[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I generally agree with the factors listed by a PP and I think that based on those, Purple Rain and Thriller are definitely top contenders (in, inevitably, a specific cultural context). I think the soundtrack to Saturday Night Fever should be on the list of contenders. It's truly hard to pick a "best" considering the vast variety of music out there. And, from my particular bicultural context, Siembra by Ruben Blades and Willie Colon is another landmark album of all time.[/quote] I'm PP that tried to list those factors. Maybe I'll add one more: Did the album 'change' music in anyway. This is related to, but slightly different than influence. I think of how Led Zeppelin's debut album for instance changed the direction of music, and contributed ultimately to an entirely new genre. Same can be said for Nirvana's Nevermind. Thriller would score a 5/5 on influence, but not necessarily as high on changing the direction of music[/quote]
