What’s your favourite album of all time?

Traffic “When The Eagle Flies”. Maybe because of the track “Something New”. I love everything by Traffic, and they’ve been covered by a lot of singers over the years.

ABC Lexicon of Love, Kraftwerk Tour de France Soundtracks, Talking Heads Remain in Light. I don't listen to them much anymore but they earned my undying love when I was young. Based on your choice, OP, these 3 might be up your alley.

R2, I’ve been meaning to give Talking Heads a go for ages. Any other good’uns of theirs I should add to my playlist?

Elton John's Captain Fantastic and The Brown Dirt Cowboy.

Remain in LIght is their foray into polyrhythms. Many bands went there around that time. So not the new wave funk they are most popular for. It was remade recently by Angélique Kidjo, and her version is good, too.

Lexicon of Love is a Trevor Horn masterpiece.

New Order's Low Life album. The cassette (yes, I'm eldergay) didn't leave my deck during my sophomore year in high school.

That's a good one! I had one of those red metal collapsing Walkmans and this was on many of my running tapes, and could fly up and down Filbert Street light as a feather.

Aimee Mann's "Fucking Smilers" from 2008. Her usually self-centered bitterness is focused outward more, this time around.

Shriekback, "Oil and Gold"

Y’all have excellent taste. x

Neutral Milk Hotel's "In the Aeroplane Over the Sea"

"King's Record Shop" by the great Rosanne Cash.

The Black Crowes "Amorica"

Depends. Possibly Ultra by Depeche Mode. Or Hounds of Love or The Dreaming by Kate Bush. Or Disintegration by The Cure. I used to love Operation: Mindcrime by Queensryche when I was a teen.

The Supremes sing Holland Dozier Holland. Great hits and songs by the men who made The Supremes and even the cover of the album was a beautiful golden cover.

Darklands and Psychocandy by Jesus and Mary Chain

Diana Ross And The Supremes Greatest Hits. A 2 disc album of 20 great songs including some good B sides. It was released just after Florence Ballard left the group therefore the original Supremes are on every song. I saw a copy of it in a store the other day and almost bought it even though I got the album years ago, it's that good. A real keepsake.

PJ Harvey - Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea

The Cure-Head on the Door, Everything But The Girl-Walking Wounded, and The Smiths Louder Than Bombs come to mind but that could all change in an hour!

I always listen to it when a love affair ends.

Tori Amos - Tie between “Boys for Pele” and From the Choirgirl Hotel”

Don’t forget Raffi!

I live by the river

"Rumours" Fleetwood Mac

Marvin Gaye

Linda Ronstadt's "Cry Like a Rainstorm" and Elton John's "The One"

Rickie Lee Jones “Girl At Her Volcano”!

Quah by Jorma Kaukonen, though it is REALLY hard for me to listen to the opening track, Genesis, without bawling like a baby.

Bowie: Diamond Dogs; Aladdin Sane; Ziggy Stardust; Young Americans; Low; Scary Monsters.

Beatles: Abbey Road is just incredible with today's high-powered stereo equipment.

Dylan: Blonde on Blonde, perfect and mysterious;

Joni Mitchell: For the Roses; Court and Spark; Hissing of Summer Lawns; Hejira

Brian Eno: Here Come the Warm Jets; Taking Tiger Mountain; Another Green World;

Roxy Music - Everything through Siren, esp. Stranded and Siren.

Prince - Dirty Mind

Oh yea, Van Morrison's Veedon Fleece, and Astral Weeks. -R31

You're right, R30, I hadn't listened to that song "Genesis" since about 1975. I just gave it a spin and it did make me misty-eyed. Thanks. -R31

Hasten down the Wind - Linda Ronstadt

SMiLe - the Beach Boys

Pet Sounds - the Beach Boys

Lucinda Williams, Car Wheels on a Gravel Road

August and Everything After, Counting Crows

Amplified Heart Everything But The Girl.

My brain wants to say Sgt. Pepper.

But my heart wants to say it's a tie between American Idiot and Eat to the Beat

Many of the songs make me want to go way over the speed limit when I'm listening to them while driving.

Moby's Play. Over the years I must have played it over 1000 times in it's entirety and I'm still not tired of it.

Any other fans?

The old classics come to mind, Bat Out of Hell (Meatloaf), Hotel California (The Eagles).

Good job, OP -- you smoked out Moby.

INXS - Kick George Michael - Faith Beastie Boys - To the 5 Boroughs

Hounds of Love by Kate Bush. The A side is very single friendly, but the B side is the amazing song cycle. So incredible.
