Originally posted by DanH: I would think live albums and best of albums to be cheating in this context. It's too easy to pull out your best hits and play them live.
Nonetheless, I'm going with The Allman Brothers Band: At Fillmore East. And for something completely different, The Best of Sandy Denny (though God only knows why Nothing More wasn't included).

If live albums are eligible for this it has to be Deep Purple - Made in Japan.

Speaking of Springsteen, The River should be on this list.

Freewheeling Bob Dylan and Blood on the Tracks. Actually, I can listen to any of the 1963 through 75 albums and enjoy them. Those two were especially good.

Came into and read this thread to see if this album was named. One of my all time favorites. Didn't see Live Bullets by Seger but that was my choice for live.

Project 86 - Drawing Black Lines The Album that drew me to metal 20 years ago and likely my favorite album to this day. There are very few days that go by I don’t listen to a song or two if not the whole album.
Emery - The Weak’s End For this one I was in a really bad place in life, probably the worst place in life I have ever been and it was almost as if the lyrics were written for me at the time or if I were a song writer I could have written the album. So maybe it does not count or would not have made my list if I would have been at a different place in life.
Robert Miles - Dreamland There is just something about this album. No matter what is going on that keeps me up at night I put this album on and I sleep well and oddly enough usually have crazy vivid dreams while I sleep to it.
This is a great thread. So many good albums especially the older stuff. Interesting how life and life experiences really play into music and what we enjoy vs. what music really has impacted our life or still continues to impact.
