You can have your ‘Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band’, your ‘Blond on Blond,’ your ‘Exile on Main Street,’ for me the best album of all time is … ‘English Settlement’ by XTC! With an honorable mention for ‘The Piper at the Gates of Dawn’ by Pink Floyd.

What’s yours?

When I rated the top 10 LP’s that I would want to be able to play on a desert Island (Steely Dan received 50% from my ears.):

Steely Dan Aja
Steely Dan The Royal Scam
Steely Dan Pretzel Logic
Steely Dan Countdown to Ecstasy
Steely Dan Can’t Buy a Thrill
Bruce Springsteen - Darkness on the Edge of Town
Bruce Springsteen - Born to Run
Pink Floyd- The Dark Side of the Moon
Led Zeppelin - Houses of the Holy
Focus - at the Rainbow

If not Piper at Gates (excellent choice), then Oasis “What’s The Story, Morning Glory?” Classic Brit-pop.
 
Time Out - The Dave Brubeck Quartet

a close second…

Kind of Blue - Miles Davis

I also admire “Time Out”. That one piece in (what was it?) 7/4 time is especially great.

However “Some Blue-Eyed Soul” by the Righteous Brothers is hard to beat. Well anything by the Righteous Brothers.
 
Tough question.

I’d have to name three Albums:

By The Way - Red Hot Chili Peppers

Blurryface - Twenty One Pilots

X&Y - Coldplay
 
Leonard Cohen - Old Ideas
Hole - Live Through This
Fleetwood Mac - Tusk
 
It is! The pronunciation is n the title. It’s commonly just referred to as “pronounced”.
Oh wow. That’s unexpected. That reminds me of how Led Zeppelin changed the spelling of Led from ‘lead’ (as in the metal) because they didn’t want American record-buyers to go around pronouncing their name as ‘leed’ zeppelin. Not sure why they were concerned about us in particular, but there you have it.

I never get tired of listening to ‘Kind of Blue’ - it’s kind of strange! It has a mysterious sound that never fails to draw me in.

You mean ‘Take Five’?
