Don't have one to be honest I go by singles. Was impressed by some of the Emerson Lake Palmer stuff though like this one.

That is a difficult question.

I have to go for this one>

That was the...second album I bought. It is not something I listen to often, but it has a special place in my left kidney.

Killing me here with these topics, guys!

Let's see. Right now these two are fighting for my heart:

Miles Davis - On the Corner https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ps0ka1t ... 372BB485C8
Van Dyke Parks - Discover America https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uszd3r4KzsI

But too many to mention, even if I stay with jazz only: Ayler's Spiritual Unity, Urbani's Easy to Love, Coltrane's A Love Supreme, Dolphy's Out to Lunch, Mingus's Tijuana Moods...
And then Beach Boys's Pet Sounds and SMiLE, Joy Division's Unknown Pleasures and Closer...

Harder than the favorite song. Each of the mentioned records (plus many many more) means so much.

Love's _Forever Changes_ is an all-time favorite, as mentioned in the elder brother thread.

Current favorite is Van Morrison's _Astral Weeks_ (1968). The title track is especially sublime:

wow, I really don't know.
I think... maybe have to be, hmmm, if it was the only album I could salvage and play on a desert island.
Herbie Hancock - Head Hunters
Yeah.. I think so. it's got pretty much everything I want on one album "funkyhappysadcraazyhausen" ;) @Rhow
EDIT: even though I see that it's only EP length...
I'd have to add: Rock your soul
Which is an from an 'album' my dad picked up in those giant amsterdam music markets. it doesn't really exist on youtube only as single tracks no one seem to have heard. sometimes referred to as the 'blow up sessions' presuambly back in the 60's for the movie of the same name
anyway that would probably be my second choice.

^ will check both of those out. the Herbie Hancock one has been coming up in my recommended list on Youtube for some time now, and i think yesterday i *almost* clicked on it but went for something more familiar (fuck knows what) instead. so i guess with you mentioning it here, the universe has been telling me for long enough, "it is time!"

One of my all time favorite albums must be this. "Immunity" by Rupert Hine. It have this psychotic feeling of being on the edge... slow and creepy. This disturbing feeling of unease, of not knowing what to expect from the next instant of your life kind of... I am getting into deep waters here. Probably a rerun of mine too. :D
