D28boy Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Led Zeppelin I, hands down. Everything a good album should be. 9 great songs, top to bottom, no filler, kickass opener. Such a shame they only wrote one track though ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVOL! Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Music from Big Pink and The Basement Tapes(couldn't pick just one ) I like your style, brother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riffster Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yPGKlb8hklQ What? a Thrash Metal fan on this forum? how did I miss that? Hard to pick one album because I obviously have many favorites but Metallica's Ride the Lightning was a life definining album for me (and group of friends) when it came out). A very close second is Piece of Mind by Iron Maiden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Windmills Optional Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 This really is impossible, but I'll throw in Quadrophenia, London Calling and Exile on Main Street. Of course, now I want to add Neil Young's Tonight's the Night, Dylan's Blonde on Blonde and either Alice Cooper's Love It to Death or Killer. I'll stop writing now before I add too many others. Yep, impossible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STEVIL Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 London Calling by The Clash, it's so diverse and I never get bored listening to it, after that it would probably be The Who's Quadrophenia, and then, well then there's.....just too much lol!

Rabs Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Since its not been mentioned Axis Bold as Love is one of my faves ever.. Obviously Led Zep 1 and 2, Dark Side, I also agree with Abbey Road and I would have to put Thriller in there too (its a classic) and Songs in the Key of Life (Stevie Wonder).... Way to many good albums to pick just one. One of my first albums was Appetite for Destruction which I think still sounds great today and it changed my world at the time. Im not gonna say its actually the best ever but it means a lot to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EVOL! Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Hard to say. Do you pick the one that paved the way and influenced your favorite modern bands? For me that would be The VU and Nico. Do you pick your favorite songs? The one album that humbles you as a song writer? That would be Who's Next. Do you pick one that touches you emotionally in that special way (not in a naughty way)? The Band s/t. Or do you just pick the one that makes you want to plug in your guitar, turn on the fuzz box and reverb, and make noise that will level cities? That would be Sonic Youth's Sister or Day Dream Nation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Californiaman Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 The Dark Side of the Moon. No.1 selling album of all time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

surfpup Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 How about Deep Purple - Made in Japan? Ian. Machine Head is pretty close to perfect too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surfpup Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 No.1 selling album of all time. Actually - no. But even if it were, look at the rest of the list...

surfpup Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 So many great ones I love... many been mentioned already.... Jimi Hendrix - Are You Experienced Beatles - Rubber Soul, Revolver, Abbey Road Deep Purple - Machine Head, Made in Japan Boston - Boston Rolling Stones - Exile on Main Street or Sticky Fingers Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon Zeppelin - Everything up through Physical Graffiti! So how about a perfect Alt. Country album? If you don't have it - get it And this one runs a close second in the same category... Not much Jazz mentioned yet (Good job on the Take 5 Demoon!) This one should probably be on any one's "If I were deserted on an island" list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karloff Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 IMO... I could pick several but seeing as I used one of my all time favorites as my avatar I'm going with that one. I love that album. Bobby, im sorry you got a head like a potato, i really am ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karloff Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 how do you pick just one... if i had to, it would be Revolver by the Beatles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RowdyMoon Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 So many great LP's...I guess if I had to pick one that defines who I am or should I say taste then I guess it would have to be The Monterey Pop soundtrack/Film.... .. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gWuo0bmRWLk http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=smRXnyUWktg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trvlr Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Led Zeppelin I, hands down. Everything a good album should be. 9 great songs, top to bottom, no filler, kickass opener. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJLxuqJO8zo Close seconds (for me): Van Halen- Van Halen KISS- Rock And Roll Over AC/DC- Powerage KISS- Creatures Of The Night KISS/Ace Frehley- Ace Frehley Yeah, I love KISS. Deal with it. I beg to differ. It would be Led Zeppelin II :) - with a close second of Jethro Tull Living in the Past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zigzag Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 You guys have hit all of my favorites, except: Aja by Steely Dan, or Heavy Weather by Weather Report, or Soul Box by Grover Washington, Jr., or Aftermath by the Stones I'm glad that Dark Side of the Moon, Axis Bold as Love, Kind of Blue, and (any) Bill Evans album (although I really like the Final Village Vanguard album) were mentioned.
