What are the Top 5 albums you've listened to the most?

[FuzzyAce]

What are the top 5 in order. Now... I mean FULL albums you've just pushed play and let them roll in their entirety.
I'm guessing most of these will be from our younger days when we didn't have all the streaming we have now.

Please be honest, no album is too silly to list either.
And if you have a tie between albums, just list them together in either 1-5 ranking. Basically, you can list more than 5 albums if needed.

I'm still compiling my list, but post away if you know for sure!

 

[TravisG406]

Seven Mary Three - Day and Night Driving
Matchbox Twenty - More Than You Think You Are
Collective Soul - Dosage
Five Iron Frenzy - Five Iron Frenzy II Electric Boogaloo
Alter Bridge - Blackbird

 

[FuzzyAce]

I updated the OP. Only 5 listed, total.

 

[FuzzyAce]

Pretty sure this is accurate. Most of the listening was done in the 90's. There are a lot of really close ones that didn't make it, but just too many to list. Many of those were instrumentals, fusion or classical based too... and a few thrash.

1. Matthew Sweet - Girlfriend
2. Big Head Todd & The Monsters - Sister Sweetly
3. Ian Moore - Ian Moore
4. Joe Satriani - Flying in a Blue Dream
5. Peter Gabriel - So


Just missed the top 5:
Steve Vai - Passion & Warfare
Eric Johnson - Ah Via Musicom
Hendrix - Electric Ladyland
Hendrix - Axis: Bold As Love
Big Head Todd & The Monsters - Strategem

oh damn.

guessing id say

bill evans trio live at the village vanguard

miles davis at the blackhawk

songs: ohia didnt it rain

magnolia electric sojourner

bauhaus 79-83


those are my best guess though- theres always only full albums on here!

The first two albums by The Sundays (Reading, Writing, Arithmetic / Blind) are absolutely my 1/2 as I had them on either side of a cassette and would just let it play on a loop. Pianoscapes by Michael Jones would probably be #3.

After that, I’m unsure. I’ve certainly gone through phases of artist/album obsession and listened to them constantly but I don’t know how that has equated to “all time” numbers.

Pretty clear on this..... and hasn't changed since this was a thing on FB 10 years ago.

Peter Gabriel ~~~ So
Miles Davis ~~~ Kind Of Blue
Jeff Buckley ~~~ Grace
Fleetwood Mac ~~~ Rumors
Pink Floyd ~~ Dark Side Of The Moon

I've always been more attracted to killer songs, arrangements, and great production than
guitar histrionics. The weedly-weedles can only hold my attention for so long and then....

Dang, I knew I would blank and forget something. Getting old sucks sometimes.
"So" would be in my top 5 too.

I think that's true for most people. The only reason I have a few instrumentals in the top spots is because I listened to those when I began guitar. I ate that stuff up. Honestly, all of Joe's albums up to Engines of Creation could fit in my top 25.

And to be clear, this thread is not about "most liked".

 

[Tenebris]

Mastodon - Remission
Bell Witch - Longing
ISIS - Oceanic
Amon Amarth - Versus the World (lifts bro also this is the best all round AA album fight me)
Neurosis - Times of Grace

I still listen to music more than I watch TV. First thing I do in the morning is put on something
to start the day with. Sometimes Metal. Sometimes Miles. Sometimes Chopin. Sometimes Albert King.

It's really a Mine you can not exhaust or get to the bottom of. Just dig on and enjoy the Splendid Nature of Sound(s).

To be clear. I "got that."

The Sundays were great. I'll listen to R,W and A every so often. I still have a cassette of it.

Good. I have to make sure with you.

I used to swap pedals with Matthew in the 2000s/2010s. John Fogerty and his son, too.

Back before Reverb was a thing.

Matthew was/is a super gear nerdy nerd. Great guy.

Dang, I knew I would blank and forget something. Getting old sucks sometimes.
"So" would be in my top 5 too.

That Album might be my Number 1 of all time. It is timeless, and will sound majestic and amazing in 100 years.

Very cool! Tbh, I started this thread because of him/his album Girlfriend. I recently download a new copy for my phone. So many memories, good and bad. I was young, there was love, heartbreak, and that album connected with me on numerous levels. I can hum every melody, every guitar lick, everything note for not. That album is thoroughly ingrained into my brain.
So naturally, it was an easy number 1 listened to for me.

Definitely a favorite. As a production, it's certainly a point of reference (whether conscious or not), of how I want recordings to sound.

All great albums, although I've not listened to DT's albums. I know, I know, shame on me.

I've listened to Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin albums a ton, they just have a so many great ones to choose from.
