FabSwingers.com forum: Favourite Album

Scunthorpe

Hi everyone, Inspired by the Rock Music thread that's running at the moment, I thought I would pose the question What's Your Favourite Album... and why?

I've got a few albums that I really like, and two in particular that are favourites.

---Bonjovi's Slipery When Wet---

This album was a huge factor in my journey into becoming a musician. It's filled with hit songs and great album tracks. There's no track that you could describe as "A Filler", and I firmly believe that any track would have achieved chart success if it had been released as a single.

--- Alice Cooper's TRASH ---

I bought this album because I really loved the track Poison, but the entire album soon became a firm favourite. Although it's filled with hits, the Album in it's entirety is a work of art. There are loads of great songs, but it's the way it flows through the track list that really got me hooked... this is the one album that I will always try to listen through in track order.

Pink Floyd - The Wall I remember watching the film and desperately wanting the album. I had to wait for my birthday then played it endlessly.

Chris Rea - Dancing With Strangers I loved one album track and in those days there were no streaming sites. I bought the album and loved it ever since.

Lastly

Propaganda- A secret Wish as a heavy metal fan I only listened to rock music but one day at a girlfriend house she played the album (she was heavily into German art house music and scene) and I loved every single track immediately.

Looking forward to this thread as I love new recommendations.

I'm more a various artist greatest hits fellow.

Though younger I remember being able to listen to a few albums start to finish without interruption.

Fugees - the score

WuTang - 36 chambers

Beasty boys - hello nasty

One day I'll probably listen to 'Darkside of the moon' by pink Floyd whilst simultaneously watching 'the wizard of Oz', just to see if the rumours are true

Here. There.

Manic Street Preachers - Holy Bible. The best lyrics you will ever ever hear set to music, on an album which returns more nuance on each listening. It didn’t get the appreciation it deserved on release but now recognised by music critics as a masterpiece and probably among the best albums ever.

Transsexual Transylvania

Dead Can Dance - "The Serpents Egg"

A difficult call, given that "Within the Realm of a Dying Sun" and "Aion" are similarly transcendetal. But this album contains "The Host of Seraphim" and "Severance", which are my two favourite DCD songs. There is no finer album more worthy of the terms "cathedral of sound" and "timeless". This is the creativity of a peerlessly creative band at its peak.

Y&T - Mean Streak.

Shark Island - Law of the order.

Metallica - Master of Puppets.

Fields of the Nephilim - The Nephilim

Marillion - Script for a Jesters Tear

The Cure - Disintegration.

Far too many for me to pick an outright fave. What is the criteria?! I couldn't pick a top five! ...all depends on mood, memories, time, activity (just call me 'Rob Gordon')

But, I have said before so will say again; Holst's 'the Planets', if I had to listen to only one album for the rest of my life, would be the one.

I think it was Brian Eno (I didn’t cheat, honest)!

My big loves are other genres (soul, jazz, classical etc), but my favourite album is:

Hejira - Joni Mitchell

Amazing, atmospheric songs about travel and escape. Her wonderful lyrics and the imagery they create are a true joy.

Chocolate Starfish and the Hotdog Flavored Water by Limp Bizkit.

Not because it is the best musically (although it still slaps), but because it opened the door to a whole new world for me, the first track on the soundtrack of my life 🤟❤️‍🔥

Great album

I thought I would get roasted for saying it out loud!

Slipknot self-titled album is another one of my faves and I still listen to it regularly too, got me through some tough times. Full of amazing tracks but I think eyeless has to be my top pick.

There are but three perfect albums that are all killer/no filler:

The Band, eponymous second album (the brown one). Every song is perfect, there's no arguing it.

The Beatles, Revolver. As above although the talents are more diverse. From McCartney cloying sweetness to Lennon psychedelia to Harrison mysticism. All at that 1966 peak where pop became rock and before it got up itself, they're still three minute songs.

Television, Marquee Moon. One of only two albums (Velvet Underground banana album being the other) where next to nobody bought it but everyone who did formed a band. If that's not the best tribute to your creativity I can't think of a better one.

If I have to choose one album then it is Close to the Edge by Yes. As a callow youth I was told by a 6th form prefect that it was a perfect album where they never played a wrong note. As he was a prefect, it must have been true!

"I have a favourite of most of my favourite bands but my overall favourite band is Maiden, and my favourite album of theirs is Killers. So

Iron Maiden - Killers. "

While this is factually true, in the moment true , not so much.

After far, far too long, just played Floyd DSOTM.

Sometimes Bands come out with something perfect

I don't think Doolittle would be in his top 100. More likely to see the flaws in his own work

Never mind the Bollocks here's the Sex Pistols.

First heard it in late 1977 or early 78.

Set me on the path to punk rock, made me the person I am today and I even made a living from off it.

I can literally say Punk Rock was the best thing that happened to me, led me to find my wife 38 years ago, it paid for my house, cars n still making a living from it and I owe it to the first time I heard the album and discovered the punk rock attitude.

It's amazing the power that music has to inspire & motivate... I think it was a combination of Elvis films & Bat Outta Hell that stirred my desire to make music.

Favourite singer Johnny cash

Favourite gym workout album is slipknot Iowa

However my favourite album of all time is the streets, a grand don’t come for free. I love that each song tells the next part of a story, an album I can resonate with from my youth. I love how it’s written and told

Like everyone else- far too tricky to just pick one

Portishead- Dummy

Prodigy- Fat of the land

Stone Roses- self titled (although you need the American release, which gives you Elephant Stone and Fools Gold- Then delete don’t stop and Elizabeth my dear when you digitise it, as they were obviously too stoned to put anything decent in those slots)

The Family CAt- Tell em we’re surfin (spanking gorgeous indie rock, should that be your thing)

Pete Namlook- Air 1

Vibrations of the Sun- Am in fading fast or flashing like lightning

Siouxsie & The Banshees- Peepshow

Could probably find half a dozen more if I had time
