Okay. This is one where there are no wrong answers. Not your favorite song.............but your favorite album. Since most of you who know a little bit about me will probably think it's a bluegrass album. Wrong............. It's ZZ Top, Tres Hombres. Samples of the songs can be found here: http://www.amazon.com/Tres-Hombres-ZZ-To...2008&sr=8-1What's yours? Bob

Just think of an "album" as a compilation of songs and ideas. A perfect example would be "Pink Floyd, Dark Side of the Moon".
I'm not a Pink Floyd fan, but I think this is a great album.

Too hard for me to answer. I have too many favorites to pick one.

Josie,
If you pick one, and then change your mind.........post that one too.
This could be interesting. Remember, no wrong answers.

ZZ Top's "Tres Hombres" is a good album. Then there's The Eagles' "Hotel California" album.

Billy Joel's "Innocent Man" is one. I remember searching all over Nashville to find a copy of CSNY Four Way Street. Bob Marley was a fav.

I guess it's hard to say 'this is my 'favorite' because that depends on my mood, or what I want to hear, etc.
If I were to define 'favorite' as an album that I go to listen to when I just need to listen to 'something familiar' then I would have to say that it would be Henry Mancini's 'The Music From Peter Gunn.'

I'm blessed watching God do what He does best. I've had a few rough years, and I'm still not back to where I want to be, but I'm on the way and things are looking far better now than what they were!

One Good Turn (Mark Colby - just cause I like it)
8:30 (weather report live)
One Trick Pony and Graceland (Paul Simon - with great musicians)
Under the Table and Dreaming (Dave Mathews)
Live at Hollywood Bowl (Chuck Mangione and many great musicians)
Tyzik (Jeff Tyzik)

Abbey Road
Chris de Burgh's Spanish Train and Other Stories - he's a superb writer
on the RSO label 'Fire In The Wind' - by the late John Stewart who had a 1980 #5 hit "Gold" and wrote "Daydream Believer". Former member of the Kingston Trio. Great writer - over 40 albums during his life.
Any Harry Chapin album
Cheers - Ian

OK, I may be showing my age, and keep in mind that I may have been a little influenced (or under the influance  .) by the "culture" of the day, but these are two albums I played till the grooves ran through... Veedon Fleese - Van Morrison Blood on the Tracks - Dylan

Since some of you listed more than one, (rharv got his top 18 in, LOL), so I'll list another.
The absolute best bluegrass/newgrass album ever is Tony Rice, Manzanita.
Talk about an all star lineup:
Tony Rice – guitar, vocals
Darol Anger – violin
Sam Bush – mandolin, violin, vocals
David Grisman – mandolin
Jerry Douglas – dobro
Ricky Skaggs – mandolin, violin, vocals
Todd Phillips – bass
We're getting a really interesting list here. Please keep them coming.
Bob

Sir Georg Solti, Chicago Symphony, Beethoven 5th.
Oops
Actually, it's Sgt Pepper. Not just the music, but because I discovered it with someone special.

I can relate - I've had to replace a few due to wear also. Even wore out the cassette copies I made first and still wore out the album.
Thanks for the reminder, there were some pretty great Dylan albums over the years.

Ah... that's an impossible question to answer. There are more albums made than I have heard yet. Furthermore my musical likings are pretty diverse. Some examples: The mask and the mirror - Loreena McKennitt Streets - Savatage Vaya con dios - Vaya con dios (you've probably never heard of them: click here and here A must do!!!) Alchemy - Dire Straits Ehm...I'd better stop now. The list will go on and on and grow even more diverse as I go

Thanks Ray, that's one of the Miles' ones I was trying to think of yesterday and didn't want to uncrate the LP's to find it.  There's another by him too, but 'old-timers' seems to be setting in! Maybe it's time I do pull out some of the older stuff and give it another listen. It may reinforce some of the old cells.
