AbsurdistOtaku said: Probably...Good Kid Maad City by Kendrick Lamar. Yes, I love Illmatic and It Was Written more, but they don't have the substance of Good Kid Maad City, as Illmatic and It Was Written are mainly gangster, trash-talking, style > substance albums. Which is fine, but I'd get tired of hearing Nas rap over and over about how great he is. What about you OP? For the longest time my answer would've been To Pimp a Butterfly but these days it's a tossup between Dogg Food and Mr. Scarface is Back. If i had to listen to one album forever i'd like a mix of bravado and aggression so I understand your sentiment on Nas' confidence, it's infectious. |

| Right now, it's Kind of Blue by Miles Davis. Best selling jazz album of all time. Paved way for the popularization of modal jazz and just brought something new on the table with more possibilities on how jazz can be played. Way ahead of its time. My favorite track in the album is "Blue In Green" and was written alongside Bill Evans, a great jazz pianist. |

 This was like my autobiography during the low points of my life, and even though I'm in a better place these days, I still find it highly relatable. Everything aged well. Oh so well. The lyricism, the samples, the beats, and the hooks. There's not a single track I'll skip because every song has a story and the vibes complement each other from the first tune to the last. I am forever grateful this album exists |

Who's Lamp? Could you tell me more about them? I'm curious. lamp is a indie japanese group! they have pop, jazz, and alternative songs. all their music got put on apple music and spotify a couple of months ago so i really recommend checking them out because they have such beautiful songs. |

| I Met You When I Was 18 by Lauv. It’s got a lot of my favorite songs and it’s an album I never get bored of~ |
 It’s okay to look back at the past, just don’t stare too long |
| I basically lived off Ephemeral by Mr.Kitty for months, a whopping 30 songs to obsessively alternate between. Still aint tired of it. It's simply catchy and turns off my brain for a while, but when I tune in, the message resonates with me. But for the rest of my life? Dunno about that, I think something without words, or is uplifting, or that I can't understand would be better. I'd go with any album from Epik High - but if we pretend that Tablo's Fever's End Part 1 and 2 are one album, then that. It's incredible, the sorrow and the strength he weaved into this solo project. I'm still so proud and so grateful for the beauty his music continues to bring into my life. The defining song from it for me is called Thank You for Breathing and it's like receiving a hug in music form. |

| not sure honestly, cause ofc it's a record by John Coltrane but I have a hard time deciding between these two, A Love Supreme and Live In Japan. First one is one of his finest works and one of the best works in music in general meanwhile Live In Japan is a 5 hour collection of his playing at its most ascended during his final days. Either way I would pick one of these two tbh, probs A Love Supreme cause I have it ranked higher on my top 100 of all time compared to Live In Japan. |

| In the Court of the Crimson King - King Crimson Each song is totally unique. |
| Really hard question to answer because my favorite album of all time is, and will always be, Loveless, but I listened to it so much through the years that now I'm kind of becoming tired of it, even though I still find it brilliant. I've listened to it what, 7 or 8 times this year? This is very low, 4 or 5 years ago it was pretty normal for me to listen to it almost every day. At the same time, there's still no other album that makes me feel the giant array of emotions that Loveless does, so I think I'd still go with it. |

| This is extremely difficult for me, especially seeing as I listen to a vast array of genres (and my music collection holds roughly ~80,000 songs). But of all those albums and songs, it would have to be a toss-up between these two, depending on my mood at the time. Right now it would probably be the former, but these are pretty much my two favorite albums of all-time: The Weatherman by Gregory Alan Isakov Raising Your Voice... Trying to Stop an Echo by Hammock pure said: probably beach house's depression cherry because that album is sooo dreamy and i like it a lot This is a fantastic album. You've got great taste. :) |

| Damn this is hard, but I'd probably pick "The Wall" by Pink Floyd not because it's my favourite album ever, let alone my favourite Pick Floyd's album (I just don't have one, loved most of 'em). It's just a big-ass loop of what seems to be a single song, and I can never get tired of it. |

| This is like asking what limb would you choose to have chopped off.... I’d probably choose something like Blood on the Tracks(Bob Dylan), or Lola vs. Powerman(The Kinks), those albums never get old for me. It would not be possible for me to actually pick though. There’s about fifty different albums that I like as much or more. Some albums I love, but definitely wouldn’t want them to be the only thing I could listen to. |
| Pink Floyd's The Wall. Absolute masterpiece. |
