Oeeeeeeeeeh that's a tough question Kimba! ( Welcome!) We had so many discussions about this already , and they get pretty aggresive hahaha!
As for me....Jeez. I think it will have to be............Dig you're own hole.
I couldn't say why really. I think it's because i love beats , to me it's all about beats , and DYOH is a cd to go ape on. I love all their work but if i had to choose , it would be DYOH. It's an outstanding album , revolutionary i would say!

Hi Kimba, welcome aboard.
I will not choose which one of my children I like best, for fear of pitting one child against the other. Each album has a special place in my life, some perhaps more than others - but each one signifies different things of the past that I can carry with me into the future. It's all good!
Besides, I don't want to get into another pissing match with Bosco. teehee. ;)

Come With Us is my favorite......never have understood why it recieved a bad rap from criticts. I honestly think its Tom and Ed's best attempt outside of the "Big Beat genre."

Old man hairstyles are a flop.

Personally, Body Language is the Kylie album that most appeals to me. It's the very definition of slinky and sultry, yet in a mature way that reflects the age and experience of the artist. I can listen to it in a tub full of bubbles, on the dancefloor, or while I fuck my girl rotten. I do find it a speck disappointing that all traces of disco seem to be erased, but the quality of songwriting more than compensates for this.
Oh, I was supposed to talk about the Chems? Oops. Sorry.

so elegant and well spoken Slipvin (!)
Come with us is what really got me hooked on chems. I can never forget listening to It Began in Afrika for the first time and when hoops came on.Perfect. Still the most played chem album followed by DYOH.

For personal sentimental reasons, Come With Us still remains my favourite album, tho it's surely not their strongest one. Just my personal favourite...
I think the same way........but dont sell "Come With Us" short! Its an awesome album. It shouldnt be shunned because it didnt follow their typical style of music. ( at least, thats why i think it was disliked so much :? )
anyways.....i made this
dont take it too seriously :P..........but i think i pretty much got the differences between each album somewhat graphed
........feel free to bash it :P

The larger the catalogue, the more likely it is that over time, the camp will be split into 2 sides.
Or in the case of the Chems like I've seen over the years, the split camp was more akin to 2 warring factions. Pre-Surrender vs. Post-Surrender.
X-D I guess there's no pleasing everyone 100% of the time!
One thing I've noticed about Chems fans that I thiknk is cool is that the ones who don't care for much post-Dig Your Own Hole material are still fiercely protective of the Chems' first 2 albums. It says a lot about the music if it can make people stick with the band even though the band might have released albums that didn't live up to certain expectations.

Thanks whirlygirl, and Thanks Bosco - I like the graph, and yes it helps:)
as for you Slipvin - I mentioned earlier I was a computer nimrod - and this is the first time I've done a forum, chat thing, whatever - SOOOOO, I didn't know how to do a search, and I tried to read the stuff, but everyone was talking about shit I didn't know - not about the music!! - so, after 15 min trying to figure out how to post...here I am. Sorry if my lack of computer intellect, caused you undue stress!!!

Okay.
You suck! And your stupid guide too!! Everybody knows DYOH is the personification of Big Beat.
