Your all time favourite album.

[MadeleineG]

Oh, Dummy, yes Dummy! What a truly amazing album 

I come back to it time and time again. Nothing more cathartic.

Hip fan! 

Ohh yes! Most underrated Canadian band! (outside of Canada that is)

Pink Floyd- "The Wall"

First album I ever bought.  And that was back in 1980...  I have bought a couple of thousand albums since then, but it's still the best.

Nothing but awesome front to back.  Then I finally saw Roger Waters do it live.  Best concert ever as well.

I saw him do it in Toronto about a year ago, when the opening notes of "In the Flesh?" kicked in I was almost in tears. As someone born more than a decade after the original, ill-fated tour, I never thought I'd get to see The Wall live show in person.

I haven't seen the the live show, but I remember watching the film on video at home one winter evening 20-odd years ago and acutely feeling being inside my own wall of projected malehood and finding myself in tears. Of course, I couldn't bring myself to do anything about it and here I am at last.

Just last week I was singing is there anybody out there at karaoke (lol) and it all came back and I started crying again. It's very powerful music anyway, but once you start attaching powerful emotions of your own to that...ooh away you go

I recently read Pigs Might Fly, a 'biography' of the band, and it was really good.

[KabitTarah]

Tough one...

I immediately thought of The White Album. Other Beatles albums are also floating through my head (Sgt. Pepper, Abbey Road).

I also thought of Graceland.


If I'm allowed to have four... there you go

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:

I like modern music (though I hated most of the 90s and early 2000s). My favorite modern album (as of right.... now...) is Heartthrob by Tegan & Sara.

I think for a very long time I eschewed current music because I didn't fit in with the people who listened to current music. (It didn't help that there was a lot of crap my peers listened to).

Also on my favorite albums list has to be Sir Georg Solti & The Chicago Symphony Orchestra's Tchaikovski 1812, Romeo & Juliet, and Nutcracker Suite (of which Romeo & Juliet is my favorite)... so there you go - I can be non conformist in music... those are my roots.

[CalmRage]

The Song Remains The Same (old 1976 mix and edit) - Led Zeppelin

YCDTOSA Vol.1 - Frank Zappa

Burnt Weeny Sandwich - Frank Zappa & The Mothers Of Invention

Meddle - Pink Floyd

Roxy & Elsewhere - Frank Zappa (simply because it brought us "Son Of Orange County", "More Trouble Every Day" and "Cheepnis" AND of course one of my favorite Zappa quotes "Jazz is not dead, it just smells funny.")

You Are What You Is - Frank Zappa (the production sucks though)

"Is There Anybody Out There?" is actually one of my favourite songs from the album, it was one of the first things I ever learned how to play on the guitar.

[Brielle]

I have to say Meat Loaf's Bat out of Hell as I had it on 8 Track, then album, then CD, now Digital.  That would be followed by Pat Benatar's, In The Heat of the Night for its raw energy and Blondie's, Parallel Lines for the beats. 

[LJP]

led zeppelin- IV

Could never appreciate Miles electric. Tried Bitches over and over and never dug it.

Bitches still terrifies me to listen to every now and then. By far his most challenging album. In a Silent Way breezes over me like secondhand tobacco smoke, comparatively.

This is my speed. Monk's the man.

All time would have to be something by the Levellers, not that I can pick.  Probably Levelling the Land just because that album reminds me most of the person who I started listening to them because of.

Recently Woodkid's The Golden Age though, that stuff just gives me the chills and so many emotions.

[TotallyAwks]

Probably
Discovery by Daft Punk.
The sampling techniques and synths they used literally defined a genre and shaped electronic music to be what it is today.
As countless other artists have done for other genres.

[Ryan55]

the eminem show- eminem
marshal mathers lp- eminem (the first one, not the new one that just came out)

yeah big Eminem fan..

[Calder Smith]

Probably all of Gorillaz albums are my favourites. There's just something about Damon's voice and how Gorillaz doesn't just stick to one genre. Every album seemed to have a different overall style.

Gorillaz first self titled album was really indie and dub sounding. Demon Days was more radio friendly in a way that reached more mainstream but they didn't sacrifice good music for mainstream popularity; it was an incredible album. Plastic Beach was an electronic, pop album that had a lot of 80's vibe. It's probably my favourite out of the bunch but I like them all for different reasons. Their latest album (well, the last album that came out.. this was in 2012 I think), The Fall was another indie album that had a country vibe to it. It wasn't as mainstream as the other ones and is underrated. Many overlook it because there isn't that one song that stands out.

Yes, Damon does have an amazing voice! I just can't wait for a new Gorillaz album so they can go on tour and I can see them; it's on my bucket list to see 'em live.
