Thank god; now people cannot bitch about Funeral being in top 10 24/7.

Now that I think about it, most Swans albums fit that bill

I guess The White Album could be seen as being in the same league. It might be more a generational thing. The Clash just appeal to my tastes a lot more than The Beatles do, and that's not my favorite Beatles album.

I just don't think any of those albums can compete with London Calling. There is not even an average moment on London Calling. It's a perfect album. Those other ones aren't, imo. But if you disagree, fine.

I'm with CDQ on this, London Calling is just about as great as anything has ever been. I just adore it on a whole other level!
Blonde On blonde is of the same caliber nearly, but I just don't think it has quite same personal connection with me. I know I am super biased.
But, Exile is classic and deserving to be considered same order of magnitude of badassness at some points. But exile has filler that London calling doesn't. I think it would be good to have a track by track battle between them. They are comparable. But whereas Exile has "Turd on the Run" London calling has nothing like that. The closest thing you can call filler on it is Koka Kola and personally that is fucking marvelous as well! "Elevator, GOING UP!" (Doo doo, do doo do do!) "In the cleaning corridor of the 51st floor the money can be made if you really want some more."

I think this album is the best album of all time. Two other albums beat it out for me in terms of personal connection, but what other album can maintain such a tremendous quality for more than an hour?

Sorry, I was being a bit facetious. I can see why someone would think the end drags a bit on the album, although I personally disagree. I just wanted to find a way to work in a Big Lebowski reference. =P

Hahaha, it's OK, I get it now, sorry for stretching this 😄
