Will just say that Love - Forever changes is my favorite album of all time so ill go. 1. Love - Forever changes 2. Pink Floyd - Piper at the Gates of Dawn 3. The Doors - The Doors

One of the best songs of all time.

Tomorrow I will do a long post of all the jazz fusions I love, and there are many that I would love to share, I did not read the whole thread so i may repeat, but for now, there is avery nice Jazz fusion album that came out this year worth checking out. The Comet is Coming - Trust in the Lifeforce of the Deep Mystery http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E5BMqK9pO-Q

Well since the decade is closing, what are some of your highlight albums for this decade? For me there are many, but some perfect ones (that will even have their own threads) David Bowie - Blackstar (2016) Sufjan Stevens - Carrie and Lowell (2015) *Might be my favorite album of the decade, very excited to talk about this more* Kendrick Lamar - To Pimp a Butterfly (2015) Danny Brown - Atrocity Exhibition (2016) Flying Lotus - Cosmograma (2010) Many many more amazing albums, but these are my 10/10 of the decade

Part 5: David Bowie Albums: The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars (1972) Blackstar (2016) Genre: Glam Rock, Pop Rock, Art Rock David Bowie is one of my favorite artists of all time, and they so many albums that come so close to 10/10 to me including The Man Who Sold the World, Hunky Dory, Low, "Heroes". I put these 2 above the others because of the emotions I feel while listening to these albums. All the others are amazing, but I just feel completely different after listening to Ziggy and Blackstar. I can honestly say also that I may like Blackstar more than Ziggy. Blackstar is one of my all time favorite albums and the confronting of his death is so sad and dark, yet beautiful in the way he expresses it. Its so hard to decide on my favorite songs from the 2 albums but I will try (and miss many) If I had to choose 5 I would say: 1. Moonage Daydreamer 2. Starman 3. Rock n Roll Suicide 4. Blackstar 5.I Can't Give Everything Away I am missing so many, but having to choose 5 is impossibly hard. What are your favorites that I am missing?

I believe all their albums up to Sabotage are essentials, I don't care for Technical Ecstasy or Never Say Die! as much. I will says there are a lot of songs I missed with their 10/10 albums. But hey their discography is filled with so many amazing songs.

Just here to make it to the first page, see you all at 25!

Of course you can, I’m really interested in what u choose, I’ll be watching out for them I may try "favourite bands" and do a brief summary on their discography, as I have a lot of love for bands and artists this forum isn't keen on Im excited to get to my list of albums maybe less people on this site may know, for example my arcade fire album is super popular and amazing, but on this site it may be lesser known

Of course you can, I’m really interested in what u choose, I’ll be watching out for them

I will have to check this out, been wanting to start listening to some podcasts, I guess a good way to start is with music.

Part 4: Black Sabbath Albums: Black Sabbath (1970) Paranoid (1970) Sabbath Bloody Sabbath (1973) Genre: Heavy Metal, Hard Rock Black Sabbath is in my top 3 favorite Metal Bands easily, and could even be my favorite metal band ever. We all know the genius of Paranoid and out of the 3, that is probably my favorite and most listened to album of the 3. Not a single song I don't enjoy (even planet caravan which is one of my favorite songs by them, highly underrated) Black Sabbath is next, the dark and creepy cover fits with the first song so well. The who album is a joy, and NIB probably being my second favorite song by them (following Fairies Wear Boots) Sabbath Bloody Sabbath is different from the other 2, using a lot more keyboards and strings and the flute, it brings a more progressive rock feeling to the album, and Ozzy's vocals on this album is incredible. All 3 are just about perfect in my eyes. An album that was close to making a 10/10 for me is Heaven and Hell, Ronnie James Dio is just an excellent vocalist and that album is just incredible, but not quite as amazing as the rest. Favorite Songs from the 3 albums: Black Sabbath The Wizard NIB War Pigs Planet Caravan Electric Funeral Fairies Wear Boots Sabbath Bloody Sabbath Killing Yourself to Live I could pick many more just from these 3 albums, but I will stop there. Do you agree with my choice? Or do you believe I have missed out on an album.

I would like to add 2 new albums released this week that are up in my favorites now FKA Twigs - Magdalene Mount Eerie - Lost wisdom Part 2

I should be careful when I say flawless, because I really don't think an album can truly be flawless. But MMT is a 10/10 for me even though I wouldn't say flawless, I do agree about Blue Jay Way being kinda a dud, but the score stands for me.

Not an album I expected to like, but its really great, what great vocals she has
