Favourite album ever!

[ipaul]

Sorry if theres been a thread like this before, but meh. Whats your favourite album ever? It can be a live album as well as normal. I'll start off:

Pulse by Pink Floyd

This is a live album performed in 1995 and it is so good. Has the entire dark side of the moon album performed on it and while i do think the live version of money is too long, Any colour you like is so good.:bouncy: Also has quite a bit of the stuff the band recorded after Waters had left live on it, with Sorrow being my favourite out of those tracks. It also has Comfortably Numb, Run like Hell, Shine on, Astronomy Domine and, of course, Another brick in the wall :awesome:

[AshMat]

A Certain Trigger - Maximo Park

every song is awesome, saw these guys in concert, awesome awesome awesome

[ThePigMarcher]

Pulse by Pink Floyd


Very nice choice , although my pick on there would be 'Shine On' which has always been my favourite Floyd song.


My all time favourite album would be 'Nine Inch Nails - The Downward Spiral'.

From the opening blasts of 'Mr Self Destruct' to the closing moments of 'Hurt' this is an epic all-encompassing dark twisted journey into ones mental despair , with not a duff track contained within , and is still yet to be surpassed by Trent Reznor himself.

Twelve years on , it is still played regularly and has helped me deal with so many of my own personal demons. Not just an album but a personal saviour.

[The3rdChildren]

Since I guess a sticker album counts, mine would hafta be the old Wrestling sticker album. The one with the Doink logo shiny that was impossible to get.

[ipaul]

My favourite Pink Floyd track (and fav song) is Money. Also think Dogs and Sheep are incredibly good songs, from a somewhat underrated album.

[mario114]

I really like both snow patrols albums.

[Blackfox]

Premier League '95

The best sticker album - and I got the Manchester United shiny!

[Letty]

Gauze - Dir en Grey
all those songs are amazing.

[soag]

I really like both snow patrols albums.

They have released 4 you plonker :heh:

My fave album would have to be Probot by Probot, such a great album for banging your head to.

Great stuff.

[Sexual Chocolate]

The Killers - Hot Fuss. I know its prety recent but so much of it appeals to me. Its fantastico.

[conzer16]

Mine has to be Master of Puppets - Metallica.

Love it.

[The Bard]

Holy Crap...theres far too many amazing albums for me to pick my favourite...

but it's between these:

Children of Bodom: Hatebreeder
http://www.jazzstep.com/yuzi/image/link/Hatebreeder.JPG

Metallica: And Justice for all:
http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B00002605V.08._SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg

Megadeth: Rust In Peace
http://www3.airnet.ne.jp/~vzr04461/album/Rust%20in%20Peace.jpg

In Flames: Colony
http://home.datacomm.ch/psychotic/progressive/inflames/colony.jpg

Blind Guardian: NFIME
http://blindguardian.fisek.com.tr/yolgezer/images/nime_cover1.jpg

Slayer: Reign In Blood
http://www.slaytanic.com/images/covers/reign.jpg

Pantera: Vulgar Display of Power
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v229/wahyudi/Pantera---vulgardisplay-Wal.jpg

Mastodon: Leviathan
http://www.progreviews.com/reviews/images/Mast-Lev.jpg

Trivium: Ascendancy
http://www.sonybmg.co.th/album/rock/picture/96200512253.jpg

The last ones a bit iffy, but I put in there because despite peoples preconceptions about them being a Metalcore band, they are not, they are metal through and through and Ascendancy is one of the best albums put out in recent years...

Edit:

Mine has to be Master of Puppets - Metallica.

Love it.

Right on!

Re-Edit:
Forgot...

Iron Maiden: Powerslave

Lucky! I have AS exams, so I can't...besides, im not that much of a festival guy anyway, I'll prolly catch em when they tour after the album comes out...

The funny thing is, at leeds, Slayer are playing...and are being followed by My Chemical Romance...they're gonna get bottled so hard lol :laughing:

[gaggle64]

Oooh, a few choices - inlcuding Gorrilaz, Public Enemy, the Avalanches, Led Zepplin, Athlete, Texas and Gabrielle - but it has to be Beastie Boys - To The Five Boroughs. simply one of the finest albums in the last twenty years.

[Monopolyman]

The Eagles- Hotel California


Anyone see them on BBC1 last night. Of course you didn't.

[soag]

:shock: :shock: :shock: What....really, coool, I have to track down the other 2, I have final straw and eyes open, I didn't know that had any more, I'm a huge fan....(though only have been for the last month) I NEED to buy those soon, if only I didn't clear out my bank account the other day I could have them off itunes by now.
This is the list of their albums

Snow Patrol - Songs For Polarbears
Snow Patrol - When It’s All Over We Still Have To Clear Up
Snow Patrol - Final Straw
Snow Patrol - Eyes Open

[That Guy]

Blink 182 untitled album - I'm not a massive fan of Blink before they did this album. I love Violence, and Asthenia, All of This was pretty good as well with Robert Smith.
Box Car Racer - Cat Like Thief is superbly written.
We Don't Need to Whisper - Everyone listen to Start the Machine.
Warning - I don't think this album was that popular was it? My favourite Greenday album this is.

[thesupersmashbrother]

My favourite band atm is Iron Maiden. They are simply mind-blowing (im going to see them at the NEC in december!!!!) My favourite album by them has to be The Number of the beast.

[Herr Dark Wolf]

It's between Ocean Colour Scene's Moseley Shoals or Boysetsfire's After the Eulogy. Both are superb albums.

http://img110.imageshack.us/img110/5940/b000092q7l01lzzzzzzz2qe.jpg

Fall Out Boy - Take This To Your Grave

These are probably my favourite albums.

[Platty]

Arghhh too many albums for me to pick from i have loads... i love them all.

I guess to get it down to one favourite ill have to go with:

Oasis - Definitely Maybe

Simply because it was the first ever CD i got (12 years ago now) and was what started getting me into the music i still love to this day.

[Ninty 182]

Of all time probably Appetite for Destruction - GNR.

At the minute though it's got to be Bob Dylan's - The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan. Or Elvis Presley's - G.I. Blues.

[Roostophe]

Jeff Buckley - (Sketches for) My Sweetheart The Drunk
Jeff Buckley - Grace

These two are albums I just love to listen to.

If I wanna rock:

Foo Fighters - The Colour And The Shape

[djamb3]

http://images-eu.amazon.com/images/P/B000002MP2.03.LZZZZZZZ.jpg

There are more but I'm busy to post it now.

[Fanelia]

http://www.hughie.com/images/Dangerous.JPG

[21st century cowboy]

So many. Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Fever to Tell, The Strokes - Is This It, Arcade Fire - Funeral, The White Stripes - Elephant, The Streets - A Grand Don't Come For Free, The Libertines - Up the Bracket, Franz Ferdinand - Franz Ferdinand, Coldplay - Parachutes and Arctic Monkeys - WPSIA,TWIN.
I can't choose. I lurve them all.

[Sarka]

Ive' only gotten into music lately and havn't heard that many albums really - but my favorite from the few I've heard is The Zutons - Who Killed the Zutons?

Honourable mentions are The Zutons - Tired of Hanging Around and Franz Ferdinand - Franz Ferdinand.

[Fierce_LiNk]

This album > any other album released since. Anywhere.

Ha. That is all.

Goes and hides under bed due to the inevitable shitstorm that will ensue as a result...

[Charlie]

This album > any other album released since. Anywhere.

Sorry if theres been a thread like this before, but meh. Whats your favourite album ever? It can be a live album as well as normal. I'll start off:

Pulse by Pink Floyd

It also has Comfortably Numb, Run like Hell, Shine on, Astronomy Domine and, of course, Another brick in the wall :awesome:

I have Pulse, and I don't think it's that amazing. It's nice enough, and the boxart is genius, but the studio versions of most of the songs are miles better, save maybe Run Like Hell and Comfortably Numb. If you want a goood Floyd live album, pick up the live version of The Wall. It's incredible.

My favourite album changes every week, but for now it's the White Album by the Beatles.

[Ashley]

Why is it people think we'll be unable to understand an album name sans picture?

Anyway I'm not chosing because I suck at that kind of stuff. Much like I have never declared myself to have a favourite band. Although if you want, I've been listening to We Are Scientist's album the most lately, but not my favourite album ever.

[*Dalco*]

Defintely Maybe - Oasis, its brilliant album and i never ever get sick of it

[BeerMonkey]

got to be lost prophets - start something

http://it.geocities.com/allmusic_l/lostprophets/002.jpg

Iron Maiden - Piece of Mind

lots of albums i love...

[Haden]

http://images-eu.amazon.com/images/P/B0002VJT4U.02.LZZZZZZZ.jpg

Lots of others as well but at the moment this is it.

[Tom]

ooh, this is a tricky one!
my favourite albums are (probably):
oasis - whats the story
the mars volta - frances the mute
mastodon - leviathan
kasabian - kasabian
Explosions in the sky - how strange, innocence

but, there are heaps and heaps of other albums i could have mentioned.

[Konfucius]

My favorite bands change from time to time but at the moment my fav album is
System Of A Down - Hypnotize

closely followed by anything from SOAD (except Steal This Album) and Slipknot.

[Tom]

slipknot vol 3 the subliminal verses is a great album. Duality is just one of the best heavy songsever written imo.

[The Bard]

Slipknot aren't what I'd call "heavy"....man you need to listen to some Behemoth, Nile or Deicide if you want to know the true definition of Heavy.

[weeyellowbloke]

Hmmm, this is a right tough question. Can't really narrow it down to one, but a few I really like:

http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e236/weeyellowbloke/doolittle.jpg


I could add a few more, but I wont bore you further.

[altheman]

Hard to pick one album but I've narrowed it down to six.

Oasis - Definitely Maybe
The Stone Roses - Self-titled
Arcade Fire - Funeral
The White Stripes - White Blood Cells
Brendan Benson - Lapalco
Interpol - Turn on the Bright Lights

[JimmyPage]

Now, back to Pink Floyd.... Dark Side of the Moon, Meddle, Animals, Atom Heat Mother (overlooked), Wish You Were Here..... all fantastic albums. and OMG when is the Pulse DVD actually going to be released? i ordered it in time for Xmas last year ¬¬ best album ever is Dark Side of the Moon. Best non-floyd album is Led Zeppelin IV

[gmac]

http://images-eu.amazon.com/images/P/B00005N53P.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg

my favourite band :)

best album I've heard and without them I probably wouldn't own all the CDs I do now :)

[kingboo]

Best non-floyd album is Led Zeppelin IV

Wow thats weird, thats also my favourite non-floyd album :)

If you want a goood Floyd live album, pick up the live version of The Wall. It's incredible.

Hmmm i may do so actually

[ViPeR]

No way I can choose just one, top 3 would be:

http://www.w-fenec.org/photos/2003/metal/machine_head_through.jpg

[Dan Dare]

most of you are insane. fact.

with that said: I love The Queen is Dead by The Smiths dearly. every single moment is pure, unadulterated genius.

OK Computer by Radiohead. A great band at their peak. hauntingly brilliant album . For me radiohead have since become more interesting but there's no denying that this is a huge album.

Grace by Jeff Buckley. one of the greats. Buckley was a genius, and one of the best song writers ever.

More recent additions go to Gorillaz for Deamon Days. endlessly imaginative with a great grasp of what makes music great. brilliant album.
