What's Your Favorite Album of All-Time

Crystal Bruce · April 17

Inspired by All-Star, Dariel Dixon's profile page - what's your favorite album of all time (bonus points if it is an actual vinyl) - Mine is Xanadu (the movie soundtrack) - Electric Light Orchestra is my favorite band of all time, so no surprise there!

@Crystal Bruce Jeez, this one is hard. It changes all the time. I think the most pivotal was CKY's Infiltrate Destroy Rebuild. That came out when I was in middle school and was the first time I really noticed riffs. So that set a course for the rest of my life as a guitarist and music lover.

Wowww, I have a few but if I have to pick one - Luther Vandross Greatest Hits album!!! Absolutely soulful!!!

Dariel Dixon · April 21

@Angela Finley Hunter: OKAY!! I'm calling a flag on the play. Greatest Hits albums are kinda like cheating. Anyway, Luther Vandross has a bunch of greatest hits albums, and some are better than others. However, I would recommend the Love, Luther box set if you can find it.

I love inspiring people and conversation @Crystal Bruce!

As a music lover, I can't narrow it down to one, but I'll give you a top 5 as of right now:

At least, that's it right now. It will change tomorrow.

Looking at that profile picture, I can't for the life of me remember what was on the turntable when I took that snapshot…

@Dariel Dixon
LOL!! ? I tried Dariel, I tried! I love all of his songs! Yes, some more than others, but I love myself some Luther. Thanks for the recommendations. One of my friends, gave me a box set years ago!

@Dariel Dixon
Enjoy listening to those too! Hope to see Mary J in concert soon.

Bobby Steurer · April 21

@Dariel Dixon Midnight Marauders really is the perfect night-time driving soundtrack. Spent many a college evening cruising around to that one.

Dariel Dixon · April 21

@Angela Finley Hunter I have been blessed to have seen Mary Jane Blige in concert a couple of times now. I'd recommend her show.

Dariel Dixon · April 21

@Bobby Steurer I hear that. It has a very nocturnal vibe. I always had it in my car CD player for decades. I feel like outside of My Life, I've bought all of those albums at least twice.

Allison King · April 22

IDK about favorite of all time, but I can tell that spring is in the air whenever I want to listen to Paul Simon's Graceland and The Radiators' Law of the Fish albums.

Bobby Steurer · April 23

@Angela Finley Hunter A friend of mine saw Mary J a few years ago and had a blast. I believe Tyrese was also in the lineup, but I can't remember who else! Possibly Dru Hill?

Carrie Powell · April 23

@Crystal Bruce, there's no way I could choose one. That's like choosing a favorite book (impossible!).

It largely does depend on mood, and lately, I've been listening to audiobooks or podcasts more than music, so that also plays a factor in thinking of what I'd choose.

I do love a good soundtrack; the ones from Swingers, Mermaids and When Harry Met Sally are all ones I had on repeat many a time.

I also love Lyle Lovett; all of his albums are great.

Allison King · April 24

@Carrie Powell Oh I LOVE the Mermaids soundtrack. I was listening to it the other week while making dinner. The Big Chill also has a great soundtrack.

Heather Pauli · May 6

@Crystal Bruce Paradise Theatre by Styx, and it is definitely vinyl!

Lauren Henderson · May 6

@Crystal Bruce So, so many! Though a vinyl album from my childhood was Pete Townshend's White City, which I still enjoy.

Jeff Smith · May 6

@Crystal Bruce
I would have to say may favorite album from my youth is Marillion's 1985 album Misplaced Childhood. My daughter is even named after the song Kayleigh on that album.

Jeff Smith · May 6

@Heather Pauli
Showing my age now but I actually have Paradise Theater on 8-track. LOL

Heather Pauli · May 6

@Jeff Smith These are the “click-click” best of times!?

Dana Smith · May 7

@Crystal Bruce Stevie Wonder Musiquarium and Fleetwood Mac Rumours

Jeanette Rodriguez · May 7

@Crystal Bruce My favorite would have to be the soundtrack to The Greatest Showman!!

Crystal Bruce · May 8

@Jeanette Rodriguez you and me BOTH!

Amy Barker · May 12

@Crystal Bruce The Cure-Disintegration. If I was stranded on a desert island with only three albums, I'd bring three copies of that. And probably wear them all out!

Chantel M Russ · October 21

@Crystal Bruce Thriller by Michael Jackson

Rachel Cavalier · October 28

Oooh there are a lot of really great albums - I've always been a CDs person so not really many vinyl records in my collection.

AFI's "The Art of Drowning" - this one sparked my love for AFI when I first listened to it as a teenager and I've been a fan of theirs ever since. Their recent album "Silver Bleeds the Black Sun…" is excellent.

Interpol's "Turn On the Bright Lights" - I actually wore my first copy of this out from playing it so much. It probably is one of the big defining albums of the early 00s.

Placebo's "Without You I'm Nothing" was also pretty influential on the young Rachel's music tastes.

More recently - Dave Hause's "Drive It Like It's Stolen" and Bedouin Soundclash's "Mass" were really good.
