theshrew said: I'm a big Roses fan but wouldn't say it would be on my must hear albums list. Has some great songs and some rubbish. I would argue all day long that every single track on that album from Adored to resurrection is a stone cold classic. But that's music, one man's symphony is another's nails on a blackboard. Still, I would point out 225,000 people took fifteen minutes to agree with me in October.

andy-integrale said: The Nightfly - Donald Fagan
Blind Mans zoo - 10000 Maniacs
The Nightfly is anexquisitely brilliant album and one which I missed off my list. It is the definition of timeless - still sounds fresh yet could still be of any decade since 1920. Nice to see 10000 maniacs get a mention, but I there are too many week songs to make it a must hear before you die album.

falkster said: Clearly one of unbelievable taste?? I'd add - Wish you were here to the Pink Floyd
- Rubber Soul to The Beatles
- Your Arsenal to Morrissey
Mint taste in music!!! How about Misplaced Childhood by Marillion?? I hated it but now class it as one of my top albums!! Good call on Your Arsenal. I chose Vauxhall & I above it for songs like Lifeguard Sleeping, Girl Drowning and Speedway (my favourite album closer ever). There are some wonderful tracks on YA though. We'll Let You Know and Seasick, Yet Still Docked are two of my personal favourite Morrissey tracks.

Going to check this out for sure Also check out godspeed you black emperor. The exact reason I started this thread. Never heard of them and never would have found them in all probability. Thanks for that, listening to them now. Fantastic.  So many brilliant (unknown to the masses (?)) musicians in this world with so little time to listen to them all.

Epic? That's requires some thought.
Lots of the usual have been suggested such as Pink Floyd, The Beatles etc. I believe Dark Side of the Moon qualifys as 'epic' however as much as I am an absolute Beatles fan I am not sure any of their albums could be termed epic.
To try to add some more obscure ideas I would add.
1) Colosseum - Valentyne Suite
2) Kind Crimson - In the Court of the Crimson King
3) Keef Hartley - The Battle of North West Six
6) John Mayall - Blues from Laurel Canyon
5) Frank Zappa - Hot Rats

Lateralus - Tool. Their best album imo. And you can tell it was conceived as an album - I don't think you can download it legally as mp3 for this reason (I think). Nobbish yes, epic yes.

Paul's Boutique & Check Your Head by Beastie Boys
Originally went under the radar, the latter more so.
PB has great rhymes, samples and production courtesy of the Dust Bros (who went on to produce Beck and Fight Club OST) the BB in their true guise, not just jokers playing to the frat-boy crowd.
CYH is a join-the-dots album. Has a bit of everything and not just hip hop but punk (what the BB originally played), jazz/funk.

lazyitus said: Stuart70 said: Love over gold Phenomenal album, Dire Straits at their very best IMO. Telegraph Road is up there as one of the greatest tracks of all time, for me. Telegraph Road is my all-time favourite track, but the live version on Alchemy is streets ahead of the album version on L-O-G IMHO

Listened to 'Welcome to the pleasuredome' by Frankie Goes To Hollywood on the way to work this morning.
A brilliant piece of work.

A brilliant piece of work. Couldn't agree more and it actually meets the criteria of the thread, i.e. epic! A lot of wonderful albums have been mentioned over the time this thread has been running, but epic is not a word to describe many of them.

Mindbomb by The The, great rock music with deep sentiments,and still relevant a quarter of a century later. In fact most of their music is great. The logic of chance, by Dan le sac vs Scroobius Pip...hip hop with brains, after all how many songs include quotes from a government report on knife crime Most stuff by Nick Drake can go here too I will need to get my ass to youtube later to look into some great music,and check my collection for more.
