Your all time No1 Album

[poco a poco]

A difficult choice between Joni Mitchell - Blue and John Coltrane - A Love Supreme.
I think Joni probably wins as I have quite a few more copies of Blue.

Just pulled Man Machine out of the sleeve. Dropped the needle in " forgot how good this was " . Thank you Tony.

I'm going with Wes Montgomery, Wynton Kelly etc Smokin' at the Half Note

 

[Elkjær]

Lambchop "Is A Woman" I really love this album. No matter what mood I am in.

 

[Rug Doc]

Have you got the original issue triple-vinyl of that one? It is a monster! You just prompted me to put it on!

No, I’ve never had it on vinyl... When I started buying music myself, CD was the new thing and vinyl had become a real poorer cousin, so I played it constantly on my Marantz CD63 and Alpine 7909.
Funnily enough not 15 minute ago I was looking at Vinyl copies on ebay...

 

[Jonn]

The Revolutionary Army of the Infant Jesus “Beauty Will Save The World.” Obvs.

 

[Conan]

My all time favourite album
Welcome to the pleasure dome - FGTH

 

[matt j]

Wow one album eh? Don't think I could narrow it down that far, nothing for me stands so head and shoulders above everything else such for me to call it my favourite album.

If you put a gun to my head though and made me do it I suppose I could go with OK Computer. Or possibly the first Stone Roses LP.

 

[tiggers]

Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars is the album I always go back to time after time.

Shout out to Peter Gabriel - IV, Kate Bush - This Sensual World and Joy Division - Unknown Pleasures.

But then there's The Joshua Tree too... hmmmm!

You had me on side, right up until there...

We can't all like the same things and anyway I know it's fashionable to detest U2 these days, but I've never done fashion. In 86 it was a brilliant album and it still is... to me at least.

 

[blossomchris]

The question is pointless, nothing remains the same.

I have around 600 lp's, probably 50 or so get played a fair bit, the others now and then, otherwise they go.

Blonde on Blonde by Bob Dylan

[Colin L]

Always hated them. Mrs 998 mk1, and her twin sister loved them and one time, in their mid 20’s wanted to go and see them at, iirc, Leeds. I said to Mk1, fine, off you go, enjoy. My BiL, who just didn’t do music at all, said no way are you (his Mrs) going just with Mk1, I refused to go as chaperone, because they didn’t bloody well need it, and because I hated U2 with a passion, so in the end they took their 65 year old mum to protect them from the barbarians of Roundhay Park. How BiL managed to see this as acceptable I have no idea, but there you go.

I was at that gig... there were these two twins in front of me who I spent the night chatting up...

I doubt anyone is going to out-obscure you with that one!

PS I’ve got their debut on vinyl and saw them around that time!

 

[Rob998]

Yeah, but they had their bloody mum with them...

My BiL was a serious dinosaur, I once overheard the twins discussing sex, and apparently cunnilingus was not a thing, ever, in their relationship, and Mk1 sort of extolled my enthusiasm for it. This worked well for me the following New Year Eve, when he, as per normal, drank himself himself into a coma and I got to do the twins thing...

 

[Ponty]

Impossible question, but Kind of Blue would be up there.

 

[Hazelberry]

Right now it’s The Sound Defects - The Iron Horse. Remarkable and highly enjoyable. I’m in constant amazement at the genius that went into creating this bunch of wonderfully coherent songs and instrumentals made entirely of samples.
