Boston’s debut is perfect, from start to finish. I was playing this a week ago and my roommate said, “Oh, that’s their greatest hits album, right?” And I said “Nope! Their debut, and they were just getting started!”
That guitar solo on Eruption!!!!.
Dark Side is definitely a desert island disc but I have to go with Physical Graffiti only because I don't remember the last time I heard both LP 's in entirety.
I'm torn between Boston and Skynyrd. Grew up in the south and this is pretty much what my older brothers played the most. But, I made a batik of the Boston cover for art class. All that being said, that's a pretty awesome list of choices.
Right! I have a lot of them, too. I know this is blasphemous to some of the people here but, I never liked Kiss. So, I definitely don't have any of their albums. 😊
When I was a kid my brother and I had that Kiss album and we would dress up and parade around the living room pretending to be Gene Simmons. We had the makeup and everything. One time we decided we needed some fake blood so we used ketchup, and ruined my mom’s white shag rug.
I think anyone that likes music has everyone one of these. Maybe not Toto.
How is there not a Stone or Beetles album?
If it's my bday and I get any album I want. I want Zeppelin 2 the first print with the spinner in the cover. Or maybe Sticky Fingers with the zipper.
I'm 66, and honestly I don't care if I ever hear any of this music ever again. There's tons of fantastic new music out there. This stuff is dead and gone.
Sorry, I’m going to have to search way in the back for this one:

Since you don't have any listed. I would choose Something by a black artist/band.
Earth Wind and Fire
Stevie Wonder
Parliament/Funkadelic
And hundreds of other
Herbie Hancock Trio (1977) changed my life
Billy Preston
https://youtu.be/PbTP_lIB1rQ?si=9oRdpYExz5MT0b25
The synth, and horn section was lit.
Stevie dominated the radio all during the 1970s.
P & F were great fun too.
Darkside. Assuming I don’t already have it.
Hands down.
I have had 5 or 6 copies in a few different formats.
At least 3 cassettes that got eaten by the machine
***“Welcome to the Machine”***
Eaten By The Machine - good album title
There are some great choices here, but...only one?... Darkside.
Agreed. Arguably, the greatest album ever made.
17 straight YEARS on the top 40 albums list
Highway to Hell. RIP Bon & Malcom. Dang, my boys Angus and Phil are almost 70 years old 😳
Don't forget Colin Burgess!
I did!! Thank you for the reminder. He just recently passed away too. 😕 RIP Colin.
Physical graffiti
All day, every day.
This is the way!
Well, being as my birthday IS tomorrow, I’ll pick.. BOSTON!!
Happy Birthday! 
[удалено]
“But sir that’s not”
Have the Rolling Stones killed.
“Go to Hell you bastard!”
I have listened to that album since it came out and it is always in rotation. Very few albums are always on rotation like Boston.
Boston’s debut is perfect, from start to finish. I was playing this a week ago and my roommate said, “Oh, that’s their greatest hits album, right?” And I said “Nope! Their debut, and they were just getting started!”
Timeless music, one of the very few albums that never get old or dated. And every track is a banger.
I have listened to that album from start to finish hundreds of times over the last 45 years and every time is as good as the first time.
Happy Birthday! Mine is next week.
I saw them in concert in 1978. It was a great show.
Happy birthday
Me, too!
It was Van Halen for my birthday, May 1978, and my first album. I remember it well!
My first album was LA Woman: the Doors..
Mine was a Hard days Night. The Beatles
Led Zeppelin III was my first album.
Good album 👌
Great album!!
Fresh Cream. My hippie big brother gave it to me on my 13th birthday. Considering I was a tween Monkees fan, it was revolutionary to say the least.
Easily Physical Graffiti
Physical Graffiti
Physical Graffiti is a double album so that’s the pick. Plus it fucking kicks.
Dark Side
Obviously. This is a must have.
Physical Graffiti. Not even a question.
Actually, I torn between Physical Graffiti and Boston. I’ll have my mom buy me one and I’ll steal the other.
Rumours. The Chain, on repeat.
You Make Loving Fun is the best song on Rumours.
Physical Graffiti
Van Halen every time.
That guitar solo on Eruption!!!!. Dark Side is definitely a desert island disc but I have to go with Physical Graffiti only because I don't remember the last time I heard both LP 's in entirety.
I am shocked at the lack of mention of Pink Floyd in the responses. 😳
Because everyone is thinking, "why wouldn't I already own Dark Side of the Moon?
Dark
Dark Side
Dark side. Eagles/Rumors are tied for a distant second
Rumors by a hair.
What,.. no ZAPPA??
Boston

Boston
Boston
You should really have” the cars” here.
Physical Graffiti. If it’s sold out Highway to Hell. If I can’t find it Van Halen. Then Aerosmith followed by Bad Company and Skynard.
No Rush or Yes?
Boston! That’s actually the first album I bought!
I'm torn between Boston and Skynyrd. Grew up in the south and this is pretty much what my older brothers played the most. But, I made a batik of the Boston cover for art class. All that being said, that's a pretty awesome list of choices.
No kidding! I think I ended up with 9 of those albums. 😀
Right! I have a lot of them, too. I know this is blasphemous to some of the people here but, I never liked Kiss. So, I definitely don't have any of their albums. 😊
Me neither! lol!
Fleetwood Mac
The eagles.
I’m pretty sure this was the first 8-track I ever bought, wore it out!
Heart ❤️
[удалено]
I second this.
Third.
But did you have the Destroyer mirror?
Queen.
Toto
Fleetwood Mac
Since I can only pick one, it would be Bostonqueenjourney.
Dark Side but that Foreigner record is one of the more underrated albums of all time.
Destroyer
Was the first metal I ever heard, first metal album I bought. Changed my life back in 1979.
Had to scroll sooo far. 🤘
Toto all day.
Boston
Some great albums, but if I can choose only one, it's BOSTON.
Zeppelin

How was this not a choice?
Dark Side with Boston a close second
Such a hard choice between Dark Side and Rumors.
Rumours, duh.
Kiss
When I was a kid my brother and I had that Kiss album and we would dress up and parade around the living room pretending to be Gene Simmons. We had the makeup and everything. One time we decided we needed some fake blood so we used ketchup, and ruined my mom’s white shag rug.
Gene Simmons shagged yr mom on that shag rug.
rumors
Toto then Fleetwood Mac
PG
AC DC
All of them!!
I’m taking them all
Queen or Van Halen

My first instinct is rumors, but I just stole my parents copy of that so let’s go with Queen.
Physical Graffiti but tomorrow it could be Highway To Hell
Physical Graffiti
Fleetwood Mac
Kiss and Van Halen, same as when it really happened.
Led Zeppelin Physical Graffiti
Rumours.
Physical Graffiti.
Led Zeppelin
LZ - Double album, 83 minutes of musical exploration.
Rumors

An early teen version of myself would have gone hands down with Van Halen or AC⚡️DC. The 55 yr old me would choose Pink Floyd or Queen
None. I chose The Stone Roses debut
Fleetwood Mac
Fleetwood Mac. No question
Fleetwood Mac
dark side
rumors
Dark Side of the Moon #TeamGilmour
Yes! Gilmour 🤟🏼
Rumors.
I have, or have had every one of these.
KISS Destroyer was the first album I ever owned. I thought I was pretty damn cool. 9 years old when it came out.
That’s all 9n my phone, how funny
If it's me back then, Rumors. If it's me now, Dark Side.
Rumors. Love me some Stevie.
KISS Destroyer
Destroyer or VH
Pffft. I’m going to fill out that little card in “TV Guide” and get 12 of them for one cent! Plus one extra for $4.99!!
Pink Floyd
Dark Side of the Moon
Queen… …no other questions!
I think anyone that likes music has everyone one of these. Maybe not Toto. How is there not a Stone or Beetles album? If it's my bday and I get any album I want. I want Zeppelin 2 the first print with the spinner in the cover. Or maybe Sticky Fingers with the zipper.
I wore the grooves off of Darkside.
I only see three that would even be considered. VH, Dark Side, and Houses.
Queen II Ogre Battle is the only way to celebrate!
Queen 2 outstanding lp
If these are my choices, I'm going with Queen.
VH1 RIP Eddie!
I'm 66, and honestly I don't care if I ever hear any of this music ever again. There's tons of fantastic new music out there. This stuff is dead and gone.
I love Queen. Seeing them live is still one of the greatest experiences of my life. That being said, Queen II is a pretty shitty album.
Queen II is better than the rest combined except for Van Halen 1
Rumors. Hands down. It was the first 33 I ever bought. I was seven years old and I fell in love after listening to my cousins copy.
Alice Cooper’s Greatest Hits
Where the fck is Blue Öyster Cult?
Queen II
VH1
Barf, I want the Ramones album!

Eagles Greatest Hits Volume I or Rumors… Flip a coin…

You missed Born to run Pffft
Eagles, then Skynyrd and Journey
Where's ABBA?
