Your Number One Favorite Album.

Play the game or don't post, bitches.

Don't bi*ch with me bi*ch.  
Seen this thread loads of times and every time read a few posts with the intention of posting myself and every time that's as far as it goes with bands, singers, albums and various tracks coming to mind.
It is impossible to go for a "favourite" album more so when picking a favourite band or singer which is equally as difficult. When your musical experience spans four decades and for a plethora of reasons certain artists stand apart it could be a time consuming process.
 I could list albums from the seventies till now, rather artists or bands and the relevant albums would be obvious to anyone familiar with the genre - Floyd, Led Zep, the Beatles, the Who, the Kinks, Crosby, Stills & Nash, Joan Armatrading, Joe Cocker, Otis Redding, Marvyn Gaye - I'd be here all day cos they are way back and I knew I would go on and on, favourite album? no way Jose.

I'm gonna have to remove myself from this. Like Stuey said, when your tastes span decades and genres it becomes an impossible task. I can't answer this question.

Trying to find a second favourite could turn into a top five albums. Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Metallica, Outkast, KanYe West. Look what you've started bigV. Arsehole. . . Faith No More. Okay that's it, number one was easy for me but now I feel compelled to put together a top ten.

either college dropout - kanye west orrrr
discovery - daft punk

That's what I'm talking about. 

I think there is a Top 10 thread in here somewhere. I think I ended up with like a Top 20 musical acts list. At least, I think that was here.

I'm such an indecisive person when it comes to stating favourite music though. In my opinion, it's probably the hardest thing in the world because I love so much diverse, different stuff. A thread like this will haunt me for a long time!!

It is a fair point Kenny and my choice might change from time to time but I tried to think what album I would like to have if I could only listen to one and The Queen Is Dead kept coming back into my head.

Love your choices by the way. Kasabian debut and Dark Side Of The Moon. Nice!!

Hmm, 2 albums I'd definitely have in my top 10, or maybe even 5, are Hunky Dory and A Night At The Opera.

Queen - Greatest hits   A quality album from start to finish

That's cheating and you know it

 

I know 

I'm gonna hunt you down Dave. . . Can't believe I only just thought of DJ Shadow. That's going on the list.

London Calling is awesome, though not even my favorite Clash album. Such is their power.

What's your favorite then, BR? I love the other albums too but for its significance and how it influenced my musical taste I had to pick London Calling.

Today it's Plan B - The Defamation Of Strickland Banks which my lad bought me cos we have similar taste in music, then for some reason Beggers Banquet has come into the frame - a mate of mine gave me the cassette years ago and I swear I wore it out in a two year period of incessant playing.
The Plan B offering is a classic and grows and grows on you, the lead singer has a ridiculous amount of talent.

   edit: Beggers Banquet - The Rolling Stones

If someone wants to do a top 10 albums thread then go for it, I'll participate but to be honest, it doesn't make it a great deal easier for me. I've tried to compile my top 10 before for a Facebook group and almost as soon as I'd posted, I wanted to go back in and change some.
As for this thread, I'm trying hard to behave and just answer the question.

Me too. I tried to before and got 26 albums. I'd love to do a top 10 tho.

Oasis are my favourite band of all time so I'd have to go with this.



However my current favourite band are the courteeners.



Therefore my current favourite album is st jude. st jude is a great album for anybody into indie music. the courteeners are growing rapidly, just starting to get big now and in a couple of years i'll predict they will be massive. Have a gander!

The debut album just shades it for me, Diego. London Calling would be a close second with Give 'em Enough Rope following that.

Are you 'talking about the original U.K. version tho' BR?

To my mind the U.S. version of 'The Clash' was better than the U.K. original BR - the original wasn't, in my opinion, as good as 'London Calling': the U.S. version was.

On topic: Way too F***ing hard, for me, to pick one favourite album.

Yeah, I mean the US self-titled. If memory serves, Give 'em Enough Rope was released first here and then The Clash.

Curiosity Killed The Cat - The Very Best of.
Anyone over the age of 30 should have this in there collection 

Holy Bible by Manic Street Preachers - classic

Good shout, bradders. Always preferred 'Gold Against The Soul' myself though.

Simple.

What's The Story Morning Glory - Oasis.
