[D]o you have a favorite? I mean, the One Best Album Ever?
Well. With the proviso that "my favorite music" is possibly the only thing in the universe that violates the Planck Interval, I have to mention a couple of albums that frequently show up in that slot.
* Crest of a Knave by Jethro Tull (Yes, really, one of those that everyone else ignores: Budapest is maybe the best thing they've ever done).
* After Bathing at Baxter's by Jefferson Airplane (My definition of "seminal". I remember hearing this for the first time and realizing that this was something totally unlike anything I'd ever heard before).
* Dark Side of the Moon by Pink Floyd (Do I even have to explain?)
* Anything Led Zeppelin ever did. All of it. Any of it. But especially "Achilles' Last Stand".
* Liege and Lief, by Fairport Convention
* Tonight's the Night (Live), by Steeleye Span
* And a few Celtic albums by bands no one has ever heard of: "The Wizard and the Elven King" by Crwydryn (whom auntie_elspeth managed back in the day), "Murphy's Law" featuring Pol Mulvaney (s/k/a Dungael of Galway) and Mance Grady, and "How to Change a Flat Tire" a CT band from the 80's (?) that just kicked ass...and yes, that was their name.
