Ulysses Posted February 9, 2019 Posted February 9, 2019 ...The Cure's Disintegration. The best album ever made.
Ulysses Posted February 9, 2019 Author Posted February 9, 2019 Don't argue, post the album you've heard that means you can go to music paradise. One per post. Shove your lists.
Craig_ Posted February 9, 2019 Posted February 9, 2019 Spirit of Eden by Talk Talk. 30 years old now, and nothing's come close since (apart from the follow-up, Laughing Stock). Just the right mix of soul, orchestration, noise, ambience and sheer beauty.
Jambo-Jimbo Posted February 9, 2019 Posted February 9, 2019 Blondie - Parallel Lines OMG it's over 40 yrs old now and still one of the best albums ever made imo.

Morgan Posted February 9, 2019 Posted February 9, 2019 For me, Queen, anything by Elton or Linda Ronstadt.
Morgan Posted February 9, 2019 Posted February 9, 2019 Ok. Just noticed the stipulation of ‘one per post’. Sorry, Uly. Elton.
frankblack Posted February 9, 2019 Posted February 9, 2019 Its hard to pick a best Bowie album. My choice varies depending on my mood, but for now I'll go with Aladin Sane.

Are you going to see them? Sadly not in Dublin, unless I pay a fortune to a "secondary" seller. I missed the chance to get tickets for their Malahide Castle gig in June. I still haven't given up on another European venue, and trying to figure out how I work a gig into a holiday trip. Oeiras looks like an attractive option.

Konrad von Carstein Posted February 9, 2019 Posted February 9, 2019 Transformer, Lou Reed. Can't begin to describe the effect this had on me on first hearing, amazing, and made me look further for musical influences...apparently I like a lot of weird stuff, quotes from Mrs KvC and #1 daughter.

rudi must stay Posted February 10, 2019 Posted February 10, 2019 Found this on a Barca documentary a few years ago. Beautiful http://youtu.be/sbAuZGO0W-4
Tazio Posted February 10, 2019 Posted February 10, 2019 Tom Waits Raindogs. It has so much going on and so many sides of his writing, mad stories, beautiful ballads, and noisy madness. Lucky enough to see the tour at The Playhouse and it is still in my top 3 gigs of all time.
willie wallace Posted February 10, 2019 Posted February 10, 2019 Blood on the Tracks by the one and only Bob Dylan.

Der Kaiser Posted February 10, 2019 Posted February 10, 2019 Underworlds dubnobasswithmyheadman Plenty other artists to choose from but saw them few years back in Glasgow perform the whole album through which makes it a bit extra special

jambogaz1968 Posted February 10, 2019 Posted February 10, 2019 I mean, it's the Subhumans, are you daft?!?!...go buy the vinyl reissues, strap on your studded belt, pour a drink and embrace this LP's historic, inspiring brand of amazing punk rock fun, politics, irony, '**** you,', spilled beer and never-ending radness...no really...go buy it...or else radioactive badgers will chew off your face..and everyone wants to keep their face from a vicious badger chewing...everyone!
Debut 4 Posted February 10, 2019 Posted February 10, 2019 Epic. A demonstration of their ability to take a mixture of art rock, new wave and soft rock songs from their collection and turn them into stadium anthems.

Jamhammer Posted February 10, 2019 Posted February 10, 2019 It's the perfect album. From the cover and the title track to Train in Vain. If I could only listen to one album for the rest of my life it would be this. The band changed my life. No shit.

I am another vote for Queen, but going back to the early days and Queen II. March of the Black Queen is amazing and it shows the beginnings of two of their other epics.
scott herbertson Posted February 10, 2019 Posted February 10, 2019 Tough choice (too tough) But probably this Shostakovich subtitled it “A Soviet Artist’s Response to Justified Criticism” , usually thought to be a front for it really expressing the tragedy of Stalin's russia and the death of his friends at the hands of the regime

Carl Fredrickson Posted February 11, 2019 Posted February 11, 2019 Some great suggestions so far - I love Queen, Big Country and Blondie. I discovered The River by Bruce Springsteen when I was 12 and it blew me away. However THE album of choice would have to be Born To Run. Under 40 minutes but no fillers
