Which album have you listened to most in your life?
Dara O'Kearney
Mine in "Low", by David Bowie.
I worked out the other days that I've listened to it over 1500 times.
I know, I need a life ;-)
Paul Robinson
I would have to say, "Astral Weeks" by Van Morrison. Must have been
200 + times in the past 12 years or so.

it would have to be "Zib Zob and his Kib Kob" by The Noseflutes.
Not really, but it looks good in alt.rock-n-roll.classic....

I'm only 22, and have only been listening to albums per se for the last 8
years (before that I was a radio-only guy). But I'd have to say my most
heard album is Creedence Clearwater Revival's superb self-titled debut.
I estimate I've listened to it about 200 times since I first got a
tape 5 years ago.
Runners-up would probably be the Clash's "London Calling", the Stones'
"Exile on Main St.", the Who's "Who's Next", Hendrix's "Are You
Experienced?", the Beatles' "Abbey Road", and CCR's second album, "Bayou
Country".
On the opposite end of the scale, what are the albums you've listened to
LEAST? I'm sure music critics often hear a record only once, but have
you actually bought something and only played it once?
Last year I made a mistake when ordering from Columbia House, and got a CD by
a crappy Canadian '80's band called "Strange Advance". I was too lazy to
exchange it, so I played it once. Now I'm thinking of using it as a frisbee.
A few months later, I didn't send my card back in time, and I got the
selection of the month, John Mellencamp's "Mr Happy-Go-Lucky". I think
I've played it 3 times.
The least-played album I INTENTIONALLY bought was a hits package by
Booker T & the MGs (John Fogerty keeps saying they're the greatest band
in the world, and his word is Scripture to me), but I didn't realize it
was only 1967-72, so the super-groovy "Green Onions" wasn't on it. Too
bad they had no other worthwhile music. I've had the disc two years, and
I MIGHT have played it 4 times. I can only definitely recall twice
(maybe I fell asleep the other times).

A tie between "Moondance" - Van Morrison (oooh....fantabulous) and "The
Lexicon of Love" - ABC.
Went through tapes (totally destroy them), records (wore them out) and
CDs.
Jacq
Andy Harman
Couldn't pick one out of the bunch, but there are a few candidates:
Boston/Boston - played it very heavily when it came out, haven't
played it all the way through in many years thanks to Classic Rock
Overplay Syndrome on the radio.
Beatles/Abbey Road - perhaps the finest compilation in the rock era.
Contains IMO the very best of George (Here Comes the Sun) and John
(She's So Heavy, what a masterpiece) and the very best collaberation
in the long medley on side 2, which John always called "the
leftovers".
Elton John/Goodbye Yellowbrick Road - so many memories. From soft
blues to ballads to funky to electric synth to blistering rock & roll.
This album almost _has_ to be played straight through... unless I just
have an overwhelming urge to pop a set of inferior speakers with
SNARFF, one of the hardest, nastiest rock songs ever, from a guy not
really known for them.
Steely Dan/Aja - long time since I played it but it has many very
dated memories for me. I remember one time - and this was some 7
years ago - hearing the song "Josie" and thinking how *old* it
sounded, with it's dark street sound. And it made me realize how far
I had come since I was the 20-year old kid out trying to make a living
for the first time.
Lynyrd Skynyrd - Street Survivers - their best studio job, many great
songs
Hendrix/Smash Hits - many hot songs, lately my faves are "Fire" and
"Crosstown Traffic". NEVER sounds old.
ZZTop/Tejas - their best album, too bad the CD mix is so badly
botched. "Pan-Am Highway Blues" is the forgotten, neglected track (by
most) on this disc... and "She's a Heartbreaker" is one of the best
singalongs ever, by anyone.
Irish Rovers/Greatest Hits - Contains the #1 drinking song ever
recorded, "Black Velvet Band", and many other wonderful, fun songs.
Sheryl Crow/Sheryl Crow - can't get enough, I'm addicted.
Squirrel Nut Zippers/HOT - ditto
Just thumbing through this list again, I'd guess that Yellowbrick is
probably #1 over a 24-year period; Abbey Road a close second over a
28-year period... and Sheryl Crow solidly third after a mere six
months!
Certain songs get played really hard, but often the rest of the album
is skipped (by me)... but these are the albums that get the most full
play.

I'm fairly sure that the Rezillos live album 'Mission Accomplished But
The Beat Goes On' must be the album I've listened to most since I
bought it in 1979.
Indeed, I only listened to it again the other night.

Funnily enough (since it's my "most listened to" album that I need to hear
at least once a day), it was almost Bowie's "Low". When I got it, I only
had a few early Bowie albums, which I all liked, but Low was so different
from them. It didn't sound like music at all to my ears at the time, more
like intense noise. My reaction to it was so violent, it almost made me
physically sick, and I could only listen to 5-10 minutes at a time. But
there was something darkly compelling about it, so I stuck with it, and
eventually it clicked with me.
Well, I've got CDs as gifts that I've listened to only once, or even not at
all. The recent one I bought and only listened to three or four times
that springs to mind is "Do It Yourself" by The Seahorses (ironically
produced by Tony Visconti, who also co-produced "Low" with Bowie).
Slan libh,
Dara.

Hmmm ... yeah, I can see that. Great album, although I prefer
Broadway Hotel to the title track myself, just for that lilting
chorus.
My most listened to has to be Computerworld by Kraftwerk. Admittedly,
I've only had since '81 to listen but I reckon I must be up into the
900s by now. After that I guess it would be Michael Nesmith's 'And The
Hits...' soon followed by Tribe Called Quest's 'Midnight Marauders.'
All top albums, every single track unskippable. So a hasty top 10
would run thusly:
Kraftwerk : Computerworld
Nesmith : And the Hits Just Keep On Comin'
Beatles : Sgt. Pepper
BDP : Edutainment
Tribe Called Quest : Midnight Marauders
My Bloody Valentine : Isn't Anything
Felt : Pictorial Jackson Review
Depeche Mode : Black Celebration
Devo : Freedom Of Choice
B-52s : Whammy!

Ooh, a top ten most listened to!
In no particular order
Rezillos - Mission Accomplished But The Beat Goes On
( Apalling sound qaulity but summed up for me what punk/new wave was
all about. )
Siouxsie & The Banshees - Juju
Beatles - Singles 63-66 ( Pop at it's simplest yet it's best. )
XTC - Singles ( The most underrated Brit band of all time. )
B52s - Cosmic Thing ( Don Was finally gave the B52s the sound they had
been striving for all along. )
Queen - Any album. ( An odd choice amongst the more newwavish tastes
but Queen always trod their own path and they are, I think, the 'only'
band to have a hit single from 'every' album in a career over 20
years. The Stones, Quo etc never managed that.
The Smiths - The Queen Is Dead
Undertones - Singles ( see Beatles )
Pink Floyd - Animals
Dave Stewart and Barbara Gaskin - Spin/The Big Idea ( I've probably
listened to these in equal proportions.
I should also add that I have listened to the Prodigys 'Jilted
Generation' sevearl hundred times through my living room ceiling since
my son bought it! :-)
BTW, Jyoti, they were talking about you on Talk Radio UK the other
day.

I would have to say my most listened to album would be Reo Speedwagon's Hi
Infidelity. I don't know if many of you have heard of Reo, but they're
from my home town.

In the sixties, albums were albums and singles were singles. With a
few exceptions bands did not try to have hit singles on the LP's.
That is why the following albums have no hit singles even thought the
band had a current hit that was not on the LP.
Stones - Between the Buttons (UK) did not contain "Lets Spend the
Night together / Ruby Tuesday
Stones - Aftermath (UK) did not contain "Paint It black"
Beatles - Rubber Soul - did not contain We can work it out / Day

Beatles For Sale - did not contain "I feel Fine"
And many more.......

Wot ? You mean you didn't like the classic "Bite Yer Lip (Get Up And Dance)" -
I auto-repeated that track for hours when I got the CD :-) Annoyed that the
double vinyl album was reduced to a single CD *with tracks removed from the
CD release*, despite the CD playing time being sub-75 mins if I remember
correctly (CDs can go up to 81 mins of course).

I had to review Northern Uproar's "Yesterday Tomorrow Today". I think
I listened to the first three tracks and then threw it into my music
bin - stuff so average or poor it's going to the nearest 2nd hand record
dealer real soon now.
As for most listened album, it would probably be "Casual Sex In The
Cineplex" by the Sultans of Ping. I think I went two years with pretty
well nothing else in my walkman. I don't listen to it as much now, but
I think that intensive spate of Pingdom back in the early 90's probably
makes it the album I've listened to most. Recently my most listened
to album has been Finley Quaye - fabby. That, and Nick Drake's "Bryter
Layter" and Jimi Hendrix's "Axis Bold As Love". Lovely.

I agree with you on Deep Purple - In Rock, and Golden Earring - Moontan,
two performances that were big influences on my musical tastes. I don't
know what album I have listened to the most, but it would have to be from
among the following:
Golden Earring - Moontan. I never get tired of the way this one just seems
to flow seemlessly.
Trapeze - Medusa. Early hard rock at its best.
Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath. Haunting, but I always seem to listen
transfixed.
Blue Oyster Cult - Blue Oyster Cult. Love B. Dharma's licks, and those
cool song titles.
Budgie. All of their earlier stuff. Have played em to death. More great
song titles.
Gong - You. The ultimate head trip of the early 70's.
Hawkwind - Doremi Fasol Latido or In Search of Space. More head trips in
the extremo.
Jethro Tull - Aqualung
Led Zeppelin - All of em.
Santana - Santana, Abraxas, and many others. When I go to the church of
guitar, this is the guitar god I worship the most.
Robin Trower - Twice Removed From Yesterday or Bridge of Sighs. I love
playing these on cold gray winter days for some strange reason. James
Dewar is my favorite blues rock singer.

I've not heard this one yet. How does it match 'Starsailor' or 'Lorca'?

Probably these two in that order:
1. the velvet underground & nico
2. the stooges - fun house
Funnily enough, I don't listen to them that often anymore Ever ytime I do
play them it kind of feels like coming home - they never disappoint me.
It seems like a lot of you like stuff that pre-dates the CD, have you all
replaced your scratched vinyls and tapes by now?

Kate Bush is certainly very influential, IMO, but I can think of a few
others I think that I would say have more influence on current musicians -
the Beatles, the Stones, Bowie, the Stone Roses and Kurt Cobain, to name
but a few.

I love what China Drum did to 'Wuthering Heights'. What do you think
Kate thinks of it?

Oh- my list:
Listen Like Thieves, INXS (rest in peace, Mike)
Nation of Millions, Public Enemy
Unsound Methods, Recoil
Laugh, Terry Hall
ReLoad, Metallica
Colour and Shape, FooFighters
Not as hip as some of y'all, but doin' okay

I would say it very much depends on which artists you're referring to.
Quite obviously most of the current crop of female singer-songwriters have
been profoundly influenced by Kate Bush and Joni Mitchell - more so than by
Bowie, Cobain cs.

True, though I was assuming musicians in general rather than one particular
category, since the original poster didn't restrict it to one category.
I wouldn't underestimate the influence of Cobain on the likes of Alanis
Morrisette and Meredith Brooks either. Or the influence of Bowie on Alanis,
Bjork, Lisa Loeb, Aimee Mann or going back further Madonna and Patti Smith.

What an interesting idea: Bowie's influence on Bjork! Never occurred to me
before. Finally understand why I don't like her ;-)
