The album you've played most from start to finish in your lifetime

No idea really, but I've been listening to Keith Jarrett's Survivors' Suite several times a year every year since 1982. The transitional point in the music gets me every time...
Dragnet and Perverted by Language by The Fall never leave my MP3 player...

 

Three albums, each so completely different from the next that it's frightening, immediately come to mind for me.

The Four Seasons - "The Genuine Imitation Life Gazette"
The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band - "Uncle Charlie & His Dog Teddy"
Francis Albert Sinatra & Antonio Carlos Jobim - "Self-titled"

 

Creedence Clearwater Revival - Bayou Country, never tire of listening to it. I play every bassline, cymbal crash, rhythm guitar, lead guitar in my head and sing along to every song, I actually think i can sing it better than John Fogerty at this stage.

Probably either The North Star Grassman and the Ravens by Sandy Denny, The Twelve Dreams of Dr Sardonicus by Spirit or Chameleon in the Shadow of the Night by Peter Hammill

Er, I notice they all have very long titles.

 

Pretty hard to do this accurately but probably one of:
Juju - Siouxsie & The Banshees
The Raven - the Stranglers
Faith - The Cure, or
All Those Wasted Years - Hanoi Rocks

 

The Dark Side of the Moon.

 

These:

 

LZ IV

 

Pink Moon
Pour Down Like Silver
Unhalfbricking
Blonde on Blonde
John Lennon / Plastic Ono Band
Hejira

Come to mind.

 

Not my most played but all three of these get heavy rotation at my house. Glad to find another fan of hold your fire

 

One Size Fits All.

I’m not a huge Zappa fan, and my tastes have changed some since the early seventies, but I’ve never tired of this. It’s always start to finish, and it’s often once a week.

 

My best guess today, Rubber Soul with Blood on the Tracks second.

 

I guess it would be
Starland Vocal Band:
‘White Light White Heat’
:—)

 

Grand Wazoo is close to the most played for me.

 

“Another side of Bob Dylan”
Not his best of course but one of the first albums of any kind that I owned. My mates and I would try to figure out the meaning of every line in every song on that record. Played it at least one a day from start to finish for 2 or 3 years.
Close second would be “Blonde on Blonde” although it took a bit more time to play both albums from start to finish. Still love that record and actually enjoy the recent Old Crow cover.

 

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, by a lot.

 

The Beach Boys - Pet Sounds
My Bloody Valentine - Loveless
Love - Forever Changes
Simon and Garfunkel - The sound of silence
The Cure - Faith
The Kinks The Village Green Preservation Society
Berlioz -
Symphonie Fantastique orchestrated by Munch
Joy Division - Unknown Pleasures
Shellac - Live At Action Park
pink floyd - piper
Télévision -marquee moon
Miles davis - in a silent way


Sorry didn't see the s in the thread title. Anyway one of those. How can you measure which one ?

 

Actually, my real answer might be one of the mix CDs I've made through the years, which sometimes stayed in my car's CD player for weeks at a time -- not to mention the time I spent putting them together (which usually ends with at least 1-2 complete listens from start to finish). But of course those aren't official releases.

(Is it still OK to start a sentence with "actually" as long as you're correcting yourself? )

 

Either Wish You Were Here (Pink Floyd) or Tubular Bells (Mike Oldfield).

 

From one of these ..CSN, Deja Vu, Time Fades Away, Hejira, Rubber Soul, Sgt. Pepper, Hot Rats...

 

Quadrophenia -- The Who (1973)

 

Hard Day’s Night. From age four, 54 years ago. Engraved on the hard drive of my brain. Can listen to it any time I want........

 

Possibly Rubber Soul, Let It Bleed, The Cars s/t, or Royal Scam.

 

It used to be Exile, but now it’s Forever Changes.
