It's almost impossible for me to have a favourite album from artists that I like. There's so much to consider. For example, Pink Floyd, I can't choose "The dark side of the moon" over "The piper at the gates of dawn" because I love them for different reasons, and "Wish you were here" is one of the best followup albums I've heard of. Beatles again, I love "Please please me" as much as I love the later stuff, and the early stuff too like the album they recorded with Tony Sheridan. "River of dreams" Billy Joel was one of my first albums and I love that a lot but I wouldn't call it my favourite. "The stranger" and "52nd Street" are right up there though, but then I love the contrast between "Cold spring harbor" and "Piano man" and I love the intimacy of "Cold spring harbor". I love Carole King's "Tapestry" but I've never heard her other albums. I've heard other songs but not the full albums. Then Queen, there's something I love about every one of their albums, but they all have something that I don't like. "Sweet lady" from "A night at the opera" is the song from that album I don't like.

What about cast recordings? "Jesus Christ Superstar" and "Evita" are amazing to me and I treasure those a lot, Jeff Wayne's musical version of "The war of the worlds" (I still haven't heard "Spartacus"), and the American premiere recording of "Sunset Boulevard" and the soaring highs of "Songs from whistle down the wind" and the crashing lows, ugh, Donny Osmond... which brings us back to Jim :-)
