OT: Favorite Non-Rap/Hip-Hop album?

For me it has to be...

The Format - Dog Problems. This album is the definition of dopeness :).

I like it more than one of my favorite Rap albums (LS), but not as much as my absolute favorite (The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill).

mines gotta be Just Be: Remixed - Tiesto. Yes its techno/euro/house :P

D'Angelo - Brown Sugar

The R&B Jesus

Though Prince's "1999" album, Jimi Hendrix's "Electric Ladyland" and Stevie Wonder's "Talking Book" give it a run for it's money. ultimately the R&B Jesus lives up to his name :oops:

I saw that coming as soon as I thought of making this thread... ^

That is probably my second favorite R&B album.

I honestly can't decide but it'd prolly be between Innervisions, Songs in the Key of Life, or There's a Riot Goin On.

it's a tie between these

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Blood Sugar Sex Magik

The Beatles - Abbey Road

Muse - Origins of Symmetry

I can't choose a fave Funkadelic album... their self-titled debut, Free Your Mind... And Your Ass Will Follow, Maggot Brain, One Nation Under A Groove, and Standing on the Verge of Getting It are all so good.

I dont really have favorites, but I really love Maxwells music. He's supposed to be coming out with a new album this year too.MellowMight

IDK there are a lot of them...I dont have a single favorite...

Craig David - Born to Do It
Zo! - Freelance
J. Holiday - Back of My Lac'
Michael Jackson - Thriller

from off the top of my head right now...

Dont Lie. You Bought It Too.

Slicker than your average is prob my least favorite...ive only listened to a little of it though.

For me it goes

Born to Do It, Trust Me, Slicker than Your Average and The Story Goes (only like one song which is Love Dont Stop, and its prob in my top 3 craig david songs) tied

Im listenening to Slicker Than Your Average right now and its a thousand times better than The Story Goes...and a lot better than I remember. Hidden Agenda is my fav so far

Slicker Than Your Average is by far his best album man...."Eenie Meenie," "You Don't Miss Your Water," "Fast Cars," "World Filled With Love," "Hidden Agenda," "What's Changed,"...so many good songs bro.

STYA > Born To Do It > The Story Goes = Trust Me

Trust Me's good, but it's definitely not the Craig of old....The Story Goes is alright, it grew on me, but the songwriting is so cliche...dope production, and Craig's voice is great, but the songwriting. Samething really with Trust Me...it's just a faster version of The Story Goes, with slightly better lyrics, and more skippable tracks.

:lol: Colt REALLY needs to thank me.

As for me:

How can you win by picking a band's fourth or fifth best album?

Anyway, some of mine:

The Rolling Stones - Exile on Main St. and Sticky Fingers
The Who - Who's Next
Jimi Hendrix - Band of Gypsys
The Allman Brothers Band - At Fillmore East
John Coltrane - Blue Train and A Love Supreme
The Beatles - Revolver and Rubber Soul
The Beach Boys - Pet Sounds
The Zombies - Odessey and Oracle
Love - Forever Changes

Lots of others that deserve mention, those are just the first that came to mind.

My absolute favorite album ever, though:

I think

Blink-182 - Untitled

Since I don't have one favorite I gave you three of my loves.

[QUOTE="TheBigTicket21"]Sgt. Peppers > any other BeatlesProobie44

a big ticket?

[QUOTE="TheBigTicket21"]Sgt. Peppers > any other BeatlesProobie44

If greatest hits albums count then Queen's Greatest Hits. Freddie Murcury may have been a homosexual with gay bathhouse tendancies, who coincidentally died of aids, but goddam hes a beast in the record booth.

Plus I listened to heaps of the songs off the album when I was a kid, so its also pretty nostalgic to listen to it now.

Other non-hip hop albums that I love are (in no order):

• System of a Down - Toxicity

• Jonathan Butler - The Source (I don't know if you would have heard of him. Hes a South African R&B/Jazzy-ish artist (I'm South African btw) and yeah...since my parents listen to him his music has been in the background of my life for aaaaaaaaages so its another mad nostalgic album for me.
• *Stevie Wonder - Songs in the Key of Life, Talking Book, Innervisions
• Eric Clapton Unplugged (only album I've got of his for some reason, plus Tears in Heaven is the ish)
• Thriller and Off The Wall by Michael Jackson
• Both Beatles Greatest hits (62-66 and 76-70)

I also really really like Hallelujah by Jeff Buckley...I have that entire album on my Itunes but haven't bothered to listen to any other song.

Hot Fuss - The Killers

Funeral - The Arcade Fire
