I seem to be on a roll

IYNSHO, what is your favorite album. The first thing you think of, and only one per customer. Duplicate orders will be mocked mercilessly.

Mine, it's easy. Quadrophenia. Townsend is one of the greatest songwriters of the rock era, and this is his masterpiece. The Who at their best outstrip pretty much everyone. It's powerful, brutal, touching, lovely. I think I'll listen to it right now.

Have to go with Roll the Bones by Rush. Again, it's one of those "every track is good" albums (assuming you like Rush, which I really, really do), it's a good "gateway" album to introduce people to the band, and for those already familiar with the style of the band, it showcases how Rush adapts its style to current musical trends without altering their core identity.
