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) :-)

Consistently interesting thread with some suggestions I have bought myself. I seem to agree with so many of the listings, many of which, would be at the top of my list of likes.

The thread has been going for years. If some of the origonal posters are still on the Gon, it might be interesting for them to repeat their current 3 favourites, to see if they have changed. It is definitely more useful if people stick to 3 suggestions.

Another point I would make, is how different posts are from US residents, I am from the UK. In an interconnected world, you would expect US artists to be as well known in the UK, but so many of the US artists I have never heard of.

'Machine Head' by Deep Purple. I usually skip over it, and go from 'Fireball' to 'Made in Japan.'

I can't name just one. There are several: Cat Stevens' "Tea for the Tillerman"; Bob Dylan's "Blood on the Tracks": Joni Mitchell's "Court and Spark"; James Taylor's "Sweet Baby James"; Jethro Tull's "Thick as a Brick"; and many others. I bet you can guess my age from this list.
