There have been a few programmes on TV recently hailing the era of the Album. If you had to listen to a whole album, what would it be?

I'll start with Deep Purple - Machine Head

Probably too many that I like to be definitive but off the top of my head the ones that stick out the most are Justin Townes Earle's 'The Good Life' Idlewild's 'The Remote Part' and Joni Mitchell's 'Blue'

The new version WOTW New Generation with Liam Neeson isn't bad either, but the original is the classic version.

Not a single bad track on that album & the Deluxe Version has some great outtakes & alternative versions. The "Classic Album" programme is still on my Sky Box.
