Always There Albums......

Recommended Posts

I’ve previously stated my one album that is always there, but there are others that are on my very underpopulated iPhone or are listened to:

Ah Via Musicom - Eric Johnson

To The Bone - Steven Wilson 

Continuum - John Mayer

Rush’s 1980s output

Us - Peter Gabriel

@ead, @TrevorR makes a good point!

OK then, and thanks for the moral support :)  My 5 most listened to are probably:

Dark Side of the Moon

Fragile

Selling England by the Pound

Fear of a Blank Planet (Porcupine Tree)

The Road (Hundred Seventy Split)

I have 100 or more CDs on the shelf above my stereo in my 'music room' (smallest bedroom/box room) and they are all Grateful Dead, mostly live recordings. In fact most are 2 or 3 disc live shows. A few are 20+ disc box sets. I have most of them of them in my iTunes library as well.

So whatever I listen to, it will be the Dead, unless it's a gig or rehearsal recording of the band I play in, which plays nothing but the Dead. 

I just hope they're all pre-mid '72, before Pig left and what happened next......*runs and hides* 🙈

Not all of them are pre '72 - there are some great shows from 73 as well! I like the looser feel of the one drummer era when Mickey quit for a while, lot more space in the music. But playing with two drummers is great!

The Cult "Dreamtime"

Joy Division "Closer"

All About Eve debut album

Fields Of The Nephilim "The Nephilim" (specifically side 2 for those who can remember when a disc had tunes on both sides :-) )

I don't have any. I rotate, I can listen an album for weeks (or months) and then forget it for years

The ones that tend to resurface more often lately are Today Is The Day. Favourite albums for (self) loathing and feeling like s**t.

Chameleons: Script of the Bridge, 

Lords Of The New Church: Killer Lords

Stiff Little Fingers: Inflammable Material

Would be my big three I guess and, with the exception of Lords Of The New Church (because they are long since defunct) the two bands I still see live more than any other!

Suicidal Tendencies - Suicidal For Life

Parliament - Mothership Connection

Jamaaladeen Tacuma - Dreamscape

(Though Dutch progboy's Sky Architect latest cd - "Nomad" has been sneaking in recently)

I will always state Uriah Heep as my favourite band, yet I do not listen to them that often. Mostly cos I know all of the repertoire up until Wake The Sleeper by heart. The later albums are still brilliant, but I am getting older 😁

Some albums I always come back to:

# Joss Stone: Soul Sessions 2

# Warren Haynes: Ashes & Dust 

# Skyclad: The Answer Machine? 

# Joss Stone: Water For Your Soul

# Anouk: Get Her Together

Any of these will inevitably lead to weeks and weeks of repeat play in the car, usually twice a day (1 hour commute 1 way).

I have a similar thing with Frank Turner - love his work, but have played the albums to death - Love, Ire and Song particularly
