Best Album... OF ALL TIME - Page 2

neocaster · January 11th, 2007, 09:58 AM

Wish You Were Here - Pink Floyd

dmt101proof · January 11th, 2007, 10:11 AM

Guy Clark "Old No. 1"

Emmylou Harris "Elite Hotel" a close run second - but that would be cheating to list 2 wouldn't it!)

Chris S. · January 11th, 2007, 10:17 AM

ONE?! Oh, man.

Okay... Miles Davis, "Kind of Blue" – CS

mark norwine · January 11th, 2007, 10:52 AM

Best? Just one? Forever & always? Then I'd have to pick this:

Beethoven: Symphony No. 9 in D minor ("Choral"), Op. 125; Claudio Abbado conducting the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, 1990 . Deutsche Grammophone.

In my opinion, NOBODY captures Beethoven like Abbado, so this CD is my #1 fave of all times.

~~~~~~~

Abbey Road ain't too shabby, either......

magicguitar · January 11th, 2007, 10:58 AM

It's a toss up between Sgt. Pepper and The White Album, but since I have to pick one it is Sgt. Pepper.

celtobilly · January 11th, 2007, 11:05 AM

The Band's second album.

flatheadtele · January 11th, 2007, 12:42 PM

Freak Out! by the mothers of invention.

hekawi · January 11th, 2007, 12:58 PM

the first (and only) Beatles album comprised of all Lennon & McCartney originals. 13 great songs from the height of Beatlemania. no sitar, no psychedelia, no Ringo lead vocal (no offense Ringo!) some of John's best writing and singing ever. and that first chord!
1. A Hard Day's Night
2. I Should Have Known Better
3. If I Fell
4. I'm Happy Just To Dance With You (sung by George)
5. And I Love Her
6. Tell Me Why
7. Can't Buy Me Love
8. Any Time At All
9. I'll Cry Instead
10. Things We Said Today
11. When I Get Home
12. You Can't Do That
13. I'll Be Back

goldtopper · January 11th, 2007, 01:22 PM

Led Zepplin II
or
Rolling Stones Some Girls

BLACKCAT69 · January 11th, 2007, 01:49 PM

The Who- Live at Leeds.

allen st. john · January 11th, 2007, 01:56 PM

Shoot Out the Lights: Richard and Linda Thompson

really good choices so far, including many that would be on my short list.

OaklandA · January 11th, 2007, 02:02 PM

Five Finger Fender Fiend · January 11th, 2007, 02:06 PM

Wish You Were Here - Pink Floyd

OaklandA · January 11th, 2007, 02:07 PM

OK, I lied...

There really is no best...but this one comes as close as any...Electric Ladyland, Sticky Fingers, White Album, on and on....

Teddy Salad · January 11th, 2007, 02:14 PM

It would be one of these:

Trane - A Love Supreme
Glenn Gould - The (1982) Goldberg Variations
Steely Dan - Aja
Beatles - Sgt Pepper's

Please don't make me choose.

T.S.

The Replacements- Tim

Lyrically, musically and as an acute observation of the human condition - a work of unparalleled genius.

51mike · January 11th, 2007, 02:55 PM

I'll toss in MY favorite..it's from 1969 and about 40 years ahead of it's time.
It's simply called "A Group Called Smith"

Check it out if you get the chance.

Bonnie Raitt - "Give It Up"

straightface · January 11th, 2007, 06:32 PM

Gotta go with Dark Side of the Moon.

johnny guitar · January 11th, 2007, 08:04 PM

Quadrophenia.

Nice to see someone pick Tim by the Replacements as well. Its in my top 5.

Cassidy · January 11th, 2007, 08:57 PM

Sgt. Pepper...

Not tough at all.

Telemaniac · January 11th, 2007, 09:07 PM

Only one? I make it a mission to play Making Movies as the first CD I play in every new car - does that qualify?

moo · January 11th, 2007, 09:10 PM

Appetite for Destruction. That's the first thing that always comes to mind when this question is asked. No need to hit the skip button on this one, and one of the few cassette tapes I've actually worn out.
