  UGO.com Music - The Top 11 Albums of 2004 - 2004: The Year in Music
With expectations running high and emotion ranging from silly to serious to suicidal, Smith's final album would deliver something for everyone-positive and melodic acoustic numbers such as "Memory Lane" for the mainstream fans, and pitch fl tunes like the achingly sad "Twilight" for the depressed masses.
Even though he would die of an apparent suicide in late 2003, the album is surprisingly hopeful, reminding us all that this man, with all his pain, could ultimately find solace in writing beautiful music.
This album blew up in the pop culture conscience thanks to the anthemic and surprisingly (for this band, anyway) upbeat "Float On," which somehow found its way onto MTV and onto the charts.

 The Best Of 1999
A combination of the best elements of Black Sabbath and Oasis, while not stealing from either.
I may get some hate for this decision, but the truth is a white guy made the best hip-hop album of the year.
A reminder that "dance" music and "folk" music were once the same thing, and perhaps a look ahead into what the next 100 years of music might have in store for us.

 urban75 music - Your best album - ever!
I stumbled across the excellent smoking themes of this album by chance in a strangers car as I was transported from a rave to a house in a self induced fragile mental state by some new mates I had meet during the night of a Freedom party in east London.
Part of the immediate charm of this album for me is that when I first heard it, the sound was far more distant than intended, as I had only got a copy of it from a friend on an old cassette tape (this was 1989) and it was a poor recording indeed.
The album has been with me ever since, getting me interested in politics, history, styles of music i'd never been open to before, its been the soundtrack to my life ever since, but to that year in particular, it was never off my record player during 1985.

 Best album?
I'm sure this change was not Frost's idea as when this album was released (2002) he vented much of his unused speed in KOK/1349.
For me the best one is DMT, of cours, then Shadowthrone, Nemesis, Volcano and Rebel extravaganza, with a special mention to the EP Intermezzo II.
Great album As far as Volcano goes - I was very hesitant purchasing it at 1st because of the bad reviews I read, but I decided to give it a spin for myself a few months after its release and was impressed.

 guster discussion board - "Best Album Poll"
The best way I can explain why Parachute is considered the worst of their albums, is that it didn't really capture the essence of their actual sound the way later albums did.
On that album you really feel those drums and get as close to feeling their "genuine" sound as you're going to short of a live show.
Im pretty sure that the general consensus is that LAGF is their best album.

Another three songs from that particularly vivid debut album follow, in the form of "Leaving Las Vegas," "Strong Enough," and "I Shall Believe." The first two were big hits, while the latter is more of a crowd-pleaser that always gets fans going at her live shows.
The first song from that second album is "Everyday Is A Winding Road," which was one of the most heavily-spinned songs of that awesome decade, while "If It Makes You Happy" is one of the greatest and heaviest rock anthems I've ever heard.
We get two songs from Sheryl's latest studio album "C'mon, C'mon," which is a bit of a blessing in disguise as that wasn't her best album.

 R.E.M. Fan Forums - The absolute best REM album review I've ever read...
But the whole album is saved from concept hell by the scratchfunk of "Can't Get There From Here," where Mills' ridiculous falsetto and some out-of-nowhere New Orleans horns bring it all back down to earth.
Sure, there were some elements of the old stuff that popped up every now and then...but for the most part, these were albums made by a band that seemed to want to move away from a sound they used to have.
I guess it's mature enough...but there's more experimentation on these albums and the music sounds nothing at all like what they did in the early days...although, I'll have to admit that there are some gothic elements that peak through every now and then on both of the recent albums.

The best part is that it retained all the best elements that often make fan sites better than official sites, such as message boards, rumors, magazine scans, sound files, and fan art.
They might have been at the forefront of mainstream techno in the Eighties, but with albums coming out far less regularly these days, few may have thought that Depeche Mode's web presence would be so well maintained.
The band should take Elliott Smith's lead and just hand over the official reins to their best fan site, in this case, ateaseweb.com.

But like the Beasties' album, this cover tells you everything you need to know about her new music: It's raw, imperfect and takes a minute to process.

 Yesfans.com: Founded 4/01 - Best Yes Album
Because it is the album on which YES found their sound.
I agree with charl8e in that Yes found their sound on CTTE, but to me The Album is where Yes got their foothold and did an album that was all of their own material.
These (2) masterpieces are the book-ends by which all other YES albums fit within (in my humble opinion anyway) and I guess it comes down to the classical influences of Rick Wakeman or the jazzified Patrick Moraz influence that dictates preference ; as both contain flawless, brilliant material.

 Music- Best Album Releases by Aidan Halligan - Thread
The latest album by Norwegian jazz singer Silje Nergaard has been in the high rotation pile by my stereo since the day it was released.
The third album by Nebraskan singer-songwriter is such a finely crafted collection of roots-based pop songs that, for once, comparisons to the likes of Ron Sexsmith (the first, good, album) Joe Henry and Elvis Costello are warranted.
Apparently a 'break-up' album, the songs on 'Sea Change' are permeated with a melancholic sweetness as Beck reflects upon love and loss.

This 15-song '80s best-of assortment (stick around for the hidden track) spans the decade, reaching back to 1980's "I Will Follow," when Bono and company were peach-fuzzy and earnest as choirboys, and tracking their path through their most glaring misstep, 1988's overblown Rattle and Hum.
To round off this fabulous album, U2 included the romantic songs of 'Desire' and 'When Love Comes To Town' which are 2 great songs on their own.
This album is part one to the 'Best Of' collection.

And it might be interesting to see how they measure up to the 100 Best Album Covers.
The endless "XX Best XXXXX" lists that Rolling Stone, VH1, MTV, ad nauseum trot out every year are nothing more than a cheap cash-in on nostalgia combined with some sleazy commercials for the record companies.
Some of these were obviously chosen because they happened to be on an influential album, not because they are great art.

Other books have already praised the music inside the sleeves of these musical masterpiences, but "DK 100 Best Album Covers" focuses exclusively on 100 of the most striking and lasting images in popular music.
