Your favorite album - Cigar Asylum Cigar Forum

I love music! I have recently hit 100GB's of music in my collection which is pretty decent for me. However, I'm always looking to expand and listen to new and different types of music. So, I thought this thread would be a great way for everyone to share their favorite album and maybe give a quick little blurb about what type of music it is and why its your favorite. In this way we can all check out music that may be new to us.

I know I will sure appreciate it :-)
So post away CA fam

:-)

Edit - You can list as many albums as you'd like. Not limited to just one :-)

I'll give it a go as well.

Danzig - Lucifuge

I have a deep seated love for Metal and having been originally raised in the South, a great appreciation for blues. This album is the quintessential Danzig album IMO. It combines Glenn Danzig's dark brooding metal with blues influences and generates an amazing sound. Danzig's voice is unique and may not be for everyone however it has been stated he sounds like "Jim Morrisson in Hell". :-) I tend to agree with this description. The album has a varied mix of styles on it and I never get tired of listening to it. Tired of Being Alive is my favorite track followed by Her Black Wings and Girl. Give it a listen if you're a metal fan.

The Misfits: Static Age

This is quintessential Misfits. The songs on this album are what the Misfits are all about. They're my favorite band and they have been since I was 12, it was this album that did it for me.

Metallica - S&M

I have always loved both Metallica and classical music, so when I heard there was an album that incorporated both, I was sold. All the greatest Metallica songs accompanied by the San Fransisco Orchestra. Simply Awesome.

Eric Clapton - Complete Clapton

I have always loved Clapton, and this gives a taste of him all the way back to Cream and Blind Faith and then up to his solo stuff as well as projects with BB King and JJ Cale (who originally recorded "Cocaine")

Both great albums guys :-)
I've really been trying to expand my horizons and have stumbled upon some truly great bands lately. So I'm looking to continue the trend. Feel free to suggest more than one as well if you have more than one

They are? That is interesting. Their first CD release in '86 is must find, but pretty rare. I liked them, but was never crazy for them. Out of the punk/hardcore bands of that era, Black Flag, Meat Men, Bad Brains, Government Issue, FU's, Verbal Assault, Murphy's Law, and Slap Shot I liked the most.

Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon

Do I really need to explain this one?

Van Morrison - Astral Weeks Live at the Hollywood Bowl

Astral Weeks was his seminal album as a young singer. He recorded a live version about two years ago. With his now 30 year later aged voice it is one helluva an album.

Earth A.D.? That was 1983.

Since we can have more then one...
My other favorite album of all time is:

Godsmack - Faceless
As my other favorite band (tied with Metallica) I love this album because of their dark sort of grunge style that comes across, as well as it is probably thier best album to date.

I am a huge metal fan, most of the stuff I listen to my wife categorizes as 'Angry Music'

BUT I would say my favorite album is not in this category. Its one that I go back to all the time, just not in my regular Playlist.

Otis Redding Greatest Hits

Jay-Z Reasonable Doubt

Metallica - Metallica (AKA "Black Album")

Simply awesome.

Tough one but I will probably have to go with

Tool "Aenima"
[Reply]

Catch 22 - Keasby Nights. A classic 3rd wave ska album, every song is great.

Stormtroopers of Death - Live at Budokan. I can't even describe why I like this album but it's awesome.
[Reply]

I can't have just one:

Skeletons from the Closet--Grateful Dead
American Beauty--Grateful Dead
The Complete Studio Recordings (Box Set)--Led Zeppelin
