What’s your favourite album of all time

[Billybagpuss]

DH and I embraced the shuffle generation very early on from our very first iPod and before that mixed tapes. It seems like decades since we last actually listened to an album.

today we had a long drive so we’ve done
Bat out of Hell (I’d forgotten how good that was)
brothers in arms
a Joni Mitchell one was a bit dreary
Ella Fitzgerald gold (absolutely brilliant)
Invisible touch (it seems the fuck up your life lyric has been cleansed on Spotify)

give me your recommendations we are very open minded with music tastes and genres the only thing that brings the shutters slamming down is rap

I love Paul Simon's Graceland, and also Chris Isaak Baja Sessions. Cant decide which is my favourite

Static and Silence - The Sundays
Regular Urban Survivors - Terrorvision
Heaven or Las Vegas - Cocteau Twins

I can’t choose one

Graceland
Rumours
Automatic for the People

Flood (They Might Be Giants)
Sweet Love (Anita Baker)
Rumours

I'm not sure I have a favourite album, it very much depends on my mood at the time, and I have quite a random taste in music.
Recently I have listened to :
Fatboy Slim You've Come a Long Way Baby.
Beck Odelay.
Radio head OK Computer.
Blue Ballard of Darren.

Oh thank you there’s some brilliant suggestions so far and some I’m not familiar with. I loved Graceland haven’t heard it for years

George Michael Listen without Prejudice

The Beatles Sgt Pepper (I don’t like much of the Beatles stuff otherwise)

Savage Garden Affirmation

Prince- no idea what the album is called but the one with Doves cry, Raspberry beret etc in the 80's.

Disintegration by The Cure. I’m a sad old goth still at heart. That album almost has to be listened to as a whole album.

Thriller

George Michael listen without prejudice

Deacon Blue When the World Knows Your Name

Bat out of Hell is great.
Also love What's the Story Morning Glory by Oasis.
Both came out at times in my life that were very significant in a good way and represent more than just the music, lots of great memories.

When Doves Cry = Purple Rain.
Raspberry Beret = Around The World In A Day

Guns n roses appetite for destruction

Artful Dodger Everything but the stragglers

Anastasia’s first album

Nothing sad about the cure. Another album we haven’t heard for years and is now on the list but that’s the thing with shuffling everything you forget how amazing a full album is.

Thank you. It was Purple Rain, but I thought Raspberry beret was on the album too- clearly my brain can't recall! To me it was a few years ago, not decades ago 😬

I absolutely love Rumours by Fleetwood Mac but also Tragic Kingdom by No Doubt is one I return to fairly often. True Colours by Cyndi Lauper is another one that always reminds me of being a young teenager. Nevermind by Nirvana and Gran Turismo by The Cardigans are excellent for car listening 😁

I'd come on to say -
Graceland
Rumours
Tapestry (Carole King)

Siren, Roxy Music.

I'm with you. It was definitely 4 years ago and not 40. 😳

Just love that George Michaels cat is a Jackson fan 🤣

definitely one of the best albums ever.

Rain Dogs - Tom Waites. Brilliant listened through as an album

Pearl Jam - Ten.
Faith no more - Angel dust

Before my time but my favourite is and always will be Pet Sounds

Astral Weeks by Van Morrison

The Kick Inside by Kate Bush

Hejira by Joni Mitchell
