I stumbled across a Beatles forum a while ago,and the burning question under discussion was, "What's your favourite Beatles album?" Like it's possible to decide, or consensus could be achieved. So I typed "the last one I heard" and moved on.
But like a bad TV commercial, the idea wouldn't go out of my head. So, against my better judgement, here is my list of favourite albums (excluding the Greatest Hits, since that would be cheating).
AC/DC - Back In Black. Easy.
The Band - Music From Big Pink. They could have stopped there.
The Beatles - yes.
Bonnie Raitt - Luck of the Draw. Tough call.
B.B. King - Deuces Wild. I know it's cheating, but you get his greatest hits repackaged with some great guest artists.
The Cars - A tie. The Cars and Candy O.
Cat Stevens - Another tie. Tea for the Tillerman and Teaser and the Firecat.
Colin James - National Steel. More acoustic and less big band, please.
Cream - Wheels of Fire. 'cause it has two discs.
The Cult - Electric. In case you care.
Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here. Maybe it's the cover.
Deep Purple - Another tie. Shades of ... and Fireball. Not Machine Head, not that I don't like that.
Dire Straits - yes.
Elvis Costello - My Aim Is True. It was.
Eric Clapton - Crossroads. OK, that's cheating. So From the Cradle. No wait! Me and Mr. Johnson. Wait! ...
The Guess Who - Share the Land. Just to be contrary.
James Taylor - Sweet Baby James. Unsurpassable.
Jeff Beck - nope
Jethro Tull - Mood dependent, but let's say Stand Up.
More later.
