I always find PJ to be very moody..Therefore my best track from them of all time is Nothingman off the Vitalogy album. the line "use to be something..nothing man" fantastic!

It's called 8-Ball and is just incredible, recording quality is poor but it is a true classic, 8 mins long and whilst the first 4 minutes are excellent, the last 4 minutes are the best you will ever hear, whatever genre of music you like.

I've had that cd for years and don't think I've ever listened to all of it. Just had a listen to mentioned song and you're right it is a good'n! Sorry to say quite enjoy the following europop song by Sugar Ray too!

Listen to it a few times and you'll be hooked

'august and everything after' counting crows

'grace' jeff buckley

'o' damien rice

'ten' pearl jam

i realise i'm cheating a bit, but i couldn't choose.

I love Ten. I also have all of Pearl Jams CDs, but I always find it quite sad when the best album of an artist, is the first. Of course some may disagree, but the rest have been a shadow of Ten imo.

I`m sure most would agree that Ten was the best album. It got me thinking about other bands and how many could be considered to have peaked on their first album. Might be worth starting a thread on this one?

Good to see I'm not alone in liking The The - I thought Matt J was more or less forgotten by everyone else. Haven't listened to Mind Bomb in years though but Dusk is never far from the cd-player:

And have you ever wanted something so badly
that it possessed your body & your soul
through the night & through the day
until you finally get it!
And then you realise that it wasn't what you wanted after all.
And then those selfsame sickly little thoughts
now go and attach themselves to something....
....or somebody....new!
And the whole goddamn thing starts all over again.

The Good, the Bad and the Queen is a recent favorite. Paul Simonons hard and tight bass work really puts my Scorpios to work. A beautiful album.

Nothingman is a good choice, that is my favourite track off vitalogy. Eddies voice has never sounded better than on that track. it's a shame he's lost the high register of his voice in the last five years or so.

Sigur Ros ( ) Absolutely superb. Turn the lights off, crank up the volume and let it wash over you. The build up at the end is just fantastic.

Mendelsohnn's Violin Concerto

Beethoven's 7th Symphony

Maria Callas - 2 CD Set Music from TV, film and Opera.

It's got many of her most memorable Arias and is pretty captivating once you get into it. I heard of Maria Callas many years ago, but first really noticed her on hearing her performance of La mamma morta in the film Philadelphia. Very moving.

Because the music was recorded half a century ago, the sound quality isn't the best in terms of hifi. Nevertheless the quality of the music itself is more than enough to draw me in and make everything disappear for an hour or so. Magic.

Hmm this is a hard one.

Torn between two really

Pet Sounds - Beach Boys

Its a hard call but probably Siamese Dream by Pumpkins.

In my teens I was a big 'Infected' fan but I had it on tape, so it has long since gone. Having said that 'Soul Mining' is still a legendary album (in parts). That Uncertain Smile is special.

Never tire of that album.

Or Chemical Bros - Exit Planet Dust, Kruder and Dorfmeister - K&D Sessions or Thievery Corporation - Richest Man in Babylon.

All classics - in my own humble opinion of course!

where it all started for me - Electric Ladyland by Jimi Hendrix. Many of the subsequent 1000ish albums over 40 years have come very close but none has ever eclipsed it.
