What's your current favorite album?

Mine is Sci-Fi Lullabies by the band Suede. It's a collection of B-sides which were contained on their singles:

The album received praise from most critics on release. Stephen Thomas Erlewine of Allmusic, who awarded the album four-and-a-half stars out of five, noted that the first disc "...is as strong as any of their albums" and that the majority of the songs are "all strong enough to be A-sides." Overall he said, "...this is absolutely essential material, confirming the group's status as one of the '90s' greatest bands." Mark Beaumont of NME said that "CD1 stakes a formidable claim as the fourth Suede album in its own right. Better than OK Computer." John Harris of Select gave the compilation 4 stars out of 5 and wrote: "Sci-Fi Lullabies exhaustively empties their under-the-stairs cupboard, and it's like a retelling of the entire Suede movie script." He concluded by saying that "this is truly as good as most Greatest Hits albums."

Tom Lanham of Entertainment Weekly gave the compilation an (A) rating, saying that Anderson is a "...tireless diarist, judging from this anthology of 27 U.K.-single B sides, each one?like the grim concert staple 'Killing of a Flash Boy'?as fey, somber, and solid as any album track." Keith Phipps of The A.V. Club gave the compilation a highly positive review, saying "...that Suede would not simply treat its B-sides as opportunities to unload half-baked and failed ideas. In fact, this collection has more consistency than many acts' studio albums, dispensing moody, catchy melodramatics while maintaining a remarkably high level of quality." Despite never placing on any of Billboard's charts, Sci-Fi Lullabies has sold about 19,000 units in the U.S. per Nielsen SoundScan figures.

The collection is widely regarded as Suede's best output and is often recommended along with their first two albums.[8] Scott Plagenhoef of Stylus Magazine said that "Suede set the track record of making each EP?s release an event, not tossing filler or failed experiments on the back of singles releases. Those early B-sides?collected on disc one of Sci-Fi Lullabies remain Suede?s strongest collection of songs." The album is considered to be one of the finest of the B-side/rarity genre, being described recently by The Independent as "the greatest B-sides album ever made". The A.V. Club included the compilation in its list of 35 essential B-side/rarity/outtakes collections. The article said that "...Suede?s pre-burnout legacy remains remarkably strong, and decidedly incomplete without such flipside classics as 'My Insatiable One' and 'The Living Dead'."

Here are some of my favorite songs from the album:




It's already becoming one of my favorite albums of the 90's. I can see why lots of people claim this band to be one of the greatest of the era. Too bad they never sold well, especially in the USA where this album sold a measly 19,000 copies.

If you like The Smiths and/or David Bowie, be sure to check out this album. If you like the album, check out Suede's first two albums.

We can use this thread to let people know what our favorite albums are at the moment. I recommend that you embed a few songs from the albums you post. This way you may prompt people to check out the bands/artists.

My favourite album is actually a collection of albums. It's The Beatles remastered boxset which I have in 24-bit FLAC format. I'm listening to it in stereo and with high-end Sony noise canceling headphones. The sound quality is amazing! Out of the entire boxset, my favourite album from it would currently be "Beatles For Sale".

Here's some songs:

Excellent not-so-well-known innovative electronic album from the late 70s. It was recorded entirely on a MCS70 synth; only one was ever built. This makes this album truly unique.

I think my favorite ALBUM would have to be "Fear" by Toad The Wet Sprocket....I can consistently listen to it over and over, where other albums I will like for a while, then won't listen to them for months...I listen to this one at least every week.

Blimey, I forgot that Suede had done a B-sides album - i'll check that out.

It may actually be Suede's best album. I normally don't check out B-side compilations, but this compilation has 4 1/2 stars on AllMusic and has received great critical reception. I figured I couldn't go wrong with it.

Disc 1 is better than the first, but disc two has some enjoyable tracks on it as well. Some people consider it as being one of the best B-sides compilations of all-time and some even say that it ranks with The Smiths' Louder Than Bombs which lots of people, including myself, consider as being a top-notch B-sides compilation. I actually likely consider Louder Than Bombs as being the best album by The Smiths which shows that B-sides compilations can actually be superior to regular albums.

PS. If you haven't heard Louder Than Bombs by The Smiths, I suggest that you check it out as well.

Aidan's is "God Bless The USA" by Lee Greenwood. :)

Nice variety, I must say.
I'd have to say it's usually Todd Rundgren's Something/ Anything album. But I really like The Zombies Odyssey and the Oracle and Gram Parson's Grievous Angel right now.
