What's Your Favorite Album???

[7red7]

Greetings everyone, just curious as to what you all consider to be the best :)

For me personally I'm going with the original...Forever Young is an absolute masterpiece...This is the AV I got started with, after seeing the rawness of the Big In Japan video, I was sold

[~PTInc]

This thread makes my head hurt.

[7red7]

So why waste the time and post on it??? :)

[Avil]

I agree with 7red7, don´t complain!!

My fave is Salvation, their latest album. It´s a back-to-the-roots album and it´s absolutely fantastic. Flame is my favesong ever, and it´s on this album. Love it.

[7red7]

Thanks for the support Avil :D I also love Salvation...It's so hard to choose, Slavation is an awesome comeback to the old school sound...However my current favorite song is Wishful Thinking from the Stark Naked Live album :)

[~PTInc]

Cuz I can never pick a favourite. Its not that I have a different album for each mood Im in... It just that I like too much music.

>.< damnit

I actually sat thru my wesern civ class for quite a while pondering my top 5. (Similar to the theme in "High Fidelity") And in the end... I couldnt come up with a solid list but more like twenty albums that could make the top five on any given day.

So Im just gonna give a quick shout out to.. NCC - Seven Steps of Nervousness. Not necessarily my all time fav or anything... but definately one that has kept my attention and constantly impressed me with every listen since the day I got it.

[~PTInc]

And dont worry about the snappy reply... I dont have any hard feelings or anything. :-)

Yeah... ::sigh:: I see that now. I should prolly pay more attnetion to which forum I'm in since I use the "latest active threads" feature.

::hangs head in shame::

[7red7]

No wonder it made your head hurt, if I had to name my all time favorite album, I could never do it :laugh:

So ya got a favorite Alphaville record??? :)

[7red7]

So okie dokie then Joel help a brotha out man...What's yours??? :)

[~Cyanophile]

This is something that has chenged for me over time...

For a long while Forever Young was my favorite, but then I really began to appreciate Afternoons In Utopia even more.

Today though, I'm torn between Salvantion and Stark Naked.
I am a big fan of Apollo live...

[7red7]

I agree, Stark Naked was great comeback for me personally...It's the first AV cd I'd gotten since The Breathtaking Blue...:)

[~Tekkrokk]

I've listened to Salvation more times than any other AV album. Thats my choice. MANY great songs: Wishful Thinking, Flame, Soul Messiah, Inside Out, Pandora's Lullaby, etc.

Cannot wait for new material..........

[~Wych]

Salvation and SNAAL =)

[~Hajas]

Alphavile is one of somes 80's bands that are better now then on the 80's in my opinion.

His albums Prostitute and Salvation are really great!

[~ilvisintetic]

my favorite are 'forever young' and 'salvation'. 'forever young' is a masterpiece.

[~Bornslippy]

at the moment it's back to "Compuphonic" by Echo Image.

[~Cyanophile]

I think Compuphonic is an excellent album too, Bornslippy... do Echo Image have any other albums, btw?

And I think this thread was meant more as "What's you favorite Alphaville album?" :)

[Avil]

I don´t know what to say.
I´ve read so many different opinions about AV here, happy to see that most of them are positive.

As you all already might know I´m a HUGE fan of AV.
All their albums are so special, I wouldn´t pic a fave, but I´ve already done that, although I must say that Afternoons in Utopia is a great great album aswell. But Salvation rocks.
I think you have to hear all their albums to be able to get a true opinion about them and their way to create music during the years. FY and Salvation are too alike to be compared, Salvation is just a back-to-the-roots album and a great one! :)

ilivsintetic, great avatar :)

Hey Avil, you'd be the perfect person to ask this question...Do AV have any other videos made other than Big In Japan??? I know it's a dumb question and I'm sure they do, but what are they??? :)

[~Wych]

videos.. lots of them...
I used to have most of them until I lost a hard drive.. *SOB CRY*

Middle of the Riddle was great... Forever Young is cute.. tres 80's...

[7red7]

Really, a Forever Young Video??? Now this, I have to see...I'm sure they're out there somewhere, now the question is, where to look :)

[~pop]

Underworld's dubnobasswithmyheadman
This album is my top favorite from late 90s.

They have many videos aside Big In Japan.

You can buy Songlines in VHS at www.musicexpress.com with all videos of the second album, really all tracks have a video.

They have also two version of Forever Young video, one is a remix.

And "Fools" also had a video, and a 3 versions of Big in Japan.

I have these ones and some others, but probally they have more.

Thank you so much Hajas! I've been trying to obtain a copy of songlines for a very long time now, and there it is, for sale through a regular german music site and soon to be mine... thank you, thank you :)

I found my Forever Young video on an 80's video VCD compilation on eBay. =P

There is also something called "Songlines" which I don't have yet because I'm broke.. but it's actually up on eBay right now

eBay is evil..

[Avil]

Videos have been made for:

Big in Japan
Sounds like a melody (so funny)
Forever Young (very beautiful one, love the diamond)
Jet Set (happy video)
Red Rose
Dance with me (my absolute fave!!!)
Universal Daddy
Sensations
Fools
Soul Messiah

Plus all songs from The breathtaking blue.
but remember!!!! The videos for these songs aren´t regular videos, they are shortfilms made by different directors, and has nothing to do with AV except the music in the video. The members take no part in these videos.
