Funny how many on here can't read?? 
I don't think there can ever be a best album ever because there will always be a weak track.
My personal vote would be - Wish You Were Here or Achtung Baby.

Lot of good stuff on here STW, could have a pretty good Dads disco.
Hard to argue with Blue Lines and Stone Roses, Leftism and Dubno....etc.
No mention of Ziggy Stardust? Start to finish every song an absolute stunner.

Mr Woppit/Heathen Woods, you are indeed gentlemen of taste.
Believe Fantasy Shift is now available on CD & Here & Now are touring again, with Steffi Sharpstrings back on guitar.
Might finally, after shouting ourselves hoarse for it at every one of their gigs we ever went to, get 'Telly Song' played live
Seen many, many good live bands, but none come within a mile of Here & Now.
Posted 2 years ago # -
Amongst these:
Aphex Twin, Ambient Works Vol 1.
John Coltrane, A Love Supreme.
Radiohead, In Rainbows.
Bill Withers, Still Bill.
Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young, Deja Vu
Public Enemy, Nation of Millions.
Tribe Called Quest, Midnight Marauders.
Jeru the Damaja, Sun rises in the East
Rolling Stones, Sticky Fingers.
Michael Jackson, Off the wall.
Beatles, Revolver.Posted 2 years ago # -

I'd rate Gong pretty highly too and -fzzzkt!- I missed them in Sheffield on Monday as I thought they were touring *next* month. Doh and double doh! Still, I have a workmate who's seeing them in Brighton on Sunday and he's said he'll tell me how good they are. Which is thoughtful of him...

If "best" means what I think it means here (i.e. "a favourite album that I think lots of other people like too") then it's gotta be another vote for Endtroducing by DJ Shadow.

Just kidding, they're sh1t
I,ll have metallica's 'master of puppets' pleasePosted 2 years ago # -
I keep coming back to this thread without putting anything up, 'cos it's such a subjective thing. I honestly don't think there can be an 'all-time best' album, because tastes change, and it comes back to personal all-time best.
So, for whatever it may be worth, in no particular order, mine would be:
Dark Side Of The Moon
Court Of The Crimson King
Bridge Over Troubled Water
The Hissing Of Summer Lawns
Shawn Colvin Fat City
Kris Delmhorst Song ForA Hurricane
Dummy
Arcade Fire Funeral
Close To The Edge
Joshua TreeThere's something about each of these recordings that has a deep personal resonance, and that for me makes them great.

Axis of Evil - Suicide commando

..and they made the most bland music of all time, so cannot in any way be considered "greatest". Unless being dead makes you great.
