What albums have you played the most ? - SteveO - 18-06-2011
I know I have 5 that I constantly go back to since I have had the albums in vinyl (now CDs) since 1969 up to 1979 so I've had plenty of listens to the following listed in order of most listens to lesser listens. I have over 2100 records, cassettes and CDs and I have only heard several of them once, several of them partially and a few forgotten ones (out of mind out of sight)...never.
This is a common pedestrian mainstream list but it wasn't so much when they were first released !
I didn't begin to explore other music until 1976 so four of these albums were already being played to shreds for the past seven years or so.
(1) David Bowie - The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars (1972)
(2) The Beatles - Abbey Road (1969)
(3) The Clash - London Calling (1979)
(4) Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin II (1969)
(5) The Who - Who's Next (1971)
Gee they're all Brits ????

you guys lists are great
wish I could contribute more, but my listening habits do not run like that currently
once I play something it's off the board for awhile
back in the late 60's, early 70's I remember these getting a lot of play:
Beatles - Sgt. Pepper and Abbey Road
Stones - whatever
Kinks - whatever
imagine that, all brits

Mine would have to include pretty much all of the Pink Floyd/Waters catalog, plus:
Led Zeppelin - II, & IV
Dire Straits - Love Over Gold
Yes - Close to The Edge, & Fragile
Kate Bush - Never Forever, & The Hounds of Love
Grateful Dead - Reckoning
Supertramp - Brother Where You Bound ?
Queen - Sheer Heart Attack
Black Sabbath - Technical Ecstacy
The Eagles - Hotel California
The Enid - In The Region of The Summer Stars, & Aerie Faerie Nonsense
Alan Parsons Project - Eye in The Sky
Brian Eno & David Byrne - My Life in The Bush of Ghosts
Genesis - Seconds Out
Yello - Stella, & One Second
Jean Michel Jarre - Houston/Lyons, & Revolutions
Lou Reed - Transformer
Hawkwind - Quark, Strangeness, & Charm
Bob Dylan - At Budokan
The Cure - Disintegration
Sex Pistols - Never Mind The Bollocks
David Bowie - Stage
Roy Harper & Jimmy Page - Whatever Happened to Jugula ?
The Band - The Last Waltz
Al Stewart - Time Passages
Steve Hackett - Defector
Barclay James Harvest - Octoberon
Peter Gabriel - I (Car), & III (Melt)
Van Morrison - Moondance
All of the above have been good companions for many years, and most have been vinyl copies which have been worn out, with many replaced with CD.
Much like Ed, I now studiously avoid overplaying albums, so most of them belong to the fairly distant past.
Good thread, Steve...
