If someone asked you to pick 5 though I'd need weeks but my first 3 would probably be in there. |

I would never have had you down as a fan of The Fall. The piccie is more to do with me similarly having a face like an unmade bed so used Mr Smith for Facebook etc. as I hate photos of myself. I then chose the same for Eurogamer. Then, when moving from Eurogamer, I thought I should keep the theme as I had changed my user name. |

5 is too hard, so I’m going with 10
Deep purple - in rock
Rolling Stones - sticky fingers
Eagles - greatest hits
Queen - news of the world
Primal scream - screamadelica
Pond - beards, wives and denim
Black crowes - southern harmony and musical companion
Led zep - III
Funkadelic - maggot brain
Neil young - harvest
Honourable artist mentions that I love but individual albums don’t get into top 10:
Prince
Bowie
Fleetwood Mac
Joe Walsh
Aretha franklin
CSN & Y
BRMC
Flying burrito brothers

Fucking hell. Just 5, please. I restrained myself, you can too
Screamadelica is overrated

Much like the whole favourite film thing though, it depends on your mood. And where you're at in life. But yeah, play the game... no-one is going to enforce it, so just take a punt.

Prince - Sign 'O' The Times This is specifically what I was thinking of when I mentioned favourite vs return to all the time. Any given day, I might say Sign 'O' The Times is my favourite Prince album, but you know, I might not always want to listen to Adore or The Cross. Parade could've easily been swapped for Purple Rain though. Both are flawless. |

I could never take the place of your man, the Cross and the title track - simply unbelievable. |

I think pretty much everything Prince did in the 80s was fantastic.
Dirty Mind to Lovesexy , every album was great.
Shame he could t keep it up afterwards, always amazing live though.

It's been AGES since I've watched the concert film. I'm going to need to find a way to watch it in the near future.

'Orbital - insides' - The original, not the rereleased version with the theme from the Saint on it... WTF was the point of that even?. It was pretty much the soundtrack to a road trip across America in my early teens and I still get goosebumps when 'out there somewhere' transitions into that lovely melody.
'Nirvana - MTV unplugged'
'Leftfield - Leftism'
'Daft Punk - Homework' - I just love the rawness of some of the tracks if you look past the singles (which I also love)
'Morcheeba - Charango' - I fairly randomly got given this while I was doing work experience at a radio station. Ended up having this on repeat play that summer and I still love coming back to it.
Could go on for ages and would need a much longer list for mixes...

I genuinely think Insides is a perfect album. There isn't a single thing I'd change about it. The re-release isn't too bad as the extra track is at the end so you can just ignore it, but yeah, it's utterly pointless |

Midlake - The Trials of Van OccupantherA brilliant folk rock album with Fleetwood Mac vibes. Never heard of this but just listened to a few tracks and it's brilliant. Thanks! |

The last thing I did on Facebook before I binned it was the ten albums a day thing and the list would look a bit different today, although the bulk would still be what I was into at 16. And I know decks was joking earlier but I did include one NOW album. I got it for Xmas when I was like 10 or 11 and it was like a gateway drug to everything I ever really got into www.nowmusic.com/albums/now-thats-what-i-call-music-17/ |

Antics is indeed the best Interpol album. I been listening to a fair bit of Interpol recently. I forgot they existed and something random came in the radio which sounded a lot like them (but wasn,t them) which made me go back and listen to them. Forgot how good they are. I I guess they’re at that age where they influenced newer bands. |

Queens of the Stone Age - Songs for the Deaf
Iggy Pop - The Idiot
Nirvana - In Utero
Deftones - Around the Fur
Turbonegro- Apocalypse Dudes
Really difficult to narrow down to just 5, Weezer and NIN just missing out.

Too many albums I really enjoy, but some albums which have never really diminished for me: Neurosis - The Eye of Every Storm Isis - Panopticon Twilight - Monument to Time End The Ocean - Precambrian Minsk - With Echoes in the Movement of Stone Most of the zeitgeistermusic.de-catalogue ...and so many more. I like the cut of your jib sir. |

Yeah, it's weird because I've tried listening to their other albums and I bounce off them. There aren't many bands I like where I only like one album, but it's true of one of my favourite ever albums. |

I can’t work out if the streaming services and their algorithms help me find new stuff or stop me finding new stuff. I have a playlist of about 80 songs that they’ve suggested over the years that I bothered to add to but there aren’t many of those that I’ve bothered to listen to the albums repeatedly like I used to.
Music review websites don’t help either. I discovered more when I used to go to a music shop and just buy some random new releases, half the time based on the artwork or title.

Only five albums is hard, and I'm assuming that going for live albums is cheating :-)
Sabbat - Dreamweaver
Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon
Carmina Burana - Karl Orf
War of the Worlds Jeff Wayne
Bolt Thrower - IVth Crusade

Of all time...
In Rainbows - Radiohead
The Suburbs - Arcade Fire
Sea Change - Beck
Comfort in Sound - Feeder
Sound of Silver - LCD Soundsystem
Those are the top 5 albums I know I love, but the longer I wait between listens, the more surprised I am about how much I love them.
