotions. It's one of those albums I can see myself listening to in my old age. It's timeless.

Farewell to my friends, farewell to the life I knew. I burn what once was, and in the ashes I am born anew.

Mine's The Offspring's Smash, I love that album! It always brings me back to being really young and rebellious.  :)

Tied with Smash is Ani DiFranco's Not A Pretty Girl. I just love Ani and this album really hits things home.

This is a really tough question for me to answer are there are so many great albums out there. If I get asked this again tomorrow I might have a different answer for you.

But for today I will have to answer Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon.

Jethro Tull - Aqualung

Solid and integrated from start to finish, wide variety of sounds and styles, bitingly acerbic.

This is a difficult choice, but I would go with "Blizzard of Ozz" by Ozzy (or the Blizzard of Ozz band if you believe Bob Daisley's version of events).  While the album has been played to death by me, there is nothing that has ever topped this masterpiece.  My only complaint is that they didn't include the Bside tracks  "You looking at me looking at you" and "You said it all"; however, they are released on the 30th anniversary and the 2002 reissues.   On that note, if you have the 2002 reissues, please burn them.  They are a disgrace to this work of art because they replaced Bob Daisely's bass tracks and Lee Kerslake's drums.  The result was terrible audio wise and an insult to the late Randy Rhoads.  If you don't have it, please get this album (the proper version that is).

Amazing album.  I wish more people gave them more credit.

I love Dark Side, but my favorite Floyd album is between "Animals" and "Wish you were here".

Hey! You took mine :)

I have to go with Pink Floyd "Wish You Were Here" - so many memories about people, places, and feelings tied to the songs on that album.

My second runner up is The Beatles' Sgt Peppers.  On a side note its refreshing to talk about whole albums and not just one song. When I buy off of I-tunes I do buy whole albums because 9 times out of 10 there will be a song I like more than the one that got me interested in it to start with.

Oh another Dark Side of the Moon vote.

Can't think of another that gets close to be honest, Maybe The Who. Who Are You

Ye I'll go with that great album.

Ahh, Keane, nice choice. I never bought albums, so there's bound to be a handful of songs i have yet to hear from my favourite artists. I was making a list of artists i liked and i was gradually downloading their full albums. I was surprised to find 'hidden gems'. Unfortunately my external harddrive gave up, so i lost so much music. Nevertheless, i doubt i could narrow down to one song, let alone one album.

This is an amazing post.  I'm not sure about the beach boys, but the rest are all very strong albums even though this wouldn't make up my top ten.  However, I'd rather have Tarkus for ELP and Houses of the Holy for Zeppelin.

I've noticed a lot of people on this forum have a taste for old school music. Is there a reason for that? Am I not cool because I like modern music? D:
