It changes every other day or so, but I think 'OK Computer' by Radiohead is one of my all time favorites.

I like it because it is a true album, as opposed to a collection of songs. It is interesting and almost challenging to listen to because the songs are unusual but not avant guard. Finally the music speaks to me emotionally and I personally can make a connection to the music.

Thanks for starting us off. I liked your "reason why". It is interesting to see how/why one is drawn to the music.

Oh, I almost forgot. OK Computer also makes my ears happy!

Yes- very important!

Colleen said her favorite album of all times is Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon. She says she likes to listen to it in the dark because it is spacy and soothing. She also likes the female vocal solo from the song 'Breathe' because it is little more than raw emotion.

David Bowie - Ziggy Stardust

This album transports me to a time when I was 15 years old, and everything seemed simple then. Listening to these songs, I am reminded of what it felt like to be that teenage girl, so in love with my boyfriend, living life to the wildest and fullest.

Juanita:

I like your selection. Cheap Trick had so much more energy live, than they did in the studio. Their sense of fun just really stood out when they were on stage.

My new thing lately is:

When I'm not listening to talkradio or Christen radio I pop over to the CD of the Wizard of OZ sound track.

Strange I know...but I makes me smile.

My faviorate is "If I only had a Brain" and I like to sing along. Go figure!! Ha Ha :)

And I like the way the movie turns out... He always had a brain and me too. I love Happy endings.

I grew up listening to albums in Eglish as well as in Chinese. My Mother loves music and I played the albums she purchased and sang along - besides some song books. Those albums included Chinese pop songs and Chinese operas...

My Brothers and Sisters bought many albums as well. I listened to all of them without discrimination. Many of them were collections of best hits and some were musicals that had been made into movies.

I grew up listening to 'My Fair Lady' and loved Audrey Hepburn. Then it was 'Paint your Wagon' with the low bass of Lee Marvin.
We watched just about all of Dick Van Dyke's movies like 'Chitichiti Benben' and 'Mary Poppins'. I knew the melodies of Chim-chimney... before I even knew the meaning of the words.

When 'Tower of Inferno' was showing, I was already in high school and well remembered the songs in other disaster movies like the Poseidons. I think Dr. Zhivago's 'Somewhere my love' was the most beautiful song ever made for a movie. Then of course, there's the theme song of 'The God Father'.

Anything by Joe Cocker or Janis Joplin. I won't go into detail.

I like Abraxxas, by Santana. (good spring-time grilling music) and Wish You Were Here, Pink Floyd. (good painting music) and anything by Neil Young (good hang-around-the-campfire-music) and half of Bob Dylan's stuff (half is good house-cleaning music, the other half is well...you, know...makes you wanna hop off a bridge real quick type stuff)

o.k. things are getting interesting.
Buffalo Springfield (Retrospective) - the best time travel in the world- at least for me
Neil Young (Greatest Hits)- I agree, Bill, anything at all here:
(1) I love Neil Young
(2) Neil Young's voice completely destroys me (in a good way)
(3) I loved the songs NY wrote when he realized he might not live forever (especially the one about falling off the face of the earth- I played repeatedly during treatment)
(4) He wrote "Ohio" for those of us that were there
