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

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

...but there is friggin' loads.
Nothing comes close AFAIAC
[img]

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

Y'know, if i could change my selection i think i would change it to Endtroducing...... This is the problem with these 'pick [b]one[/b] album'. It is impossible

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)

Loveless by My Bloody Valentine.

Absolution / Origin of Symmetry / Black Holes & Revelations - Muse
X&Y - Coldplay (sorry - completely uncool I know)
Nobody's Heroes - Stiff Little Fingers

Not original but for me it's got to be Stone Roses but then again unfinished monkey business by Ian Brown is also up there so what does that make me!!
Recent favourites are Elbow and also playing loads of Johnny Cash lately whilst riding
Manic Street Preachers - The Holy Bible
Mansun - Six
Catherine Wheel - Ferment
Oof... like all right-thinking people, it's got to be:

Terrorvision - Regular Urban Survivors 😈
ABBA.
Floyd - Dark Side Of The Moon
Bloc Party - Silent Alarm
UNKLE - Never, Never, Land
2Many Djs - As Heard On Radio Soulwax
So many.. These are my current faves
The Smiths - The Queen is Dead
Pixies - Doolittle
The Stone Roses
Donald Fagen - The Nightfly
Some very good calls on here. A bit perplexed about any references to Mansun and the very odd one for AC/DCs Powerage (surely there are many better DC albums than that one?)
But may I suggest some early Sabbath (really anything with Ozzy on vocals). The new GnR album is cracking (no, really - I LOVE it. Suitably impressed here).
A bit of earlier Blur wouldn't go amiss either.
Black Sunday, Cypress Hill
Dr Dre, 2001
Early Genesis (with Gabriel on vocals)
Interpol, Antics
Iron Maiden, Iron Maiden and Killers
Any Zepellin
I could go on... 🙂
