    Great album and their best by far. The flow, the sampling, the beats; well done. It gets a little long at the end, but still has all my favorite tracks from them. It's held up well over time, which isn't typical for that music genre.
    It's a hopeless situation...

    gotta go with a live album - The Tragically Hip- Live between Us honorable mentions Zeppelin IV, PJ Vs, STP Purple, and The Black Crowes Southern Harmony and Musical Companion. Each one of these front to back are golden. Im sure im missing some.
    ooooh, LBU is a great one. 

    my favourite beginning to any live album....."thank you to the Rheostatics.....we are richer....for having seen them". can you imagine getting a shoutout on a live album by a band as huge as the Hip? Now THAT'S advertising!

    Achtung Baby
    No Code
    Bob Dylan, Blood on the Tracks
    Miles Davis, Kind of Blue
    JS Bach, Suites for Solo Cello (preferably on viola)
    Vienna Philharmonic wth Jessye Norman, Placido Domingo, etc.. Beethoven Symphony No. 9
    Vienna Philharmonic, Mahler Symphony No. 2
    And it's cheating, but two "best of" albums:
    The Best of the Staple Singers, and
    The Best of Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong -- because the Staple Singers are soothing and uplifting, and because Ela Fitzgerald had the voice of an angel.

    I think I could spend the rest of my life listening just to the above albums, and I could/ would be content.

    Loving the selections and range of music styles. Ella is one of my favorites. Beautiful voice. I'd be more inclined to do what you did and pick one for multiple genres.

    For almost 20 years now I have always thought "Beastie Boys - Hello Nasty" is amongst the greatest of all time.  It really shows off the trios musician ship which sometimes gets lost in hip-hop.

    Thanks! The Dylan and Miles Davis albums are top-to-bottom astounding, and the classical works, obviously, have withstood the test of time. Mahler 2 is the "Resurrection" symphony. and Beethoven 9 I assume everyone knows. Both are amazing creations, and both give me goosebumps and elicit tears.

    I also like to encourage people to look outside of their preferred genres. Classical music has had a big influence on some rock musicians (Muse!), as has jazz. I've had to do the same, myself. I wrote off the Beastie Boys for years as a lightweight, gimmicky act; much later, I took a listen and was amazed by how good they were.

    I love classical music. My absolute favorite is Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis. It's such a beautiful piece of music. Opera is another one that I find absolutely amazing to listen to. I have to be in the right mood for both, but they transport me when I listen to them. So much deeper meaning there that you can hear.

    I grew up on oldies because of my parents, branched out to country and then firmly set myself in the rock genre post 1992. I still listen to everything, but my rotation of music tends to lean towards rock, with new country being my least favorite.
