I will start..

My favourite album of all time is

Underworld Dubnobassmyheadman.

Why? It was so ahead of its time. I love musical journeys. The latest i-poppets with their 50 zillion gig pods will never understand the journey of a whole album. I was partaking of lots of nightlife, was single and heard 'Dark and Long' at an afterparty and bought the cd the next day. The journey still gives me goosebumps and I have to listen to 'cowgirl' really really loud.

I am a huge underworld fan but this was their first post electro rock album and it certainly helped change my view of the world.

It is a close cass however as The Cure- Disintergation was remixed as 'Mixed up' and is a very close second.

who's next?

speaking of musical journeys koolkarma, i know exactly what you mean!!!
(dubnobasswithmyheadman is one of my favourite albums too! many an early evening and early morning spent with that album... and ive heard some awesome remixes of cowgirl at a rave and a few doofs... its one of their best tracks!)

i know its not everyones cup of tea, and as a matter of fact most people probably dont even know this type of music exists, but Identified Flying Object by The Pleiadians is possibly the best, nay, penultimate piece of goa trance ever recorded, and just happens to be my favourite album of all time.

if mozart were alive and making music today, he would have made this album... the progressions, layers, textures and SOUNDS on this album are enough to make one religious under the right circumstances, and are still truly amazing when the circumstances are of a more mundane nature 😀

the shortest track on this album is 8 minutes and 20 seconds long, so you had better make sure you have somewhere comfy with some trippy lights on while you take this journey 😀 😀 😀

second would have to be Welcome to the Monkey House by the Dandy Warhols, just because they are so damn fun to sing along to!!

this made alot of people very angry and is widely regarded as a bad move.

The Stooges' first album.
Why?
On the first spin, I couldn't stop laughing because it was so berserk.
Still my desert island disc after almost 20 years. Knocked 'days of future passed' off the shelf in two minutes.
But if I could take a few,
*Dave Graney with the White Buffaloes 'My Life on the Plains'
*Phoenix 'united'
*Blue Cheer 'outsideinside'
*best of Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five
*Air 'Moon Safari'
*Luscious Jackson 'fever in fever out'

And I'd try to squeeze in Winerot's Tim buckley album too🙂 that's a beauty!

I wouldn't under normal circumstances admit to liking Neil Sedaka but I've got a couple of his albums..but keep it to yourselves. Also if anyone has heard of him I would love to get "1000 volts of Holt" and "2000 volts of Holt" by John Holt , he done reggae covers of some classic songs, if anyone gets the chance listen and your ears will be forever in your debt!

I love 40 Licks, the Rolling Stones best of thing. So many classics.

Agree with a lot of the stuff above, underworld, cure, new order. Definitely agree with the thing about an album being a journey, you really have to listen to a whole album in one sitting rather than shuffling between singles on your iPod.

Somersault soundtrack - Decoder Ring
Trainspotting Soundtrack - Various
Transformer - Lou Reed
The Last Beautiful Day - New Buffalo
This is it - The Strokes
Ágætis byrjun - Sigur Ros
OK Computer - Radiohead
Funeral - The Arcade Fire
