Post Your Favorite Album Of All Time

[Rongi]

I know this thread has probably been done to death, but I've discovered cool shit from threads like these so um fuck you ok?

The Rolling Stones - Sticky Fingers
http://www.madisonavenuejournal.com/images/beach2.jpg

It seems like the tolkien answer for favorite Rolling Stones album is "Exile On Main St." I dont get why either. Granted, Exile is a masterpiece and blah blah blah but it is WAY too cluttered and murky to be my favorite.

Sticky Fingers is just awesome from start to finish, not a single bad track on the whole damned thing. It's also one of the few CDs in my collection that I can keep coming back to.

I know all the indie rock/electronica kids are going to come in and call me a faggot but i dont care!

[Cfr5]

I always go back to Pink Floyd's Animals.

[Guitar Woman]

I can't think of an all time favorite, but Abbey Road is probably pretty high on my list.

Soul Coughing's Ruby Vroom.

[FartinMowler]

I must have listened to this album a million times

Extremely hard to say, because there are at least 3 albums that I could listen 'till armageddon:

(His 1st album was awesome, but this one has more songs that reach the "awesome" status)

(Same as with Darude, but opposite. DSS' 1st album is slightly better than their 2nd. The 2nd one still kicks major ass though)

Every song in this album rocks my socks. Probably the best non-techno/trance album ever - for me, that is

Slint - Spiderland and Neutral Milk Hotel - In the Aeroplane Over the Sea. They're almost polar opposites stylistically but I love them both.

I saw Slint in London last night and it was fantastic. They played a new song that was pretty good too, so hopefully they're back together full time.

[Angryhydralisk]

Hard to say, but Melvins - Lysol definitely comes to mind. Six songs, two being droning bits, three phenomenal covers, and a last bit of goodness make up one 31-minute track. I bought this on my 21st birthday and my jaw just dropped.

But then again, I've done this with a good handful of stuff in recent years, so favorite album ever is kinda impossible.

[Krythor]

See, I don't think you like it so much as you just want to tell us about it, and how it exists.

[Magreaux]

Hey Angryhydralisk, could you tell me something about that band Boris I keep hearing about? I hear all the cool kids like 'em and I wanna be a cool kid too. How about Sunn O))? What is with that O)) thing at the end, huh? I mean, REALLY?

I'll be a jerk and assume that none of you even know that my favourite album exists so I won't bother to post it here because I do not feel like educating anyone right now. Instead I will choose something at random from my CD collection.

Basically, downloading Boris and Sunn O))) releases is acceptable...unless you have a yacht or car you really, REALLY don't need to feed your interests in Melvins-rip-off with random art influences (Boris) or Earth rip-off with random influences (Sunn O))))

[noob3]

melvins/earth are just as lame as boris/sunn

[Rongi]

All those bands are awesome, save for maybe Sunn O)))

[noob3]

i could never really get into melvins except for the song honeybucket

earth are okay but they got boring quick it's always like to me they could have done what they were doing.. better. and sunn are cooler than earth because they wear creepy robes when they play live :o

[Magreaux]

Hey AngryHydralisk thanks for the "go-ahead" to download some Boris. I definitely do NOT own a yacht, haha! Anyway I don't want to ruin this thread any more than I already have but just for some clarification, which Melvins album were Boris ripping off when they did that split with Tomsk 7? Or when they did Feedbacker? Or Dronevil? Let me know because those are the Melvins albums that i'd like to hear. Don't worry dude i'm not being sarcastic at all, I SWEAR! THANKS.

[noob3]

don't listen to that stuff, man listen to better stuf like justin timberlake

[Magreaux]

Dude I listen to just about everything, don't worry this is a phase. :o

[Angryhydralisk]

Hey AngryHydralisk "go-ahead" download some Boris. I definitely do NOT own a yacht, haha! Anyway I want to ruin this thread more than but, which Melvins album were Boris ripping off when they did that split with Tomsk 7? Or when they did Feedbacker? Or Dronevil? Let me know because I'm gonna catch all the Melvins albums that i'd like to hear. Don't worry dude I SWEAR! THANKS.

I haven't even heard that split. I've heard the Barebones split and the melvins-influence is there. But by then they gave the drummer some horse tranquilizers and did their own thing. Speaking of the drummer, I'd recommend the new 10" / DVD that is ridiculously cheap for a Boris item (26 bucks) just for all the hilarious yells and grunts he does during all the songs.

i have alot of favorites, but this is one is REALLY good. go download it! they need to come out with a new one!

(also because ninja said something :P)

[sloth]

angryhydralisk have you heard Responsible Tonsils its the Boris guitarist's sideproject with Tit Fidget and Lipzzz Magnifique ($45 from Squatting Ponce Records i couldnt believe it!). its pretty awesome id say its got a kind of Shitting Brass vibe going on with a bit of pre-90s Monkey Tantrum thrown in for good measure. if you like what he did with Trevor McDonald's Cock Allotment then definitely check it out man and let me know what you think!

[sloth]

I saw Slint in London last night and it was fantastic. They played a new song that was pretty good too, so hopefully they're back together full time.
someone told me Slint were playing but I thought it was a load of bollocks. can't believe I missed it!

never gets old for me!

[Rongi]

Oceanic? Really? I think Celestial is leaps and bounds better

[noob3]

yeah oceanic is where they started to become really boring & awful. it's like the album that started the awful decline into whatever the fuck they are doing now (some shit they can open for tool with :lol)

[sloth]

what the hell man

WHAT THE HELL

yeah their new stuff is shit but oceanic is the best album isis made. it just fits together better, in my opinion. celestial is good but its more like a load of songs. just like the EPs. we are really going to have to agree to disagree on this one pal cos this really gets my marbles rolling

[noob3]

i guess you can agree to it being your favorite isis album, i can agree on that. but you are wrong to think that is a good album, because it isn't. it sucks. i could listen to celestial, red sea, & misquito control over & over. most if not all of the songs on those albums are actually listenable. oceanic is shit, just like everything they released after it

i know people who like oceanic but i can't stomach it, it's a pile. awful, awful cd. i would be more descriptive in telling you why it sucks, but after i listened to it 2 or 3 times, i put it back in it's case and never went back. i just remember it being really boring & aaron sounded like he was farting into the mic?

I could never pick just one album. Hell, I would have a serious struggle trying to come up with my favorite 50 albums. But this one would definately make the cut. Every single song on it is a a masterpiece, and I've never heard anything quite like it. Very original.

Six Demon Bag by Man Man is radtacular.

Man, I have to pick just one? Probably Tool-Lateralus, though recently a lot of stuff's been threatening to take its place.
