Here in the states, several radio stations over the Memorial day Weekend (last Monday in May) will have people vote (generally before the weekend) on their favorite song /album. Around here, near Detroit, the "Classic Rock" station that I listen to has has the top 500 albums for several years. Generally, every year, it ends up being Led Zepplin (ZoSo - IV) / "Stairway to Heaven" or Pink Floyd "Dark Side of The Moon". Granted, I love these albums & songs, but I have especially have gotten "sick" of "Stairway to Heaven" winning "best song EVER" close to every year!!!! The Beatles Abbey Road & The White Album usually end up maybe 4 & 5 on this list. And the station will have pretty much - any "classic Rock" person in South-east Michigan vote for their "favorite". Any thoughts????

Right now I'm going to say the best album ever is Blonde On Blonde, but I'll have a different answer for that one every six hours or so. It'll be Revolver around 4:00 PM, Sound Affects at dusk and Exile On Main Street by about 3:00 AM.
I can't believe people are still flogging "Stairway To Heaven," even on classic rock stations. Zeppelin were always better doing this sort of thing, I think:
Is this none Beatle best ever? Its down to my own opinion time , when you pick your best ever , i tend to think albums like Dark Side Of The Moon is a masterpiece and allways in the running as best album ever but i Love Wish You Were Here my fav Floyd album So then In My Opinion the best album is After Sgt Pepper Its Quadrophenia - The Who . I still play it and not skip a single track on a double album after 30 years is not bad in my book .
No Phil was mentioned in the making of this post.

I'm generally the same way. What song is going thru my head when I wake up is not what's going thru my head by time I have Breakfast / shower. And by lunch - it's something else. I "try" not to say "Beatles kick EVERY OTHER MUSIC EVER", but this might not be fair, I just "prefer" The Beatles over a lot of others. There are albums that are "manitory" in ones collection (every one mentioned in this thread is in my collection.) I'm just not in favor of "Stairway" being "all THAT great" - good ok. ("Stairway" better than "Day in a Life"??? - No way, but my option, to someone else, that's your option.)
(If a song gets into your head and you "want it out", what do you do?? I just start humming the last part of "Hey Jude", since it basically just keep going on and on. Evenually, I get rid of the other song. Can Anybody tell ... that I work by self and have nobody else to talk to!!!! guess this is what happen's when you're in a big building and no one to talk with!!! Just glad I'm a Beatle nut in DM's Beatle Forum!!!!)
Best album " EVER " thats none Beatles would be David Bowie " Hunky Dory " or Pink Floyd " Wish You Were Here " can't really decide which is the best between these two brilliant albums .
well, my fav album ever really is Sgt Pepper, but there are so many albums i play constantly which i cannot live without,
What's Going On - Marvin Gaye Villlage Green Presevation - Kinks The Band - The Band Pet Sounds - Beach Boys Meat is Murder - the Smiths Blue - Joni Mitchell Talking Book - Stevie Wonder Blonde on Blone - Dylan...........to name a few.

Great list: for myself, I'd throw in some Curtis Mayfield, Paul Weller, Chuck Berry, and Little Richard.
Best album..........hhhmmm.......... Ok.......... My "favorite" album I can't live without is the Beatles "White Album". It's just so different and "strange"..... Next would be Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon".......Hello.....dude.....on Billboards' top 100 for over 14 YEARS.......... ..............and Emerson, Lake and Palmer's "Tarkus".........not Brain Salad Surgery, but I really, REALLY like this album.......it's in my cd player in the car right now.... And I've got to have King Crimson's first album, "In The Court of The Crimson King". I love Zep, the Stones, you know..........but these four listed are the four I LOVE.
"There might have been things I missed, but don't be unkind, it don't mean I'm blind, but there it is......"
Not to mention..............."Sgt. Pepper" and "Abby Road".........I love all the Beatles' early work, but I ADORE the later stuff........no more be said............
"There might have been things I missed, but don't be unkind, it don't mean I'm blind, but there it is......"
Weller's another of those guys it's hard for me to pick favorites of because the pieces all seem to make the most sense as parts of a whole, at least to me. I hear the Beatles the same way. But I particularly like The Jam's In The City, Setting Sons, and Sound Affects; and Paul Weller, his first solo album.

Indeed Wellers 1st solo album was spot on as is Wild Wood, Live Wood & Stanley...Not been too impressed by his latest offerings though...Anyone catch 'Invisible' on Jools Holland the other night? More like 'misreable.' lol In fairness, he did have to perform straight after Jimmy Cliff belted out many rivers to cross...
best album ever....back to topic...ummm.....Well....Stevie, Curtis, DSOTM are all up there...like Douglas it changes all the time.
The best album ever has still to be made...Today I'll say, Inner Visions & Nuyorican Soul but I acknowledge the Zep & Floyd are probably closest to a complete best album as in start to finish for me. I did once upon a time love Sting's Ten Summoners tales as a good contender for all the way through album. Theres always a song that ruins it somewhere on an album though...even with my beloved Beatles. heheheh.

To elaborate that last attempt a bit....The best album ever in my eyes is one where every song start to finish is a corker. That proper narrows it down. Easy to pick a best album where you like most of the songs....Gee I'm not awake yet! lol
