For the last eight years it has been:
Coil - Stolen And Contaminated Songs

That is almost as long as any has been on top.

U2 - Pop

Replacing some tracks with the single versions still counts as only one album, right ?

Jazz: John Coltrane - Blue Train, Miles Davis - Sketches of Spain
Rock/Prog: King Crimson - In the Court..., The VU - White Light White Heat (this album is jagged diamond)
Indie: The Stone Roses - The Stone Roses
Classics: Sergey Rachmaninov - Rhapsody On A Theme Of Paganini (such a beautiful peace of music)
Hip-Hop/Rap: A Tribe Called Quest - Midnight Marauders
Electro: Tricky - Maxinquaye

Tricky's Maxinquaye is not electronica, it's hip hop.....

My all time favouritte is Grup Ekin - Gün Bizim.. among Turkish ones.
and Faith No More - Angel Dust - Among the English...

.

IMO Trip Hop. Though neither of you are quite wrong I'd say Electronica is closer to the mark than Hip Hop.

For me it's between Back in Black and Appetite for Destruction

I dont know if I posted here awhile ago, but...

Some contenders are:

Pink Floyd - The Wall
George Harrison - All Things Must Pass
Manic Street Preachers - The Holy Bible
REM - Automatic For The People
Smashing Pumpkins - Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness
The Verve - Urban Hymns
U2 - The Joshua Tree
Tool - Lateralus

Underworld - Live @ Cologne '99

I think its a bootleg!

++

Yeah, and his later efforts would rather be categorized as trip pop, go figure

Boston's debut. 17 million copies in the U.S. and counting.

Led Zeppelin 2. This album defines guitar and drums artistry for me, and encompasses the only blues songs I will ever like. From the frenetic emotional Heartbreaker solo to Bonhams masterpiece Moby Dick, it sets the standard for blues rock for all time. Litterally every song was a hit, and still gets play on 2 of my local radio stations. Ramble on, I mean who didn't like that song, cause you need to be hurt.

If I had to pick one, it'd be Meshuggah - Nothing.

For me the album ever is Heavier Things from John Mayer....

it's truly nice...

Weezer - Weezer

I also love Acclaimed Music for their compilation of hundreds of lists and ratings. It's great to see how so many people have rated thousands of albums of decades of time. My only complaint is that I think that the critics ratings are too biased towards "classic" rock. Fortunately they also filter albums by year, decade, etc. Overall it's a really great resource.

AC/DC - Live at Donnigton
Pink Floyd - DSOTM
Ska-P - Planeta Eskoria
Keziah Jones – Black Orpheus
Metallica - S & M

The last one just sounds perfect to me

Leftfield - Leftism

If someone said to me you are to be exiled to a remote island, where you will have plenty of food, water and electricity.

So choose a Hi-Fi system and one album or compilation to listen to for the rest of your life.

I would choose.............

The Rolling Stones - Unsurpassed Masters ( Vol 1 - Vol 6 ) ( bootleg ).

Cheers,
JHB.

Daft Punk - Discovery
Toonami - Deep Space Bass

Down with corporate rock!

Christian Death - Catastrophe Ballet
Gackt - Moon
Mila Mar - Elfensex
Queen Adreena - Taxidermy

Tupac - All eyez on me

or Tupac - Better Dayz

The Gathering - Home (and a handful of their other albums actually)
Bjork - Homogenic
Death Cab For Cutie - Plans
De/Vision - Sif Feet Underground

Keith Jarrett - Dark Intervals

Oasis - Definitely Maybe

It's the one that changed the way I looked at music, and lead me to discover other great bands - Beatles, Smiths, Stone Roses, etc.

The only album that I love every song and will listen to from first to last track is Iron Maiden - Powerslave. I have a whole bunch of favorite albums where I like almost every song, 4 Strings - Believe is the first that comes to mind in this sense, but there are a bunch of favorite albums where there are 1 or 2 or 3 songs that I don't like but absolutely love the rest.. I'd have to break those down by genre.

The Queen Is Dead (The Smiths)

Best track on the album: "There Is a Light That Never Goes Out"

Joan Baez, the first, eponymous, album.

There's a CD re-issue with "bonus" extra tracks, which were very wisely left off the original release. The criterion for inclusion was, obviously, perfection.

Rush - Moving Pictures

Hands down, the best. Every song is good, fresh, and still alive. Right up there with Led Zep II and IV, as well as Joshua Tree.

Quadrophenia -The Who

By far the best album ever by the Who, and by anyone ever!
Music when it still had emotion and meaning, not like commercial hip-hop or disney pop...

Joanna Newsom: Ys
