#1 Album Of All Time

So I've been looking through Rolling Stones 500 greatest albums of all time. Here are the top 5.




5. Rubber Soul - The Beatles

4. Highway 61 Revisited - Bob Dylan

3. Revolver - The Beatles 
2. Pet Sounds - The Beach Boys
1. Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band - The Beatles

Now, its pretty obvious these were all released decades ago, and there certainly seems to be a "Beatles Bias". But I can guarentee you if I were to ask people born in the 80s and 90s what their favourite album of all time is, they'd come up with very different responses. So, let me here it,

What Is YOUR #1 Album Of All Time?

  1. One of the top in my view would be "69 Love Songs" by the Magnetic Fields. It's weird, excessive, eclectic. There's such a variety that everyone will enjoy at least a few songs.

  7. Sgt. Peppers is #1? Man...
    There's so many I could choose. Pink Floyd "The Wall" and "Let it Bleed" by the Stones come to mind.

  8. Such a hard question.. to we base it on what we enjoy hearing? Or what we associate the album to?

  9. I don't have a "number one album", but I enjoy certain albums more than others. I also think that having an official "number one album" list is silly, as many people have different musical opinions, and will always disagree.

    ReplyDelete
  15. Maybe some Leonard Cohen or some David Bowie, or Velvet Underground?

  16. The album "California" by Mr. Bungle is probably my favorite.

  17. I really can't say, as I haven't had an actual album in years, ever since YouTube to iPod converters came about lol.
    At the moment for me, it may be Cage The Elephant's self titled album, followed by Mumford & Sons' Sigh No More (English group, they became huge in London). Things change too often to keep a favourite. Following!

  18. How dare you make me choose one?!

  21. Ziggy Stardust: The Motion Picture.

  22. Never liked the rolling stones list. I prefer The Wire's top album list. Soundtracks For The Blind by Swans is my favorite album.

    ReplyDelete
  23. oh man...to hard to choose..but pretty much every album by phil collins.

    ReplyDelete
  24. It's really hard to say. Remember that the concept of an album has been falling out of favor for a while, so the more modern you get, the less popular albums in general are. We've had singles, and special releases, and "best of" albums, and now we have digital downloading.

  25. The Beatles are soooo good. They definitely deserve the praise

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete

  29. The Beatles are pretty awesome. But i'm not a big fan of the beach boys

    ReplyDelete
  30. ooh, lonely hearts club. My personal favourite album, as an album not as a band, is Waking Up by One Republic. Absolutely beautiful.
    Anyway, nice to see you have a music blog too! Please check mine out :D

  31. Too embarrassing to tell you mine, but definitely +1 for the Revolver pick

    ReplyDelete
  32. Bob Dylan is an absolute legend for me. I agree with number one though.

    ReplyDelete
  33. I LOVED Revolver by the Beatles. But to each his own I guess.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Ha. Beatles are 3 out of the top 5. That's funny.

    ReplyDelete
  35. Not to bad of a list, hard to really make one of these though, to many good albums imo

    ReplyDelete
  36. #1 seems like everyone's favorite haha

    ReplyDelete
  37. Very debatable, but possibly correct.

    ReplyDelete
  38. Pendulum like a commentator said "hold you colour"
    How to Hack Life.

    ReplyDelete
  39. My favorite all time album would have to be Boston's self titled first album. Its the first record I bought, and I love listening to it constantly

    ReplyDelete
  40. I'll always enjoy the Beatles

    ReplyDelete
  41. You know what's a damn shame? That's I've heard those Glee singles passed the Beatles in the number of off the chart singles. Sometimes I just wish we could go back to how it was in the past.

  42. Can't stand The Beatles.
