The One Album

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

"Takk" by Sigur Ros. Pretty simple to pick that one actually. It's 2-5 that would be a problem

[Hewey]

"Disintegration" by The Cure. I know it's the most liked by most Cure fans, and I got to agree, it's a simply amazing album.

[Clawson]

Definitely Maybe - Oasis

Absolution is top 5 though.

[Pesci]

Parklife by Blur, which is fantastic the whole way through and one of the only albums I can listen to from start to finish without feeling the need to listen to something else. Definitely Maybe is a pretty close second, though.

[Quom]

69 Love songs by the Magnetic Fields (is sold as a triple CD here before anyone says it's three albums). I probably prefer distortion but 69 Love Songs wins for the sheer amount of good-great songs which far exceeds what a single CD can contain.

[Toe]

Protest the Hero - Fortress

[Darloboy]

The Stone Roses - The Stone Roses

[Future-Shock]

It BARELY beats out Defenders of the Crown by Human Fortress

[Cactus Drags]

I'd probably go with Good Apollo, I Am Burning Star IV: Volume 1, From Fear Through The Eyes of Madness by Coheed and Cambria.

I know a lot of CoCam fans prefer IKSOSE:3, etc but this was the album that got me into them and I love it.

Oh, I forgot about IKSOSE:3, definitely their best, and always one of my all-time favourites. But I guess due to the nature of the lyrics, being a sci-fi fantasy tale, there's less of an emotional attachment to it. I 'unno, it's certainly in my all-time top 5, but Deja just resonates with me more.

[Bushmeister]

I'd probably go with "All Of A Sudden I Miss Everyone", Explosions In The Sky.

I love that album title. Love it to goddamn bits. It feels like if you could combine with into a single entity.

My number one album... That is an exceedingly hard choice for me. I've had the pleasure of listening to some really great ones over the years. However, I would go back in time and to the one album that originally startled me to my path, Napalm Death's "Scum". Besides the music which I really enjoy, there is also a great emotional load in it for me. It is the epitome of how my good times began.

[Turbo Yannis]

[Cactus Drags]

...yawn.

[tristy]

Even the worse song on the album (Starfuckers, Inc.) is pretty damn good.

[GRIFT]

Fact: Grifter bought his girlfriend's 15 year old little brother that NIN album, and he claims it changed his life.

[VerbalPuke]

I like DMN's selection, very good album, good band all around. It does make for a great avatar by the way.

As for my choice? I don't know, the idea of being deprived of all music except for one album is a bit disenchanting, it's hard to imagine life with just one album. Ultimately, I'd settle on Iggy and the Stooges "Raw Power", it's one of my favorites, and probably the loudest album I've ever heard. The title of the album is the perfect description for the jagged rock and roll orchestrated by the Stooges. Beyond the annihilating rock there are also songs that are more sentimental than they are abrasive.

[deathbyimpact]

I would have to say Between the Buried and Me's "Colors"

Technically one of the best albums I have ever heard.

...yawn.

What's wrong with Idlewild?

[Clawson]

They don't want to kill themselves enough for Dragsy.

[Mr Evil Guy]

69 Love songs by the Magnetic Fields (is sold as a triple CD here before anyone says it's three albums). I probably prefer distortion but 69 Love Songs wins for the sheer amount of good-great songs which far exceeds what a single CD can contain.

Quom knows where it's at. 69 Love Songs is the answer for me, too.

Though Charm of the Highway Strip/Holiday put up a good fight for 'Best Magnetic Fields Album".
