Wu Tang Clan - Enter the Wu Tang (managed to see them in NYC for Rock The Bells 2010 performing the whole album was a dream comes true) and the second best album for me would be Gang Starr - Moment of Truth

In my top 5 Hip Hop LPs for sure. Love that lo-fi, scuzzy sound! 👌🙌

Peace peace

Roni size - new forms
Massive attack - blue lines

finally someone said Blue Lines. It's odd because in a lot of ways musically I don't rate it highly, it's kind of clumsy in parts, some of the ideas are underdeveloped, some of it almost makes me cringe. But there was just something so special about that time and the sound felt so new and yet familiar. Even though their later stuff is "better" Blue Lines has such a permananet special place in my heart.

It’s definitely the whole vibe.

Tribe Called Quest - Low-End Theory

De La Soul - 3 Feet High & Rising

Prodigy - Music For Jilted Generation
Leftfield - Leftism

Could list plenty but these 2 are special 😎🥳🤯👽

Leftism is immense. It's been a while, I'm gonna have to fish it out the old collection.

Got few hours in car tomorrow think I'm gonna blast it myself been a good while

Time well spent. As for The Prodigy, I saw them at Glasto in '95. They were flying high off the back of Music for the Jilted Generation. I vividly remember Keith (RIP) rolling onto the stage in a giant hamster ball. They were awesome. So much energy.

I last saw them around 2008 at Manchester arena invaders must die tour. Awesome gig. 😛

ok computer

Nirvana - Unplugged in New York

Nas and Damien Marley - Distant Relatives

Damien Marley first album 🔥

dark side by pink floyd and blonde by frank ocean. i absolutely rinse both year after year :)

Full albums I've actually listened to over and over are "The Wall" & "Graceland"

Really love listening to Graceland on a fresh sativa high)

Graceland brings back memories of my mum blasting that album most days when I was a kid

That's how I first heard it too when my mums friend got them the album back in the early 80s)

Tom Waits "Blue Valentine", Ry Cooder "Bop Till You Drop" - honourable mention to Joni Mitchell "Blue", Janis Joplin "Pearl", David Crosby "If I Could Only Remember My Name", and a gazillion others...

Fantastic LP.

The best Waits' in a catalogue where the bar is astonishingly high.

Bone Machine 🤣

I know I’m cheating but I got
Outkast- Aquemini (and stankonia)
Fugees - The Score
Jay Z - The Blueprint
Kanye - MBDTF
Nas- Illmatic

Some absolute works of art here.

Aphex Twin - Ambient Works 85-92

DJ Shadow - The Private Press

Soundtracks to a digital existence

#OneLife #WhoAreYou 💯❤️

If you don’t know…wake up! 💯❤️

i didn't know bjork was originally an anime character

Soundgarden - Superunknown
Beastie Boys - ill Communication

I’m a grump about Ill Communication. It has some great tracks on it. But the jazz filler does nothing for me.

What's going on- Marvin Gaye..almost goes as a mix album the way the songs blend into one another. So relevant to today too.

Another I've played to death over the years is Joni Mitchell- Blue. Just a sublimely chilled album.
Many more, but these two I think I have probably played the most in my lifetime so far

The doors,LA woman
The complete stone roses
And many many more.

Future sound of London - Lifeforms
Funkadelic - Maggot brain

Since my favourite 2 have already been picked by loads of people, I'll go for...
Led Zeppelin - Physical Graffiti
Portishead - Dummy

System of a down - toxicity

The Streets - Original pirate material

Great shout. Loved Original Pirate Material when it came out.

I can safely say that Appetite for Destruction is the album I've listened to the most. Carousel by Subcircus has had well over 20 years love from me as well

1. Aphex Twin - selected ambient works
2. TLC - Crazy, sexy, cool

Primal Scream - Screamadelica
Massive Attack- Blue Lines

Ohhh tough probably Floyd dark side of the moon and the doors soft parade

+1 for dark side of the moon, and wish you were here.

Dark Side of the Moon has got to be my first pick. Millionaires by James is great when you've got some sativa running through your system.

The Baby Huey story The living legend and Radiohead The bends.

The Bends is one of the finest albums ever made in my opinion.

My favourite of theirs.

Great great album

Baby Huey good shout crate diggers classic love it

Easy Star All Stars - Dub Side of the Moon.
L'Entourloop - Chickens In Your Town.

Never heard Dub Side of the Moon until today- bloody great👍- so big thanks for the heads up!!!

Its bloody awesome 👌

Once discovered, it's a beautiful thing. Enjoy!

Dub Side is great, but the Radiodread is awful!

I completely agree. They massacred it.

Wow!!!! Just WOW!
Dubside of the moon 🌙
Amazing..... how this has escaped me is beyond me 🤷‍♂️ I love darkside that much I have the prism tattood on my chest

Kaleo - A/B
Audioslave - audioslave
Dre - 2001
Linden park - meteora

Yes Dre 2001 epic at the time

2 is incredibly difficult, and I can't be the only one with eclectic tastes and a butterfly mind where these will all change regularly anyway. So I'll go with:

Ash - 1977

and

Kent - Hagnesta Hill (available in English and Swedish, so surely I get to choose both?)

I once worked on a tour of Denmark and Kent played , your comment is the only other time I’ve heard of them lol

"The Dark Side of the Moon" by Pink Floyd: Released in 1973, this album is considered a masterpiece and one of the greatest progressive rock albums of all time. It features a conceptually unified theme and explores various philosophical and existential topics. Tracks like "Money," "Time," and "Us and Them" are widely loved.

"Thriller" by Michael Jackson: Released in 1982, "Thriller" is the best-selling album of all time and a cultural phenomenon. It revolutionized pop music, blending various genres and delivering iconic hits such as "Billie Jean," "Beat It," and the title track "Thriller."

The jam All mod cons
Nwa straight outta compton

Dylan - Blood on the Tracks
Bowie - Low

Both as fresh today as ever

Rumours…Fleetwood Mac
Transformer….Lou Reed

1st. Chase & Status - More than a lot (2008)
2nd. Nipsey Hussle - Victory Lap (2018)

Muse - Absolution( regardless if you like the band the story of the end of the world from start to end is amazing!)

Nirvana - Unplugged in New York

Dark Side of the Moon, best album ever, bar none. 50 years old this year, same as me!
950 weeks on Billboard 200 chart! 750 of them consecutive!!
Lee 'Scratch" Perry - Open the Gate. Sadly deleted and expensive to buy, but can be downloaded online. 2 CDs of heavyweight 12". Jimmy Cliff got me listening to reggae, this album burnt it into my soul.

Up Cornwall Emmets out!! ;)

Lol, Emmet ground zero here! Happy campers can feck orf!

This is tough but going on repeats alone I reckon these pip it,

Riding with the king - Clapton and BB King
We're new here - Jamie xx and Gil Scott-Heron

Rust in peace by Megadeth and Obzen by Meshuggah.

I second Rust in Peace, esp. Hangar 18 & Lucretia - Marty Friedman's finest hour

I absolutely love tornado of souls. One of the greatest guitar solos of all time

So glad someone has shouted out Jamie xx, amazingly talented music producer the first album with him and his sister The Xx I can’t even guess how many times I’ve listened to it, song 1 known as intro is a work of art. I’m gutted they or he have released so little but sadly he probably earns more producing for other artists who are more mainstream?
Not heard of your other suggestions but will check them out based on your clearly good taste !

There are loads of full albums I’ll listen to…naming just two, well the two most recent ones that spring to mind for me Acid Bath-when the kite string pops and Oasis - definitely maybe not a bad track on either one.

I think 2001 is the last time I listened to an album :)

My picks:
The Velvet Underground & Nico - just a classic album. Spaceman 3 "The Perfect Prescription" with an honorable mention for Ode to Street Hassle

Quality

Black Love by Afghan Whigs
Good Luck by Debby Friday

Storm of the light's bane - Dissection

Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia - Dimmu borgir

Gentlemen by the Whigs is also epic

Its an absolute epic album. That bit in Fountain and Fairfax where Happy Chichester's piano wraps around Barb's cello is heaven. Its as good an album as Black Love for sure, some fans prefer it but BL is the GOAT.

Linkin Park - Hybrid Theory
The Roots - Undun

Script of the Bridge by The Chameleons. Some friends told me they would bury the album with me, I'd go to sleep listening to it.
Scary Monsters by Bowie, time of life thing for me 'Teenage Wildlife'.

Second skin from Script of the Bridge is a monumental track.

Mrdeeds36, yes it is, blinding track, good to hear from another fan. 'Up the down escalator' is my anthem for a crazy world today.

Light up, smile and wave.

"They sit at their tables and throw us the scraps
For Christ's sake leave us something!
Now they can erase you at the flick of a switch
How long now will it take now?
There must be something wrong boys"

I adore this period of post punk before brit pop came along and fudged it. IMO lol

Swamp Thing from Strange Times is another brilliant song.

You nailed it with the lyric mate.
They were a good band live, too.

I agree with you.

'The storm comes, or is it just another shower'

Hi Mate, Got 'Script of the bridge' playing again this weekend. The album seems more poignant than ever.
Light up and have a good weekend.

Hey bud, I'm well thanks and intend to have a good weekend, it's my bday on Monday so have started early with some very nice and mood lifting Cap Junky, then for some stand up comedy me thinks.
Script of the Bridge will always be applicable to me. Finding some albums feels like finding treasure and it's one of those albums, as is From the lions mouth by The Sound, which if you haven't heard I profoundly recommend. Have a good'n mate and tell me, what are you smoking on matey and have you chonged anything recently with strong euphoric/giggly affects?

Happy Birthday mate.
I will be listening to that recommendation later today.
Smoking 'red apple' Leb, 'apple tart' Maroc hashish and just got some 'Sunset Sherbet' and 'Billy Kimber' bud, all amazing.
Happy birthday. Crispy

Hi Mr, Really liked that album, how did I miss that? Do you like 'sad lovers and giants' and 'and also the trees' ?

Never heard of either band before this shout. I listened to Epic Garden Music this morning on a hike and it's fantastic love the use of the keyboard and you can really hear early elements of shoegaze taking shape on tracks like "Lope" and "ART".. This is a very good band crisp.. Try listening to Soul Mining and Dusk by The The and tell me what you think. Anyway stay cool compadre.

Great shout. I also love The Sound.

dEUS The Ideal Crash and Pretty Hate Machine NIN. Never tire of those two... There are many more but these two popped out my cheesebox first.

Hard to pick just 2, and I see a nearly all male list below...so:

Baduizm - Erykah Badu

Hounds of Love - Kate Bush

Midtown 120 Blues - DJ Sprinkles (couldn't leave this utter classic out!)

My Bloody Valentine - Loveless. Still sounds like nothing else.

…And You Will Know us By The Trail of Dead - Source Tags and Codes - possibly not the best album ever. But I just love it.

Dre 2001 and Fleetwood Mac Rumours.

Fleetwood Mac especially. Playing that album on a good car stereo on a nice road in the summer. Great times....👌🎶

Cheers BB 😊👍🍻

Hissing of Summer Lawns
Slanted and Enchanted

Tony Rice - Guitar
FFAF - Hours

Probably Drake - Views and lil durk - 7220. Them albums on repeat with a hash spliff = a mood

teens of denial - car seat headrest

brighten the corners - pavement

It’s gotta be Slanted & Enchanted for me.

pavement fucking rocks, love a bit of syd barrett too

Damn, you have good taste!

Bruce Dickinson - The Chemical Wedding
&
Pink Floyd - The Final Cut

From Within - Pete Namlook and Ritchie Hawtin.
Graceland - Paul Simon.
👍

Cheap Thrills - Janis Joplin with Big Brother and the Holding Company. Aqualung - Jethro Tull. Both are extraordinary (to me, anyway) with a good dose of THC.

Just 2 …thats tricky!!

Some have already mentioned primal scream screamadilca. I played underworld dubnobasswithmyheadman a lot as well, but I think I will actually plump for depeche mode violator and u2 Joshua tree, 2 albums that got played a lot and got me through life…

Eminem - MMLP

Redman - Muddy Waters

Bit random but....
E99 eternal - bone thugs
Favourite worst nightmare - arctic monkeys
Not sure they my face of all time but certainly remember listening on repeat to both of these

Reading the comments, we’re such a bunch of mixed people here haha (GOOD) I think I saw every genre. I don’t really have 1 album I like but it’s one song from a few if you get me.

For me it's got to be lupe fiasco lasers album deluxe edition. And Hopsin No shame album. Can listen to every song on both and never get bored

Hawkwind 70s-80s era,they made music to trip with.

Pink Floyd The Dark Side of The Moon

Ozric Tentacles.

Totally agree. You can get lost in the Ozrics' soundscapes.

The first 2 Enigma albums. Fashionable? Probably not, but guaranteed safe, good vibes.

This tune has sent me to good places in the past. (The distorted harmonica/accordion at the end, oh my)

Liquid drum and bass and future garage

You can't go wrong with acid rap

I like Autechre
