I can't post pictures in this thread. Damn you captcha!!!

But according to Last.FM and Spotify: Susanne Sundfør - Silicone Veil.

But the album I keep playing for more than 28 years is Saga - Behaviour.
The one and only album I can't get enough of.

One album to rule them all? Well OK not that far! But I'd pick "An Electric Storm" by White Noise. Still sounds fresh. Still overlooked from 1969.

Fantastic album, just finished listening to it for the first time.  I will not get over how good this is.  Adding it to my next purchase list.  THANKS.

 


On the other hand you may or may not have realised that some time ago I picked Rubycon (any side) as one of the two tracks that changed my life in a parallel thread.

No such thing in my world. I have momentary favourites - some of which that stay lifelong companions but I don't rank them. I could basically give you a new favourite album every other day.
Right this minute my favourite album is Clivage's Mixtus Orbis. Not only because I'm listening to it as I type but because it's been with me for so long now and still feels like a genuine eclectic masterpiece.
Tomorrow though it may just be Amon Düül ll's Wolf City. I plan on spinning it tonight and it is bound to fire me up like a small star in my anus.

Of course there is no such thing, and I would choose something different every time I'm asked. But for today:

Life with just one album is no life but an abuse.

I am, also, highly inconsistent. A couple of weeks ago I made a list of my 10 favourite albums of the 2010s on PE. Today I happened to read over it. Not only do I not agree with any of my choices, they are clearly the work of a lamentable buffoon.

With all that said - the correct answer to this question is Steely Dan's The Royal Scam.
Soldato of the Pan Head Mafia. We'll make you an offer you can't listen to.

For Yes member solo albums I actually prefer Olias of Sunhillow over Fish out of Water but FooW is great too. I actually almost chose Olias over relayer. It's almost a toss up for me. A few runner ups for me would be Larks tongues in Aspic, Olias and actually not sure what else there's quite a few. The Snowgoose by Camel is up there for me as well.

For sentimental reasons and more I have to pick RUSH's Permanent Waves. So much history with this band and that album in particular.

If I could only listen to one album for the rest of my life, I'd probably have to settle on one of the officially released Grateful Dead shows, if that counts. One of the long ones, probably '72 or '73. Any would do, so long as the sound quality is good, and they play a nice, long Playin' In The Band, a jazzy Dark Star and a killer China Cat Sunflower > I Know You Rider. 8/27/72 would do. I feel like that would do as decent of a job as any of satisfying the prog, blues, folk, or southern rock urges that I would inevitably get over the span of a lifetime.

As far as a single studio album, I think that the one that checks the most boxes in terms of making my musical life complete would be this bad boy:
