I doubt I could narrow it down to under 30 albums.

Agreed, but this nicks it for me. Co-written by one of our own.

And the story behind it -

Band wanted to make a double album and sell it for the price of a single album.
Record company said said No, commercial suicide.
So band said “can we make a single album and gives away a free 12” single/EP with it ?”
Record company agreed.
Band put 8 tracks on the ‘free’ EP (and added another unlisted on the cover and switched the rpm from 45 to 33 at the last minute.

Commercial suicide bit them onntheir next release - Sandinista, a triple album for the price of a double….!

As you say’68 plenty to choose from, but for me it’s Marvin Gaye’s “What’s Going On”. As relevant now as it was in 1971 when it was released

This has been done and I’d agree with the above on Oasis’s Morning Glory but…..as I said before my favourite is a proper weird selection
It’s KLF - Chill Out
For many personal reasons

Sub genre - best Compilation Album(s)????
STREET SOUNDS for me. Bloody loved em

Cherish and enjoy life.... this ain't no dress rehearsal

7 years previous I debuted with the 1974 World Cup Panini Album



Still to this day I wonder about East Germany’s Helmut Stein. Have you seen anyone more Scottish in your life? If this blatant sweaty double agent could infiltrate the DDR National Fußball squad undetected then the Cold War wasn’t all it was cracked up to be.

Too many to choose from but as a teenager Elton was my favourite artist so I will go for Captain Fantastic. Second choice would be a Steely Dan album but which one?

For some that sticker was a rare one

But for me I recall the opposite
As a young un in ‘74 I had loads of Helmut Stein’s
It’s why my Mum boil washed the sheets

Happier times and all that

Stone Roses yes, but IMHO Definitely Maybe is easily the best Oasis album.

Honourable mention to Arctic Monkeys debut album which was also superb.

Lesser known but Star by Belly is a long standing personal favourite of mine.

So many others I could mention.

New Gold dream 81 82 83 84 , Simple minds .
Mostly recorded in Shepards Bush.
Lots of Stones albums contenders but a wonderful time in my life so gets the nod.

Not claiming it as the best album by a long shot, but the album I must have listened to most in my life is the '59 sound by the Gaslight Anthem.

Just banger after banger. The ten year anniversary tour for it was unreal back in 2019 at Hammersmith.

New Gold Dream is an amazing album ... It was a crossover point for the band from avant-garde to commercial and the end result kind'a ticks both boxes.

I don’t think the perfect album exists… one where every single track is pure gold. There’s always a couple of tracks I tend to skip.

If I had a gun to my head the closest I could get would be:

Massive Attack - Blue Lines
Congos - Heart of the Congos
Nirvana - unplugged in New York
The best of Bill Withers - Lovely day
Innocence - Belief
Soul II Soul - Club Classics vol. 1
Notorious B.I.G - Ready to Die

The best album, for me, is the eclectic mess I put together myself for the car… but even then, after a period of time, there’s one you skip through.

Probably the most complete ‘storytelling’ album for me. A rare one where I can be completely immersed from start to finish doing nothing else.

Carole King’s Tapestry also a very good shout. Just a relaxing, wonderful listen.

Nas Illmatic imo. Such a raw album and always blows my mind that he was only 16/17 years old when he made it. It’s now studied at Harvard.

As already mentioned too many favorites to pick just one. But if I were to choose an album that I have listened to the most (wore out the vinyl, had to buy CD version) over the years, it has to be Breezin' by George Benson. Yes, I'm a soppy git.

I saw them in Brixton at The Fridge about 20 odd years ago… love it.

Les Nuits is iconic.

Really, really difficult, but based on the 'played more than any other album' rule it has to be ....
