Abby Road
one favorite used to be Dark Side of The Moon, but the LP wore out. Synergy, Metropolitan Suite White Album, or at least the best half of it. ... dunno, I got lots of LP's and haven't even listened to them all. Honorable mentions: Wendy Carlos, Beauty In The Beast Heart, Dreamboat Annie The Court of The Crimson King Tubular Bells ETA: Do lists like these give away our ages? The latest one in my lists is well over 10 years old...

Dang. Ya beat me to the thread. I was going to post this two weeks ago when NPR ran a segment on the 40th anniversary of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band and how it is generally regarded as one of the greatest albums ever.
But my short post has turned into a 500+ word essay on why each album on my list is my favorite and I never got around to posting it. So, to make a long story short, and I'm not sure I can just limit myself to 5, but here goes. THese are all albums I never tired of listening to: Black Sabbath's debut album Captain Beyond's debut album Space Ritual by Hawkwind Look at Yourself by Uriah Heep Looking In by Savoy Brown Blues Band Twice Removed From Yesterday by Robin Trower Santana III Killer by Alice Cooper Crash Landing by Jimi Hendrix Aqualung by Jethro Tull Ted Nugent's solo debut album Journey's debut album Brain Salad Surgery by ELP DSOTM by Pink Floyd Romantic Warrior by Return to Forever A Funky Thide of Sings by Billy Cobham Energized by Foghat and I think I'll stop there.

![]() ...Okay, I'm sure this won't fit in with you guys and your vintage rock and roll tastes, but here goes.. A Boy Named Goo - Goo Goo Dolls Teaser and the Firecat - Cat Stevens Elephant (soon to be Icky Thump, I'm sure--if it'd EVER get here from Amazon! Grr!) - The White Stripes Sugar Ray - Sugar Ray The Unforgettable Fire - U2 Guero - Beck last but not least, an album that goes back to childhood: The Promises Promises Broadway Cast album. (Come on now, III, did you really think anyone could narrow it down to five? )
