SNH Official Greatest Albums of All Time *READ OP*

[volcanogeorge]

seldom seen kid has got to be up there really

pet sounds as well

I don't think I can listen to any album more than once in a row.

[Shum]

The 'album' format itself is pretty overrated when you consider that most artists can't deliver that much quality in one go. I don't blame them, though. Giving people 45-60 minutes of quality music on a single release is waay too high of a standard. It's doable, but it's pretty rare to find something that's truly consistent and all killer/no filler from start to finish.

yes.

dance music albums are just as bad for filler tunes as any other I've found, also I suppose the elongated structure of dance tracks doesn't have that much appeal for album listeners. I'm a big fan of "mixed" albums, where producers put together a DJ mix of the tunes for the CD release and have unmixed tracks on a vinyl release, it get rid of the lulls of minute long intros and outros and it seems more natural to put dance music in the setting of a mix. recent examples include the I:Cube and Villalobos albums.

as for my fave album ever, there are plenty of candidates but i'll stick with:

I could probably name my top 50 albums and none of them would have even a hint of guitar

[wub]

Gloria Estefan's Greatest Hits Vol 1.

[hubb]

super unknown

[fork]

I was gonna say Led Zep III, then thought whoever posted Electric Ladyland on page 1 was probably correct, then saw this

Maybe

Every tune on that ^ speaks fucking volumes. Lee Perry's greatest moment. Now I can't decide. There's also this The Gladiators - Studio One compilation album which is firm competition.

wanna be startin' somethin' is the best album opener of all time. OF ALL TIME. if the album was just that track 10 times it would still get it

[magma]

My favourite album is Green Day - Dookie, it's not the best album in my collection by a long stretch, but it's definitely my favourite.

Bob Dylan - Blonde on Blonde, Simon & Garfunkel - Bridge Over Troubled Water and Portishead - Dummy would all be up there too...

Thriller's a fine shout!

Hey, Dookie is a great album. There are a bunch of classics on there: Longview, Basket Case, She, When I Come Around, etc.

Off The Wall > Thriller

Because of the lack of dance music in here i'll give you my 2nd favourite

[therapist]

This is too hard.

One of these I think.

Dead Can Dance- Within the Realms of a Dying Sun
Cinematic Orchestra- Motion
Opeth- Still Life
Jeff Buckley- Grace

I can't think how many albums I'd have to name before getting to an EDM album. Probably 'Slam- Headstates'.

Green Day - Dookie

I was anticipating this reaction... like I said, not the best by any measure, but most songs have a fairly strong association to various awesome events during my teenage years. It never fails to make me smile, so it's my favourite. I've got a framed copy on my wall.

Welcome to Paradise and She are still amazing too, so you two can get fucked.
