Favorite album/CD?

[evans]

You must like the majority of songs.

I really like listening to complete albums so send me some suggestions in the form of your favorites!

[ijack]

Paul Simon - Graceland

[marclovesme]

Red Hot Chili Peppers - By the Way

Not my favorite album, but I can listen to the entire thing.

[Deleted]

The Clash -- London Calling
U2 -- Joshua Tree
Counting Crows -- August and Everything After

[simpsongal]

Hard to recommend without knowing your musical tastes. For me:

Just about every Beatles album, espcially "Abbey Road," "Sgt. Peppers," "and Rubber Soul."
Bruce Springteen "Born to Run" and "The Wild the Innocent the E Street Shuffle."
The Travelling Wilbury's "Handle with Care."
Norah Jones "Come Away with Me."
The Dixie Chicks, "Fly."
"O Brother Where Art Thou?" Sountrack
Forrest Gump Soundtrack
"American Idiot" Green Day
"Pet Sounds" Beach Boys
"The Stranger" Billy Joel

Those are a couple off the top of my head.

[Deleted]

Fleetwood Mac - Rumours, Tusk
Stevie Nicks - In Your Dreams, the Wild Heart
Bruce Springsteen - Born to Run
Adele - 21
Florence and the Machine - Lungs, Ceremonials

Those are the albums I can put on and know I won't touch my iPod until they are over.

I don't really have "all-time faves," since I tend to listen to something to death, then get sick of it, lol. So in 5 years, these may very well annoy me But the following I've loved long enough to call true favorites, but not long enough to have ODed on them.

Death Cab - Plans
Arcade Fire - Funeral
Guster - Lost and Gone Forever
Decembrists - The King Is Dead
Mumford and Sons - Sigh No More
Frightened Rabbit - The Midnight Organ Fight
