Albums you are truly obsessed with!

Exile On Main Street
Kind Of Blue
Gris Gris
The Kick Inside
Foxbase Alpha (St Etienne)

 

I was born in '72. So, the oldest ones that to this day I still go back to regularly are:

Rush - Moving Pictures/Permanent Waves/Signals (with advent of DAP's I just put all 3 in a folder and shuffle it)

 

CSNY Deja Vu
Doobie Brothers The Captain & Me
Allman Brothers Fillmore East

 

Orange Juice - All
Scritti Politti - All

 

Genisis, I got the intro on keyboard to lamb, gotta love casio keyboards! lol! I'm still trying to figure out what Peter G, is supposed to be? lol Time for penicillin?

 

Right now I'm obsessed with Paul Simon's Graceland.

 

Pink Floyd - The Piper At the Gates Of Dawn
Pink Floyd - A Saucerful Of Secrets
Pink Floyd - The Dark Side Of The Moon
Pink Floyd - Live at Wembley 1974 (a live album I edited together)
Kraftwerk - Kraftwerk 1
Kraftwerk - Kraftwerk 2
Kraftwerk - Ralf & Florian

The Doors - The Doors
Paul McCartney - McCartney
Queen - Queen
The Beatles - Abbey Road
Coldplay - Parachutes

there's probably more...

 

Brian Eno- "Another Green World" and "Before and After Science." Every listen reveals something new and radical, and they truly did change music forever. Not just stylistic exercises, but emotionally powerful.

Diana Ross - The Boss (1979)

Every song is great. Ashford & Simpson really roped Diana in and kept her focused on her best album.

 

Genesis - Seconds Out
Pink Floyd - Animals

 

Lately, I've been obssessed with the three first albums of the band Ghost.
Opus Eponymous
Infestissumam
Meliora

 

Based on the OP parameters for this thread:

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

Doesn't matter how much time passed by - 10, 20, 30 or 40 years - we are still listening to them weekly.

I can't say that I listen to any album weekly. I have listened to "songs" from albums, but not from any one album every week.

 

It's always changing. Has for the last 50 years.

 

Tortoise - TNT
Stereolab - put all their albums in a hat, draw one, and I'll be obsessed with it
The Yes Album
Kraftwerk - Computer World

 

I would say weekly I listen to:
Beatles Second Album
Beatles Something New
The Who Sell Out
Pretty much weekly or every other week for 50 years.

 

Nice call on TNT.

My obsessions with albums go through waves, changes, variations. I've let the needle in my brain get stuck on some albums for weeks on end and other times I listen to something different every day for stretches of time. list of albums I've been obsessed with would be too long here.

Bands/artists I've been obsessed with for the longest periods of time include Albert Ayler, The Beach Boys, David Bowie, Ornette Coleman, Dinosaur Jr, Bob Dylan, Brian Eno, Jimi Hendrix, Japan, John Mayall, Minutemen, Mission of Burma, Willie Nelson, Pearl Jam, The Ramones, Lou Reed, R.E.M., The Replacements, The Rolling Stones, Sun Ra, Cecil Taylor, Paul Westerberg, The Who, Neil Young and Crazy Horse.

I'm sure I left some out.

 

Currently "Stand Up" by Jethro Tull
I bought the deluxe version a few weeks ago and it was money well spent! All box sets should be this fantastic!
