What album would you recommend everybody to listen to at least once. Whether they love it, hate it, never heard of it, or maybe not bothered with because they thought they wouldn't like it.
I would recommend 'Brave' by Marillion. It's a concept album, very clever with some really powerful songs.
there is no way anyone on earth cannot listen to either "Bleed american" (the album, it's now self titled since september 11th) by Jimmy Eat World or "Lechuza" by fenix Tx and now love them. the songs on the two albums are just so far reaching, and each song really *does* sound different. listen to them as albums though, because listening to just tracks can lead only to the dark side, whereas listening to them as albums takes you on a journey.
