Greatest album ever made.

[magicrat]

If I'm allowed a second vote it would be for this timeless masterpiece

 

[Kant]

This for me:

 

Never tire of it.

Proper album, too. Really hangs together as a whole.

[Frankenhooker]

Dummy isn't my favourite album of all time, but it's an absolute cracker and has held up very well.

Just listened to that Steely Dan album posted earlier (Aja).

Quite a few hip hop samples ripped off that. Most notable being Eye Know by De La Soul.

Very nice. As mentioned earlier the production levels are tight as fuck. Perfect funky summer sounds. Thanks for posting. Will have to get acquainted with the rest of their back catalogue.

I've got the making of that album on Dvd. Would highly recommend watching it about how the produced and recorded the album etc...

Top man.  I know there are lots of other good albums in there, but I am just surprised to see this one.

 

I also have the Fluke remixes of She's a Rainbow.  Brilliant stuff.  Fluke can be brilliant on their day.

[Paul]

Saw them live a few times while at university. The lead singer (Tony Ogden?) died a while back I think.

[njackets]

This has just turned into a chin stroking competition, who can come up with the most obscure album.

 

Even the Floyd fans in here trying to make out Meddle, Atom Heart Mother and Obscure by clouds etc was a better album than The Wall.

[Mook]

*goes off to practice chin stroking

[razor]

I remember heckling Inspiral Carpets when they played that "This Is How It Feels"; it is basically a rip off of Walking Back to Happiness, so after every line I'd do the "Whoop Wha Whoh Way-ay".

 

I love a good heckle.

 

I later got to know Tom pretty well.  A really nice bloke.

 

But that album shouldn't be anywhere near this thread.

 

(That said, Directing Traffic, Joe, Butterfly, I Want You, Sackville and Keep the Circle Around are all brilliant songs)

have really enjoyed being out and about with it again and there is not one duffer track on a completely superb debut. precisely why it's a worthy nomination. this week.

 

this is not a 'chin stroking' record or a critics dream, but it's an LP that encapsulated much excitement as a teenager at the start of the '90's and still holds up now with it's undoubted charm. reckon it's a corker and i'll always return to it.

I absolutely loved The Inspiral Carpets when I was a kid, personally I thought The Beast Inside was their best LP at the time but haven't listened to them for 20 odd years now.

 

The first 12" I ever bought was Move in Eastern Bloc records in Manchester, I didn't know what it was called so my Dad took me up to the counter & I sang it to the guy, fond memories.

[Pureblood]

The three I go back to the most are :-

 

Nirvana Bleach

Afghan Whigs Black Love

Screaming Trees Sweet Oblivion

[cochyn]

It's obviously Trout Mask Replica. Anyone who disagrees has pissflaps for ears.

[TheHowieLama]

***walks in stroking chin***

[setreal]

Weird title.

[Total Longo]

I actually bought CD’s of The Bends and OK Computer as a joint purchase because so many people were raving about Radiohead. I had never heard any of their music before and have never suffered the torment since.

 

 

The last I saw of The Bends it was propping up the leg on a wonky table.

 

Following a bitter argument, I gave OK Computer to my sister as a birthday present. I’ve always felt ashamed of myself for that, it was such a tasteless thing to do.

 

Negged for being ridiculous.

[Total Longo]

This is deffo  up there.

 

[Frankenhooker]

Scott Walker - Scott IV. Not a bad track on it.

[Bjornebye]

The answer is always and always will be Definately Maybe.

[setreal]

Definitely Not more like.

[General Dryness]

Fuck off, "Trembling Arse Biscuit Bag" which is a live bootleg recording of Roger Waters washing his car, is a far superior album to The Wall. Only fourteen people have heard it, so it has to be better.

[Bjornebye]

Definitely Not more like.

It is. Track for track I can't think of a better album. Even Digsys Dinner is a cracker.

[Tourt]

It's obviously Trout Mask Replica. Anyone who disagrees has pissflaps for ears.

Not so much an album, more a John Peel piss take.

 

If it wasn’t for Trout Mask Replica the Dave Clarke Five would never have disbanded.

 

It’s that bad.
