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

Bob Dylan - Highway 61 Revisited, The Clash - London Calling, The Replacements - Let it Be, or The Mekons - Mekons Rock’n’Roll.

 

Metal Machine Music - Lou Reed
Born to Run - Bruce Springsteen
<<<<<<----- August and Everything After

 

Just to expand on this a bit - I work from home and listen to music via headphones while working. I prefer instrumental albums as they don't distract from my thinking. Over the years, "The Pearl" has become my go to work album and I've listened to it start to finish many, many times. I'm always amazed when the last track ends - 40 minutes just flew by.

 

Van Morrison - Astral Weeks

closely followed by:

What's Goin' on
&
A Love Supreme

 

One year I played nothing but Send Me a Lullaby, Queen II and From Elvis in Memphis.

 

Rolling Stones - Exile on Main street
Miles Davis - Kind of Blue

As a teen with about 10 records, I played Led Zeppelin IV and Houses of the Holy a lot.

EOMS and KOB have been on constant rotation for 35 years now.

 

Countless times over the past 35+ years.

 

Hard to say for sure. It could well be Yesterday and Today based on how much I listened to it when I was 4 and it was the second Beatles album I got (and I less often listened to side 2 of my first, Yellow Submarine) and I would play it several time a day - literally thousands of times over the first few years I had it. I would say Yesterday & Today is about up there with my Avatar as my favorite album ever. It got a lot less play once CDs hit and it didnt come out in that format for several decades.

In the CD era the title may well go to Grateful Dead - One From The Vault which is my favorite music to ski to.

Another contender is my own soon to be released album, though with varying track orders and mixes as I choose the ideal way to present it to the public.

 

"Hear and Now" -- Gene and Debbe

 

I would have to divide my life by periods, but probably these would be!
Pink Floyd - Atom Heart Mother
Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon
Rick Wakeman - Journey to the Center of the Earth
Genesis (all)
Marvin Gaye -What's Going On

 

More than likely it is one of two Nick Drake albums, Bryter Layter or Five Leaves Left though I equally love Pink Moon also. Other than those maybe The Beatles Abbey Road and Van Morrison Moondance or Neil Young Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere which have all had periods of years in which they were played to death.

 

probably the live Grateful Dead album referred to as Skullf'...

 

Vince Guaraldi - A Charlie Brown Christmas

 

Throughout my life it would probably be Abbey Road because of all the years I've listened to it. Next up would be The Wall. When this came out for the longest time I couldn't put it on without listening til the end. I remember too many nights when I started the album later than I should've and got to bed way late.

 

The Joshua Tree by U2. Listened to every day for over a year and weekly for a long time after that.

 

The Gun Club - Fire Of Love and Jackson C. Frank's album (on CD, sans bonus tracks). I'm not sure which of the two I've played more.

Next: Radio Birdman - Radios Appear (Overseas Version)


Then, next: AC/DC - Back In Black (even with "Let Me Put My Love Into You" and "Rock and Roll Ain't Noise Pollution")
Joy Division - Unknown Pleasures
Bruce Springsteen - Darkness On The Edge Of Town (though how many times have I skipped over Factory, I wonder)
Dead Boys - Young, Loud and Snotty

I can't list Fun House by The Stooges here, which would be near the top, because I don't always listen to L.A. Blues. Even if it's one of my favorite albums of all time, I've often stopped after the title track.

 

My trifecta:

The Verve - A Storm in Heaven
Day's of The New - Orange
The Black Crowes - The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion

 

This is a tough one... Nick Drake: Pink Moon, Led Zeppelin III, Joni: HEJIRA, with LADIES " " CANYON close behind.
Since I'm the 3rd person to mention NICK Drake already, can someone offer advice on good LP pressings of FIVE LEAVES LEFT,
or BRYTER LAYTER,,,,,

 

Either Revolver or This Year's Model, not sure

 

London Calling.

I would probably have to live another hundred years to play an album more times than I played that one just in high school.

 

The Prison - Michael Nesmith.

43 years and still going as strong as ever!

 

most likely one of the following
muswell hillbillies-the kinks
raw power-iggy and the stooges
after the gold rush-neil young
taking tiger mountain (by strategy)

 

I've mentioned this on similar threads that Thick As A Brick has been a daily play for me since
its release in 1972. It is how I start my day. I'm sure I've missed a day or two along the way,
but there have been days where it was played multiple times. As I do a lot of technical work during
the day (I work from home), I've quite often put TAAB in the player on repeat and let it run most
of the day while I drift in and out while I work.

A quick poke with a calculator puts that easily over 16,000 plays...........

Did I mention that I really like that album???

(I've quoted myself from a similar thread "Songs you could listen to in an infinite loop")

 

Maybe Beatles For Sale or Crime Of The Century.

 

Blood on the Tracks
