Albums that you enjoy in every way

[HTH AMPS]

I'm not gonna wheel out the old favourites, but instead list some more recent albums that come damn close to being perfect...

* Black Spiders - Sons Of The North
* Glasvegas - Glasvegas
* The Joy Formidable - The Big Roar
* The Union - The Union
* PJ Harvey - Stories From The City....

Ok, so PJ Harvey's album is from a while back, but its just amazing so fu*ck it.

[Frank]

Simon and Garfunkel - Bridge over troubled water

I ain't even joking

+1 good choice Frank

because no one else will :(

I love that album.  But struggle with some of her other stuff.

[Roobubba]

does the four seasons by vivaldi count as an album?

If we're doing that, then Beethoven's Piano Sonata Number 8 (Pathetique) and Schubert's Trout Quintet are two of my all time favourite pieces from start to finish. I can't play the Pathetique flawlessly yet, but I'll hopefully get there this year. I know it now and can muddle my way through.

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.

yeah seventeen kinda kills the first one for me o_O Killer solo, terrible choice of lyrics o_O Also I just think i like the second album better, too.

Oh and this might be controversial, but chinese democracy is actually really good (since I mentioned appetite for destruction). I know it took forever to make... but if taking 10 years to make an album guaranteed as good a one as that, I'd say all bands should consider it :lol:

Oh and kiss crazy crazy nights is pretty good all the way through :lol:

I'm not so fond of beethoven's piano stuff (apart from the moonlight, which is awesome), but his symphonies are just sublime. I guess the 6th would qualify for "good all the way through", as well.

The trout is awesome, I think i prefer schubert's unfinished symphony, though.

Oh and kiss crazy crazy nights is pretty good all the way through :lol:

No, No, No.

Seems appropriate, as that is the only song that stinks on that album.  :lol:

[Afghan Dave]

I think Scorpions Humanity Hour, Vol. 1 is pretty f**kin' brilliant.

Second album has got "Baptized by Fire" and "You Are the Saint, I Am the Sinner" to mess things up, though.  Other than those, it's solid gold.

Yeah, I agree.  I'm not saying everyone who slagged it off was "wrong", but I think it's a brilliant album.  When it (eventually!) came out I listened to it every day for weeks, which I almost never do.

Btw, does anyone know if Buckethead ended up playing part on the album? I heard rumors about that once...

[Philly Q]

Yeah, I can't remember who plays on which tracks, but the lead guitar on the album is divided up between Buckethead, Robin Finck and Ron Thal.

[dave_mc]

^ yeah. I think it's mainly buckethead and finck, thal only gets to play on a couple of songs (which is a shame, as thal kicks ass). But finck is actually really good, i prefer his solos to buckethead's, I think.

there's another cr@ppy ballad on it which isn't much good, iirc. I mean I like ballads when they're done well, but that one's terrible. Had to look it up, it's "Under one condition". o_O

same here :)

[Mr. Air]

I'll stretch it a bit farther back than the last decade.

Guy Forsyth - Love songs for and against. If you haven't heard it go get it now.
All three RATM albums with original material.
RHCP - Blood, Sugar, Sex, Magik
Keith Caputo - Died Laughing
Goldfinger - Hang Ups
Bon Jovi - Blaze of Glory (Young Guns II soundtrack)
Kashmir - Travelogue
Beastie Boys - Check Your Head
Snoop Dogg - Doggy Style
Blue Junction - 22:17 Live in Aarhus
More or less all the albums Incubus have done.

Yep, me too. I think Let England Shake is massively, massively overrated. More so than Exile on Main Street.

[horsehead]

Bon Jovi - Blaze of Glory (Young Guns II soundtrack)

Just to be  dick it's Jon Bon Jovi's album

You two are the only people ive ever met that can listen that album. I'm glad im not the only one who liked it!
