Best music album so far?

[begin_within]

My choice would be



what's your choice?

[LeftyFingerPop]

1. This one...

Grateful Dead...Europe '72

[greendog]

2. Maybe...

[bluesbassman]

3. Kinda depends on your point of reference.

But if I could only take one with me to a desert island, I think I'd go with The Allman Brothers At Fillmore East.

[Enthusiast]

42. bluesbassman, right you are!

That has got to be one of the very best LPs of all time. We wore out one vinyl completely then bought a second. Back in the day, you know.

[Iggo]

4. Sin After Sin.

[XemaSab]

5. There can be only one:

6. Spiderland- Slint

[ghostsofgiants]

11. Great album.

More people should know who they are.

[enigmatic]

28. Slint is one of my personal crusades

I just turned a co-worker (who thought post-rock was Tool) onto Spiderland this week and can't stop playing the record now...

[ghostsofgiants]

29. Nicely done.

:thumbsup:

[Project Grudge]

38. yes

my favorite hometown band EVER!

[enigmatic]

47. Squirrel Bait, too

Best punk band from the 80's, and even Bob Mould thought so:

7. The U.S. (pictured) edition of that album?

Just curious, since the original U.K. album the Beatles released is rather different.

I'm not sure what I'd pick as overall greatest album -- it might be something quite obscure. In terms of Beatles albums, I'd have to go with Sgt. Pepper - Revolver - Rubber Soul (all U.K. versions), in that order.

[Mojambo]

8. I'll represent for the latter day

[MrCoffee]

14. Good answer

:thumbsup:

[MrSlayer]

9. Perfect in every way.

[Burma Jones]

10. I'll throw this one in the mix

Though I would happily listen to almost all of the albums listed above.......

[LanternWaste]

12. For my part, it's....

For my part, it's CTA. Perfect blend of a great horn section, the best lead guitarist in the universe, and a kick-ass percussion section. Composition was king, and the industry's 3:15 rule was broken with impunity. Nice to know that there were still musicians around (musician-- someone who can, at the very least, read and write music).

[6000eliot]

49. Only if you skip "Free Form Guitar."

[Orsino]

13. The Who's "Here Come the Warm Jets"

Actual title: Who's Next. :evilgrin:

[southpaw]

16. Tee Hee...

Watch it... Eno might decide to drag you into court for that!

[Resuscitated Ethics]

15. Magnificent

[ghostsofgiants]

17. I'd probably pick their self titled, or the too obvious London Calling instead, but good answer.

[southpaw]

18. Best in recent memory...

[Starbucks Anarchist]

19. This one:

[guitar man]

20. that's a tough one, but

[Starbucks Anarchist]

31. That's next on my list to buy.

I just started listening to them this week ("Music From Big Pink") and was blown away.

[guitar man]

32. yes, great stuff

I was turned on to them by my big sister when I was young. They influenced me as a musician in ways that I am still discovering 35 years later.

I saw an interview with Levon Helm a while back and he was explaining the "Music From Big Pink" and "The Band" albums. He said that the two albums were conceived as one body of work, so that basically, "The Band" album was a continuation from where Big Pink left off, like oone big album.

Enjoy! :hi:

[Starbucks Anarchist]

33. I've been playing "I Shall Be Released" on a loop, too.

:D

[guitar man]

34. it's addicting, isn't it?

:D

[speedoo]

44. The Band got to ya, huh, SA?

I love them. Dylan's album "Planet Waves" is Dylan and The Band. One of my favorites.

[Seedersandleechers]

21. One of my favorites

[Tektonik]

25. great album

[mitchum]

22. "A Love Supreme" or "Here Come The Warm Jets"

[Tikki]

23. My choice:

Tikki

[Tektonik]

24. There's plenty to choose from

oh and almost every Kate Bush album

[Ohio Joe]

26. Music? It would have to be...

Zappa
Shut Up 'N Play Yer Guitar

[Arugula Latte]

27. I don't know what critics would say, but I like these a lot:

Paul Simon, Graceland:


World Party, Goodbye Jumbo:


Roxy Music, Avalon:

[Tommy_Carcetti]

30. Absolutely no contest for me.

But that's just one man's opinion.

[mainegreen]

35. It's too hard to pick one. I could list tons that depending on my mood I would place first.

Mr Bungle - Disco Volante
Skinny Puppy - Just about anything
Kraftwerk - Just about anything
Fantomas - Just about anything
Henry Mancini - Music from Peter Gunn
Psilodump - Never Heal
Amon Tobin - Lots of stuff from him
Portishead - Dummy
Scientific American - Strong for the Future
Shinichi Atobe - Red Lines
Hurdy Gurdy - Prototyp

I could go on. There is just so much music where I can't help but think 'god damn this shit is original/amazing/unreal/insane/mesmerizing/completely fucking inhumane, I LOVE IT SO MUCH!!!!111!eleveNTY!!!'.

I can't pick one. Hell, I can't pick ten.

[Sebastian Doyle]

36. Impossible to just pick one

But this one sounded pretty good this morning......

[Forkboy]

37. ...like anyone can even know that.

:P

But, if I had to pick something, it's this.

Uncle Jim's Superstars of Greenwich Meantime



This sums it up rather nicely..


At the risk of overstating its importance, "Superstars of Greenwich Meantime" has a scope that somehow encompasses everything in the world through an endless series of insults. In a way, it's the perfect American recording. No one is safe from his venomous tongue, not even Uncle Jim himself. As the climactic title track finds Uncle Jim attacking himself, a passage begins about traveling to a galaxy where "there exists no markets, no trading, no currency. The dimension where value is meaningless and time stands still." "Superstars of Greenwich Meantime" is the clearest, most concise, and beautifully composed work I've heard from the Sun City Girls. It is experimental art, poetry, social critique, music; it's everything and it's fucking pissed at you.

"True is the scent which mimics organic drones, of fact in flesh and blood. If true love and all of its belongings were subservient to the needs of man then bliss would be all that is, was, what will always be. But true love has never served man except as shadow, crossover dimension of illusion. An intersection of possibility as executioner of orgasmic continuance. As an evil time creeps desperate within igniting emotional need ablaze as wildfire much too gargantuous to contain. Prove me wrong and I will love you truly."

[Fighting Donkey]

39. Neil Young's On The Beach

Even better than his own After The Gold Rush.

Honorable Mentions =

Bob Dylan - Highway 61 Revisited
John Denver - Farewell Andromeda
Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin IV

[WinkyDink]

40. Rolling Stones:

[HuskerDU]

41. New York Dolls (self titled)

This band and record fit my taste in music to a T. I love golden age rock-n-roll and also punk rock. The golden age didn't quite have the ferocity of punk, and punk almost completely lost that magical golden age vibe. New York Dolls had it all.

[csziggy]

43. My favorite of all time

http://www.popartuk.com/g/l/lgpp0407+the-dark-side-of-the-moon-pink-floyd-poster.jpg

Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon

[stuntcat]

45. I can't decide :D

, , , ,
I change my mind a lot too :D

[Tektonik]

48. the second and third ones

[leeroysphitz]

46. That's a tough one but since you asked...

Orbital The Middle Of Nowhere.



It transcends...
