Was thinking about including a Queen album also. Probably a much earlier one though.
Queen II would be my next of choice, but one may be shocked to hear I'm very fond of Innuendo. Whats The Story would be next on mine.

Michael Jackson- Dangerous
Prince- Purple Rain
Janet Jackson- Rhythm Nation

I've never heard this album-and I love Frankie's voice. I'm going to pull it up and listen now. Thanks!

Good choice and I think Innuendo is great too. The album not the person ;)

So poignant and TATDOOL always makes me cry, especially the video.

Missed off Muse's Black Holes and Revelations off my list as well! A band massively inspired by early Queen.

Muse were my favourite current band until last year. Theyve just lost me. Origin/Absolution/Black Holes are phenomenal albums. The Drones tour I saw was so different to when I first saw them in 04. Theyve lost all the magic.

I think they still do good stuff, but the formula is becomg a little tired now. Having said that, when I see them live they blow me away (I say live, it's only DVDs I've seen, never managed to get to a live show yet). But yes, those first 4 albums - amazing.

I think ive seen them 7 times now, and theyre stil brilliant live, theyve just gotten more diluted. Too much messing with props and videos and lights and less instrument playing with more backing tracking. Id like to see them go back to weird songs and go away from the drones and political stuff. It isn't their forte.

I don't know why I'm shocked HIStory is your favourite album...

Also, nice choice of favourite Beatles album. This is such a brilliantly bonkers album, with some of their best best songs.
 
I think the Invincible association is what took me there!

The White Album is their Victory album, namely mostly solo material worked as a band. If only it was anywhere near as good as the Jacksons attempt.
 
Body isn't the worst song I've ever heard, but also not good enough for me to have gotten around to listening to the 12" mix yet
 
MJ - Bad
Lady Gaga - The Fame Monster
Madonna - American Life
Regina Spektor - Soviet Kitsch
Robbie Williams - The Heavy Entertainment Show
Lisa Marie Presley - Storm & Grace
Janet Jackson - The Velvet Rope
Kate Bush - Aerial
Queen - A Night At The Opera
Take That - Progress
Absolutely love the Fame Monster. Dance in the Dark, Monster, Bad Romance are her best songs I think.
 
I think The Fame Monster was better than The Fame. I absolutely love Speechless, Bad Romance, Dance In The Dark... the whole album to be honest.

And Telephone is one of the best music videos since the 90s!!
I forgot about Speechless. I used to sing that a lot when I held an Open Mic Night at a bar I worked at. I used swap "Johnnie Walker eyes" with "Captain Morgan eyes" as that was our tipple at the time!

Woah....you put Chinese Democracy above Appetite or Use Your Illusion??

And you call me crazy for putting Hard Candy above Ray Of Light?!?!

How did you get a woman to marry you?
 
I love Chinese Democracy.



I think I know deep down that it's not as good as AFD, but in terms of which album I enjoy listening to more, it's definitely CD. There's some great tracks on that album and I like how much care Axl took over its creation. Plus there's a lot of great guitar wanking, which I'm always a sucker for. I am on first name terms with Ron Bumblefoot Thal who was the guitarist in GNR from 2006

Ron Bumblefoot Thal - isn't he in Harry Potter?
 
^^^ No, that's Ron Weasley. Ron Bumblefoot Thal is probably the most technically gifted guitarist on the planet. No word of a lie. The man is incredible. He has an eidetic memory for music and can literally play anything on the spot. I fangirl for him quite bad I'm afraid as a wannabe guitar rock God.

So, better than Slash?

Or John Frusciante???

You dark horse you.

There's actually no wrong answer when it comes to a favourite Beatles album.
 
That band broke my heart. Such a good album and everything since then has been MEH....

Andy, You're A Star will always be one of my songs.

Sam's Town was really good too. But a grower and less obvious than HF.

Check out Uncle Jonny!
