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) :-)

The Allman Brothers Band At The Fillmore East.
I've worn out 2 lps, have it on CD, recorded it on cassette + CD, 200gram vinyl + SACD(even more incredible on these formats).

Brahms First Symphony, Herbert von Karajan conducting the Berlin Philharmonic, DGG 1963. This is available in CD and vinyl, with the CD transferred from the original '64 analog mastertapes, I believe. The sonic quality of this redbook CD is among the best, and the performance is wonderfully grand and autumnal. Von Karajan at his best. After all the major and minor inticacies of Brahms' orchestral palette have been expressed, when the melody of the 4th movement finally arrives, it is majestic and sweeping.

Nothing to do with sonics, just music that i like to listen to. Best on vinyl, but then again, most things are : ) Sean

1) Pink Flag by Wire. My favourite band and my favourite album. Relatively stripped down garage-core punk combined with a small amount of pop and a hint of the twisted tone-poems to come in the not so distant future. If you want to check out Wire, you HAVE to listen to them in order of their releases i.e. Pink Flag, then Chairs Missing and then 154. Othewise, nothing makes sense.

2A) Singles Going Steady 2B) A Different Kind of Tension Both by The Buzzcocks and equally great in different ways. The originators of harmonious pop / punk. Punk enough for those that like to hang out in the streets, talk shit and drink beer and "pop" enough for those that like to sing along with the radio. The perfect example of "the commercial underground sound".

3) Reign in Blood by Slayer. For those who know, nothing more needs to be said. You'll understand. PS... If you like this one, check out Massacre's "Beyond Reality". Another jam that flows from tune to tune with a heavy Slayer influence.
