Probably take some heat for this but Songs About Jane by Maroon 5 will forever be in my top 3.
Whatever People Say I am that's what I'm not by Arctic Monkeys and Led Zeppelin IV round out my top 3 for today. I'll probably change my mind again by tomorrow

Just one? Rolling Stones Exile On Main Street. *

The threads about Super Bowl and NFC halftime shows got me thinking. We have a lot of guys on the board tht are very interested in music it seems so I wanted to have a discussion. I started collecting LP's about a year ago and have come to discover a whole bunch of music that I had never heard before (obviously not surprising).

You have can pick one album that you consider the greatest of all time. What is it?

Petty. Wildflowers or Greatest Hits. End of discussion.

Not greatest of all time, but albums I put in and never skip a song:
any Beatles (Rubber Soul, if you make me pick)
Blood Sugar Sex Magik
Siamese Dream

any Blue Mountain (Dog Days, Tales of a Traveler)

Have to have some Zeppelin, Creedence, Hendrix

Bonus: check out Will The Circle Be Unbroken - Nitty Gritty Dirt Brand
