The one that has pictures of my love ones both those with me and those I only have memories left. Its white and has gold trim bought it in a KMart in late 80s and its been with me for so many moves. It was one of the few things left behind when my house got robbed. So I thank them for that.

Daft Punk - Alive
Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon
I don't really know. Kinda depends in the mood I'm in I guess.
Kendrick Lamar - good kid, m.A.A.d. city
Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here
Alice in Chains - Facelift
FIDLAR - FIDLAR
Queens Of The Stone Age - Songs For The Deaf
Rage Against The Machine - Rage Against The Machine
EDIT (some more):
Gojira - From Mars to Sirius
Pearl Jam - Ten
Soundgarden - Superunknown
Nirvana - Nevermind
No question. I got it when I was 15 in '91. Over the years, I've seen countless bands of various genres. My tastes evolved, and frankly, some of the records and CDs I loved at that age have not held up as my taste and musical appreciation broadened, but this one's timeless. For a while, I preferred In Utero for its rawness, but Nevermind is basically flawless in my opinion.
@YeahIgotskills2 @als I feel the same... discover nirvana way late arround 2010, I feel its simple and a masterpiece at same time
Scurrilous by Protest the Hero
It's their turning point, the last album with og line-up. Rody (vocal) taking charge of the lyrics. Simple drum (set up), insane riff, varied theme.
From the futility of suicide, cancer, to record label greed.
I mean I like their newer material even more, but this one special to me.
Computerwelt by Kraftwerk.
But Remain In Light by Talking Heads is a very close second.
Coheed and Cambria - Good Apollo, I’m Burning Star IV.
That album is a masterpiece.
Oof that’s a hard one. One of the below:
Jimmy Eat World ‘Clarity’
Mineral ‘The Power Of Failing’
Neutral Milk Hotel ‘In The Aeroplane Over The Sea’
The Decemberists ‘Picaresque’
Clarity is incredible. Jimmy Eat World was at their absolute creative peak right before they made it big with their next album.
In 1999 or thereabouts my girlfriend left me for another guy at a music festival. I will never forget grabbing my discman and headphones and heading out to be alone and feel sorry for myself.
I sat in a muddy cow pasture listening to Clarity for hours that night. That’s what emo is to me.
Hybrid Theory (Linkin Park) is objectively the greatest album of all time in my subjective opinion
My Head is an Animal (Of Monsters And Men) is probably my personal favorite though
The Dark Side of the Moon by Pink Floyd or Hybrid Theory from Linkin Park
Dream Theater, Metropolis Part 2
The Damned - Machine Gun Etiquette
What a delightfully impossible question.
I hate it when someone names a totally obscure album that no one’s ever heard of just to be cool, but I looked through my whole collection and no other single album felt right as my Favorite Album Of All Time, which I have to underscore is different than what I think is the best album of all time.
So anyway, my personal favorite album of all time which I can listen to any time and which transports me to a different place and time in my life:
Model Engine - The Lean Years Tradition
I’ve been saying that for 15 years or so and it remains true, but I don’t expect folks will listen to it and be blown away. That said, it’s an amazing album that came along at just the right time to get baked into my personality forever.
My favorite album that’s more well known, and which I would argue is genre defining: Sunny Day Real Estate - The Pink Album
My favorite album of the last 5 years is Rosalia - Motomami
Music is so fucking great isn’t it? I think it is one of the better things to come out of humanity.
Of course this changes over time but right now it's probably a toss up between Marquee Moon by Television and 154 by Wire.
Rhyme Asylum - Solitary Confinement
I have a few. In no particular order:
It's a Kind of Magic -Queen Time -ELO Howard Jones greatest hits Ten Summoners Tales - Sting Asia-Asia Heavy Metal Soundtrack
Queen Rock Montreal
It's the one concert that I wish I had been born early enough to attend, but alas I was only five years old at the time. When the album came out in 2007 was when I became a Queen fan.
Sketches of Brunswick East by King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard and Mild High Club
Massive Attack - Mezzanine
I got this for dissolved girl (knock knock, neo) and the rest of it sounds different. It's a good different. I was disappointed at first, but - unlike another hit/album mismatch finger eleven - I grew to really like the rest of it as a completely separate entity from the catalyst track that made me get it.
Discovery - Daft Punk
what an absolutely brutal question! yet my answer never changes:
The Jimi Hendrix Experience - Electric Ladyland
Boys For Pele - Tori Amos
She does so much with the orchestration that I'm still finding new elements
Dream Theater - Live Scenes from New York.
If it has to be a studio album, same artist, Metropolis Pt. 2: Scenes from a Memory
My favourite changes constantly, but right now it’s Masks Off by Jesse Welles. I’ve said it several times here before but Lemmy would really like his lyrics and more folks here need to check him out.
He’s incredible. He just played a show at the hot dog place near me and I missed it!
I saw him back in March, he was amazing live. I’ll absolutely be seeing him again.
Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd.
Shine On is so beautiful. Then the middle songs, especially the title track, scratch that more catchy, accessible itch.
Beastie Boys - Hello Nasty
Joni - Blue
Linkin Park's Meteora or HybridTheory
R.I.P. Chester 🫡
Moron Police - Pachinko
Air, Moon Safari
Fuck yeah, my wife and I used to make love to this album.
Demon Days by Gorillaz
