    +1 on Yankee Hotel Foxtrot

    Disintegration

    YoshimI Battles the Pink Robots

      Paul  Simon - Graceland

      Boston - First album

      MJ - Off the Wall

      Guns and Roses - Appetite for Destruction

       

      ----

      On a limb here, but the only other albums I liked all the way through that I still listen to often are

       

      Enya - First Album

      Moodswings - MoodFood  (Most have never heard of it, kind of a new age sound), and

      Vangelis - Direct, and Vangelis, Oceanic.

      The Plan '15 →   ///    "Run Hard, Live Easy."   ∞

        Yeah, I guess +1 for Appetite for Destruction. I've gone back and forth all day about it but if I were stranded on an island I would want it.

          Big +1 for Dire Straits - Brothers in Arms. Also like the picks for Boston, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd & Cars. Lots of great suggestions. A few more off the top of my head -

           

          Eagles - Hotel California

          Pink Floyd - Animals

          Rush - Permanent Waves

          Aerosmith - Toys in the Attic or Get your Wings

           

          Yeah, I'm old Big grin

           

           

          PleasantRidge


          Warm&fuzzy

            Tom Petty - Wildflowers

            Drive By Truckers - The Dirty South

            Alice In Chains - Dirt

            Modest Mouse - Good News For People Who Love Bad News

            Jamey Johnson - That Lonesome song

            +1 to Car Wheels and Disintegration

            Runner with a riding problem.

              Don't dig Animals.

              Love Aerosmith's first three albums. Pretty much a perfect trio.

              They were also my first concert back in the '75.

               

              I'd like to add:

               

              The Yes Album, Fragile, and Closer to The Edge as another perfect trio (Yes ---2nd concert!)


              Cool Jump Suit

                Van Halen I 

                Van Halen 5150

                 

                Both were great.  Even though there were two different leads.

                So bittersweet,
                This tragedy
                Won't ask for absolution;
                This melody,
                Inside of me,
                Still searches for solution.
                A twist of faith,
                A change of heart
                Cures my infatuation.
                A broken heart, 
                Provides the spark
                For my determination.


                an amazing likeness

                  Eagles - Hotel California

                   

                   

                  Oh yes indeed, all good tracks, a comprehensive, enclosed album.  So my list has now grown to:

                   

                  Darkness on the Edge of Town -- Springsteen

                  Born to Run - Springsteen

                  Car Wheels on a Gravel Road - Lucinda Williams

                  Blessed - Lucinda Williams

                  London Calling - Clash

                  Eagles - Hotel California

                  Rumors - Fleetwood Mac

                  Meet the Beatles - Beatles

                  Acceptable at a dance, invaluable in a shipwreck.

                    And by the way when I threw Yankee Hotel Foxtrot out there I knew it would probably be the most contemporary album in this thread...but a friend of mine pointed out earlier this week that it was released TWELVE years ago. Man did that make me feel old. Seems like just yesterday I saw them tour with this album!

                     

                    Seems Yoshimi was the same year? Not an album I would have picked, but respect. I have to be in a special mood for that one though.

                        Best Wilco album, IMO, is Summer Teeth. But YHT is just so GOOD from beginning to end.

                          Agreed, I prefer Summer Teeth...but, as you say, doesn't fit the criteria.

                           

                          And, perhaps, is the answer to your other question. Smile
