My ALL Time Favorite is Santana Abraxas. Santana is a genius. Every note of Santana's guitar Album is fantastic!
Follow Ups:
It took ne 20 years to recover from radio burn-out on the Supertramp album, but I really like it alot again.
Scott T.
local Malay artist, Zalnal Abidin with his legendary 'Zainal Abidin' aka 'Hijau' album.

My latest version is on Analogue Productions LP. It is a Vanguard recording and is coupled with Gottschalk's A Night In the Tropics and Grand Tarentelle for Piano and Orchestra.
Second choice would be PROKOFIEV: Scythian Suite on Mercury Living Presence / Classic Records
Third would be RUSSO: Three Pieces for Blues Band and Symphony Orchestra on DGG. Sound quality not up to the other two standards but the music is killer.
All three of these have been favorites since the mid-1970's.

Asking about favorite music LP is just senseless. Too many. :-)

I don't believe there's anything such as an all time best anything, just a group of the best that you argue over forever, but the album I play the most and enjoy a hell of a lot is the very first Pentangle album which just for trivia's sake happened to be the first non-classical album reviewed in Stereophile after many years of only classical reviews.
rock- exile, big star's third, and marquee moon would be in the top ten.
I'm coming right over. I'll bring one of Van Morrison's WB albums--if I can narrow it down to one...
Was home from school the first time I heard Marquee Moon, late at night, on WHFS. "Wow, what is this?" I was sold in 9:58. Still am.
Do you have the live "Arrow" LP?
i do live in dc, you and other inmates would be welcome any time.
I don't have a listening room, just a room!
A generous offer, and thanks.
I'm off Dale Drive. I see you got the Galibier. Cool. Still wish I'd bought that Thorens you were selling. Will always be curious. If you ever want a listen to my Teres/Moerch/Denon, let me know.
I also have a room, not a listening room. Records for room treatment. One chair. Sometimes, a stool. You understand.
Thanks again.
my all time favorite would have to be The Clash London Calling. Not a bad cut on two albums. Great sound too!!!

Later Gator,
Crank up your talking machine, grab a jar of your favorite "kick-back", sit down, relax, and let the good times roll.
It would probably be Van's Astral Weeks, but there are probably a dozen others I would have to consider too, including Live Dead, In a Silent Way, Davis Ackles' American Gothic, some version of Dvorak's New World, ...
In rock, Rubber Soul/Revolver/Sgt Pepper/MMT/Abbey Road would be close contenders. Strange as it may sound, I like them so much that I play them rarely, hoping never to overexpose myself to them. Also close are Saucerful of Secrets, The Grateful Dead (1st album), Surrealistic Pillow, Aftermath, and a hundred others.
For jazz, Time Out, Kind of Blue, Music from Peter Gunn, Velvet Touch of Lenny Breau Live, Midnight Special or Organ Grinder's Swing (Jimmy Smith), Herbie Mann Live at the Village Gate, Idle Moments (Grant Green), Shakti with John McLaughlin all come to mind immediately.
Then there's Indian music (Ravi and many others), African, Celtic, Folk, Blues and so on. Got to leave this perplexing question alone and get back to work.
Maybe we could have a top 100 in each genre topic?
'table. The question is asked in different ways rather often, but it's always a fun one to answer. I'd bet if we did a search no one would list the same one twice.
I tried to make a top 100 list one time and I couldn't even do that! But the Jazz Violin Session is my choice...this time.

cause i grew up watching them, plus it really is a classic lp.
Otherwise known as "The White Album".

It was New Years Eve, 1974/75 and I was watching Dick Clarks "Rockin' New Years Eve" with Chicago and The Doobie Brothers.
The first chance I had I went out and bought every album the Doobies had put out and "Once Were Once Vices Are Now Habits" has been my favorite album ever since.
Dean.
One of my favorite bands too. I saw the Doobies in '75, then '82 at the Greek Theater UC-B, and later in '99. Now I have a couple more years to catch them this decade and keep my streak going!
BTW, when I saw them in spring of '75, their stage set-up was exactly like the album cover on "What Were Once Vices Are Now Habits".
I just "discovered" their first lp from 1971. I had never heard it before. It was in a bunch of lp's that needed to be cleaned. I really enjoyed it. They were a four member band and leaned much more to the acoustic side than on their later albums... a nice find!
...great record! But, not their first.Their first album, "Introducing The Doobie Brothers", was released on Pickwick records and pulled shortly afterward due to a contract dispute. Unbelievably, I found one ...my prized Doobie possession. I've never seen another.
Dean.
Wow! I didn't know about that one! Thanks!
won't even try narrow it down. Score albums from 1 to 5 but still to many greats!.
Now on arms and cartridges the list will be shorter, less to choose from.
Nice one.
TB
Really not my alltime favorite, I just like to make reference to it once in a while and see if anyone notices. You're the first. Really though, it's a fun record. Great booklet too.
Yes Fragile, followed closely by Led Zeppelin Physical Graffiti
The Heartbreakers, not Tom Petty's boys though.
Best rock n roll record ever.

Everything's nice when you're covered in ice...
nice choice.
gilded palace of sin - no, blue - no, revolver - no, rock of ages - no, yankee hotel foxtrot - no, after the gold rush - no, hunky dory - no, blood on the tracks
whose dumb idea was this, no one can possibly pick one album unless they've only heard one!
wait, i got it - whatever's for us - no, tupelo honey
dammit, now i can't sleep
"When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro." -HST
but, maybe 50? Just too many too choose from and my tastes do vary a bit from year to year.
I DO have a favorite Santana album though - Caravanserai. Worn out some three copies over the past 34 years, now have four different copies (orig. U.S., orig. Japanese, Quad and orig. UK) now AND the CD, the recently remastered version of which is wonderful.
So much great music, so little time to listen to it...

The Chicago Transit Authority (i.e., the black double album). Their first album is by far their best and an excellent poster-boy for the blues-rock genre.
Chuck Mangione, Friends and Love. It was his first live concert album with the Rochester Philharmonic. Chuck made the orchestra swing madly, and while I don't care particularly for the long guitar solo piece on side 2, that's easily avoided. It was one of the first albums I ever bought, and I play it regularly to this day.
