Most beautiful music album ever made?

[vinegar hill]

I call albums records.

I'd not call Revolver a beautiful record.

It's superb mind.

Ok then tracks on the record.
In the eye of the beholder and all that.

 

[RJs shoes]

This has to be one of them

I can’t think of many albums where I’ve used “beautiful” as its adjective. Recently maybe this one:

came on here to post this. heartbreakingly beautiful, not an album I could listen to each week though

Joanna Newsom - Ys

great shout

 

[EcosseMackem]

I'll probably get pelters from some but I know one or two on here will agree with me

Joy Division's Closer is a beautiful album in my humble opinion as long as you are prepared to look for the beauty within

 

[Trauntrian]

Music wise: Pink Floyd The Wall.
Cover wise: Who gives a fuck.

Ironic given your statement that you choose an album with such a great front cover.
I like best the cover of some lp editions where the title was on a removable acetate, leaving no markings, front or back, so when opened up it forms one big massive unbroken wall.

Tapestry - Carol King

That's my hungover album! I don't think I've heard it all the way through when not a bit rough

 

[Deano]

This lot were always beautiful

Tindersticks - Tindersticks (Second Album)

 

[jedi_toaster]

Shack - HMS Fable

I remember buying this after listening to it on one of those listening posts in old HMVs (1998 iirc). I’d never heard of them before and thought the first few songs were beautiful, so made the purchase.

However, I also did this with Alanis Morrissette’s ‘Jagged Little Pill’, so it’s not always a successful way to buy albums....

I was at college in Newcastle & used to go in Virgin on Northumberland St & do that. Spend hours listening to snippets of songs.

 

[Hardyman's Yugo]

Babylons Burning is a cracking tune but what the fuck is Human Punk on about?

Great track

 

[bedlington mackem]

Diana & Marvin.
Music to shag to.

Yeah great album but Marvins solo " I want You" is more erotic

 

[Hardyman's Yugo]

For 'beautiful' I'd go with Stevie Wonder Innervisions or something by Joni Mitchell

 

[bedlington mackem]

For a 3 CD set it couldnt all be beautiful but parts of Prince's Emancipation truly are especially his covers of La La Means I love You and Betcha By Golly Wow

For 'beautiful' I'd go with Stevie Wonder Innervisions or something by Joni Mitchell

Innervisions is a great shout

Track 19 mate

 

[alicante mackem]

Probably one of Tom Waits's or Leonard Cohen's albums.

 

[Mackem Al]

Depends on what you class as beautiful I suppose but I would include stuff like:
The Sound of Silence - Simon and Garfunkel
Pet Sounds - Beach Boys
The Queen is Dead - The Smiths
Electribal Memories - Electribe 101
