An album you loved as a teen that you still love

[Outofideas79]

What album did you love as a teen, that you still love now. I don't really listen to album anymore, just the individual songs I like on Spotify. However one album I will listen to, from start to finish, in the correct order, on a regular basis is Greenday, American Idiot. There isn't one song on there I don't like. I love the flow of the album, and it reminds me of being young.

U2 Rattle and Hum and Achtung Baby

Madonna Like A Prayer
Prince Sign of the Times

Rumours is a great album but I don't think you can beat Peter Green's

Graceland came out when I was pregnant with DD1. Her dad bought me the album on tape so I could listen to it on my Walkman whilst bedridden with pre-eclampsia.

Has a special place in my heart

The Holy Bible but don’t listen to it that often.

Still listen to them all.

I listened to it the other day and got a bit teary for my teenage/early 20s self

.

The Beatles Abbey Road

Pet Sounds - The Beach Boys
Rubber Soul - The Beatles
Freewheelin' - Bob Dylan

U2 - Achtung Baby, my absolute all time favourite album.

'Best ofs' but favourites then and now:
ABBA - Gold
Madonna - The Immaculate Collection

Love them still but they do render me a bit tearful and senseless, even after 45 years, so not to be played every day.

God, I am old!!

Probably the first 3 Queen albums. I took some faulty shoes back and asked for the money and went to buy the third Queen album!!

The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust And The Spiders From Mars.
For both me and my best friend (we're in our sixties now) but that album was the soundtrack to our youth. And it takes us back every time we hear it.

Gosh, so, so many, but the ones I've been listening to a lot over the past few years:

Tori Amos - little earthquakes, under the pink, boys for pele
Pink floyd - the wall, wish you were here
Massive attack - mezzannine
Ozric tentacles - arborescence
Spiritualized - ladies and gentlemen we are floating in space
The beatles - abbey road, magical mystery tour
Nirvana - in utero
Babes in toyland - fontanelle

So many memories unlocked!

Another for

The Cure - Disintegration
May, 1989

On cassette tape. The cassette tape years are where you had to listen to every album in order. One side. Flip. Other side.

I still listen to it regularly, over 35 years, (including a hospital stay) and I still need to listen in the right order, always starting with Plainsong.

Last Dance and Homesick were also on my cassette (apparently not on the vinyl). Can't imagine the album without any of those songs. It's all comfort to me.
