Quadrophenia - The Who.

Would make me feel 15 for the rest of my life.

Bob Dylan's "Infidels" - definitely not the best sounding album that I own, but the one that I wouldn't want to be without. Some great tracks, with great lyrics/vocals by Dylan and Knopfler on guitar.

Dr.Feelgood - Malpractice.

I never ever get bored of listening to this album. By far my most listened to album. Wilko and Lee Brilleaux at their very best!

Greatest Hits - Eagles

Was there ever a better driving tune than Hotel California?

Or Life in The Fast Lane?

Or One Of These Nights?

Or...

The Empyrean - John Frusciante. So much going on, and I love the mix. Always extra things to find in there.
Was rooting around for something new to listen to and just gave this a listen after reading this thread. What a piece of music!

If you can count live albums then it'd be -
Queen - Live at Wembley '86

Otherwise I guess it's have to be either - Guns n Roses - Appetite for Destruction or
Black Sabbath - Paranoid

In that case it's Queen - Live at Wembley then as I've listened to it hundreds of times over the past 20 something years and still think it's amazing!

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.

Cannonball Adderley and Miles Davis - 'Somethin' Else' - best record ever made by a country mile. Nothing comes close.

Irish Tour '74.

Still the only album I own on vinyl, cassette and CD.

Steely Dan - Can't Buy a Thrill

I'm going to have to withdraw my original suggestion, listened to it recently and feel I've over played it. Great album but I've heard it one too many times.

The Nightfly by Donald Fagen. Must have played it a million times but it still puts a big smile on my face from beginning to end. You hear something new every time, way ahead of it's time, the perfect album.

Pink Floyd - Pulse Live at Earls Court

I'd prefer the DVD version as it includes 'One of These Days'.

Jean-Michel Jarre - Oxygene

The album changed my life, had never heard anything like it. He never bettered it either.

I've played it a billion times, bought it on every format it was ever released on.

It's perfect.
