OK I got to thinking today about my favourite albums. Now by this I mean albums/CDs that I listen to from start to finish as an album in the way the artists intended rather than albums that I like some of the tracks on, but not others.

So let's have a little post on this subject. Your favourite albums you listen to in their entirety - compilations and Greatest Hits and the likes are not eligible.

OK here's mine:

1) David Bowie - Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars
2) Peter Gabriel - Melt/III
3) U2 - Achtung Baby
4) Kate Bush - The Kick Inside
5) Joy Division - Unknown Pleasures

5) Tell all your friends - Taking back Sunday

Not fair to disallow greatest hits or compilations, some of my favourites are soundtracks and Queens Greatest Hits is better than any individual album.

So...

Mark Knoplfler - Local Hero
Dire Straits - Alchemy
Dixie Chicks - Home
Shawn Mullins - Souls Core

I can't think of a single album that I own that doesn't have at least one track that I generally skip. The only ones that get an occasional skip-free play are all my Chicane albums and The Joshua Tree by U2.

I tend to listen to all my music on MP3 so compile playlists of my favourite songs across whatever genre I'm in the mood to listen to. These then get bunged onto CD for the car but then I still end up skipping tracks

thesyn

Again in no order, listening to bits of all of these on i-pod currently
The Stooges-The Stooges
Pink Flag- Wire
Stranger Days- The Doors
Off the Wall- Michael Jackson
