All-Time #1 Greatest Album
It was 40 years ago the other day.....

Today's Grauniad Guide had an article about a forthcoming Radio 2 attempt to get 13 modern bands to cover the whole of Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Heart's Club Band: it wasn't complementary.

My favourite quote: "In what ridiculous universe can Razorlight possibly hope to bring anything to this project"

It went on to point out that the original album itself should no longer be held in such high esteem as it hasn't aged that well.

For years it used to top the 'best album of all time' type charts/books/TV programmes, and only in the last few years have people woken up to the fact that Revolver, and lately Rubber Soul too, are actually better albums.

Personally, The Beatles would have a job getting any albums into my own top 10. Although I have most of their albums, they're rarely played and I was always more of a Stones guy anyway.

So; if you could only take one album to your desert island, what would it be?

Any genre, any period: if Erich Kleiber's 1955 Il Nozze di Figaro or Louis Armstrong's Hot Fives & Sevens float your boat (they float mine), fill yer boots.

I'll get the ball rolling with my All-Time #1 Greatest Album of all time, ever, bar none:

Highway 61 Revisted by Bob Dylan

without any doubt the all time greatest album is "Pet Sounds" by the beach Boys. As already mentioned Sgt Peppers has not aged well, however Pet Sounds sounds just as great now as it did when released back in '66. Over the years I have bought the album on lp, cassette, cd and dvd. Also bootleg outtakes and finally a whole boxset based on one album. Paul maCartney knows a tad about music and has often stated that everybody should own this album and has bought a copy for each of his children. high praise indeed

My personal best album ever is Runrig's Searchlight album. Haunting in places, rocky in others, Gaelic in others. An all round brilliant album.

Nirvana - Unplugged in New York.

A singer at the very top of his game, a tragic epitaph. If I could only listen to one album for the rest of my life, that would be it.
