Neil Diamond's Sweet Caroline... best album ever...
bahahaha
I cant really think of my pick for the greatest... To me, In the Court of the Crimson King by King Crimson comes to mind, of course Pink Floyd's DSOTM is amazing too. Hard question

This is an impossible task. They only way to really say an album was the greatest is by how influential it was. That being said, you have to go with The Beach Boys pet sounds, Or the Beatles White album, or The Beatles Sgt peppers lonely hearts club.

I'd say either Tool -- Lateralus or Smashing Pumpkins -- Siamese Dream.

An interesting question which I have long ago decided upon. There is really only one true monster. Many albums are great and some have been mentioned. Pet Sounds. Court of the Crimson King isn't even the best Crimson album. Dark Side is the tits and there are a couple Stones albums, especially Sticky Fingers. The Beatles are for homos. Blind Faith. Genesis Selling England By the Pound. Any one of the first three Zeps plus Zoso. Zappa Roxy and Elsewhere. The Dead Workingman and Skeleton and Roses. But none of the them is the total monster that is the Who's Who's Next. Top to bottom wall to wall brilliance, from Baba O'Reilly to Going Mobile, from Won't Get Fooled Again to Behind Blue Eyes. My Wife to Bargain. A true masterpiece. If you don't believe me play the whole thing again from beginning to end.

The short list, at first thought, would be:
The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars by David Bowie... Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys... The Bends by Radiohead... The Name of This Band is Talking Heads

Very tough question and almost impossible to answer.
Right now I'd have to say the greatest album in my opinion is Physical Graffiti by Led Zeppelin. But tomorrow I might say Darkside of the Moon by Pink Floyd. Led Zeppelin IV kicked major ass...they used some very cool recording locations and the hit Stairway to heaven was recorded on that album.
Lateralus by Tool is mind blowing as well as their new one!
Sabbath Bloody Sabbath is easily one of my favs as well.
Deep Purple's Machine Head rocks some serious ass as well(Lazy anyone? )
Ozzy's Blizzard of Oz is in there as well.
So tough to pick just one

Those four albums were by far the top one-band product of the late 70s early 80s. Except for the Clash. Maybe.

Haha Some very interesting albums here. I can't believe I forgot dark side of the moon. Pink Floyd slipped my mind. Good too see Tool made peoples list, Lateralus was amazing, so was 10,000 Days. No one mentions the Eagles at all, Selected Works 1972-1999 was a great album, even tho it was a best of. Just showcase the bands greatness... Cheers, keep em' comming, Gen

Wow. I've been trying to think of a few albums I could name for this thread. Not once did Who's Next pop into my mind, but reading your post made me smack myself in the head. What a great suggestion.

this is a silly question, its like asking what your favorite kind of music is. Music is like food in the sense that there's alot more too it then just the general tantalizing of your senses, music builds an atmosphere and an environment on its own, without even trying. Something's sound great at some times, and at some times there's things I couldn't stand listening to at one point and love it the next.
But if I had to pick a seriously well produced album, it have to be dj shadow's entroducing.
