Agree with this. A truly great album SHOULDN'T fit every mood. Only easy listening albums do that.

Decent shout. Really nice album, absolutely lush production.
Also Revolver - The Beatles comes close but....Yellow Submarine is on it. So close.

I'm sure we did this yesterday. And the answer is the same, The Dark Side of the Moon
..although the Juno soundtrack album also works, funnily enough

Whitechapel
Famous Last Words
An absolute masterpiece of storytelling and arguably the best Hip-Hop album of the century so far
Thats a hard question.
NMTB - Sex Pistols, Changed the way I listened to music.
Stations of Crass- Crass, Changed my whole way of thinking.
But a little known LP that came out a couple of years ago by a Brighton band called POG, is right up there. I recommend, Between the station and the sea. It all about Brighton and Brighton folk a simply suburb bit of work. Every track is just so well written IMHO.

Coupla slightly stinky ones on there in my opinion.

I would suggest that when you consider the album cover with the music, then Argus is the perfect cover.
It fits perfectly with the songs
Time Was
Sometime World
Blowin' Free
The King Will Come
Leaf And Stream
Warrior
Throw Down The Sword
and at 44.45 is the perfect length for a single vinyl album

Not the JPF ..splitters !
Ha ha ha, compared to some of the stuff I listen to, this is a jolly upbeat perfect rock and roll album. Now, any long exposure to Discharge, and I would agree with you.

these two:
Sonic, visual and lyrical perfection. Both of them. Beautiful, beautiful albums.

Coming from the vinyl generation I would often only listen to 1 side of an album. Recently hearing some Lloyd Cole I got Rattlesnakes on CD thinking I've really loved that album but on listening to it I found side 2 was a virtual mystery to me.
So albums I have listened to, all the way through, more times than is good for my mental health are Dark Side of the Moon and Bat Out of Hell.

David Bowie - The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars
Motörhead- 1916
Guns n Roses - Appetite for Destruction
Metallica - Metallica
Slaughter and the Dogs - Do it Dog Style
Kendal Carson - Rearview Mirror Tears
Not a single filler on any of those beauties.

Really good call, IMO best listened to in a slightly darkened room, or when driving at night with the volume turned up, same with Lodger.
