Favorite lp of all time

To me, this subject should have special meaning to each one on a personal level or it's really of little revelence.
My choice is easy in this way, it was released in the 60's, a turbulent time but a time that out of which sprung a plethora of great inspiration and yes, thankfully great music.

Simon @ Garfunkle "Bookends". Such a wonderful lp and even to this day sounds great! I'm listening to the stereo Columbia 360 Sound version. Mine happens to be a nice sounding early copy. This lp to me, defined a generation that others can still relate to right now. How can it get any better?

I have way too many classical favorites on LP to be able to single out just one. But I'll give it a shot anyway: Beethoven Sonatas Opus 53 ("Waldstein"), 78, and 90, Paul Badura-Skoda performing on an 1815 Hammerflügel, Astrée AS73.

Long since out of print on LP, unfortunately. I don't know if it is available on CD. As with most Astrée LPs the sound is incredible.

So many wonderful choices but for sheer variety, the "White Album". Honorable mentions go to to "Exile", "Blood on the Tracks", "Pet Sounds", "Tommy", Zep's "III" and the beat goes on.

"Bookends" is a favorite, but Cat Stevens' "Teaser and the Firecat" always makes me feel young again (Tea for the Tillerman is a close second).
