What are your three most favorite albums, and why?

Mine are:

Iron Maiden -Somewhere in Time (highly solid, awesome songs, amazing cover artwork)

Metallica - Master of Puppets (this just slays!)

Anthrax - Among the Living (thrashing heaviness, Mr. Benante is one of the greatest drummers of all time)

Primal Scream - Live In Japan (because I heard the same set at Glasto '92, IT ROCKS!!)

Red Hot Chili Peppers - One Hot Minute (was gonna choose Californication, but this stands up better)

Leftfield - Leftism (a safe bet)

Other wacky favourites:
Chilis - Blood Sugar Sex Magic (I love funky music)
Utah Saints - Utah Saints (I love 90's techno dance + have worked for these guys)
Human League - Love and Dancing (I love intrumental albums)
Kate Bush - The Kick Inside (I love early kate bush)
Duran Duran - Rio (A guilty pleasure from my 80's youth)
Human League - Octopus (I love 90's dance pop)
Bananarama - Pop Life / True Confessions (I love cheesy 80's dance pop too)

Will need to have a think about this, but just listened to Mansun's Attack of the Gray Lantern for the first time in years - and it still sounds excellent.

I've given this some thought before; I'm pretty confident with these three (ordered by preference):

The Dark Side of the Moon, by Pink Floyd. I know that it's kind of a cliché choice, but I've never seen another album with such simultaneously high standards of consistency, production, and sequencing.

A Love Supreme, by John Coltrane. Just a brilliant jazz album, and it's one of the few from its time that actually feels like a unified album.

Equinoxe, by Jean-Michel Jarre. A lot of people prefer Oxygène, but this one sounds more focused to me. Both are excellent!

Stereolab: The Mars Audiac Quintet (It's just a vast piece of work)

Glenn Gould playing Bach's Goldberg Variations (the 1956 release)

DJ Shadow: Endtroducing

I'll have to revise my list.
2. Pink Floyd - Wish you were here
gets kicked out and my new entry is:

2. The Wipers - Youth of America

maybe the most underrated band of all times. No grunge and no american postpunk music thinkable without The Wipers.

Loved the album Ten by Pearl Jam back in the day and Blood Sugar.....album by the RHCP. Still thinking this over - it's hard.

reminds me of the classic line in I'm Alan Partridge. What's your favourite album by The Beatles?

That would have be Their Greatest Hits....by The Beatles.

Same episode - the line about Kurt Kobain shooting himself because he was depressed (Someone should have told him they were good)

Ah-Ha!
