what is your favorite record of all time?

My favorite record of all time? Well I would say the Beatles Revolver. I have certain favorites for different styles of music. But that album just has it together and it is a clear choice for being my favorite. It has early Beatles sound. It has psychedelic Beatles sound. It has the pop George Martin production sound. The cover is a trip. I can't think of a better to explain why revolver is my hands down favorite. Just listen to it again.

My two favorite records are 78s from the late 40s , Ernest Tubbs "Heading Down the Wrong Highway" with J. Byrd on steel and Hank Williams "I'm so lonesome I could cry " also with Jerry Byrds old Rick steel and Volu-Tone amp !! Jerrys sound and tone back then was just sooo good !! Nothing today comes close , IMHO !! Eddie "C" AKA the olde geezer

Ella Fitzgerald, the Songbook recordings.
Johnny Smith, the Roost sessions.
Django Reinhardt, anything.

Uh, b0b, you just figured this out?

This is a tough one to answer...

Most albums are a mix of gems and junk

With the criteria that I find the whole album pleasing to the ear my preference would go to Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon".

Then again, it could be because I've had one he!! of a lot of fun with that music playing in the background...

Neil Diamond's Hot August Night...and it even has a little bit of steel on it.

Sorry Darcie, but that's over the line. I don't care how many steels you've bought me in the past but I can't be associated with an out-of-the-closet Neil Diamond fan. Some things are better kept to yourself!

'Pet Sounds' and 'Nightfly'. Especially the latter - I can never hear enough of it.

Another one of my favorite records is "New Favorite" by Alison Krauss & Union Station. Jerry Douglas played great dobro on that record, and Alison's voice on the slow songs is amazing! The live cd and DVD by Alison and Union Station is awesome too!

So many choices

Well... If I had to pick one, I could probably distill down to one of these:

Tuva: Voices From The Center of Asia. Here's track 1:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WUZH3EDzSF4

or

Moondog, by Moondog (aka) "The Viking of 6th Avenue" (aka) Louis Hardin
Here's the complete album:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aK0yv9ME-h8

or

Jeux vocaux des Inuit (Inuit du Caribou, Netsilik et Igloolik) http://www.amazon.com/Vocal-Games-Inuit ... cording%5D.
This is an album of field recordings made of inuit throat singing. BTW; Inuit throat singing, or Katajjaq is strictly a women's art in the Inuit culture and is way different from the, primarily masculine, Tuvan throat singing. Katajjaq, historically, is a form of entertainment for Inuit women. Occasionally, it is done in competition between two women to see who can outlast the other.

Heres an example (not from the album):

or

Jukebox Charlie, by Johnny Paycheck
Here's the title cut:

Keep on pickin'!

Live at the Village Vangard ('63') - John Coltrane

One of the BEST country songs ever written, as far as the man-woman thing, is I'm Gonna Hire Me a Wino.
