favourite album and why

[The Ponderer]

Would like to hear peoples favourite album released and why?

[The Ponderer]

"Parklife" by Blur,living away from home in sunny Edinburgh studying at Uni in mid nineties this was as close as I got to being part of a movement, the album which launched Britpop was filled with so many great indie pop tunes Girls and Boys, End of a Century, Parklife.

Pink floyd - Comfortably numb

[BenDToy]

Pink Floyd - Dark Side of The Moon. Every track a classic. Haunting melodies, thought provoking words, ground breaking (at the time) technology, timeless writing, powerful arrangements and that great Floyd rock feel.

The Stone Roses- The Stone Roses. Pure quality. every track is exudes class, Mani & Reni provide the finest rhythm section i've heard & provide the basis for John Squires sublime guitar work. The jangly guitar disguises lyrics laced with an acid tongue. My favourite track changes with almost every listen and I still listen to this at least once a week. It sounds as fresh today as it did 15 years ago (15 YEARS AGO!!!!) if you don't own this record i suggest you buy it now! "kiss me where the sun don't shine, the past was yours but the futures mine" ...alas the future wasn't entirely theirs but without them a thousand bands including Blur and Oasis simply wouldn't exist

A couple of mine would be: The Darkness: Permission to Land, The self titled Tenacious D album, My Vitriol: Fine Lines, and Lemon Jelly: Lost Horizons. I judge my favourite album/song/film on the fact that I never get bored of listening to or watching it, and that is the case in these four albums

Appetite For Destruction by Guns N' Roses. Not a bad track on it and still sounds amazing 15 years later. I have a GN'R logo tattooed on my arm. That album started off the whole obsession.

Songs for the Deaf - Queens of the Stone Age, never fails to cheer me up. Mark Lanegan - Here Comes That Weird Chill, Field Songs and his new one, Bubblegum - very dark, very personal. Origin of Symmetry - Muse, So - Peter Gabriel (some of that album is absolutely haunting) and Light Years by Kylie Minogue. Desert Sessions 9 & 10 and 7 & 8, because they're such a strange & unusual mix of styles and music.

Grace by jeff Buckley. Why ? listen and you will find out.

[galltin]

Revolver or Abbey Road.Can't decide

[shady_jady]

It's gonna have to be the new Blink 182 album, self titled. Or 'The places you have come to fear the most' by Dashboard Confessional. Both excellent albums, my kinda music xx

[The_Mac_Lad]

Just thought Greedyfly should know that Comfortably Numb isn't a Pink Floyd album, it's a track off "The Wall".

[The Ponderer]

Being a bit greedy now putting in a second one but was such a good album. "Sound Affects" by The Jam bit before my time was only 5 years old when originally released but got into it in my teens. Filled with many New Wave classics was the sound of the suburbs and the songs of the working class epitomised by the excellent accoustic Thats Entertainment. Never did Weller sound so angry and true oh how it all went sadly wrong afterwards!!!!!!

[Wisebird]

Well done WoWo for reminding me - Grace, Jeff Buckley - and the haunting Lilac Wine.

First Clash album: the songs, the song titles, the no. of songs on it, the cover ... but most importantly, the age I was when it came out and bought it for �2.99 in Littlewoods!
