So recently as of September of last year I decided to find some of the best all time albums ever made. I have always loved music but I never considered that listening to a whole album can be a lovely experience. So I have gathered a might list of albums that I love front to back and I was wondering if ADISC could tell me their favorite album or what they think the best album of all time is. I won't write my list down unless someone wants to actually read it as it is pretty long. :)
 
I'm a really crazy one about music ^-^ ( I'v something like 120 GB of albums on my computer) but here is a rock selection ( very hard to do, but it's a beginning, if you want to we can talk about music through mp =) ) :

Grrr ! - Rolling Stones
Horses - Patti Smith
Cheap Thrills - Janis Joplin
Highway to Hell + Back in Black - AC/DC
Physical Graffiti - Led Zepplin
 
Those are some great choices. I think I've heard horses but that's all from that list besides a few songs on those ACDC albums.

Gad......there are so many. I'm afraid I'm going to show my age, but Beatles: "Abby Road".

The first Crosby, Stills and Nash album. Jimmy Hendrix, "Axis Bold as Love".

Rolling Stones: "December's Children".
 
Ah, dogboy you aren't showing your age.

I like Revolver by the Beatles, Tapestry by Carole King, Pet Sounds by Beach Boys and A Love Supreme by John Coltrane among many others.

"pink floyd - the wall"
 
Oh Revolver, Pet Sounds and the Wall! I had forgotten about them and they're great albums. Revolver is interesting because they used some polyrhythms in that album. Rubber Soul is another great Beatles album as well.

I'm going to stick with the concept and name only one "best": Grateful Dead - "Europe '72"

There are a lot of great Dead albums, but this one covers a lot of their styles and captures their live essence the best. The Dead have always been a live performance group first and foremost.

A niggling thought in the back of my mind says "Woodstock" should be considered if only because it covers so many more bases. It certainly qualifies as the Cliff's Notes of 60's music.

Hmm, I've been interested in the Grateful Dead for a while but haven't listened to a full album of theirs. Will have to listen to this one. Great suggestion!
 
I think I could listen to the Beach Boys "Pet Sounds" over and over again. It brings back such wonderful and painful memories from when I was in college and madly in love with someone.
