Best album ever?

tough call.....off the top of my head, Love's Forever Changes.
Sweet and strange.

can I have a CD consisting of 700mb of my fav mp3 songs? :D

Nah ;)

darn...

Radiohead - Kid A

Seether--"One Cold Night"

Nationalteatern - Livet är en fest

Swedish band. In english it means "The Nationaltheater - Life's a party"

Quanoo: Is that jazz?

noka that's a tough one man. but i guess i'll have to say ummmm....... Helmet's cd called Meantime. just awesome.
Kind of old, it's from 1992. Good New York rock. :)

RHCP - Californication for sure

Would definitely be Pink Floyd's "A Momentary Lapse of Reason"

Noka: More like rock, with influences of old swedish punk. It's called "progg" in swedish.. Dont know if there's a good word for it in english... ;[ (or if it's called progg in english too) http://www.last.fm/music/Nationalteatern

it's mission impossible to just name one but if i could have ten cd's i guess that one would come from queen.

Led Zeppelin - Physical Graffiti

"Getz/Gilberto" from Stan Getz, João Gilberto and Antonio Carlos Jobim. Not the album I listen more, but not only is my fav, it is also the best LP I have.

Brand New - The Devil and God are Raging Inside Me.. the album impresses me every time i listen to it.. am i obsessed? you bet.

hi. pls add me up. i'm new here! tnx!=)

Best album? Californication - RHCP. Can't remember there being a bad song innit.

neutral milk hotel - in the aeroplane over the sea

Hmmm, tough choice. For me it would probably be Zitilites by Kashmir

REFUSED - The Shape of Punk to Come!

.period

Daft Punk - Discovery

Bonus points for having a film that is an album-length music video.

The World/Inferno Friendship Society- all of them.

if i have to choose, i suppose Just The Best Party is their best.

"High Land, Hard Rain" by Aztec Camera. It's a fucking masterpiece -- so good that it actually makes me curse, and very few things can lay claim to that.

Foo Fighters- In Your Honor
No matter how many times i listen to it, it always amazes me.
Incubus- Light Grenades
At first, i thought it was crap. Later on, it came to be one of my favorite cd's

The Best Of Groove Armada

Radiohead - In rainbows ... im sorry I know that sounds stupid but I haven't stopped listening to it since i've got it, going on like 200 times now.

this thread is a trap.

i honestly believe a truly diverse music appreciation can't be diminished to one album.

that being said, here's a start from my end:

-the stooges - funhouse
-pink floyd - umma gumma, wish you were here
-led zeppelin - bbc sessions
-jimi hendrix - blues
-cream - disraeli gears
-notorious big - ready to die

i could go on, and on, and on. it's impossible for me to name just one album, from just one artist, from just one 'genre'.

i hereby condemn this thread. OP, take no offense, I had to offer a similar response to a topic over @ GSM not too long ago.

my fav album to create my work to is Discovery - Daft Punk. So much of my recent stuff has been under the influence of that album.

It tells me to do things.

In rainbows is a good album. Not my fav, but I listened to it about a good 3 weeks straight. Not much for that Faust Arp song, though...

And Telefono Tel Aviv is a good choice too, just don't think it could be the only thing I ever listened too for the rest of my life.

I'd have to say that Francis the Mute by the Mars Volta would be mine. It's so good.

damn, agree with nitzua

however... here my list:

Autechre - Tri Repetae++ (it would be the album chosen, is just so damn cool, dynamic; with so many layers of sounds to be discovered, a real musical masterpiece)

Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon
Aphex Twin - I Care Because you do
Señor Coconut - El Baile Alemán
RHCP - Californication can't be out

If it was like to send on a spaceship, no doubt "The Velvet Underground & Nico". Somewhere inside that has a scrap to pretty much everything that came after, excepting, maybe, electronic music.

Now, if it was like the best, we would have to go on a year basis and see what would happen........

Nowadays even the unheard groups have wonderful sounds, so compilation albums made by your ownself works for the best album thingy, but as an whole album I can say most of Pink Floyd albums are good enough to be the best, Dark Side of the Moon is a good example for me (;

Botch - We are the romans

Any of the above lists, as long as you add Rush album to it. : )

"Bloc Party - Silent Alarm" easily my fave of the last few years but i could never pick an outright winner- it's like being asked which limb don't you want cut off?!
