"OK Computer" for me is the best album of all time. As far as the 1A's, the Black Sabbath "Reunion" double-live CD rocks my world, and as far as a Greatest Hits-type of thing, Stevie Ray Vaughn's first collection isn't ever very far my car CD player.

that my dear friends was a fantastic peice of work!
"You know the world is going crazy when the best rapper is a white guy, the best golfer is a black guy, the tallest guy in the NBA is Chinese, the Swiss hold the America's Cup, France is accusing the U.S. of arrogance, Germany doesn't want to go to war, and the three most powerful men in America are named 'Bush', 'Dick', and 'Colon. Need I say more?"

I love "Grace", but I really love "Sketches for My Sweetheart the Drunk", maybe because it's a glimpse into his creative mind. Most of the songs may have never been released because he didn't think they were up to his idea of perfection, though I think they're awsome.
The memories of my family outings are still a source of strength to me. I remember we'd all pile into the car - I forget what kind it was - and drive and drive. I'm not sure where we'd go, but I think there were some trees there. The smell of something was strong in the air as we played whatever sport we played. I remember a bigger, older guy we called "Dad." We'd eat some stuff, or not, and then I think we went home. I guess some things never leave you.
If a kid asks where rain comes from, I think a cute thing to tell him is "God is crying." And if he asks why God is crying, another cute thing to tell him is "Probably because of something you did."
Hey LaParka, Good call on naming Prince "Sign O' the Times". He's made some great albums, but that one is a standout. I think the Beastie Boys "Paul's Boutique" deserves a mention, as it made sampling an art form, though "License to Ill" is a CLASSIC party album.
Iggy and the Stooges: Raw Power. you could even make a better case for the self titled debut as well..
i'll also throw in a vote for Revolver, but one must include "The Velvet Underground & Nico" (the bananna album) as a highly influential record as well.
can't pick one so here's my top 5 1-Ozzy, blizzard of oz 2-Bob Marley, Legend 3-The Go-Go's, Return to the valley of the Go-Go's 4-The Clash, London Calling 5-The Ramones, Mania
The ghost of a steam train - echoes down my track It's at the moment bound for nowhere - just going round and round Playground kids and creaking swings - lost laughter in the breeze I could go on for hours and I probably will - but I'd sooner put some joy back In this town called malice
I'll second Matthew Sweet's Girlfriend. I can listen to that all the time. I'd also nominate Supergrass's In It For The Money. My favorite album, though, is a dub of mine from back in the day that has Appetite For Destruction on one side and Suzanne Vega's 99.9 F on the other. :)
Mmmm... Ashley Judd. The perfect woman. 1) Absolutely gorgeous. 2) Loves UK basketball. 3) Was on Star Trek. What more can you ask for?
Outstanding choice. I wore the grooves off that puppy.
VH1 Classic ran the video for "That's Entertainment" the other day....good stuff.

"Are you ready for COCKER?" "Not really." To tell the truth, I wasn't either. Some cities got My Morning Jacket as the opening act for Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers; others got Drive-By Truckers. Saskatoon got Joe Cocker.
