As a companion to the best song ever thread, what do you think is the best album of all time? Darkside of the Moon comes pretty close for me but the one album I can listen to over and over again without getting tired of it is Oasis - What's The Story Morning Glory?

The hits off of it were great (Wonderwall, Champagne Supernova, What's the Story Morning Glory?) but the other songs are equally as awesome. Here's my favorite off of the album.

One of my all time favorites is Green Day - Dookie. I was a huge Green Day fan back in the 90's, and this is still one that I can listen to anyday.

Darkside definitely has that quality for me as well. It is very pleasing to listen to and I never get sick of it.

I listened to The Wall straight through for the first time in a long while the other day and I was struck by how timeless it is. The production was great and sounded as if it could have come out today.

I'm going to throw out a wild card and say Midnight Oil's live album "Scream in Blue" is absolutely fabulous.

Dark Side of the Moon was on the Billboard 200 chart from 1973 to 1988, a total of 741 weeks, or just over 14 years. Incredible.

I'd say Springsteen's Born to Run has to be mentioned.

I have to go with The Beatles (White Album).

If the category was "favorite" instead of "best," there are dozens that I probably listen to more frequently, and some that are probably stronger end-to-end.

But the White Album is such a wonderful, sprawling mess of styles and also so influential in r&r.

I think someone said it on one of those VH1 "top-albums" shows — there are bands that based entire careers on single songs from that album. That's probably an exaggeration, but it's accurate to a certain extent.
