Hmm. Difficult one this, there's artistes I love - The Waterboys, Jackie Leven, The Smiths, Sparks - but for me, there's one album I never ever tire of listening to...
Dunno why, but for me it's a perennial classic...

Before you criticise a man, walk a mile in his shoes. Then, when you do - you'll be a mile away. And have his shoes.
Wavy grooves go thru a RigB 540ML on an SL1500C. Digits stream from a cheapie CDP and a Sonos, into a Yamaha 803D driving Kralk Audio little 'uns. I used to have a Linn but I'm better now.
'No Brainer' for me:-
Kind Of Blue - Miles Davis
This record has helped so many people to move on and cross that bridge from banal everyday pap to looking at new musical horizons and beyond It also involves some of the most respected musicians of our time, all masters of their instruments. Every track was and still is class!

This thread has been troubling me since it started - I couln't possibly choose one single album to take. (Actually on DIDiscs, it's 8 pieces of music, so ordinarily you wouldn't even be allowed a whole album!)
If I had to decide on one single album, it might have to be something that I've always found inpenetrable, that I've never really got on with, in the hope that I could play it enough to begin to understand it. I still don't know what that disc would be though.
Ten would be easier. Journey: Escape, Juana Molina: Son, Miles Davis: Porgy and Bess would all get on. But the album I'd be most upset to lose is:
Horse: The Same Sky
