Favorite Album?
 

What's everyone's all time favorite album?
Mine has to be one I've been listening to since it came out in '73, and I never get tired of it.

Pink Floyd - Dark Side Of The Moon

Close seconds are Neil Young - Decade, Nirvana's Nevermind
and Jethro Tull - Thick as a Brick.

Oh gosh thats hard


Pearl Jam - Ten Definitly one.
Pink Floyd - The Wall
Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon.
Metallica -Live (i forget the rest)

Newer ones

Nickleback - The long road
Chevelle - Wonder whats next

I think thats it for now. :D

that's too hard CAL
Animals for P Floyd:D

For jazz it'd have to be the Bill Evans Trio, Live at the Village Vanguard.
For Rock, tough call ............Floyd animals, or the Stones Let it Bleed.

Charles Mingus---The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady:D great great album.

just one FAVORITE album is hard! here are some that i just never get sick of listening to...

"40 oz to Freedom" - Sublime
"Korn" - Korn
"blood, sugar, sex, magik" - Red Hot Chili Peppers
"Aenima" - Tool
"ride the lightning" - Metallica
"ready to die" - Notorious B.I.G. (one of the BEST rap albums of all time!)

i know i'll think of more.

A Charlie Moore Christmas

Rock:

1- Jimi Hendryx - Electric Ladyland or Axis

2. SRV - Any of 'em

Jazz? Tough one, Billy Cobham - 'Picture This' , or maybe Milt Jackson...let me think on that one.

How could I forget. I am not being pretentious on this one---Beethovens middle period and late period string quartets. Laugh all you want, point you finger and make fun of me, I don't care. These are some of the great works of music in the Western World. Great Snelling and reel cleaning music----or just finest kind music for the mind.. :)

I have a lot of favorites, here are some that I always seem to go back to


The Who - Quadrophenia (listening to it right now)
Boston - Boston
Alice Cooper - Welcome to my Nightmare
Pink Floyd - The Wall (Dark Side of the Moon a close 2nd)
Aerosmith - Get Your Wings (their best album IMO)
The Black Crowes - Shake Your Moneymaker
Edgar Winter Group - They Only Come Out at Night
Humble Pie - Smokin

Hey, gf, you cultured individual you. I had no idea. :p

Yeah, I like a little of that long-haired stuff too, I just don't have very much of it other than 'greatist hits' Vivaldi, Chopin, and the B and B's - (Ludwig von and JS). Come to think of it I've got Water Music, too. Other than Flight of the Valkyries I can't think of any Wagner that does much for me - although I don't tell my wife that (who is German-American).

I got so many CD's now I sometimes forget what I've got stuffed away in the racks.

funny thing slingha, stopped by a local tavern and animals was on the jukebox and playing.

HOW CAN ANYONE PICK JUST ONE????

i'm kinda in the same group as dad fisherman cept i might add

lynard skynard- one more from the road

Pink Floyd - Animals, Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here, the Wall, Meddle, David Gilmour's 1st solo album...

Post Syd Barrett...


Great Stuff!

Allman Brothers--"Live at the Fillmore East". Especially the newly released "bonus" version that has all of the live cuts from Eat a Peach on it :D

Dark side of the Moon - far and away for me but I also like Pulse as it includes that and a lot of the other goodies plus RW's solo stuff and all Floyd post Waters as well. There was too much talent there to rest in one piece.

Simon & Garfunkel Greatest Hits

Most older Springsteen

Led Zep 4

Most of the above... plus..
The Who "Live at Leeds" (new version)

I'm glad to see "Fillmore" show up on this list-mine as well. An incredible band having one of their best nights ever and the truck was there to get it. There are tons of live recordings out there, but none come close to that one.
Picking 3 or 4 albums is easy-come on, pick ONE. Gets a little harder, eh?

Pink Floyd- Wish you were here Nirvana- Nevermind, Elvis Costello- Pump it up all time favorite THE CLASH-LONDON CALLING

See all the good stuff is long haired music . im game for some 5th and 7th symphony maybe a little Jean Luc Ponty or jeff lorber for some jazz .

hmmmmmmm...... lots of Floyd fans..... gave them up when i gave up :smokin:

The Stones " Get your Ya-Yas out."
Mountin
Humble Pie
Deep Purple
Ted Nugent
Bob Marley
Peter Tosh

Darkside of the moon
Zepplin box set.
Joe Cocker live
Rattle n hum

Thats a crazy question, shoulda put an S on the end;)

But then again I like the group "18 Foot Lund."

Forgot all about the Motor City Madman

Double Live Gonzo - Awesome album

Plus I could probably think of a hundred more....But if i could only have one it would probably be The Who - Quadrophenia....that album just out and out Rocks

I see you stopped smoking and lost your taste for music too ! LOL

I dont like rap , disco , country , western or irish music ( the last 3 are the same )

Back home from work, adding to the list.
For living composers I think much of John Adams work is first rate; he's American, which is rare in this field. Harmonium, a choral work by him, is well worth having.

Debussy orchestral music is a must have.

Mahlers Ninth, a massive two CD piece, that'll blow the soul apart is highly recommended. I'd get the one conducted by Karajan, which Grammophone has on CD.

J.S. Bach---Cantatas 170, 82, 159. Get the one with Janet Baker singing. Her voice is hauntingly beautiful, even though I understand zero German.

Here are three for Lapinski. I don't want him to think I'm a weirdo. Both Chemical Brothers albums 'Dig Your Own Hole' and 'Surrender,' are great for a heavy electronica sound. And Roni Size 'Reprazent,' which is, in my opinion, the greatest drum-and- bass album ever recorded.

I have pretty diverse taste in music...here are my favorite album(s):

Led Zeppelin: Houses of The Holy
AC/DC: Back In Black
Ozzy Osbourne: Speak of The Devil
Black Sabbath: Heaven & Hell
Jimi Hendrix: Smash Hits

Dead Kennedies: Fresh Fruits For Rotting Vegetables

New Order: Substance

Billy Joel: Greatest Hits 1973-1997

George Winston: December

Sergei Rachmaninov Piano Concerto #3. Soloist Vladimir Ashkenazy with Kirill Kondrashin conducting the Moscow Philharmonic Orchestra. March 1963 recording. NOT fireworks, just pure artistry. I have three copies of this work, one set on unopened vinyl.

Sergei Rachmaninov Piano Sonata #2 (Op. 36). Vladimir Horowitz, recorded live at Carnegie Hall in 1980. Un-friggin believable fireworks.

A few others, but that should do it...

I could start a whole new thread on my favorite SINGLES of all-time...

-WW

FWW---New Order, I'm still a sucker for that '80s stuff. Got to love the Smiths "Hateful of Hollow" Morrissey has got a voice. Plenty of dark lyrics to boot.

John,

To be honest, I only started liking the late 80's early 90's English stuff when I was spinning these singles at a nighclub (did my own mix show). Stuff with 120 bpm (beats per minute) that could be beat mixed - like New Order, Depeche Mode, Erasure, etc.

Never really go into the darker side of the then "alternative" stuff (too collegey). I never liked Morrisey - not b/c his music is so "gay" so to speak but very repetitive. I never heard so many major thirds in so many songs in the same key! :yak:

Sounds like we were doing the same thing during those years Ben!...

Club Jockeying was nuts!... especially during those days!

Many women in them days! = many problems!...

N`uff said...

Don, women weren't on the radar screen at the time. :laughs:

I was addicted to 12 inch vinyl singles. Had a subscription to the DJ Times and the now-defunct Dance Music Report. That was like Penthouse to me. Record pools up the ying-yang. Had to get a larger van just to accommodate all my mobile equipment when I wasn't doing club gigs. I spent most of my time mixing up tracks in my bedroom. My clothes reeked of fog machine juice. My club lighting doubled for my study lamp. :hihi: :sick: :bc:

Music mags were your Penthouse...You must have been the originator of "Sticky" Notes then :D

thats what i forgot!

The Eagles - Hotel California
The Eagles- Greatest Hits
Staind- 14 Shades of gray
Eric Clapton- unplugged ( :laughs: )

Bob Marley Box Set Songs of Freedom is incredibly.
Just about every Grateful Dead album too hard to say my favorite, a lot of ones I have are live concerts.
Pink Floyd - The Wall
Bob Dylan Greatest Hits 1&2

Katie....I agree with the eagles and staind. also anything bob seger metallicas earlier stuff especially ride the lightning and there is something irresistable about garage days that gets me pumped. Alice in chains, Zepplin, bad co.,, ok I better stop...I could go on for days!
