thank you!

*also if you provide a picture say who the band is, the record, and provide a brief description in any style and of any length. your reward will be big big props from my mind.

Mstislav Rostropovich's take on Bach's 6 Suites for Cello. That's probably that record for me.

I'm pretty sure I could listen to nothing but this album for the rest of my life and be happy.

I will definitely and unreservedly say that the first side of this record is one of my favourite records ever.

My other one was originally three Aerial M singles, but has now been compiled together and makes up the first two sides, or first record, in this album:

But this one holds a special place in my heart too.

Most Swans appreciators aren't into it, I should imagine, but it's there for me at my lowest or heaviest or emptiest places and I appreciate that kind of thing.

picking a top three is cheating

I've listened to it for 20 years and it has never palsied in my imagination.The longer tracks are repetitive without ever growing monotonous, the shorter ones are punchier than Joe Pesci, the lyrics are confounding and intriguing without seeming pretentious, the cover art is fine and they're my favourite band of all times.
