I'm off on holiday tomorrow and will have basically no internet for over a week. So naturally I'm downloading all the media I can think of, just in case of downtime.

Thought it might be fun to solicit some musical suggestions from you lot to help expand my mind. So here we are. What's your ultimate all-time #1 album?

My tastes are pretty eclectic* so feel free to suggest basically anything, and maybe I'll update after holiday and judge what I thought of them all. Or maybe not, you know, that sounds like potentially quite a lot of effort.

Cheers in advance!

* mostly on the alternative / rock side of things but also love various kinds of dance sub-genre on occasion and of course the genre-that-isn't-a-genre-at-all, Eurovision

Obviously an impossible ask, you fiend! Possibly either:

The Mountain Goats - The Sunset Tree

Aesop Rock - Skelethon

The idea was by asking for only one each, it would keep the list manageable.

This did not work.

Chroma Key You Go Now is one I listen to from start to end, so that's the first thing that comes to mind.

Though maybe there would be some more intense thing to listen to piece by piece that would be more appropriate for what might be a really long time.

Disintegration, The Cure. Not only does it have some of their most beautiful songs on, the production is incredible.

If you haven't left yet, I would recommend: wake up and it's over - by Lovejoy

Dream Theater - Train of Thought.

Yes, I know it's not their "best" album, but it's an album that I can listen to without skipping any song 100% of the time.

Appetite for Destruction - Guns N' Roses

Just over an hour of absolutely banging tracks, you start with the sound of siirens in Welcome to the Jungle and end on Axl fucking a woman in Rocket Queen which is also the best GNR song. My last car only had a CD player and this was a constant favourite. The only track that isn't a 10/10 is "Think About You" and even then it's still pretty fucking good.
