'Blue Lines' (Massive Attack): Greatest ever album?
 

I'm really into this now. Totally perfect music for any mood. Soulful yet edgy with great production. It's the conoisseurs choice :smoke: Anyone not like it/never heard it :nono:

Every track a mini masterpiece. As for 'Unfinished Sympathy', well, we're talking song of the 90s. :zonked:

Will have to download this - my dog ate my original copy (true) forgotten how good it is until this post

It's certainly a seminal album of (soundtrack to?) the 90's!

Hard to believe that it was released as far back as 1991.

Certainly is a great album :smashin: Don't know if it's the greatest all time album of all time though :zonked:

However everyone will have their own thoughts no doubt..... ;)

Great album, but its beginning to age a bit now IMO. Same as Spititualized - Ladies and Gents....... and Primal Screams- Screamadelica.

Not the greatest album of all time for me, I think thats probably split between Pet Sounds and Revolver (and yes, I know thats the critics choice, but, after spending years denying the fact, I've finally arrived at the same conclusion). I would put Nirvana - Nevermind in the same catagory, but will they be as well known as the Beatles or Beach Boys in another 20 years ? Id like to think so, but I wondered bet on it.

2/. Blonde on Blonde
3/. Let It Bleed
4/. White Album
5/. Captain Fantastic
6/. DSOTM
7/. Abbey Road
8/. Moving Pictures

10/. Exile On Main Street

ask me tomorrow though and it will be all change :eek:

11/ Hunky Dory
12/ Sell Out
13/ Gaucho
14/ Beggar's Banquet
15/ Who's Next
16/ Made In Japan

Blue Lines is a top 10 for sure

In your opinion ;)

Stop Making Sense by the talking heads is in the mix too. :smoke:

Gorshin

Forgot about that :eek:

Certainly the DVD is one of the best music DVDs :smashin:

"Blue Lines" is definitely one of the major albums of the '90s. Long overdue for a good quality re-master methinks.

I'd LOVE to hear some demos/alternates/unreleased stuff from the era. Imagine a demo of 'Unfinished Sympathy' :zonked:
