"OT- Favorite Album" , posted Mon 14 Apr 21:13

Been on sorta of a classic rock kick lately, and figured I'd be fun to ask what everyone's favorite album is and your favorite track on the album. That way we can all expand our listening choices...

You can pick any album, as long as it isn't a greatest hits or compilation album, but soundtracks are more than fair game.

Anyway, I'll start with my favorite album, The Beatles Abbey Road, with my favorite track being the mini-opera on Side-B. The last Beatles album, and it has solid songs from top to bottom and some great pure rock numbers. And the Mini-Rock opera is just a joy to listen too, as is Something (Harrison's only #1).

That's easy. Astro Creep 2000, by White Zombie.

No, it's not that easy... too much good music out there for me to pick that one, definitive album. If I had to choose one though I would probably say "London Calling" by The Clash with my favorite track being "Lost in the Supermarket". Almost every track on that album is great though, and I end up listening to it on my way to work more frequently than anything else.

Since I mainly listen to punk, here are some (but definately not all) of the other albums I was concidering. Kudos to anyone who actually knows all of them :P

-"Rocket to Russia", The Ramones
-"Omne Datum Optimum", The Templars
-"Underneath the Underground", Anti-Heros
-"Shock Troops", Cock Sparrer
-"The Truth, the Whole Truth, and Nothing but the Truth", The Business

*sigh* with both Joey Ramone and Joe Strummer gone I'm quickly losing my heroes...

Favorite album?

A movie soundtrack...

An album that gets no real respect because of it's incredibly famous theme song!

SHAFT!! The original movie soundtrack. Think you know classics? Think you might like that 70's free form rock, the soul, some modern jazz? This is the album you may want to take a look at! I waited for years for this album to get released on CD, supposedly the industry had some kind of issue with Issac Hayes and he was black balled. I have no idea if that rumor is true, but if you only know Issac Hayes as Chef. You'll be blown away by this album, he was the d@mn man back then! The shizz!

Runner up: Pink Floyd - 'Dark Side of the Moon'. A true classic! Followed by 'Animals'.

Temple of The Dog: Chris Cornell is always good, and this album specially rocked me. The grunge-blues mix in some themes is very effective.

Unida - Copying with the Urban Coyote: Senseless noisy stoner rock at its best. Not for everyone, but I like.

I like the song "Gangsta Bounce" on that one. That's my favorite track.

But right now I've been more in a rock mood so I've been listening to Audioslave (best rock CD I've heard in a LONG time) and Linkin Park's "Reanimation" remix CD. I think it's the best work they've done. My friend bought the new CD and it wasn't all that great to me.

for me its pretty much everything by radiohead, aphex twin
nin's later releases
interpols turn on the bright lights
dj spooky's songs of a dead dreamer
sigur rose's latest untitled album
....and a million other albums, its two hard to narrow it down to just one, because sometimes it really just all depends upon your mood

What!?!? Hybrid Theory! definitely one of my favorite albums, all of the tracks rock. Fenix TX's first album, New Found Glory's "Nothing Gold Can Stay", Dragon Ash's "Viva la Revolution", Blink 182's "Dude Ranch", Steady&Co.'s "Chambers", SR-71's "Now You See Inside" (Last Man on the Moon is my favorite track). all are so damn good, i can't pick just one

It think it might be The Pillows group; the album is "Little Busters"; the song is Blues Drives Monster

I'm also considering -from the same author- the album HAPPY BIVOUAC with the song "crazy sunshine"

By the way, The Pillows is a J-pop group;the one responsible by the FLCL sound track.

I'm going to list five of my favorite, since I don't want to go TOO overboard. These aren't really in a particular order.

"Num-Heavymetallic" - Number Girl
I love Number Girl. I can't get over my obsession with Number Girl. But they've never been released anywhere other than Japan, so it's an expensive obsession. If anyone uses XNap, and I'm on (as coinop_duck), just give me a holler and I'll let you leech some Number Girl stuff.

"Blonde on Blonde" - Bob Dylan
C'mon, it's undeniable.

"Shoso Strip" - Shiina Ringo
I want to have Shiina Ringo's babies.

"Bitches Brew" - Miles Davis
The first time I listened to this, I fell asleep (because I was really tired, not because of the album), and I woke up feeling like crap. I love it.

"Plastic Ono Band" - John Lennon
I never did like McCartney, but I think Lennon is one of the greatest songwriters. So I'm glad the Beatles broke up when they did.

There's no way I could choose one album... I like so many different styles of music (emo rock, prog metal, classical, soundtracks (game/movie), trance, etc.) and am INCREDIBLY fond of so many different types of artists (Radiohead, Coldplay, Incubus, A Perfect Circle, Tool, Ill Niño, Mr. Bungle, The Prodigy, Thomas Newman, Yasunori Mitsuda, etc.) that choosing one album would be like choosing between children.

No sir... I won't do it. :)
