I've got every one of their albums. There's something very dynamic and melodic about them. Incredibly catchy, and awesome musicianship. They've been putting out quality modern jazz for a long time. Jimmy Haslip rules!

Dave Brubeck Quartet - Time Out
I've listen to this album regularly for the past 8 years which is not a lot yet
so many albums from my collection devaluated during that time, that it has to be really special.
 
Mar 5, 2007 at 4:29 AM Post #36 of 53
My Bloody Valentine - Loveless
Nine Inch Nails - The Fragile
Radiohead - OK Computer
Failure - Fantastic Planet

These are probably my favorite albums of all time and have been since I first listened to them, except for Failure I actually didn't like it on the first listen through but it really grew on me.

I always have and still do consider this the most perfect album ever made.

Others stuff that's held up aren't albums in the same sense, but have material that I like more now than ever, half of it is later stuff by The Who, like Quadrophenia, Who Are You, and most especially Going Mobile. The Moog (I think) at the end is still my favorite "solo" line. Every day I appreciate The Who more as a band, and Pete Townshend is getting pretty close to top of my list of favorite guitarists.

Jeff Buckley - Grace

The only one I can remember for now. I would personally take "withstanding the test of time" as an album which withstood the test of time of my attention span, which would be about 3 months or so
