What is your favorite album of all time?

[dscottyg]

What a tough question. To listen to, end to end, there are many. The Cars Candy-O might be my favorite but I have other individual songs I think are more "favorites".

The Cars was my favorite band in the ‘80s. Candy-O, Panorama, Shake It Up. I’m going to download those now. Heartbeat City tour was my first concert.

 

[Happy Tree]

Queen II

Filled to the brim with guitar orchestras!

 

[lure555]

The sole album by the band Nymphs.

 

[57gold]

Layla
Live at Leeds/Who's Next
Sticky Fingers/Exile
ABB Fillmore

What I learned to play with.

[Yam the Bomb]

Powerage by AC/DC is easily my lifetime favorite. I have never gotten tired of it and still listen to it frequently.

For years my answer would have been The Beatles (White Album) but now it’s…
The Beatles (White Album) Super Deluxe Edition.

Those Esher demos are just fantastic. If you’ve watched Get Back you can just imagine the interplay going on as they learn and play the initial versions of many of the White Album songs. So good.

 

[Cliff Gress]

Five Dollar Shoes

 

[MarcB]

J J Cale - Troubadour

 

[Northcoastwoods]

Machine Head

 

[Relic1957]

Melvin Taylor - Plays the blues for you
Fleetwood Mac - Rumours

 

[H. Mac]

Paul McCartney’s 1971 “Ram.” It started out really good, and seems to get better each time I listen to it.

 

[Hiwatts-n-Gibsons]

I am not sure complete great albums get made these days.

I can appreciate a body of work by a band like Uncle Acid and the Deadbeats, though.

My favorite band of the last decade.

Blood Lust would be on my list for sure.

 

[Hiwatts-n-Gibsons]

The sole album by the band Nymphs.

For some reason this piqued my curiosity, gonna check it out today.
