Greatest album
Jump to: Newest in thread
What is in your opinion the greatest album ever?
Not a “best of” album or a “now that’s what I call” album
I ask as today I was going to buy a record player but couldn’t think of one album I can remember listening to from start to finish
So inspire me please 🙏 |

As an entire album to be enjoyed from start to finish, oddly (for me) the lemonheads album (called 'lemonheads' from 2006). |

"What’s Going On - Marvin Gaye
My choice too.
Well either that or:
Hejira - Joni Mitchell
Good Marvin Gaye album. Inner city blues is a great song"
Indeed. There’s lots of great versions of it too e.g. Sarah Vaughan, Phil Upchurch, Allen Hoist |

Like many of the posters above, it really is difficult to narrow it down to one but the following albums would be in the conversation:
Purple Rain - Prince and the Revolution
Whatever People Say I Am, that's What I'm not - Arctic Monkeys
Automatic for the People - REM
Blonde on Blonde - Bob Dylan
Blood on the Tracks - Bob Dylan
The Suburbs - Arcade Fire

Wow.. what a question
I am surprised pet sounds by the beach boys wasn’t mentioned before just above me.. but it’s an album I can just go a listen to at any point
I was also so tempted to say ABBA gold.. but that would be cheating….
Thinking of a few others
Original pirate material by the streets
Low end theory - a tribe called quest
36 chambers - wu tang clan
Fade to black- Amy whitehouse
The miseducation of Lauren hill
Songs in the key of life- Stevie wonder |
