Queen come fourth...

In my list of favourite albums of all time...

I have loved Queen from the age of 10 when I spent all my money in the world on a Queen album and they are all I listened to from the age of 10 - 16, which is a very impressionable age for drawing inspiration from music, but there are albums from other bands/artists I would rather listen to first.

Anyone else here whose favourite album ever ISN'T a Queen album?

(I am going to get killed for this..)

Oh yes... Queen was all I listened to when I was about 12-13 years old, but I did manage to find other music just by looking at MTV.

I suppose there might be a Queen album in my top 10 list, but certainly not in the top!

My favourite album to listen to is God Shuffled His Feet by the Crash Test Dummies, I know it's a bit left field but always reminds me of a beautiful period in my life. That's kinda the point of music in a way I think

"My favourite album to listen to is God Shuffled His Feet by the Crash Test Dummies"

Fuck me.. I never expected that! You are the only person on the whole of the internets to EVER say that.

Kudos.

Such lists of mine change so frequently.

While I truly love records like A Night At The Opera and Made In Heaven, I'd have to say that there are Yes and Dream Theater records that turn my crank much more these days... as well as plenty of baroque and romantic compositions.

Could perhaps be due to over-listening to Queen when I was a teenager... ?

have to agree with the OP. although queen II is my favourite queen LP. it's not usually in my top ten.

my own top ten - and subject to mood change are:-

[b]beatles - abbey rd[/b], zep - zep 1, [b]purple - in rock[/b], black sabbath - heaven and hell, [b]rainbow - rising,[/b] floyd - WYWH, [b]zep - zepII[/b], jethro tull - aqualung, [b]bowie - hunky dory[/b] and purple - machine head

Pink Floyd's 'Wish You Were Here' is an amazing album. Led Zep's 'How the West Was Won' puts Livekillers to shame. There's more passion in Bowie's 'Hunky Dory' than in any of the Queen catalogue.

Queen II is my #1 album. Apparently, I'm the first one here who top album is Queen. That's interesting.

Other favorites, right now, are A Day at the Races and Innuendo by Queen, The White Album and Abbey Road by The Beatles, Dark Clouds and Silver Linings by Dream Theater, WIsh You Were Here, Animals, and The Division Bell by Pink Floyd, Master of Puppets and Death Magnetic by Metallica, and Boy and War by U2. This is just stuff listen to right now. I wouldn't even think about trying to sort this all out into a list, though.

My list.

1. Queen II - Queen
2. Vol. 4 - Black Sabbath
3. ANATO - Queen
4. Misplaced Childhood - Marillion
5. Dark side...Pink Floyd
6. Machine Head - Deep Purple
7. Sailing England... Genesis
8. ADATR - Queen
9. Abbey Road - Beatles
10. Sabottage - Black Sabbath

Dark Clouds and Silver Linings by Dream Theater[/QUOTE]

You mean Black Clouds !?

The Count of Tuscany is one of the greatest pieces of music I've ever heard. It has moved me more than any song I've heard in the last decade.

It's an ever changing list, but certain albums don't tend to stray too far from the top ten. I would have A Ghost Is Born by Wilco, Chutes Too Narrow and Wincing The Night Away by The Shins, The Reminder by Feist, Another Stony Evening by Crosby and Nash, Manassas (self titled), Neil Young Rust Never Sleeps, Youth and Young Manhood by the Kings of Leon, Music From Big Pink by The Band. There are just too many when I stop to think about it, different albums I've loved at different periods of my life

British steel by Judas Priest!

Durrr, you're right, The Real Wizard. Little brain fart on my part. Agreed on The Count of Tuscany, though. The Best of Times is also amazing.

[i]The Edges of Twilight[/i] by Canadian band The Tea Party.

Pure genius.

Tiny Music - Songs from the Vatican GIft Shop by Stone Temple Pilots comes very very close to beating News of the World as my favourite album... but not quite.
