is Carla Bozulich's Red Headed Stranger. Seriously. I've mentioned it a dozen times on this forum but I have to insist. Your life isn't fulfilled until you hear this stunning record. It has the wonderful songs of Willie Nelson, some stunning lap steel played by Nels Cline, it has some electric mbira and Mr Electronic Tamboura, it has Carla's most beautiful vocals to date, and 2 duets with Willie Nelson himself. It comes in a beautiful digipack with a really cool picture of Carla. It'll haunt you day and night. It'll make you cry, laugh, dance, shiver, and throw away all your other records.

Thanks for the recommendation Denis i'll have to check this 'red headed stranger' out though i

think you might be a bit confused ;)


The best album EVER made is Scott Walker's 'Tilt'- a work of unrivalled depth, complexity and

beauty.

Well I'll check it out too then... But I do think you're out of your mind if you think it's better than Carla's RHS.

By the way, I forgot, you can order her album at http://www.carlabozulich.com and for $15 including postage you get the CD plus free stickers, t-shirts and stuff, and if you ask her she'll sign the CD.

Brian Wilson's SMiLE
is the best ever made

although I don't think that either
the beach boys recordings 1966/1967 or the BW recordings from 2004
do justice to the beauty of it

that's why it's so good

You people better enjoy having those albums being the best for the meantime, because I plan on writing the greatest ever! Haplodiploidy will place you into eternal awe. Haplodiploidy will explain how the human society is evolving into a female dominated world, therefore becoming haplodiploidy. The cause and effects will be explored as well.

Have you guys forgotten about "Bryan Adam's Greatest Hits"?

I thought so...

I've heard it's a concept album...a "rock opera" of sorts.

You're all nuts. The most beautiful album ever released is Kristin Hersh's 'Sunny Border Blue'. I say. I repeat. I swear.

However, as I'm open-minded, I ordered RHS just after your post, Denis. Actually I recently read an excellent review of it, so it wasn't too hard to convince me :)

The best album ever is Ellis Hooks - Uncomplicated.
Just kidding, that sucks.

Probably 3 Feet High and Rising by De La Soul. Though Sunny Border Blue is great too.

i would say that although its a boring choice, the beatles 'the beatles' aka the white album is the best album ever recorded. strong runners up include 'pet sounds' by the beach boys, 'dog in the sand' by you know who, and 'a love supreme' by john coltrane

An album that goes from Dear Prudence, to Bungalow Bill, to Piggies, to Savoy Truffle, to Everybody's Got Something to Hide Except for Me and My Monkey, has got to be a great album.

Not the best though.

That's TOTY.

Where's that favorite album cover thread? (edit: I now see it's already over there)

Is there a Pixies cover nipple exemption?

I've already put it in there Darwin. Feel free to duplicate it though. You can never have too much Surfer Rosa. Know what I'm saying Nic?

Yeah, but why don't we just say the combined album, the one with both of them on.

Because I like my vinyl ones, and they are not combined.

I'd say the best album is XTC's Skylarking.

At the moment I think it's 'Surfer Rosa'.

Or 'The Mask and Mirror', which marked my teenager era.
