Fashionable or not, I literally consider this to be the most accomplished album that I have ever heard by any artist. I am very much an audiophile and I genuinely consider it to be superior to anything by even The Beatles, Led Zeppelin or Bowie.
The legendary Brian Eno (Bowie, Talking Heads, Roxy Music...) was the producer and he has described it as being the best thing he's been involved in and also described the song Sometimes as being "the best song of all time."
This album is 33 years old; I've listened to it more than any other record and every single listen has been a blissful experience. It will never age and I can't imagine it ever being matched.

Thinking about it, they are the only Manchester band I own anything by,though that's a stretch they wre from Stockport. Suppose I could throw in Oldham and Dare

Just edged out by "Leaders of the Free World" for me.
"Build a Rocket Boys" is probably my most played Elbow album.

If the question was about the most technically brilliant albums out of MCR, the top 3 would be by 10cc

Build a rocket is my second favourite album, just think every track on seldom is brilliant.

I have both 'Closer' and 'Unknown Pleasures' on 180g vinyl. Closer is the more polished album for sure, but I just love the rawness of Unknown Pleasures.

Hence my name.
Though I prefer Millionaires but that didn’t work!

Village Fire. It's an EP, but dyslexic people don't care.

But isn't that a bit of a compilation?
It's like Alan partridge saying his favourite Beatles album was the best of the Beatles.
