Time for some more reminiscing all. What is your favorite album/s of all time.
Let's not narrow you down to one or two - feel free to go a little more if you want.
Mine, not necessarily in order:

Bat Out of Hell - Meatloaf (when he could still sing)
Physical Graffiti - Led Zeppelin
Graceland - Paul Simon
Hot August Night - Neil Diamond
Piano Man - Billy Joel

I could think of many others that are so close....

ACDC -Back in Black
Rush - Permanent Waves
Def Leppard - High n Dry
Harry Manx - Dog My Cat
Buckcherry - 15
Scorpions - Sting in the Tail
Ray Wylie Hubbard - no particular album , my own compilation
Niel Diamond - Hot August Night

This is just the tip of a massive iceberg but certainly in the top part of my playlist
I have a very wide diverse collection of music
Probably like most people my taste changes through time. A reflection on life at that point i guess.

I wonder how many others will list Hot August Night... This was a favourite of my mums( when it came out) so i heard it a lot.
And i love it . I have raised many eyebrows and copped comments from my friends but i dont care ... I play it LOUD & PROUD (thats a Kiss pun) :lol:
I remember it being quite scratchy and she bought another copy. When i was about 18 there was a deal on the radio /record store? to swap old albums for a new copy on CD :D
Still got it ... Still play it ;)
 
I have 103 CD's by this bloke and love them all.

I'm with Sandta... Back in Black. Interesting mix there mate. ACDC and Neil Diamond. :D Both great albums.
Too many to list. My most recent favourite is the Pandora app/website. Whatever music you want, wherever and whenever you want. We often put Standup comedy on when sitting out the back.
 
id have to say OASIS - STOP THE CLOCk. would have to be mine.
however my father has some pretty cool consistent cd's
sting
billy joel.
electric light orchestra
bob marley
and the list goes on
 
Im with Ramjet & Sandta, AC/DC Back In Black, Angels Face To Face, Yes Neil Diamond Hot August Night (went to see him twice with mum who also had two Hot August Night albums).Also Machine Gun Felatio Paging Mr Strike and a few compelation albums made up of all MGF songs. Also like Pink Floyd, and my favourite old time song was and still is Dream Weaver by Gary Wright. oh yeah, and Stevie Wright as well (Black Eyed Bruiser).

Cracka.
 
Anything by Steve Vai....... I have about 100 fav albums, this weeks fav is Eric Johnson's "Ah Via Musicom". Wanna hear one of the best guitar solo's ever? Then listen from 8:10 then from 9:34. Also 14:24 is killer.

AC/DC, Angels, is all great rock n roll. Zappa, Floyd, many others. Another fav album is one I mixed for a young bloke I know, band is called Mandala, samples can be found on JJJ unearthed.

Explorer385. Thanks for starting this topic. Just as your movie topic got me watching some old favourites this topic has given me a huge list of music I haven't heard in a long time.

Thanks :D
