Favourite 25 Albums
 

A while ago there was a thread about your ten favourite albums. Of course, ten was too restrictive! So a top 25 may ease the case... also, I've been purchasing quite a few albums lately, and they're all awesome (well, almost all of them... Say You Will doesn't cut it for me I'm afraid), so I felt compelled to update my favourites. So here's my list (note the occasional equal values):

1. Days Of Future Passed - Moody Blues
I hope everyone owns this by now. If not, I'll buy it and force it upon you! ;)
1. Avalon - Roxy Music
Quite possibly the best new wave album ever created!
3. Tusk - Fleetwood Mac
We all know why.
4. Tango In The Night - Fleetwood Mac
I'm an 80s man... inasmuch as I love 80s music best, although I was born in '89.
5. Go Insane - Lindsey Buckingham
Remember, I'm an 80s man at heart! :D
6. Soul Cages - Sting
While his other albums were great, Sting really shined through on this one! Sadly, he wrote this masterpiece as a result of his father's death - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sting_%28musician%29#1990s.
7. Boys And Girls - Bryan Ferry
Another excellent new wave album, developed by a creative master! (And, yes, I love Bryan Ferry & Roxy Music's earlier stuff too!)
8. Dark Side Of The Moon - Pink Floyd
I expect I'll actually prefer Wish You Were Here to this, because "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" is my favourite song (along with "Wild West Hero" by ELO).
9. I, Robot - The Alan Parsons Project
This one I bought rather recently. If you like Dark Side Of The Moon, this is doubtlessly for you! But not because it sounds like a copy of it! :distress: It's just that, like the above album, it stretches the ideas about what music and albums should sound and be like... the same goes for the next album.
10. Tales Of Mystery And Imagination - The Alan Parsons Project
Technically, I haven't really listened to this album - I've listened to all of the songs from it on YouTube. But I'm getting it as a birthday present, so... :blob2: Also, "(The System Of) Doctor Tarr And Professor Fether" is a candidate for my favourite song of all time!
11. The Turn Of A Friendly Card - The Alan Parsons Project
Yeah, I'm a fan of them! How did you know?
12. Brothers In Arms - Dire Straits
I own all of their other studio albums, but this is the best! Although my favourite song of theirs (and nearly all time favourite song) is "Sultans Of Swing" from Dire Straits (eponymous).
13. Out Of The Cradle - Lindsey Buckingham
Always with the new musical directions... that's why you're my favourite artist, Lindsey!
14. American Pie - Don McLean
I actually adore "American Pie" the least on the album. While it's a fabulous song, he pretty much perfected his easy listening songs to my taste. That said, "Everybody Loves Me Baby", a rockier song, is my favourite of his, so... :shrug:
14. Tracy Chapman - Tracy Chapman
"Fast Car", just like the rest of the album, is simply beautiful. What else is there to say?
16. Rumours - Fleetwood Mac
I wonder how Ledgies would say this is their favourite FM album? Or, indeed, album? :shrug:
17. Fleetwood Mac - Fleetwood Mac
The album that started it all... the Rumours era, that is! :laugh:
18. Mirage - Fleetwood Mac
"...and you will fly like some little wing, straight back to the sun... the dream was never over, the dream has just begun... the dream has just begun..."
19. A New World Record - ELO
I expect I'll actually prefer Out Of The Blue to this, because "Wild West Hero" is my favourite song (along with "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" by Pink Floyd).
20. The Soft Parade - The Doors
Yes, their album that is usually disliked by fans! Personally, I love the extra brass and string instruments... they added a finish to their music their other albums lacked, imo.
21. Mystery To Me - Fleetwood Mac
I pretty much love every track on this album! (Or at least that's how I remember it...)
22. Heroes Are Hard To Find - Fleetwood Mac
Before there was Lindsey Buckingham, there was Bob Welch! (Or was it secretly Mick and John steering the creativity of the band?)
23. The Wild Heart - Stevie Nicks
I personally found Timespace a bit hard to get into, and I thought that I perhaps didn't like Stevie's solo songs that much... then I bought this... and I now realise that Timespace was simply poorly compiled, imo. Anyway, I love this album! And Stevie too!
24. No Angel - Dido
One of the few recent artists (well, 1999's close enough!) I listen to. Others include Norah Jones, Michael Buble, Jet, and John Mayer (well, all their earlier work anyway).
25. Life For Rent - Dido
Another beautiful album from her indeed! :)

And that wraps up this particular list! Of course the order is pretty subjective - if I were to have the patience to compile it again, especially after listening to all the albums again, it could come out looking rather different... in any case, while it took much longer to compile than the top ten, the end result is more satisfying and complete! :) Anyway, good luck with your list! :wavey:

Oh lord....I'll be back in a while......LOL:lol:

Mick

I started with a list of 45, and had to narrow it down. This was hard!

**Edit - Also, I should say, because it's important, that while these are my 25 favorite albums, ever, they are not necessarily representative of the 25 albums I'd want to listen to forever, to the exclusion of all else. I've heard each of these so many times that I know every word and note by heart. I haven't figured out yet whether 'favorite' and 'most familar' are really synonymous in this particular situation.

:thumbsup:.....:)......:(

Let's just leave it at Paramore and SYW :laugh::nod:

aw....okay....LOL

Haha sorry, but I saw both bands live and they disappointed me. I will say though that Mayday Parade is the better of the two, and has some very good songs.

oh well that's encouraging! Yeah - "When I Get Home You're So Dead" has been on repeat for a looong time!

I've just remembered another two fantastic albums, so I have to make adjustments (sorry Dido! :sorry:):
24. Graceland - Paul Simon
I remember repeatedly telling my mum and stepdad to listen to this masterpiece on the plane back from New Zealand (I listened to it on the way there - it was about the only album I could see that interested me, except for an ABBA compilation, out of desperation! :laugh:). Unfortunately, they never did... :rolleyes:
25. Tea For The Tillerman - Cat Stevens
While I still have yet to figure out what the album's title track is about, this is a superb album from a favourite artist of mine! :D

In my early teens when I was really getting into music there were albums that I listened to quite often. I guess you could say they are favorites since these were the artists that I listened to the most. By the mid 1990’s through the present, it is very rare that I find a full CD by artists that I love. As I’ve mentioned before in other related topics, these days I’m more into buying singles and making my own play list. There are only 2 CDs that come to mind in the past few years that I can honestly say I listen to in their entirety and that I enjoy, they are Miguel Migs “Those Things” (2007) and Shakira “She Wolf” (2009), oh and of course all of Kylie Minogue's releases in the 2000's :D

The list below is the albums / CDs I grew up listening to the most.

1981 – Olivia Newton-John / Physical
1983 – Stevie Nicks / The Wild Heart
1984 – Tina Turner / Private Dancer
1984 – Sheila E. / The Glamorous Life
1984 – Madonna / Like A Virgin
1985 – Lone Justice / Lone Justice
1985 – Heart / Heart
1985 – Pat Benatar / Seven The Hard Way
1985 – Stevie Nicks / Rock A Little
1986 – Bangles / Different Light
1986 – Lone Justice / Shelter
1987 – Belinda Carlisle / Heaven On Earth
1987 – Fleetwood Mac / Tango In The Night
1987 – Heart / Bad Animals
1989 – Madonna / Like A Prayer
1989 – Stevie Nicks / The Other Side Of The Mirror
1989 – Bangles / Everything
1989 – Bonnie Raitt / Nick Of Time
1990 – Mariah Carey / Mariah Carey
1991 – Paula Abdul / Spellbound
1991 – Belinda Carlisle / Live Your Life Be Free
1992 – Madonna / Erotica
1992 – Sade / Love Deluxe
1993 – RuPaul / Supermodel Of The World
1993 – Salt N Pepa / Very Necessary

This isn't in any particular order because I'm not into ranking my music so extensively. And I find it difficult to say why alot of the time, because it's such a personal and emotional thing for me. I tend to over involve myself to the point of crying with the artist, getting angry with them and all over the rainbow and back again.

1. Fleetwood Mac - A tie between Tusk and Tango In The Night
2. Lindsey Buckingham - Go Insane
3. Melanie Safka - Madrugada

7. The Beach Boys - Surfs Up
8. Loudon Wainwright III - Last Man On Earth
9. Billy Joel - Songs In The Attic
10. Buckingham Nicks - Buckingham Nicks
11. Patti Smith - Land
12. Alanis Morissette - I simply cannot decide between Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie and Feast On Scraps. They both got me through Highschool
13. Eva Cassidy - Live At Blues Alley
14. Counting Crows - This Desert Life
15. Jefferson Airplane - Volunteers
16. Joni Mitchell - Blue
17. Mott The Hoople - The Hoople

21. Rufus Wainwright - Want One
22. 4 Non Blondes - Bigger, Better, Faster, More
23. Cat Stevens - Teaser And The Firecat
24. Jeff Buckley - Grace
25. Eagles - The Long Run

Amazing album!!

I love Sarah McLachlan. Actually, to be honest with you, I kind of have a platonic girl crush on her too hehe. She's just so amazing. I wish she'd work more with Stevie Nicks. The music that would come out of that duet would blow my mind lol.

Oh I know!! Sarah has an impeccable voice, and her music is just...amazing. Afterglow is my favorite though. Only because of Answer, which is damn near perfect.

Ah, I remember this thread! :laugh: I've listened to so many new albums since... a fair few of my original entries would be shifted off a list of 25 now, and a few have been rediscovered (so to speak) and bumped up the list.
Just for the sake of it, I'll briefly write a top ten here (any more and I'll be hopelessly unable to demarcate):
1. Days Of Future Passed - The Moody Blues
2. In Search Of The Lost Chord - The Moody Blues

Nine Inch Nails - Broken - NIN was one of the first bands I got into on my own, separate from my mom's classic rock influences, and I will never forget the way Broken made her go absolutely berzerk, "THAT'S NOT MUSIC! THAT'S JUST NOISE!" Turns out I really like noise, Ma! Yay! Broken is not the best NIN album, technically-speaking - that is probably The Downward Spiral - but the nostalgic rush I get when I listen to it can't be beat.

I could keep going with this. It is maybe sad. ;)

Wow I need time to think about this.As I know Stevie/FM are on top.Probably the rest is country classics.

In Alphabetical Order By Artist:
1. In The Meantime- Christine McVie
Retirement never sounded so awesome.
2. Home- Dixie Chicks
I'm a huge Dixie Chicks fan. I think Home is the best country record of all time, and probably my second all time favorite.
3. Taking The Long Way- Dixie Chicks
4. The Open Door- Evanescence
I loved Evanescence so much in middle school lol.
5. Fleetwood Mac- Fleetwood Mac
The perfect summer album.
6. Rumours- Fleetwood Mac
Yes, I listen to the re-release with Silver Springs on it.
7. Tusk- Fleetwood Mac
Perhaps the single greatest album of all time.
8. Lungs- Florence & The Machine
9. Ceremonials- Florence & The Machine
I love this album so much. It's quickly approaching Tusk for my all time favorite.
10. Torches- Foster The People
11. American Idiot- Green Day
12. Live Through This- Hole
I love the raw intensity of this album.
13. Celebrity Skin- Hole
Conversely, I love the polished pop sound of this one.
14. Hybrid Theory- Linkin Park
15. Van Lear Rose- Loretta Lynn
Can you tell I like female country singers? Lol.
16. Revolution- Miranda Lambert
My favorite country artist besides the Dixie Chicks.
17. Four The Record- Miranda Lambert
Love this album. Saw Miranda live back in March, she rocks!
18. Nevermind- Nirvana
19. In Utero- Nirvana
20. Final Fantasy VII Official Soundtrack- Nobuo Uematsu
Love, love, love the Final Fantasy series, especially VII-X. I think this is the best video game score of all time, with the possible exception of Final Fantasy X. Aerith's Theme is one of my favorite pieces to play on the piano.
21. Hell On Heels- Pistol Annies
22. Body Talk- Robyn
Not huge into dance music, but I love this record.
23. Born To Fly- Sara Evans
24. Bella Donna- Stevie Nicks
It has only been in the last 4 months that I've come to appreciate the awesomeness that is How Still My Love. Now I think it's one of her greatest songs.
25. In Your Dreams- Stevie Nicks
The kind of album that can only be made by someone with great creativity, spirit, and life experience. A true gem.

So pleased to see some love for Sarah on here! I've been listening to her a lot lately Fumbling Towards Ecstasy, Surfacing, Mirrorball, Afterglow and Closer (Best Of) - brilliant.

Travis - I will get you listening to pre-2000 Kylie! :p

Here's my list, in no particular order:
