Great memories? soul support? mind blowing?

Which one do you go back to time and again that makes it a favorite?
What pops into your head first?

Mine...CCR's first album in '68...awesome tunes, at the age of 12...
maybe because it was one of my firsts too but
I'm still loving it today and their greatest hits
here's one of the best on it
'I Put a Spell On You'

    There are just way too many great albums out there, I don't know where I'd begin.

    I'd like to mention that I think Jeff Buckley's "Grace' is a timeless album and will still be as magnificent as it is now in 100 years.

    It's a record full of emotion, talent, and beauty.

    There are a lot of great albums out there, but these are the two that I have consistently gone back to in good times and bad. Almost like old friends that are always there for you.

    you know ive been listening to springsteen longer than anyone aside from the band and neil young and though these days i dont listen to him as much as i should, everytime i play born to run its like coming home. in fact anytime i play springsteen its like that. and i forget that until i do play him. so its like rediscovering him
    every time and i like that.
