Dunno, I reckon whatever album I took, after 18 months of solid listening I'd probably get tired of it.

I never get tired of it and it never fails to leave me in awe. It's not the album that I play the most but it's the one that means the most, like I can only listen to it in certain situations.

Fact!

but OK Computer for me

It's A Shame About Ray

Greatest album of all time.

Every track is brilliant, a lot of them have catchy moments, yet at times it's the most confusing messed up album I've ever heard. There's just so much to appreciate about it.

but I may swap it for Young Team. They're about level for me.

closely followed by The Blue Album

Not the greatest album of all time but I've listened to it at least once a week for the past...oooh...twelve years - so I reckon it'd serve me well on my voyage.

straight up. This time in the right thread!

works well in any mood

probably Tool - Aenima, I just never seem to get tired of it, love every bit of it.

ATNTIIO

maybe.

or Burzum 'Filosofem'

Both have bits of rage and bits of serenity.

Might as well take a double and my favourite. Clearly no the best album though.

Never ever ever gets boring.

i lov

There's 3 in contention for me; Guided By Voices - Human Amusements at Hourly Rates (hits, but still brilliant), Manics - Holy Bible, and I'll add another to the list for The Bends.

The Blue Album trails narrowly.

But probably iForward, Russia!- Life Processes
But I'd stick At the Drive-In- Relationship of Command and Fugazi- End Hits and maybe Mogwai- Happy Songs in between my arse cheeks before I got into my spacesuit.

probably. Because it's like listening to music AND reading a book. But if I were allowed to take a book then probably Duke Ellington Live in Paris 1959, because it reminds me of home, and it'd transport me to another time, another place.

but as an album, In the Aeroplane Over the Sea is pretty much perfect

Predictable yes, but true I think

with OK Computer and Trout Mask Replica hovering in the background.

The recording from Berlin 1942 (performed for Hitler's birthday, with the Nazi high command in attendance).

Sod your indie nonsense.

Not only is it my favourite album but there's plenty of material there so less chance of boredom creeping in.

Has something for every mood I could ever be in. Beck brings it on every song.

However looking at other people's posts, 69 love songs is a nice idea, as it's very long and less boredom, plus a nice topic if you're on your lonesome for a long while.

brand new -deja entendu or () by sigur ros i reckon() would sound better than brand new in space

It has everything: reflective piano ballads, intense & schizophrenic epics, uplifting but effortless mess-around skits, ambient pieces that take me to somewhere else, songs to make me reluctantly cry, a purity and beauty unlike anything else, and about 5 of my favourite songs ever. Honestly if every other album I own was to dissolve into dust right now except that one I wouldn't mind.

Pretty long too which helps!

...so the prospect of having only one album to listen to for 18 months is terrifying.

Still, if I were only allowed to have one album and that would be the last album I'd hear for 18 months I guess it would be 'Dark Side Of The Moon' - suits the environment too.

My favourite album is 'AS the Roots Undo' by Circle Takes the Square but... I think I'd go insane if I heard it more that once a day. Too. Much. Intensity. Too. Much. Emotion.

For the interstellar journey scenario I'd go for Stars of the lid 'Their Refinement...' because it's long and I could just chill out and watch the stars go by forever. I don't think I'd ever get bored of that.

Actually, has anyone got a space rocket they could lend me?

Another vote for Turn On The Bright Lights.
Perhaps The Velvet Underground and Nico.
Also, perhaps My Bloody Valentine-Loveless.

or something like that.

Perfection!

I don't think I'll ever tire of it, and I still maintain that it's the best record ever made.

I think I'd go with...

TOOL - Aenima

I don't get the Interpol love...

I'd take R Kelly's 'Trapped in the Closet - The complete series on MP3'. Not sure if it would work without the videos though.

well, its the one i listen too most. Or happy songs for happy people by the gwai.

I just think it's the most exciting piece of music that's ever, ever been written. I could listen to it endlessly.

I think I'd get bored sooner with Revolver, so probably Kid A.

so I guess the one album I would want saturated into my brain permanently is "The Queen is Dead" - The Smiths.
or, I could just acquiesce and go with "The Bends" as well... although I think it would make me miss planet Earth too much.

If I could only listen to one voice for rest of time it would have to be Syd.
