Favourite album?

Two albums I can't believe I forgot how awesome they are:

"Live in Texas" Linkin park (Best of both great albums, Hybrid Theory and Meteora)

"One" by Ra their biggest hit 'Do You Call My Name' kicks it off and it's solid and excellent the entire way through!


I have to add
'Cracked Rear View' by Hootie & The Blowfish Hold My Hand, Time, Let her Cry....an amazing album. I miss the 90's

I'm just going to go ahead and say that I think Revolver is the best Beatles album. Now that we've put that aside my favorites are:

Fleet Foxes: Helplessness Blues
Little Joy: Little Joy
Grizzly Bear: Yellow House


I would have to agree on Revolver. Though I have a soft spot for the Love album, I thought it was beautifully done and got me back into the Beatles after years away...

Others, blimey, that's hard.

Currently:
The Guillemots: Through the Windowpane
Nick Drake: Pink Moon
Fleet Foxes: Helplessness Blues
Vashti Bunyan: Lookaftering
John Martyn: Solid Air
Kate Bush: Aerial
James Taylor: Sweet Baby James
