This must be in a category os "stupid questions", but I dont remember seeing this discussed/argued before, so here it goes:

We all have shouted out our favorite albums time and time again, but I don't recall thread about "why's"....so I'm asking u to once again post ur fav album, backed up with why you prefer that particular album. And I am expecting more than just "it rocks"......and keep this in the positive side.

here's mine:

Debut.
Heard runaway on radio when the single came out. Instantly it sounded like something new and fresh, not to mention it was bit different from everything I was into back then. Album came out, bought it without further listening. I was amazed about how catchy yet powerful the whole album was, only track that didn't quite fit in was Love Lies.

Now years has passed by, but still listening to that album, it sounds fresh. Ok, soundwise it is bit outdated, but energy of young band is still very clear. I still don't find any cold, calculated radio friendly hits in it, just rock at its best. Looking back, I surely believe that other tracks from it than just Runaway deserves a change. Goddamn they should play them live. Maybe with bit of a new arrangement, but damn them songs are still great.

EDIT: Point was to choose *one* album. It's easy to pick 2 or 10, but one, the absolutely most enjoyable, is another thing. *That* is what I was asking for.
