The Greatest Album Ever?

[THE W]

as far as non-hiphop:

is it even possible to objectively say which album is the greatest ever?

were you that guy who had in his sig the bjork pic and underneath it "the cuban linx of the pop world" or somthing like dat? - i totally feel the same. bjork is great. rza even did a remix of hunter.

no, one can´t say which is the greatest album ever.

but possibly some beethoven shit. i mean the dude kept composing CLASSICS when he was already DEAF!!! and he made a song you can play backwards and it sounds the same as when you play it forward. too dope. mozart, bach, those were fucking geniuses that mostly died poor. they had to make the music to entertain kings and lords without a proper contact, street promo, mixtapes, videos with big booty bitches, bentleys and beamers, their own clothing line, website, a bentley farnswoth to shave their legs, a gangsta image, a fall off to fucking mainstream after the first commercial success....

ok, i´m exaggerating but these dudes must get some credit, too!

[Strange Fruit]

I've got every Bjork album and this remains my favourite. Every friend who asked me for a copy loved it too. It's just that good an album.

My favorite non-hip-hop album:

I say again BDP - Criminal Minded

Aenima by Tool is, at least at this very second what I think is the best album ever.
When you talk about Wu-Tang, they must have, between them 50 albums out there. So, on that, I gotta say that Wu is the greatest band ever, rock, hip-hop, whatever. I don't know about any other group anywhere that's put out as many albums as they have in such a short time period, and still goin strong. I don't think there's anyone else to even consider, maybe The Beatles, or The Rolling Stones, Or Led Zeppelin, but they don't put out new material 4 or 5 times a year anymore, and I don't think they ever have.
I never thought about it in those terms until a few weeks ago. Add in The Killa Bees and all the other Wu Related albums and you're way over 50 albums strong. Official Albums, not Best Of, or Greatest Hits.
Even James Brown might not work as hard. Think about it.

Ever heard of quality over quantity?

oh, and best group ever by the way, soundtrack to one of the greatest movies ever. can't front that one.

[FrenchShin]

oh, i forgot this one. best voice ever.

It's a fact that a lot of composers wrote pieces that play backwards and forwards. Mozart wrote a piece that's on the same piece of paper, it wasn't written backwards and forwards per se. The idea was that kid's practicing music could sit at a table facing each other and play a piece that looked forward to each of them off the same piece of paper, so it's kinda forward and backward, basically it was written in mirror images.

And dying with no money doesn't mean a damn thing. All that means is they don't know how to deal with money. So they never have any.

[SlightlySlightedFan]

The thing about these 50 + albums is that all of them are quality.
I should have said 50 classics instead. So it's quantity and quality. An unbeatable pair.
