I haven't listened to it in a while, but Peter Gabriel's Passion is the very best imo... it works for any mood, any feelings, any situation... it's good for background, or concentration... I love it to death!!!

for me: Bjork - Homogenic
First I only liked a few songs on it, (Pluto even scared me,I didn't dare to listen to that) but I learnt to apreciate this album,and now,I love every single song on it!

I think Abbey Road by the Beatles is pretty much pefect... if it wasn't for Maxwell's Silver Hammer (which I like, but it isn't good ENOUGH), there would be no flaws.

I love U2... I think they're great... Actung Baby is excellent, Zooropa is really good, but a bit inconsistent I think... Pop is another excellent one!!! I think Pop is cool... they mix rock with clubby dance music... I dunno, I like it... their new album is pretty lame, every song just about has been worn out on the radio...
I haven't heard Passengers, but I really should search it out and get it...

I somewhat disagree with you astrid-gil-botn. Their pre-Actung Baby music was quite good and very original for it's time. They were a band with a purpose...very political.
After that though, they did what so many bands have done. They turn to POP shit and tend to go away. Just look at Metallica.

I think their newest album is pop crap... decent pop I guess, but still pure pop... I think that Achtung Baby through Pop were great albums... they were radio friendly, sure, but they mixed in techno stuff with it... I quite like those albums actually...

Herbie Hancock- "Manchild"
Before this, I listened to nothing but metal/punk/ and a very little Jazz. This is the album that made me fall in love with the back beat, and to this day has the funkiest smell that I've ever wiffed....
This is of course, subjective....I think everyone has had an album that changed the way they think about music....

I Care Because You Do, LP5, SAW2, Feed Me Weird Things, Claro, and Pole's CD 1 are all in the running for me, but Massive Attack's Mezzanine ultimately takes the cake. here's my criteria:
1) Adheres a certain theme or aesthetic (which can be subtle) but varies enough to keep things interesting
2) Seems to tell a story, but is vague enough that several stories could be inferred from it
2) Can be approached both analytically and as background music
3) Emotional and passionate but not to the point that I can only listen to it in very specific moods
4) Has a definite introduction and closing, so that when it's over I feel like I've been on a journey or adventure
5) Timelessness - this is very rare, I can't quite put it into words but Selected Ambient Works II achieved it overall and Drukqs and Hangable Auto Bulb did in certain parts. Something to do with not only the notes and tempo, but the quality of the sound and production.

The League Unlimited Orchestra - Love and Dancing. The perfect pop of the Human League remixed and mega-mixed (sic) into a supreme 35 minute journey of electronic music. I was given this as a present 22 years ago and it still gets played at least once a month. Any fan of electronic music should own this album.
