For my money, it doesn't get better than Siamese Dream by the Smashing Pumpkins. I'm interested to hear any other recommendations.

If you mean an album where I LOVE every single song, it's a tie between Little Feat's Waitin For Columbus and Crack The Sky's Live Sky...

Led Zeppelin 4th album - no title just a picture of a man with sticks on his back. Black Dog, Rock 'n Roll, Going to California, When the Levee Breaks & Stairway to Heaven. How can you top that?

Man, how do you choose just one?

Document - REM
Get the Knack - The Knack
The Cars - The Cars
Candy-O - The Cars
War - U2
The Joshua Tree - U2
Back in Black - AC/DC
Rumours - Fleetwood Mac
Boston - Boston

I could go all day on this one. Impossible to answer. I'd probably pick the Cars first album.

>>>>Favorite Live Album - Frampton Comes Alive

For live, I have to add, KISS Alive, my other previous choices, my 10,000 bootlegs but Frampton Comes Alive also holds a special place in my heart...I think that album cover was used to clean more Panama Red or Columbian Gold than any other album I owned...An Eric Clapton album comes to mind also, can't see thru the fog in the memory...

Since we're talking albums, I have to add Cheech & Chong's Sleeping Beauty and Carlin's 7 words you can't say on tv...

Rolling Stones-Exile on Main St

Best Album of all time is a tough one, but if I had to whittle my CD collection down to 1, this is the CD I'd keep.

Death Magnetic is AJFA meets Load which are my 2 favorite tallica albums so for me it is the epitome of everything they have done over 25+ years. Hetfields voice is much better than it has been, the lyrics are geat amnd tinged with that MOP style. Like any tallica album it takes a few lessons but I am truly in love with this one. Solos and non stop hard riffage with that funky vibe - truly sounds magnetic at times

I have actually been listening to Mountain lately - another band that if came at a different time could have been a lot bigger I think. Nantucket Sleighride is awesome.

Thin Lizzy - Live And Dangerous

Interesting note on this - Huey Lewis was the sax player on the recordings

Iron Maiden-Powerslave (nice choice)
Metallica either the Black album or And Justice...

If you are going this route

Pantera-Vulgar Display of Power (nothing like putting this in an MP3 player and lifting weights for an hour).

The Pharcyde- Bizzare Ride to the Pharcyde

And Zepplin 1 (I believe is a better album than the 4th album. I like the Blues feel to it).
