What is that one CD you have, that is not metal, that is one of your most favorites?
One that you believe belongs in everyone's collection.

For me it is Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here
I love how the entire album sounds and feels, David Gilmours playing is full of emotion.
The song Wish You Were Here touches me every time I hear it, takes me back to when my father passed away...
Dark Side Of The Moon may be more popular, but for my ears, this is one of the greatest albums ever.

What is yours?

Death Cab For Cutie: Transatlantacism

These things change, but right now my list would look something like this (in no order):
Tori Amos - Boys For Pele/Under The Pink
Portishead - Dummmy
Regina Spektor - Soviet Kitsch
Kate Bush - The Dreaming
Low - I Could Live In Hope
The Gathering - Souvenirs
Leonard Cohen - Songs of Love and Hate
Akira Yamaoka - Silent Hill 2 OST

There's a handful of other ablums that might make the cut, but not quite: Simon & Garfunkel - Bookends (hard to pick a favorite from them, though), Tom Waits - Bone Machine/Rain Dogs/Mule Variations, Paul Simon - Graceland, Fever Ray - Fever Ray, PJ Harvey - Let England Shake/Stories From The City..., The Cure - Disintegration, Cocteau Twins - Victorialand, Red House Painters - Down Colorful Hill, Earth - The Bees Made Honey... I could go on and on, too many albums I couldn't give up.

Pink Floyd- The Wall gets my vote, followed closely by WYWH. It's got universal themes, but personal meaning for me too.

Haha cool, glad to help.
I think they released just one more after their s/t. Haven't really checked that one out. Let me know if it's as good as their s/t

My favorite non metal album must be Aerosmith's "Pump". It's their best work and it was the album that got me started into rock and then metal. I actually got to hear them play alot of it live in Toronto a 5 years back, though I was more than a little stoned at the time so I don't remember all of it That was the day I decided never to get stoned again too, I thought Steven Tyler was on fire

Very nice pick, definetely one of the best darkwave bands/albums out there.

I prefer Antimatter's next album, Lights Out. Saviour is pretty good too, though.

I have a couple of more recent albums.

Florence and the machine - Ceremonies. Anyone paying attention to pop recently has probably heard this band, but damn they are great. Florence has an amazing voice, the music is so lush and the lyrics are brilliant. The songs are so layered and atmospheric, they just make you want to give it another listen... and another.... and another...

the Dear Hunter - Colors. A break from their acts, this series of EPs is freaking amazing. Each is a different style of music reflecting a color and all are very well done, though some are pure mindblowing. I highly recommend Blue, Indigo, Red and White (those are my favs). It really show's Casey's talent with song writing.

Recently I've been tripping on these

Heymoonshaker - Beatbox Blues, its basically a dude on guitar and vocals and a guy beatboxing. Great vocals and some really groovy catchy tunes.
Miloopa - Polish live electro outfit. They have a bit of downtempo, dubstep and a nice electro vibe going for them.
Bubble Chamber - Another Polish live dubstep/electro band. Some really cool dark dubstep with some dnb thrown in

Yes! Echoes is great!
Echoes and One Of These Days I would say both songs are metal for their time.

I meant favorite recording of the 9th. Because, obviously, no two performances are alike and most of the stuff available on cheap "simply the best classical" series and such tend to be garbage. Actually, we don't even know what the compositions originally sounded like or were supposed to sound like, so there's always a lot of creative interpretation going into performance and recording. I don't know much about Beethoven, so I was curious to hear what the best interpretations sound like.

Like for Erik Satie, Aldo Ciccolini is the canonically accepted master but I much prefer Reinbert de Leeuw. If you want Bach, Glenn Gould with The Goldberg Variations is the place to start, etc.

Kate Bush - The Dreaming


I just got this album the other day. A simply stunning piece from the very first listen. Although, I think I like Hounds of Love better. But then again, I don't know what good for me. I don't know what's good for meeee.

Also, some of my favorite works with reference songs. :3

Hot Rats - Frank Zappa
