So everyone what are your favourite music albums? What do you think are the best? Albums where every track is awesome. Or have a few particularly awesome tracks. Personally, I think Bright Lights by Ellie Goulding is brilliant. Most of the songs on it are really good IMO: This Love (Will Be Your Downfall), Guns and Horses, Lights, Home, The Writer, etc
Saw Ellie Goulding live she was incredibly underwhelming which put me off her, though each to their own. Two of my favourite albums are by the Arctic Monkeys: "Whatever people say I am that's what I'm not" and "favourite worst nightmare" Not a track on either I don't know all the words too.
Kind of Blue by Miles Davis Lizard by King Crimson Led Zeppelin IV Dark Side of the Moon by Pink Floyd Unhalfbricking by Fairport Convention Blue by Joni Mitchell Europe '72 by the Grateful Dead Solid Air by John Martin OK Computer by Radiohead On the Beach by Neil Young In Absentia by Porcupine Tree Mind, Body and Soul by Joss Stone Sigh No More by Mumford and Sons Fantasia on Greensleeves by Vaughan Williams I could go on..... Ask me tomorrow and I'll probably give you a completely different list!
19 by Adele / 21 by Adele / Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd / Bridge Over Troubled Waters by Simon & Garfunkel / All the albums by Elbow.........etc..........etc............etc.
London Calling, Sandanista :- The Clash Setting Sons :- The Jam This Year's Model, Get Happy, King of America :- Elvis Costello Transformer, New York :- Lou Reed Peter Gabriel I & II :- Peter Gabriel After the goldrush :- Neil Young Revolver :- The Beatles The kick inside :- Kate Bush Blue :- Joni Mitchell Songs in the key of life :- Stevie Wonder Warehouse:Songs&stories :- Husker Du Grand Prix :- Teenage Fanclub Copper Blue :- Sugar Workbook :- Bob Mould Oh, inverted world : The Shins The King is dead :- The Decemberists Victim of geography :- Billy Bragg Squeezing out sparks : Graham Parker Quadrophenia :- The Who These are the albums that I will never get tired of listening to.
I love The Hazards of love and The Crane Wife too but there are some perfect songs on The King is Dead, although more commercial, admittedly.
Cold and Bouncy. High Llamas. Margarine Eclipse. Stereolab. Happy End of the World. Pizzicato Five. Les Hommes. Les Hommes. Harpsichord Treacle. The Superimposers. Computer World. Kraftwerk.

Your Stories and Thoughts. Le Futur Pompiste.
Oh dear. Is this to take the subject off football..? Pompey football in particular. I seriously have no axe to grind, but this is despairing. Sorry Pompey pepys, it just seems that way. I'll play along though: Any XTC album, apart from the first two, which are White Music and GO2, they were patchy, plus Big Express. The rest are sublime. CSNY, pre DSOTM Pink Floyd are excellent. Yes, after before Relayer, 1st five Led Zeppelins, on and on. 700 LPs + oodles of CD/MP3s are a lot to go through. I've tried my best. Perhaps you need to relocate to Rate Your Music. EDIT: Chilcosaint [oops and Saintsalive], with your Blue and Solid Air, my goodness me..!
It's not for everyone, and I don't listen to this kind of music anymore, but I feel that I must mention Metallica's Master of Puppets. It's the perfect album for its genre. And I honestly can't believe that Coldplay always get a mention - they truly are terrible. A personal favourite of mine is Lateralus by Tool.
