Album which you have listened to most?


We all have favourites and we all keep going back to them every now and then. Some maybe permanently lying next to our systems and have been for years.

Is there an album or two or three at the most which gets most of your attention and is played on your system most often? Not necessarily the best sounding but the one which you are emotionally attached to.

I thought I would ask for a single album but to make it easier for all you may name three of them.

If you have have had the album for more than five years, it qualifies for inclusion here.

The reason I decided to post this message is because I am interested in buying something interesting and if there are only ten people responding it means 30 albums for me to be on the lookout for.

Thanks a lot for your input (if you have read this far I know you will post your three albums also) :-)

Yes, Privateparty....you just said what I was thinking.

This thread shows the many variety of tastes out there.

On a similar thread a while ago, 'everyone' mentioned Peter Gabriel's "UP" album. Welllll, I just hadda have it! Bought it....put it in the ole CD player and....YUCK!

Other occasions, did same, and LOVE the music (Steely Dan's latest "2 against Nature")

Well, I guess it just shows to go you different strokes....etc.

Now then, MY personal favorites (for what it's worth)....

1) Finger Paintings by Earl Klugh
2 Parkening Plays Bach by Christopher Parkening
3) Into Dark by Andrew York

These would be 3 to get into if your collection has no classical guitar. Earl Klugh plays with a quartet...Parkening is strictly solo classical guitar that on the Bach album sounds like God himself is guiding his hands....and Andy is the best contemporary writer/performer for classical guitar of our time, performing his own songs and also an interpretation of the Bach Cello Suite. His creation "Sunburst" is worth the price of the CD and has been recorded by the most famous world class guitarists of today.

Enjoy!
Privateparty,

I agree with what you say. I happen to like some artists who are mentioned in this thread hence I may check them out, its worth the risk. OTOH some artists mentioned I cannot stand them so I will certainly disregard them. (By mentioning the artists/albums which I do not like, I may well create confusion which could lead to flame wars, the last thing I would like to do on this board)

I also happen to like many albums but I do not expect others to appreciate as much as I do. We have to respect each others opinion. After all music is about emotions, and if you read my original post I did mention "Not necessarily the best sounding but the one which you are emotionally attached to"

All in all, I find that this thread has a lot to offer. So thank for your valuable input, which is greatly appreciated!
Hey Quad,

I bought 'making music' and also 'primal magic'.... So, you see, these posts do get some action because of what we type.... I would never have know about these otherwise.

Good music.

John
John,

What is your opinion on the track 1 on album "Making Music"?

Your post above in this thread mentioned that you bought Peter Gabrial's "UP" and you simply said "YUCK". As for Making Music and Primal Magic you went ahead and bought them! Why? How did you make up your mind that this audiophool (Quadophile) could be trusted with music recommendation ? I am gald you liked them, otherwise I would surely be in touble! :-)

I have no idea how much of good music is out there that we are missing, I bet what we have is like a drop in the ocean. By sharing good music, we all get to listen more of the variety and I believe that is what we are precisely doing on this thread.

Happy Listening!
