I’m off on holiday tomorrow and will have basically no internet for over a week. So naturally I’m downloading all the media I can think of, just in case of downtime.

Thought it might be fun to solicit some musical suggestions from you lot to help expand my mind. So here we are. What’s your ultimate all-time #1 album?

My tastes are pretty eclectic* so feel free to suggest basically anything, and maybe I’ll update after holiday and judge what I thought of them all. Or maybe not, you know, that sounds like potentially quite a lot of effort.

Cheers in advance!

* mostly on the alternative / rock side of things but also love various kinds of dance sub-genre on occasion and of course the genre-that-isn’t-a-genre-at-all, Eurovision

Dream Theater - Train of Thought.

Yes, I know it’s not their “best” album, but it’s an album that I can listen to without skipping any song 100% of the time.

Disintegration, The Cure. Not only does it have some of their most beautiful songs on, the production is incredible.

If you haven’t left yet, I would recommend: wake up and it’s over - by Lovejoy

My “album I’ve listened to for nigh on 40 years” is Paul Simon’s Graceland

Only album from my teenage years that never got old

I was at the concert at the Albert Hall in '86 (?). Amazing.

+1 for Graceland. For me it’s ‘Hearts and Bones’. Good on you for keeping the legends alive!
