Best album I own.

My favorite REM album as well.

Since this looks much more like a personal favorites then a legitimate best of all time, here are a few I love.

Along with several others already mentioned, Dylan's Blood on the Tracks is very high on my list.

While I'm still thinking about this here's a few:

 

[CyBroncos]

For Beatles, I'll go with Rubber Soul or Revolver...that's when I feel they were at their best.

Sticky Fingers from the Stones and Led Zeppelin IV and II are tough to beat...packed with great songs from beginning to end

For any of you that are listing Beatles albums, check out the self-titled album by Good Old War, released in 2008. I swear, it's like The Beatles re-incarnated. If they were to release an album today, I'm confident that this is what it would sound like.

Let It Be, The Replacements

or Tim, or Pleased to Meet Me. My favorite all-time album is Pleased to Meet Me. Nice to see a few other Mats fans on the board.

Maroon 5's new album is great!! There has not been a song that I don't like in their past three albums!

CloneFan4 is no longer allowed to post in this thread (assuming he's being serious that is).

Space Jam soundtrack. Tell me you didn't own that album if you were in middle school when that came out.

People don't know real hip hop if they are putting Kanye West as their favorite albums...

My favorite hip hop album... none other than NaS - "Illmatic" from 1994

My favorite album of all time... I'm torn between Pink Floyd "Meddle" and Pink Floyd "Dark Side of the Moon"

I find it funny that a kid that is at the most 20 is telling us that people that like Kanye don't know hip-hop. Judging by your 2012 grad timeline you were 4 years old when that Nas' album came out. Don't tell me you know "real hip-hip."

I challenge anyone to name a better live album than Neil Young "Live at Massey Hall".

The Black Crows - Live at the Greek
Nirvana - Unplugged in New York
Alice in Chains - Unplugged
Pink Floyd - Is there anybody out there?

what's this hip-hip of which you speak?

So by this thought process, since I'm 27, I shouldn't be able to know that The Beatles and Elvis are real Rock & Roll?

I'm 21 actually and am a year behind in schooling. I started listening to hip hop in 1997 so is it so hard to believe that I would know of an album 3 years old at the time I got introduced to the genre? Also I have 2 older brothers (born in 84 and 85) that listened to hip hop in the 90s so I got plenty acquainted to hip hop through them. I consider myself a hip hop junkie and love the genre so I have accumulated a lot of older rap over the years.

I know kids my age that have more knowledge of classic rock than my parents, so I don't think it's all that hard to believe that I know what I'm talking about when it comes to hip hop.

More Songs About Buildings And Food - Talking Heads

Great album. I think my old college girlfriend moved out because she couldn't stand me playing it all the time. :spinny:
