wim Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 (edited) If you had to make the choice - what is your favorite album and why? Mine would be Miles Davis - Kind of Blue. Why? Because it is solid... and it keeps on giving. To be honest - I don't think there is a definitive best. But still - if you had to choose - what would be yours? edit: linked Kind of Blue.

Guest Sime Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 Tesseract's "Altered State" Apart from some of the most brilliant music I've heard, the emotion of the album ties in with the feelings I was having when my dog of 16 years died in 2013, and I still struggle with it. Bloody dogs, they get to ya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ben54b Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 Depends on the mood. Metallicas Through the never live album Most of my favourite tracks, but with a much heavier drum presence than the originals. Or nirvana mtv unplugged in New York. Again most of my favourites and some awesome covers Sorry for not picking one. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tubularbells Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 No brainer, Mike Oldfield Tubular Bells. Rollercoaster of styles and emotion which has all I require in a piece of music. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kommandant33 Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 If this is a desert island kind of thing... i.e trapped on a desert island - CD player with solar power, but only 1 CD... Would you pick your favourite CD, listen to it over an over and die hating it Or pick a CD you already hate, keep it on repeat - maybe eventually liking it, or probably just die hating it even more.Regardless - one CD that I can play over and over is Ween - Quebec. Not my favourite CD, not Ween's best, but it has great re-playablity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janjuggler Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Hi All After a little consideration selected: A mix of various styles, guitar virtuosity, Freddie's great vocal range, and a completeness as an album.... JJ 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZEN MISTER Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 It was this classic - from 1967 to around 2005. It still sounds ' out of time' and satisfies on just about every level. Then, around 2005, I developed my ongoing obsession with this album. If I had to give a geographic centre to my musical focus, it would definitely be Euro-centric, and not U.S. influenced. I think Edgar was/ is a supreme composer and musician, helped along the way by some brilliant players. This album is the perfect example of the moments when the classical form intersects with the 'modern'. The three main movements start with a dissonance that coalesces into three sweeping, epic passages. There are nods to a number of Euopean symphonists, and tips of the hat to the minimalists, and the sound collagists. The visuals in your head are half the trip. Even the encore, ' Dominions' is a stand alone work of brilliance. Having banged on about this album a few times, I will spare everyone and not mention it again.

Rural Rat Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Easy choice for me. In my opinion the best they have ever done. Living away from home as a 15 year old RAAF apprentice I seriously cherish these memories. A major part of my life. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
