Personally thought Neon Nights was the best Sabbath album especially the track Heaven and Hell
Surprised no one has mentioned Wishbone Ash with Argus, my second choice after Rainbow

Mr Woppit - very strong reaction to Exodus there.
The question was best album of all time. Nothing to do with the behaviour or philosophy of the musicians
Exodus was a huge influence - it was probably the album that brought reggae into the mainstream. Very influential - the Clash acknowledged that they were influenced by it for example. There is not a duff song on the album and it also ties together as an album.
If we are going for lists
Exodus - Bob Marley
London Calling - the Clash
Dark Side of the moon - by far the best Floyd album IMO
The specials - the specials
George Thorogood and the Destroyers
Morrison Hotel - the Doors
Pet Sounds - The beach boys
Velvet Underground and Nico
Jailbreak - thin Lizzy
The name of this band is talking heads
Kind of Blue - miles davies
Nitin Sawney - displacing the priestPosted 2 years ago # -
Glad to see nobody's voted for that Mancunian covers band Oas.. something
My suggestions
Wish you Were Here- Pink Floyd (I agree with Rick Wright its their best)
Year of the Cat- Al Stewart
Raise the Pressure- Electronic
New Gold Dream- Simple Minds
Making Movies- Dire Straits
Ziggy Stardust- David Bowie
The Yes Album- Yes
Katy Lied- Steely DanPosted 2 years ago # -
This is very age related. I'm 45.
For me: Pink Floyd's DSOTM.
It changed everything.
I do listen to WYWH more though.
The next album that blew my socks off was The Joshua Tree.
Then Dummy was a revelation.
More recently: Doves the Last Braodcast and I love Ludovico Einaudi's Una Mattina.Singles: London calling or maybe A Town Called Malice.
I think Floyd's live album, Pulse, recorded using a re-commissioned mobile valve studio takes some beating.
As for the book I'd take with me on my desert island, that's harder to pin down & I don't think I've read it yet.

Best album of all time - I think that's really hard to say, as you have to consider the impact it has had on music since, technical aspects, etc. as well as the music on the album itself. Hence I'll leave it to genuine music critics to determine (and no, not the voting public!!)
My favourite album of all time..... for where it takes me back to, and on hearing the opening to it even now takes me straight back there again:
George Best.
But Stones Roses debut runs it close, and I would also feel guilty not naming the first Smiths album for the major impact their music had on me.

Sorry to buck the trends. My vote goes to Pavement - Slanted and Enchanted.
Here's my support FWIW:

I love threads like this! You might as well ask what's your favourite band?
There are some albums on there that the world would have been better off without (imo).
Best album ever would have to be one so ground breaking or popular that it had untouchable iconic status.
Is "best" measured by being most popular?
If so Jacko wins!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_albums_worldwideOr is best the most critically aclaimed?
http://www.acclaimedmusic.net/I think we need to know what exctly the question is here people!

Best is measured by the number of times you get that feeling and your head feels funny. It's always going to be a personal thing.
Talk Talk - Spirit of Eden is mine. It will never be bettered. Partly because it's a work of incredible genius and powerful emotion. But it also played such a major role in my youth I cannot imagine ever being parted from it. I have albums that surpass it in different ways, but none are close to being so special.
