All Day (Girl Talk album) by Gregg Gillis. I was so bummed that I didn't go to see him when he came to town about 7 years ago.
The samples are super crazy!

Here's a cool visualization of the samples:

The album I hold dearest to myself got to be this one - God this album gives me a lot of memories growing up:
Kyuss - And the circus leaves town

But the best album ever got to be:
TOOL - Ænima

I adore The Wall by Pink Floyd

Rendez-Vous by Jean-Michel Jarre. It would have been an even better album if the Challenger hadn't blown up. Read the Wikipedia article if you don't know what that means.

Only familiar with Oxygene.. I assume Render-Vous has the same style of music as Oxygene?
Of course with 80's synth sounds, less vocals etc..

How do you pick just one? That would mean it'd be the absolute best album in your opinion and that's kind of hard to define because there's so, so many.

I can't decide between a Western, Country, Pop, Hip-Hop, or an Electronic (Cyberpunk-style) album.

I'd definitely say Ennio Morricone's masterfully well put together artistical songs are something I'll never get tired of hearing.



RIP, Mr. Morricone.

I have more, but those on my mind at the moment are:

"Rumours" by Fleetwood Mac
"The Stone Roses" by The Stone Roses

Actually, it is very different. To borrow a phrase, it has more notes than Oxygene and is less boring than Oxygene, which is great for a first album but over-rated in hindsight.

1 is kind of new agey intro ; 2 sounds like a mix of 1812 Overture and Tocatta & Fugue in D minor; 3 is Laser Harp; 4 is pop single for radio; most of 5 is well, cheezy; Last Rendez-Vous is sax improv over dirge-like chords.

"Rumours" by Fleetwood Mac

I would highly recommend checking out their self-titled album if you haven't heard it already..

I haven't fully delved into his discography yet, only heard Oxygene.. and i like what i heard from that..
You mean it's "Different" from it but in a good way, with varied sound, influences, production etc.? Sounds cool. Might check it out, thanks!

A reason why almost 50 years later it is still classed as a masterpiece. I think Fleetwood Mac trump the beatles.

Yes. Though i wouldn't agree with your last statement..

 

[AkikoKumagara]

Technically two EPs which together contain an album's worth of songs, but my favorites are...

「Story of Hope」- Historia [2015]

「Story of Hope」- Alethea [2016]

If I had to pick one over the other, I would pick Historia. I don't think either of these CDs has any bad songs, though, tbh.

My favorite album is lowEMFradGamer by PRIMUS CREAMUS

The first track (zero EMF games) is a bop. Don't tell the mods but I have attached a free mp3 of the song that I got off LimeWire below

 

[DuduMil]

Rammstein - Sehnsucht

 

[ateliermae]

Right now I really like Twilight EP by Boa
