Albums that you enjoy in every way

[Roobubba]

Meshuggah: Obzen.

Everything about that album kicks backside. :)

[Sancho]

Love those albums!  :D

(I'd include the third Badlands album too)

I don't have that one. But yeah, it's Jake and Ray :)

[dave_mc]

off the top of my head, winger in the heart of the young (:lol: ) and extreme pornograffiti. they're about the only two i can think of where it's good the whole way through. maybe appetite for destruction by guns n roses.

does the four seasons by vivaldi count as an album?

I was going to say Winger too (of course), but couldn't decide which album.  Not the first so much, but I really like the second, third and fourth in their different ways.

Halford's Resurrection. Killer slab of metal.

A fine choice, but not one that I enjoy in everyway - just the majority of them :)

[Frank]

Simon and Garfunkel - Bridge over troubled water

I ain't even joking

[Ian Price]

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Blood Sugar Sex Magik
Scorpions - Fly To The Rainbow
Kansas - Leftoverture and Point of Know Return
Scorpions - Fly to the Rainbow

Fly To The Rainbow twice Philly? Is it that good?

I must admit that I'm a little surprised that you have BSSM in there - this is the album that got me into RHCP and Frusciante in particular. A lot of their other stuff is hit and miss although I do love By The Way and Stadium Arcadium.

The Black Crowes - Amorica - I can't get enough of this album, everything (to me) is perfect, the songs are beautifully written & playing is amazing. This was the album that showed Marc Ford & Rich Robinson at the height of their country/blues finesse.

Ben Folds - Songs for Silverman - some of the most delicately written songs ever

Cry of love - Brother - welcome back blues based rock,this was one of the albums that made me want to play

[Philly Q]

Fly To The Rainbow twice Philly? Is it that good?

Oh what a dick I am.  :oops:  But yes, I love that album.

I've got increasingly disenchanted with the RHCP, but I absolutely love BSSM - in some ways they've become better songwriters subsequently, but they've lost so much of the energy they had before.

Cry of Love - Brother

I nearly put that in my list, but it was getting so long...

[Ian Price]

The Black Crowes - Amorica
