OK, I know the title dates me a bit... just wondering if you had to pick only one original (not greatest hits/compilation) album/cd/tape as your favorite of all time, what would it be? Include album art if possible.

I'll start... yea, this is tough... Being a long-time Zeppelin fan, I'd have to go with IV (even though I've grown tired of Black Dog and Rock and Roll). Great all around work. Here's the art:

Picking one is impossible, but this one had a big influence on me when I was in college.

I'm picking two, both of which never get old to me. Ever.



I got reamed on another online community for liking this album, because "Stick 'Em Up" was a big hit on MTV2 for a little while. But the songs are great, the remixes are great, and I've only found one song that I don't really love by Quarashi. So sue me. What sucks is that they weren't very big in the US (but were huge in both Iceland and Japan), so they have singles and albums that aren't available here. At all.



I'm a girl, so I'm allowed to love this one.
Sell or send me your vintage Mac things if you don't want them.

I'd be hard-pressed to have a 'favorite', but I saw Tool last Thursday (for the first time in way to long) so I say Ænima.

Above all of my favorites, Beatles, Neil Young, Led Zep, Petty etc. my favorite of all time is still Dark Side of the Moon, Pink Floyd. Don't care for much else they did though.

Have to go with two here. Choosing an absolute favorite is nearly impossible. Choosing these two was hard enough.

It's almost impossible to name one favorite - but this comes to mind and would definitely be top 5...

That album does kick ass, but Mother's Milk kicks its ass.

I find that a very hard decision to make as there are quite a few bands I like. Even more so than rock or pop music, I fancy classical music.


If I were to choose my favourite Rock album, I'd say it's this one (though tomorrow it might very well be a different album by Pearl Jam as I love all of their work):



If I were to choose a classical album, I'd have to go with Prokofiev's Violin Concerto No. 2; Violin Concerto No. 1

I always enjoyed the 3MTA3 on the tail of the plane (EATME when viewed in a mirror)

I like Paul's Boutique cover too- it folded out into a 360º panoramic view of the street corner

Never noticed the EATME thing. Then again, half the lyrics were new again one I hit college.
