I'm off on holiday tomorrow and will have basically no internet for over a week. So naturally I'm downloading all the media I can think of, just in case of downtime.

Thought it might be fun to solicit some musical suggestions from you lot to help expand my mind. So here we are. What's your ultimate all-time #1 album?

My tastes are pretty eclectic* so feel free to suggest basically anything, and maybe I'll update after holiday and judge what I thought of them all. Or maybe not, you know, that sounds like potentially quite a lot of effort.

Cheers in advance!

* mostly on the alternative / rock side of things but also love various kinds of dance sub-genre on occasion and of course the genre-that-isn't-a-genre-at-all, Eurovision

One album forever? Tough one.

This might change after some thought, but the first one that popped into my head was Leftism by Leftfield.

However, my favourite band are R.E.M., so I might feel tempted to take one of theirs instead!

I think Leftism could still pass for a new release. It, Massive Attack's Mezzanine, and GusGus' Polydistortion would be my top contenders, cuz that shit has not gotten old yet, for me.

Out of Time by REM would be alright, too! If I can skip "Shiny Happy People," ugh.

I'll need to check out GusGus then because I also love Mezzanine (although I prefer Blue Lines).

For Athens' finest, I'd probably go for Lifes Rich Pageant. Or maybe Reckoning.
