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) :-)

I'm kind of ashamed to admit this but Cliff Richard's first album, simply titled "Cliff" and recorded live in front of 200 screaming girls at the Abbey Road Studios back on February 9, 1959, has been played more than thousand times and everytime I need a real rockin' roll fix -- this at full blast!
lets keep this alive....

- Pink Floyd - The Wall
- Tom Waits - Rain Dog
- Love and Rockets - Express
- J.M.Jarre - Oxygene and Equinoxe
Genesis - Selling England By The Pound
The Moody Blues - To Our Children's Children's Children, Seventh Sojourn

"A Nod and a Wink"/"Stationary Traveller" by Camel
"Somewhere Deep in the Night" by Swing Out Sister
"Larks Tongues in Aspic", et al, by King Crimson
"Aerial", et al, by Kate Bush
"Ashes Are Burning"/"Prologue", et al by Renaissance

e.g. If you've not heard them before, try this by Clannad....a touching love song, sung alternately in English & Gaelic....perfectly measured performance by Mhaire Brennan.

"A Nod & a Wink" should be subtitled, "Ruminations on a Theme of Youth and Old Age". Andy Latimer, in his 50s playing guitar & flute like a demon. Doesn't get any better than this but takes at least 6 replays to get your head around it. Like "Aerial" and "Somewhere Deep" it's a grower so don't expect instant results but the long term reward is great.

Enjoy
