Someone posed the question to me recently and it really was a difficult question to answer. I'd really like to find out what you guys and girls rate your top three albums as, however mainstream / diverse they may be.
**It would help if you added a little bit of information as to why you chose each album. Please don't discuss which artists album is better and why, it's about YOUR OWN choice and no one elses. Post with similar enthusiasm or don't post at all please. Album art and links would be perfect also.**
I've had some time to think and at present my favourite three albums would be (in no certain order):
-----------------------
Les Rythmes Digitales - Darkdancer - Really can't remember how I found this album but it's always been at the front of my music collection and has never failed to deliver. Clearly heavily influcence by Jean Michelle Jarre who I also like very much. It just hasn't aged, it sounds as good today as it did nine years ago, really is brilliant. If you like electronica and want to experience sonic perfection, i recommend this
-----------------------
Air - Moon Safari - I'm sure many of you are familiar with this album, I heard Sexy Boy on the radio and was blown away, i bought this album over ten years ago, a remarkable album which I doubt the duo will ever better. Antonia bought me the anniversary 3 disc album for Christmas, there really are some interesting remixes and also some demo's on the bonus discs. Well worth checking out.
-----------------------
Massive Attack - Protection- The third album was always going to be the hardest to choose, it was between this album and another album by Massive Attack (Mezzanine). I heard a bit of Massive Attack here and there, few songs from Blue Lines and also from Protection. Protection was the first album I bought by the collective, shortly followed by Black Lines and the No Protection remix album. I'm just in awe of what these three guys have managed to produce over the years and who would have thought Paul Oakenfold could remix such a great track into something thats perhaps even better than the original (Unfinished Sympathy). But above all that Massive Attack have produced, Protection has been my favourite album, from the title track, to Sly and Karmacoma. Fuck'n awesome, not much more i can say!
-----------------------
I guess you could say i'm a fan of electronica/digital music but to be fair, it was hard to avoid it growing up in the 80's. I hope by creating this thread it will be added to with enthusiasm and not flaming and criticisms. Its your choices and don't feel you have to try too hard!
