I think we have to admit that it was well ahead of its time, the innovation, and the experimentation makes this album stand out, without mentioning that songs like A day in the life, Lovely rita, and Lucy in the sky with diamonds, were masterpieces.
Originally posted by generalissimoI think 'Abby Road' is the best Beatles album, its parts work better for the whole. 'Love Supreme is hard for me to compare against 'Kind of Blue', they are both at the top of there game. But for the best ROCK album in the last 25 years, you gotta give 'Appetite For Destruction' the prize. GnR sucked after but that album was gold.

I'm going to go with something really radical: Morton Feldman's "String Quartet (II)" by the Ives Ensemble.
It's a single movement that clocks in at around 5 hours.
From the New York Times review:
"There is no syntax in his music; there are no transitions, no connective tissue and certainly none of the contrapuntal rhetoric one associates with string quartet writing. Instead there are pairs of chords that recur over and over; four-note repeating melodies in pizzicato; breathy tone clusters; D sharp leading to C sharp again and again; and about every 15 minutes, an arch-shaped theme that keeps coming back like the eternal unanswered question...No music had ever before sounded like Feldman's, and even within his output, no other piece ever sounded like this. "
