Albums you are truly obsessed with!

We all have that particularly album that never leaves our soul!

Doenst matter how much time passed by - 10, 20, 30 or 40 years - we are still listening to them weekly.

Its just not your favorite albums we are talking here! Its the ones that you literary worship above everything else!!!

My choices are:
Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here (best album ever )
Metallica - Master of Puppets
Nick Drake - Bryter Layter
Rush - Fly By Night

Listen to them at least once a week since I was 15 ... its been a while!

 

Almost every Beatle album
Sticky Fingers/Let Bleed
Tommy
Cosmo's factory
Thick As A Brick
Abraxas

...there are others which border on obsession but these are top tier.

 

Ohio Players - Honey
Parliament - Dr. Funkenstein

 

UK - UK
Close To The Edge
Chris Squire - Fish Out Of Water
Brand X - Masques
Steve Reich - The Desert Music 1985
Philip Glass - 1000 Airplanes On The Roof

 

Jethro Tull - Aqualung

Actually a bit of a slow burner for me. Got it on CD back in the 90s but more recently became obsessed, have a few vinyl & CD versions.

 

Captain Beefheart/Magic Band - Safe As Milk
Wendy Carlos - Switched On Bach
United States Of America - United States Of America

 

For years I've enjoyed the music of Miles Davis, particularly Sketches of Spain. Though I don't listen to this record frequently (its a demanding listening experience), when I do, I always carve out a long space of time so that I can hear this record in its entirety, uninterrupted. There's no other music I do this for. And I'm not really a huge jazz fan, but this record. . . it was Miles and Gil at their creative zeniths and a masterful creative lunge forward for all music.

 

Albums that I both "literally" and "literary" worship above all else are:

Blood On The Tracks - Bob Dylan
Radio City - Big Star
Shadows and Light - Joni Mitchell
Rust Never Sleeps - Neil Young and Crazy Horse

 

Great choices guys

Nice to see someone mentioned Aqualung

 

I wasn't but I think I will....

1) Santana "Caravanseri"
2) Doobie Brothers "The Captain and Me"
3) Keith Jarret "The Survivor's Suite"
4) Phil Manzanera "801 Live"
5) Brand X "Unorthodox Behavior"
6) Miles Davis "We Want Miles"
7) Frank Zappa "One Size Fits All" and "Hot Rats"

Too many? Believe me there's a lot more where those came from.
