[Music] Name one better.

[Deportivo Seagull]

I mean, it’s all subjective but… ‘Highway 61 Revisited’ has what I believe to be the greatest song of all time (Like A Rolling Stone) on it so I’ll say that. Honourable mentions to Rumours and The White Album.

It is the greatest song of all time (we’ll certainly mine). I’d have to go with Before the Flood, live album from Bob Dylan and the Band.

My god, music is so subjective.

Many thanks that it is, many albums mentioned on here are well below par....imho of course.

 

[Icy Gull]

I am with the OP to a degree, but depending on my mood the best album I have ever heard changes daily

Exile IS a fantastic album made in a mobile studio in what sounds like complete drug crazed mayhem at Villa Nelcotte in the South Of France. How they pulled it off I have no idea.

Gram Parsons was down there with them and was talked into leaving the Byrds by Keith Richards and nobody will ever convince me that he didn’t have a massive influence on this song from Exile that he got zero credit for. It was such a change from anything the Stones had ever done before.

Best album is too hard to qualify but it is a great album.

Glad you are enjoying.

[METALMICKY]

Thin Lizzy - Live and Dangerous!

 

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

There is no "best album", There are people's favourites but a definitive "best"? No, that's not how art works.

Shows what you know...

 

[zefarelly]

If I picked a best or favourite album every day for a month you'd probably have upwards of 28 albums.

Exile is good, History of Otis Redding, CSN, White album, Yes, Ziggy, exodus, SF sorrow, Forever changes . . .loads up there, just different

 

[raymondo]

I've never had a favourite album

There are Loads that I consider masterpieces, but I couldn't pick between them.

A few that instantly spring to mind;

Closer
Wild Planet
Surfer Rosa
Combat Rock
Call of the West
Mind Bomb
Eight Legged Groove Machine
Stories from the City Stories from the sea
Dig Lazarus Dig

Edit:

Blood on the tracks
Blue Sunshine

Yay...I've heard of Blood on the Tracks!!

 

[raymondo]

AJA, Steely Dan.

It was the first album I ever bought. Nothing has matched it since.

There was even a band who named themselves after one of the tracks - Deacon Blue.

Yep, Aja would be in my Top 10 too, absolutely. I'd never have one fave though...totally depends on my mood.

Exile On Main Street isn't even the best double album, let alone the best album ever.

Yep. Best double album Blonde on Blonde.

 

[DavidinSouthampton]

Agree with all the favourite rather than best ever stuff.

I could name any number of things I prefer:
Cream - Wheels of Fire
The Allman Brothers Band live at Fillmore East.
Stanley Road - Paul Wellet

That's a great list. So many people stop listening to anything new after their early 20s. I'm in my 60s and started listening to music in the late 60s. Every decade has produced fantastic music, not just the one you were a teenager in.

In my last years at Balfour Primary, the main playground arguments were Beatles v Stones and Heinz Beans v HP Baked Beans.
