Ok well it can't be:
Lexicon Of Love - ABC

That was one of the first LPs that I bought that I liked every track on it.

Just gone onto I Tunes

[Athlon]

The Liberty of Norton Folgate by Madness. No, I doubt most on here have heard of it but there you go, Madness are much more than Baggy Trousers, you should really have a listen to the full album before you judge, you may be surprised.

[Stinkfoot]

Ignoring best of albums, I am gonna go with Pink Floyd's Animals. Just perfect on so many levels although TheThe's Infected ran it close !

[technodup]

A toss up between The KLF - The White Room and The Shamen - En-Tact.

[Speedracer329]

Just one album? Impossible, but...............
Ziggy, or Aladin Sane, or Diamond Dogs - Bowie
Or Here Come the Warm Jets - Eno
Or Red Shoes - Kate Bush
Or The Hissing of Summer Lawns, or King Juan's Reckless Daughter - Joni Mitchell
Or Live Rust - Neil Young
Or In Search of Space - Hawkwind
Or Band of Joy - Robert Plant
Or Mezzanine - Massive Attack
Or Paris 1919 - John Cale
Or Electric Warrior - T.Rex
Or Outside - Bowie

See it's bloody impossible!

I agree, that was an album I was very pleasantly surprised by.

Infected - yup, another I enjoyed very much.

Cheers for the reminder about those two, I'm going to dig those out for another listen.

Good choice. I saw the screamadelica tour a couple of years ago and it had lost none of it's impact.

Zero 7 - When it Falls.

Gets me every time!

[PurpleTurtle]

Gene - Olympian.

Bought this the day I moved out of home to a new town, new job, new friends, life changed forever for me that day.

Still listen to it all the time.

[wibble cb]

National Treasures- Manic Street Preachers

Delicate Sound of Thunder - Pink Floyd

Radiohead - The Bends

Tricky to choose between them !!

[Salesy]

For me it got to be Streetsounds Electro 1, still play it today and love every bit of it.

Nice one! I've got this, and 3,4,5,6,7, the Crucials and Electro UK. Love them all tbh. I'm slowly collecting them on vinyl, takes me right back!

I'm finding it a difficult choice.

The complete works of either Mozart / Vaughan-Williams / Bach / Arvo Part would take up multiple CD's. So they're out.

Classic rock? Led Zep II, maybe?

Grunge? Superunknown, maybe? Possibly Ten by Pearl Jam?

Classical guitar? A Simon Dinnigan compilation, maybe?

Prog Rock? Wish You Were Here?

Difficult.

OK. If you can fit all of Chopin's nocturnes on to one album, I'll go for that.

Very similar to myself, with the exception of Chopin, just not a fan.

Vaughan-Williams Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis is just superb.

For me it would probably be a toss up between Superunkown and Wish You Were Here, or The Wall, or Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness.

Van Halen '1984'.

Just so I can have 'Jump' which is my favourite song of all time. The rest of it would just be a bonus.

[toasty]

Bat out of Hell springs to mind.

Origin of Symmetry by Muse.
