erm... you know they say as you get older all the "pop" music seems to sound the same?
well, I have just had a quick listen to some of this years new dance tracks and quite frankly they all sound like that Citroen advert (the one with the transformers car that goes ice skating)with the exception of Paul Van dykes "for an angel 09" that sounds just like "for an angel" methinks I shall queue for my pension now.
What's your favourite album of all time?

me = Telekon Gary Numan.

There's far too many good ones among my "favourites" for me to pick one above the rest.
But among my all-time favourites, for very different reasons, are: Klaus Schulze, Irrlicht; This Heat, This Heat; Nurse With Wound, Soliloquy for Lilith; Zoviet France, Mohnomishe and Egg, The Polite Force.

I too have many favouriites, but I insist you pick one.

Oh, all right then.
"This Heat", for its sheer stubborn eclecticism.

Mainly because of the first, self-titled album.
It was such a rough, strange collection, and ran the whole gamut from quiet, creepy barely-music that had obviously been recorded at 3am in a dismal tenement ("Music Like Escaping Gas") to complex hi-tech proto-jungle masterpieces that startle even today ("24 Track Loop").

After the subsequent maxi-single ("Health and Efficiency") and their signing to Rough Trade, things went downhill rapidly - that gig is from their twilight.

I suppose it was an unfair clip to use, but seriously those guys must have been so off thier faces
they were in another dimension to the rest of us. But, I will give you the 1st album as it was indeed strange, and I like strange :-)

first thing that came to mind was different class by pulp so i'm going to say that

my first choice was "The Golden age of wireless" by Thomas dolby
but I changed my mind and stuck with Numan as it really was the first album I wore out and had to buy a 2nd copy.

The first album I did that with was
The Beta Band - Three EPs

I love that album I do.
