same question that pops up quite often, but i’ve wiped my ipod and hard drive so will be going into HMV tommorow and buying a lot of albums, honest, I won’t download anything.

Suggestions?

Second Coming by the Stone Roses would be one of mine 🙂

Pod by the Breeders.

The Wall by Pink Floyd

Fat of the Land by The Prodigy

ac dc powerage or janes addiction nothing shocking

Second vote for stone roses.

stone roses, enemy’s 1st album and listening to the new king of leon which i’m loving

that one by the eagles…..???

The Charlatans Telling Stories
Faithless Reverence
Blur Parklife

🙂

I’m older..

Infected by The The

Sikth – The trees are dead & dried out
A perfect circle – Thirteenth step
Marmaduke Duke – The Magnificent Duke

A whole mirage of drum n bass albums that I can’t be arsed to think of

Hmmm, probably:

…but there is friggin’ loads.

Nothing comes close AFAIAC

Kings of leon-Because of the times
or
Radiohead-Ok Computer

are all you younguns on acid or something…………. ❓

Hmm, I just had a look for Dead Cities, as I thought “can’t possibly be better than Lifeforms.” I haven’t got it 🙁 Was that between Lifeforms and ISDN? Similar to either? Sure I remember owning it, perhaps it was my brothers though.

My favourite album would be Spirit Of Eden by Talk Talk. If my flat was in flames and I could only save one, that would be it. A more likely outcome would be me burning to death trying to save them all!

The Stills ‘Oceans Will Rise’
Stars ‘Set Yourself On Fire’
Arcade Fire ‘Funeral’
All of Elbow’s albums…
Loads more that I’ll think of later.

thank for the FnM reminder
on spotify now 🙂

queues FSoL & Metallica

Appetite for Destruction.

Or, Elgar’s Enigma Variations.

Or the Planets.

Or Tubular Bells.

Or, oh I can’t make my mind up!

Hey CountZero, love that Stars album. Went to see them on that tour, selected at random only because I knew they were all in Broken Social Scene (who are also brilliant live). One of my favourite gigs ever…

if you are rebuilding a collection, might as well start with

Faithless Reverence

Eels Souljacker

Leftfield Leftism/Rhythum and Stealth

Ummm…one album to rule them all…

Got to be The Wall then

(Stone Roses close)

Ramones
Ramones

soobalias:

Y’know, if i could change my selection i think i would change it to Endtroducing…… This is the problem with these ‘pick one album’. It is impossible

….so here is another:

Now going to back out this thread before i post most the Rephlex/Warp back catalogue 😉

can I have 2?

Holly Johnson’s Halleleujah, only because I painted the image on the cover.

London Calling – The Clash. Not only my favourite but the best album ever…

Blue – Joni Mitchell

Endtroducing – the king of continuity/incidental music. DJ Shadow must have made a publishing royalty fortune from that album.

My choice (it often changes)

but i like this too

The Cure – Disintegration
Neil Young – Zuma

Nirvana, Nevermind
Greenday, Dookie
Dre, The Chronic
Prodigy, Music for a Jilted Generation
Everclear, So Much For The Afterglow

Stone Roses first album. The one with the imaginative name.
Or Prodigy Fat of the land when something louder is required.
