The albums produced by Brian Eno are the best IMHO. One that comes very close to this is David Byrne/Brian Eno - My Life In The Bush Of Ghosts, which I thought was a groundbreaking album. Woohoo, I just noticed, that was my 500th post!! I've just joined the Prominentes club! ?

Islandboy Posted October 23, 2019 Posted October 23, 2019 Checking in late on this, I saw the title and immediately thought...Pink Floyd, Dark Side of the Moon. I see I’m not alone. It’s rare for me to encounter the sheer beauty of a true wordsmith in song (James Taylor, Jackson Browne, and in a witty, eclectic stoner way - Todd Snider). It’s also rare to find a group of musicians whose mastery of instruments melds together seamlessly as one over a period of several decades (Led Zeppelin, Joe Bonamassa, The Who). But the rarest of all is to witness both elements come together perfectly for an entire album. That’s Dark Side of the Moon.
Booyaa Posted October 23, 2019 Posted October 23, 2019 Different Class by Pulp.Followed closely by Nevermind, Stone Roses and Illmatic. 1
99call Posted October 23, 2019 Posted October 23, 2019 Hmm best album. I think best song always has to be 'God Only Knows'. It's just perfect, and a lots of the world's leading musicians tend to agree. Hmm best album? For me it's Astral Weeks by Van Morrison or What's going on my Marvin Gaye. I love concept albums that hang together rather than 12 wildly different songs. 1

It's so hard not to pick it but Physical Graffiti just has so much there. Pound for pound, Zeppelin IV is the champ but desert island, I'd have to go PG. 7 hours ago, Sir Diggamus said: Another vote for Dark Side of the Moon. I like the crowd here! That one's never been my cup of tea actually. My favorite beginning to end is actually Wish You Were Here, but The Wall, like Physical Graffiti, just has so much greatness in there. I think it's the pinnacle of their creativity and range and it's certainly touched the most people including me as Dark Side of the Moon was a little before my time. 4

Puros Y Vino Posted October 23, 2019 Posted October 23, 2019 My pick is a live album. UFO. Strangers In The Night. Great 70's rock with fantastic guitar work by guitar legend Michael Schenker. 3
FatPete Posted October 23, 2019 Posted October 23, 2019 So difficult. I love all the other suggestions especially Dark Side of the Moon, but I can't forget the first time I heard "Awaken" by Yes, just blew my mind, from the Going for the One album. 1
GrouchoMarx Posted October 23, 2019 Posted October 23, 2019 Dark Side of the Moon has to be the greatest album of all time.... But I liked "Wish you were here" much better. Ledzep 4 - the classic. 1
Popular Post BrightonCorgi Posted October 23, 2019 Popular Post Posted October 23, 2019 I had to go through three pages of albums and no one mentions the greatest album of all time... Michael Jackson's Thriller 5
El Hoze Posted October 23, 2019 Posted October 23, 2019 Hard question, and a bit of a cheat answer given this is more a compilation in the form of a recorded live concert w many guests but I would offer the The Band: The Last Waltz. 1
tigger Posted October 23, 2019 Posted October 23, 2019 Agree on DSOM. If we were breaking it out between live and studio albums, Waiting For Columbus would be my live pick.
joeypots Posted October 23, 2019 Posted October 23, 2019 Greatest for me? I couldn't say definitively and it'll change by the minute. I tend to binge records. I'll listen to one many many times then leave it for years. Let It Bleed is up there in my favorites. There is a live Clapton record, Just One Night, that gets me every time I listen to it. God, that guy is something else.
CaptainQuintero Posted October 23, 2019 Posted October 23, 2019 Really difficult one but I think the one which had the most effect on me was probably ACDC live at Donnington 1992. Other individual songs had big effects on me but a whole album that hits with every single song. Some close runners: Johnny Cash: The Man Comes Around Journey: The Escape Tour
Akela3rd Posted October 23, 2019 Posted October 23, 2019 Mutiny 12"/Bad Seed 12"" by The Birthday Party.Released as two 4 track twelve inchers but recently Mick Harvey said that it was intended to be a single album. Drugs got in the way of the rationality process... I've been obsessed with Nick Cave for close on 40 years and this is some of his most raw and visceral work. Incredibly dark, violent, emotional and expressive. As a 16 year old out made jaw drop and still does today.Sent from 47171 Lempo 1
Colt45 Posted October 23, 2019 Posted October 23, 2019 I'm another who could never pick just one and call it the truly greatest of all time. There are a few that come to mind off the top of my head - Aerosmith's Rocks, The first Van Halen album, some of the early Yes albums, The Clash, etc - that are meaningful to me, but would probably never be considered for the title. Great jazz, classical, reggae..... Is anything greater than the Nutcracker score? Maybe yes, maybe no. 1
grizzlee Posted October 23, 2019 Posted October 23, 2019 Torn between Zeppelin I, Zeppelin IV, and Dark Side of the Moon. Went to the vinyl collection to view the shape of the LP's and landed on one. I've two copies of Zeppelin I, two Dark side, and three Zeppelin IV - one of which was my original. The grooves on that copy are so worn it will just barely track. Given wear should represent listens -- ding, ding, ding - the winner is Led Zeppelin IV. 1
wea1959 Posted October 23, 2019 Posted October 23, 2019 Allman Brothers At Filmore East (Live) Runner Up: ZZ Top - Eliminator 2

Shelby07 Posted October 23, 2019 Posted October 23, 2019 Too many to pick from, but the first one that pops into my head is Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.
SigmundChurchill Posted October 23, 2019 Posted October 23, 2019 Most of my favorites have already been picked. Dark Side (being number 1), Ten, American Beauty, Born To Run. The only one I would add that hasn’t been picked yet is, The Stranger.
MoeFOH Posted October 23, 2019 Author Posted October 23, 2019 Thought about some worthy mentions behind DSOTM... Paul Simon's Graceland - pretty much a perfect album, and a very innovative mix of African music made it a standout work. The Doors LA Woman - best road trip album ever! Tom Waits' Closing Time - Ol' 55 alone makes it worthy of mention.
