    An impossible choice but it would probably be Fleetwood Mac's Rumours with Beatles Revolver a close second.

    Although my favourite band is Led Zeppelin, narrowed down to the only one album, it is definitely:
    The Allman Brothers band live at Fillmore East

    Friday Night in San Fransisco is up there for me...

    However Lynyrd Skynyrd's One More a From the Road would have to be my choice.

    The Wall by Pink Floyd for me. Everything you need to know about songwriting and production is on that album.

    I had my first migraine listening to one of their albums in the car. Didn't play it again for several years, then played it driving to a shoot - and promptly got another migraine, with not a one in between.

    Especially if you have the recently remastered version with the 3rd 'demo' disc... it contains some totally different versions of the album tracks - some of which I prefer to the final cut (if you'll excuse the pun).

    Hmmm could be a long list, but,

    Paul Simon's Graceland, though Jean-Michel Jarre's Oxygene and The Boards of Canada's The Campfire Headphase run it close.

    love most mentioned, particularly:

    Dark Side of the Moon - Pink Floyd
    Elvis Greatest Hits

    But for some reason the one that I can hear playing in my head right now is:

    Screamadelica - Primal Scream

    Reminds me of Great times at Uni!

    All the Beethoven Symphonies are major, except the 5th (C minor) and the 9th (D minor).

    A tough one and my list of almost made it would be long...

    But it would have to be:

    Manson - Six

    It is one of those "find something new every time you listen to it" albums, is very evocative, and I love it. I am however, the only person on the planet that likes it...

    Both excellent albums.....but a bit too downbeat for the rest of your life! I`d need something a bit more uplifting.

    Not sure what I`d pick, that's a hard one. Probably Aja or Can`t buy a Thrill from Steely Dan. Or possibly a Northern Soul compilation.
