The Best Album Ever Made?

Pookie · 07.17.2007, 06:36 PM

I would have started another "Classic Albums" thread, but this album is too good to sit beside some of the utter SHITE that has appeared in those threads (Iron Maiden for fuck's sake).

This record was produced by Phil Spector, features one of the BEST voices in the history of recorded music, and has some cracking songs.

Any guesses?

Clue: the finest Spector project.

I don't agree, but is it

I don't believe you.

Of course, we all know that the best thing he ever had a hand in is Darlene Love's Christmas (Baby Please Come Home), but you're talking albums and you definitely don't mean 'A Christmas Gift to You'...do you?

Leonard Cohen would fail on this count alone:

Well, you never know. Some people and all that.

demonrail666 · 07.17.2007, 06:58 PM

OK, John Lennon's Rock n Roll. But I thought you hated John Lennon.

Pookie · 07.17.2007, 07:02 PM

I don't remember saying I hated John Lennon. I may have in a fit of pique. Maybe when the muffin shop had run out of apple & cinnamon muffins.

I don't like him though, so it's another: No.

demonrail666 · 07.17.2007, 07:04 PM

Well I don't wanna go down the wikipedia route so I, for one, give up.

Hold on, and I KNOW you haven't chosen this, and I wouldn't choose it either but, End of the Century?

Pookie · 07.17.2007, 07:06 PM

I applaud your integrity (or is it just laziness?).

demonrail666 · 07.17.2007, 07:07 PM

Integrity is rarely a factor. I assure you.

Wow, that was a wild stab in the dark.

Of course the answer is no.

Pookie · 07.17.2007, 07:15 PM

Another clue: I've heard the record described as being "eccentrically produced" by Spector.

demonrail666 · 07.17.2007, 07:17 PM

Aha, Dion's album, what's it called. And agreed - at least in terms of the voice.

demonrail666 · 07.17.2007, 07:19 PM

Born to Be with You.

Aha indeed!

Ignore the fact that he looks like a dodgy taxi driver.

EDIT: Snap.
