There's Nothing Wrong With Love, or Post Nothing, or The Body The Blood The Machine.

I'll probably think of something else that trumps them later... or I wont. It's hard to answer, you know?

Mezzanine, Dopethrone, Fun House, Zen Arcade, Blackwater Park... great picks.

The Duke · « **Reply #26 on:** 04 Nov 2010, 15:53 »

Born to Run.

Or maybe Live 1975-85.

I have no idea what meme you are referring to, but I've been meaning to buy Spiderland since forever. Is it really as legendary as everyone says?

it's pretty much worth the price for Nosferatu Man and Good Morning, Captain alone, but I don't know if it really lives up to the hype as a whole

TheFuriousWombat · « **Reply #34 on:** 04 Nov 2010, 23:23 »

is it really a meme if it's really so geographically concentrated, so to speak?

Inlander · « **Reply #35 on:** 04 Nov 2010, 23:36 »

If somebody absolutely forced me to pick one album to keep for my whole life it'd probably be

Just the most perfect album.

If I could cheat, I'd say Thrice- The Alchemy Index

for a real answer... Either Artist in the Ambulance by Thrice or That Within Blood Ill-Tempered by Shai hulud

Cartilage Head · « **Reply #39 on:** 05 Nov 2010, 02:04 »

Hardest ever.

I'll do it by genre.

Punk - X-Ray Spex "Germ-Free Adolescents"

Folk, Punk - Andrew Jackson Jihad "Can't Maintain"

Folk - Iron and Wine "Our Endless Numbered Days"

Hip hop - Wu-Tang Clan "Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)"

Electronic - The Knife "Deep Cuts"

Classic - Pink Floyd "Wish You Were Here"

If I had to choose one album out of these I absolutely couldn't do without, it would be Can't Maintain or Deep Cuts.

Right now it's this....

Recorded in the 50s, transferred straight from the original tapes onto SACD, sounds better than *any* recording I've *ever* heard in my life. Except for maybe some jazz recordings on a certain Japanese label . But really, this recording of Scheherazade sounds minblowing. You have to hear it on a good system/pair of headphones capable of reproducing the acoustics properly though. But when you do, man, everything is clear as daylight and hits you in the face more than any recording I've heard. Especially the last movement, which was recorded in a single take.
