Its National Album Day according to the BBC, who knew! Soooo whats your favourite album (one only) and can you still listen to it without expecting to hear that scratch on track 3 (even if you are streaming it!)

Some of my favourite pieces of music are pieces that I didn't really appreciate until I'd litened to an album a hundred times

Booooo to the cherry pickers and playlisters

Have you forgotten something? 

I was hoping you wouldn't notice, only an idiot could have only one favourite album I am constantly compiling my Desert Island Discs (all albums) and they change every week !

But dont let me stop you .....

This is like National Book Week, there seems to be about 8 of them every year!

This makes your OP a troll. 

I wouldn't say 'troll' just a small omission !

This week it's been Megadeth - Rust In Peace. 1990 album that I loved when it came out. The first album with Marty Friedman on guitar. Some great songs (Hangar 18, Holy Wars, Rust in Peace) and one of my favourite metal guitar solos on Tornado of Souls. So much so, I have been watching punters on Youtube trying to play it and this was the best one I found

This week, for me, its been Tiffany, by Tiffany

Like you say, hard to pick one, but right now Good Kid, Maad City by Kendrick Lamar is right up there for me.

Notable mention for Bizarre Ride II the Pharcyde as I've loved that album for over 20 years now and never go off it.

In Utero by Nirvana is always up there...

I'd best stop now, I've already gone 2 over the requested amount.

This question is never about the best music, it's about where you were at the time, the social context, your age, your emotions and the connections you make with your past whilst listening.

For me it's OK Computer, an album that literally saved my life.

An eclectic mix from me.

McAlmont and Butler - The sound of.

Bruce Springsteen - Born to run

Dexys -  One day I'm going to soar

Van Morrison - Veerdon Fleece

Leonard Cohen -  I'm your man.

Edit: If I had to pick one it would be McAlmont and Butler which my ex wife introduced me to in the mid to late 90s. It never fades with time and it brings back some very fond memories of that period of my life.

Prob with Megadeth is that there's too much to choose from. I'm working at home at the moment while listening to Peace Sells but Whos Buying. Before that, it was the first album Killing is my Business which is my personal favourite.

Given how good Dystopia was, I've got high hopes for the new album when it comes out. Kiko seems to have brought some Marty Friedman back to the band, and Dirk Verburen is outstanding on drums. Going to see them in London in January!

I couldn't have a favourite for all occasions. My most played are probably

Joy as an act of resistance by Idles

Welcome to sky Valley by Kyuss

10,000 Days by Tool

King of cowards by Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs

Masters of reality by Black Sabbath

Springsteen, Van Morrison and Leonard Cohen albums are belters. As said elsewhere, favourite album changes from time to time and often depends on circumstances etc. My favourite new album this year is "Stay Positive" by The Hold Steady which was going for 50p in a charity shop. [In an uncharacteristic piece of generosity I paid £1.]

I love that Kyuss album.

Right now it's Rammstein's untitled album, and no I don't speak German...

This week it is 'Since I left you' by the Avalanches.

Like Clockwork, Queens of the Stoneage.  Or possibly LA Woman. Or that Fontaine’s DC album.  Or The Planets by Holst.  Or Goo or Daydream Nation by Sonic Youth.  Or or or .....

Worth checking this vid. Dave Ellefsons bar band playing The Conjouring and Peace Sells with Chris Poland guest guitar

Impossible to settle on one album but whenever I’m driving across the highlands, which is often, then only one album will do, the sound, the look, the sensation of Scottish rain:

Darklands by The Jesus and Mary Chain

Selling England by The Pound  - Genesis 

Transformer - Lou Reed

Thunder and Consolation by New Model Army is always up there but recently Lost in a Dream by War On Drugs, I am Easy to Find, by The National and Hozier’s Wasteland, Baby! are all doing it for me. 

All time favourite: Dylan: Blonde on Blonde

Current favourite: Fontaines DC: Dogrel

I have to add M83 - Hurry Up We're Dreaming to this list

Sublime
