No filler tracks, an amazing title track, an amazing epic, lengthy song, makes me feel nostalgic, great percussion, fantastic vocals, great guitar work, the best guitar solo ever, I can listen to it three times a day and it won't bore me.
Probably my all time favourite album.
I'm not so sure now. What do I love about music? I guess it could be melody, but then again, melody isn't what attracts me to black metal or Einstuerzende Neubauten. I remember there was a thread awhile ago which was about dissonance and melody, and someone said they just like sound. So I guess I love music for its sound(s).

It has to do with why I find this topic impossible to actually completely answer. One album can't embody everything I love about music, because music means many different things and sometimes they are flat out contradictory.

One thing I love about music is perfect melody, another is dissonant noise, another is rhythm, another is minimalism, but then sometimes complexity can be very interesting too...

What makes Curtis Mayfield sound amazing to me is nothing like what makes Iannis Xenakis equally so. The music of John Fahey is not of the same language as the music of Public Enemy. I'm not even sure that the music of John Fahey's later work is of the same language as his acoustic folk albums.

When you use mathematics to convey meaning, there is really only one language you can use, though it is infinitely far reaching. Despite what John Williams and the director of Close Encounters of the Third Kind may have tried to say about music as a universal language, even if you keep the aliens out of the picture and just stay on Earth, there are often more musical languages in even one culture than spoken dialects.

In an effort to come as close to answering the topic question as possible I decided on The Velvet Underground & Nico because it somehow cohesively runs much of the gamut of what I love about music. Closer than anything else I could think of anyway. There are still languages it doesn't speak, however.

You pretty summed up why I feel this question completely unanswerable

nels cline trio's chest

the perfect mixture of a sonic youth aesthetic with a jazz and improvisors sensibility. an epic cd that ranges from atmospheric noise to jazz balladry to sonic youth rocking to free swing etc...

in all honesty i would a totally different musician had i never heard nels and this cd.

there is no singing or rapping on this so its missing those elements so.....

tara jane oneil - tjo tko

beautiful guitar playing and writing.

something from wu tang probably....

Roxy Music - For Your Pleasure

Definitely the edgiest pop music in the early 70's. I consider it Prog-Pop. It shimmers and rocks at the same time
