A few weeks ago, I posted "What Are You Reading Right Now?". Got a great cross-section of responses from Freepers. In another month or two, I'll repeat the question. But now, I have another question.

What is favorite CD, album or cassette of all time?

It can be country, blues, 80's-style rock, etc. Anything.

I'll start.

My two favorites are:

"World Falling Down" (1992) by Peter Cetera. Not as sappy as you might think. An album written at a down-time in his life.

"Rebel Yell" (1982) Billy Idol. A great collection of rock songs. Some of his best songs (on this CD) never made the Top 40.

OK, what's your favorite?

You left out 8-tracks?????

[Tijeras_Slim]

Does a version of "Holiday in Cambodia" to die for.

Webb Wilder's "It came from Nashville." Best album by the most under rated artist of all time. Rock on!

[MplsSteve]

Daamit, I'm sorry!

LOL

I accidentally left out 8-tracks. If you have a favorite 8-track, I'd like to hear about that too.

Favorite of all time, right? For me, it's a tie between "Theatre of Pain" by Mötley Crüe, and "Sign 'O' the Times" by Prince.

I agree with you on "Rebel Yell." Idol was cool then, and the guitar solo on "Eyes Without a Face" was fantastic.

I don't really have a specific favorite.

I like Ronnie Dio so Black Sabbath "Heaven and hell" is a favorite.

I like my "Speak of the Devil" CD by Ozzy.

I like all of my Megadeth CDs

I like most Metallica up to about the Reload CD.

Yeah I know, I'm hellbound.
