    Everyone has different tastes but often our favourite albums don't coincide with what we nomally listen to...apparently.

    Anyways my two absolutes are Romeo and Juliet soundtrack the 2nd cd and Nirvana, unplugged in New York!

    Without a shadow of a doubt, my favourite album has to be, the only album i listen to practially once a week religiously:

    Counting Crows - August And Everything After

    Easily the best album i've ever heard!

    If you haven't heard it, find yourself a copy!

    Stones - Exile on Main St, just pipping Let it Bleed

    Lightning Seeds - Jollification - how rare an album that always cheers you up

    Beatles - Hard Days Night - Not as complicated as the other stuff, rather a masterclass in how to write 2 minute solid gold popsongs

    Daft Punk - Discovery - French people - ****e at fighting wars, feckin' grate at dance music

    Warren Zevon - Excitable Boy - Werewolves, rapists, headless CIA operatives....They're all there.

    jaysus, is there anyone over 16 here? jk;)

    Sonic Youth - Daydream Nation
    My Bloody Valentine - Loveless
    Smashing Pumpkins - Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness
    Public Enemy - It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back
    Van Morrison - Astral Weeks
    Lift To Experince - The Texas Jerusalem Crossroads
    John Coltrane - Giant Steps
    Bob Dylan - Highway 61 Revisited
    Miles Davis - Kind of Blue
    Radiohead - OK Computer

    Rolling Stones - Let It Bleed


    Watch as I get flamed: and the prize for the worst album of all time: Counting Crows - August and Everything After.
    I don't think buckley's grace is that good, I think nearly all of his father's albums are better than his. Happy/Sad is great.

    Now - watch me get flamed...
    David Bowie - Hunky Dory

    It's one album I just don't get. Ziggy - Great. Alladin Sane - Brilliant. Diamond Dogs - it's...er...The Dogs Danglies...

    But Hunky Dorey...Bar Changes, Life on Mars and Quicksand, I just can't get into it. I think that '..Pretty Things' has to have the most tuneless verse with the most self indulgent piano on it and the rest of it just doesn't come up to scratch. And yet every other feckin' bowie fan on the planet says it's the biz.

    Is there some sort of frame of mind a chap should be in or summat - I've listened to it loads of times, drunk, sober, doing the dishes, and I want to like it, but just can't...
