What is your all time favorite album? The one you go back to again and again. The one that, after a long layoff, you play again and it still sends the shivers up the spine it did when you first heard it?
For me it is Close to the Edge by Yes.
I bought the album when it first came out, and after about 6 months had to buy another as It was showing signs of wear as I had played it so much. I then bought it again on CD and can go years without playing it, but when I dig it out again, It gives me the same thrill.
It's not for the drumming, great though it is, its the overall musicianship and song structures that blow me away.
What about you?
