Title: Albums You've Listened to so Many Times You've Lost Count
Post by: frankcapri on February 06, 2009, 12:44:53 PM: I'm constantly on the look out for new albums and new music, so I'm curious
as to what albums you've played the hell out of.

Here's a couple I've spun countless times

The Beatles - The Beatles aka The White Album

I won't say that this is the best Beatles album, but by and large I've listened
to this one constantly for years. I wouldn't say all of the songs are bona-fide
hits, but the sheer vastness of it never bores me :)

Miles Davis - Kind of Blue

Often referred to as the best jazz album of all time, I don't know if I'd agree with
that, but my fondness for this album hasn't changed since the first time I heard
it. With Miles Davis, Cannonball Adderley, John Coltrane, and Bill Evans all in
their prime doing what they do best, even if you don't like jazz all that mush,
this album is more than worth having in your collection.

There are plenty of other albums I could post here, but I wanna know what tickles your fancy :)

?nima by TOOL

I could go on for awhile actually... :-\

We should get together and have a party sometime 8)

I love the Clash, but I've never given Sandinista! much of a fair
shake. Maybe this weekend, I'll dust off the turn table and give it a go :)

It's not great all the way through but it has some very bright spots - and it opens with The Magnificent Seven which just bless'ed grooves...

Title: Re: Albums You've Listened to so Many Times You've Lost Count
Post by: frankcapri on February 06, 2009, 05:23:44 PM: The last song on Damned, Damned, Damned is actually a Stooges song.
They're considered by many as a big influence on early Punk; I don't think you'll be disappointed.
Just make sure you crank the volume when you listen to them ;)
Title: Re: Albums You've Listened to so Many Times You've Lost Count
Post by: Santafer on February 07, 2009, 01:24:39 AM: I think i never finish an album, sometimes some songs just don't impress me in the first minute or so, and I keep listening to the same 3 songs.

But I guess Master of Puppets.
Title: Re: Albums You've Listened to so Many Times You've Lost Count

you can't remember how many times you've played them?
