Yes....The Beatles ...White LP forever.

There's Presence (with matching white lettering for the title), Station To Station and Wish You Were Here, Mothers Live in 1971 to think of as well. Oh and Bad Company's Desolation Angels.

,what was the question.

Oh yes.

So which one is your favorite? I honestly can't decide.


You cannot decide which is my favourite. So how would I know?

Is it the art or the content btw?

Of the selection it is                                             .

As for albums with a white cover - give me Italy's Celeste S/T, Motorpsycho's Death Defying Unicorn or even Yatha Sidhra's A Meditation Mass over these in the list......

Me neitherSmile




wow man.  That really blows my mind.  I could understand if one was still fighting acne and digging DT, but it surprising me musical nuts of a certain age haven't heard it. It is... like going to church.. being a Christian.. yet not even having read a single page of the bible.

I probably should explain a bit. I grew up with the Beatles music and love so many of their songs but the sonic qualities (or rather lack of) on their albums leaves me a bit cold. I hardly ever play Sgt Peppers or Revolver for that matter and so I just haven't bothered to venture beyond that. So basically I'm quite happy to hear them occasionally. I don't listen to In The Court very much either similar reasons that it just isn't great sound wise. I need some punch. Basically I don't listen to much sixties music although I will make an exception for Love Forever Changes and Chicago's debut.

I had a feeling it might be something like that.

btw bonus McClappies for the Chicago debut mention. What a great album!

OK - Chicago IV. Great quadruple live set !! And I think, as a bassist, Pete Cetera nailed it. No Jaco or Percy, but perfect for the band.

That was the missing album from this thread! Recorded at Carnegie Hall, right? The first handful of Chicago albums were ground breaking. I have a couple of them remastered and yearn for the time 'IV can be injected into my collection. By the way, FYI, David Gilmour added his talents to a couple of songs on a Cetera album in the late '80s.

Hmmm... the alternative choices you've all mentioned are all as wonderful as the poll choices. Think I'll make a personal list of all the albums mentioned, and one that wasn't:

1) The Beatles – The Beatles

2) The Death Defying Unicorn – Motorpsycho & Stale Storlokken

3) Wish You Were Here – Pink Floyd

4) Chicago (II) – Chicago

5) Principe di un Giorno – Celeste

6) The Snow Goose – Camel

7) Chicago IV – Chicago

8) A Meditation Mass – Yatha Sidhra

9) The Wall – Pink Floyd

10) Station to Station – David Bowie

11) Fillmore East, June 1971 – Frank Zappa & The Mothers of Invention

12) The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway – Genesis

13) Presence – Led Zeppelin

Pink Floyd, The Wall.
When he rides, my fears subside.
For darkness turns once more to light.
Through the skies, his white horse flies.
To find a land beyond the night.

Thumbs Up  more to be found in terms of great song writing, great music, and outright creativity on perhaps any one side than any of those others had in the whole album. Much less taken as a whole.

Apart from While My Guitar Gently Weeps and Mother Nature's Son, I think The White Album is utterly ordinary. i was brought up in The Beatles era and I never "got" them or why they were so revered. And the hippy trippy s**t they surrounded themselves with left me completely cold.

All the other albums here are vastly more creative and interesting, even if The Lamb and (particularly) the Wall are rather patchy. 

 
Think of The White Album as three separate solo albums by Paul McCartney, John Lennon and George Harrison.
There's enough material there to suggest to me that all three would qualify as candidates for the greatest album in the history of popular music. In fact, nothing any of The Beatles did in their subsequent solo careers comes close to what they contributed to The White Album. The shame of it is that The White Album lacks any cohesive whole to it due to the infighting going on in the studio at the time and the inability of George Martin to bring the warring factions together.
