MusicManiac Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 What albums do you think are the most timeless, meaning they sound as if they could have been made in any decade? I guess every album full of songs that remind you of something or that you enjoy can be personally considered a timeless album. Post your thoughts...any genre...

Reverend Jax Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 Tommy by the Who. I think it's sounds totally fresh today. Paul's Boutique by the Beastie Boys sounds as frsh as any hip-hop album from the 80's possibly can. The Violent Femmes' self-titled album is coming up on it's diamond anniversey and sounds liek it could have been recorded yesterday. The Wall by Pink Floyd still sounds fresh to be too.

MusicManiac Posted October 5, 2005 Author Share Posted October 5, 2005 THE STRANGER Billy Joel Columbia Records, 1977 -Everyone knows the singles from this album like the back of their hand; the romantic bonbon "Just The Way You Are," the rocker "Only The Good Die Young" or Joel's anthem for Anthony, "Movin' Out." Those songs are classics, but they aren't even the best tracks on the album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NZA Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 aw, dont go leavin MJ off the list, or Nas...i know he's not radio-friendly, and Illmatic is sometimes called an EP for having only 10 tracks, but toss in the usual 3-4 bullshit skit tracks and itd be right there....no guest apparences, just raw hip-hop from the genre's finest lyricist. SOF is prolly gonna vote for Joshua Tree. The 80's kid in me wants to push a Police album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NZA Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 hah! no doubt. It aint hard to tell. For hip hop, most people also put up B.I.G.'s classic "Ready to Die" and a few others, but i could make a whole thread outta that. I'm gonna try to limit mine to "albums so good, people who dont necessarily dig this genre'd enjoy it." For techno, id vote Orbital's "2", im interested in what KOS & SOF'd say.

Reverend Jax Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 I'm gonna try to limit mine to "albums so good, people who dont necessarily dig this genre'd enjoy it." That's why I threw down Paul's Boutique. This is rediculous. Everyone knows Outlandos D'Amour is the best police album! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MusicManiac Posted October 6, 2005 Author Share Posted October 6, 2005 Great album Jax. for sure. But IC said 80's Police so that's why I left it off.

MusicManiac Posted December 7, 2005 Author Share Posted December 7, 2005 Facelift- Alice in Chains- ... WE DIE YOUNG, MAN IN THE BOX, SEA OF SORROW, BLEED THE FREAK, LOVE HATE LOVE, I CANT REMEMBER, IT AINT LIKE ... In many ways, Alice in Chains was the definitive heavy metal band of the early '90s. Drawing equally from the heavy riffing of post-Van Halen metal and the gloomy strains of post-punk, the band developed a bleak, nihilistic sound that balanced grinding hard rock with subtly textured acoustic numbers. They were hard enough for metal fans, yet their dark subject matter and punky attack placed them among the front ranks of the Seattle-based grunge bands.
