Post your three favorite albums.

[freeeekyyy]

Tool: Lateralus


Honestly, that's all I can think of right now. I'm not as familar with some classic bands as I should be, and certainly not their albums, even when I do know their music. Standards for albums are different than standards for singles, and few albums have the continuity to qualify as truly great.

I love a good album. I hate when you hear a great song by a new artist, excitedly find the album it's on and then discover that every song on it sounds pretty much the same. A bad album can ruin a song for me. Right now my favorite albums are:

1. Hunky Dory -David Bowie. I never get tired of this, I've probably listened to this once a week for the last year.
2. Talking Book - Stevie Wonder. He helped me unlock my inner sap. I just love the way Stevie honestly expresses himself.
3. Blonde on Blonde - Bob Dylan. It's Bob Dylan, I gave my daughter a middle name based off a track.

Honorable mention goes to "The Beatles" (The White Album), it's a mess and I love it.

I would have picked Station to Station for Bowie and Songs In The Key Of Life for Stevie Wonder.....


These are only my favorites right now
1. Sunflower(1970) by The Beach Boys - sweet harmonies and diverse songs, music with positive early '70s vibes
2. There's A Riot Goin On(1971) by Sly and The Family Stone - druggy vibe and funky basslines, primitive drum machines that sound better than '80s-present drum machine sounds
3. Court and Spark(1974) by Joni Mitchell - jazzy mellow '70s California pop

^ I like my '70s music, if I could add some more, it would be Zenyatta Mondatta(1980) by The Police, Off The Wall(1979) by Michael Jackson, The Village Green Preservation Society(1968) by The Kinks, and Victoria Land(1984) by Cocteau Twins.

At the moment...

Bob's first masterpiece, such a diverse collection of gems!

An underrated McCartney solo album with a killer B-side:

And last but not least, Anais Mitchell's folk opera that tells a variation on a Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice. It features Bon Iver and Ani DiFranco, among others.

This is the only album that would consistently be in every top three I can think of.

 

[Stansmith]

A few additions....

 

[Dannik]

miles' Kind Of Blue is super incredible,
but i am much more into later bebop and hard bop...
and Bob Dylan 's later Highway 61 is one of my very favorites.
