Top 10 Timeless Albums?

[Jaredr24]

Which albums would you consider to be timeless? Like the albums you can listen to on a road trip or something and even though you've listened to it many times in the past, you seem to never get tired of listening to it. A timeless album doesn't have to be your favorite but one you can turn on when you're bored and still listen to. Can be new or old.

Mine would be:

1. Explosions in the Sky - The Earth is Not a Cold, Dead Place
2. Places for Breathing - Revis
3. The Fray - The Fray
4. AB III - Alter Bridge
5. Heart Museum - Of Glaciers
6. Hymn of a Broken Man - Times of Grace
7. Mean What You Say - Sent By Ravens
8. Phobia - Breaking Benjamin
9. Comatose - Skillet
10. End of Silence - Red

Don't mean to nitpick but that Revis album is called Places for Breathing

[Timotheus]

Not an easy question, but I gave it a shot:

1. John Mayer - Room For Squares: even though this isn't my favourite JM record, I think it's the one I've listened to the most. There's something uplifting about this record that doesn't annoy me when I'm in a bad mood.
2. Rufus Wainwright - Want One: It's just one of those records that my brain automatically thinks about when I want to listen to something familiar.
3. Biffy Clyro - Only Revolutions: Not my favorite Biffy record, but it's really easy to listen to. It's relatively short and besides the last few songs I'm in love with every song.
4. Muse - Black Holes & Revelations: I don't think this record is as powerful as Absolution or Origin of Symmetry, but I often find myself drawn to this one more when I'm on the train or on the road.
5. Damien Rice - O: It's impossible to get tired of this album.
6. Radiohead - OK Computer: Something about this album really calms me down and excites me at the same time. It's always a good moment to listen to OK Computer.
7. Alter Bridge - Blackbird: I actually don't listen to Blackbird that much anymore, but I think it deserves a mention because it's easily the album I've listened to the most in my entire life.
8. The Raconteurs - Consolers Of The Lonely: Don't have inspiration to write something fancy about this one. It's just really fun and easy to listen to.
9. QOTSA - Songs For The Deaf: Nope, we're not on UG.
10. Placebo - Meds: Yum.

Edit: these are in no particular order, but the first ones are the ones I thought of first, so there probably is a bit more "importance" to the first ones.

[AliceMudgarden]

Hmm... I'll give it a shot:

1. Alice in Chains - Dirt
2. Lorde - Pure Heroine
3. Beautiful Creatures - Beautiful Creatures
4. Uncle Acid and the Deadbeats - Blood Lust
5. Anathema - Weather Systems
6. Nick Drake - Pink Moon
7. The Knife - Silent Shout
8. Radiohead - In Rainbows
9. Aphex Twin – Selected Ambient Works 85-92
10. Björk - Vespertine

6. The Gaslight Anthem - The '59 Sound
7. Thrice - Vheissu
8. Thrice - The Artist in the Ambulance (I tried to avoid putting two of the same artist, but... These two albums are too incredible to NOT put.)
9. 30 Seconds to Mars - This is War (The controversial one!)
10. Linkin Park - Meteora

The list is in no particular order. These are just albums I keep coming back to for more for no apparent reason. They're just incredible.

I just think the same. It's bloody sweet even if you are not in the genre. And I think maybe D.A.N.C.E. that is the most known song of them is the worst in this album. Phantom and Waters of Nazareth are just amazing
