Which album have you played the most in your entire life?

I realize the last one seems a bit incongruous, but my sister brought that record home very early on, and we still play it quite a bit to this day (though we are now, of course, in different homes). Thus, it might edge out later albums that get lots of airplay like Singles Going Steady by the Buzzcocks, Funhouse by the Stooges and/or anything/everything by Killing Joke.

Discounting that one, and going with the record I probably listened to the most by choice: Entertainment!

steve reich "music for 18 musicians"

that's why i can't stop overdubbing marimbas.

Perhaps I should lighten up a bit. :-(

And then probably "Loveless" and "Isn't anything" by MBV, couldn't say which I've played more so I'll say both.

I started keeping track of every record I listened to back in Oct. 96 and only 'Funhouse' is very high on this list. I used to listen to 'Raw Power' more, but during my own personal drug era 'Funhouse' was pretty much the soundtrack, so combined with listens in the past few years, it is probably the winner.

Heh, were I born some fifteen years later, instead the above three there would probably be Loveless, Fear Of A Black Planet and Pills'N'Thrills and Bellyaches...

Paperclip People - The Secret Tapes Of Dr. Eich
B-52's - Cosmic Thing
INXS - Kick

i virtually had it on a loop for about 6 months and i still listen to it every week probably

High School Joy Division fans are a special breed. There are very few casual fans that young; if you liked JD when you were young chances are you were a violent fanatic. Imagine me at 16 and another kid at school told me that his favorite album was Siamese Dream or Ten or Superunknown; it was almost my sworn duty to let him know what kind of gigantic asshole he was for not being down with the unassailable majesty that is known by mortals as Joy Division. What kind of idiot would be listening to Stone Temple Pilots when they could be listening to JD instead?

The only other album at the time that had the same kind of violent cult following was Loveless, and I was one of about 5 kids in school who knew about it. I have listened to Loveless a whole lot, but not nearly as much as Still, especially the live half.

(and if you think I'm bad now...)

As for the record I've consciously listened to the most... maybe Pink Flag or There Was an Elk or Savoir Faire or News for Lulu?

or
Devo Live @ the Warfield Theatre which i taped off the radio and then wore out in my late teens

or the Beatles' Blue Album, particularly 'Strawberry Fields' and 'I am the Walrus' -- a mid teenage fascination, and music i still think is extraordinary

the most more-ish musical experience i think i have experienced as an adult -- i've listened to these two 17 minute pieces hundreds of times, worn out two cds, lost three more copies having lent them to people who haven't returned them and still lent it to many more people (it seems to both introduce and help people understand so-called free jazz better than anything else i know of)

once while it was on loan to a friend i had to visit duane and listen to his copy -- i had to have it, had to get that experience again -- i remember him watching me jump around to it and saying "phew" at the end of part one, only for me to then put one part two

of course the rest of that album presents beautiful variations on the themes in No. 11 and vice versa -- i cannot recommend any musical recording more -- in fact, thinking about it, i'm gong to have to listen to it again right now

high school- either Angst by KMFDM or Concentration by Machines of Loving Grace

After that- Chameleons' "What does anything mean basically," inxs "shabooh shoobah" or Sisters of Mercy "Floodland"

100's of times, a couple worn out copies each.

So, when I first put GUIP on, I was stunned. I had never anything quite so awful in my life. It wasn't bad in a fun way, either, like "Sally Can't Dance," or "Metal Machine Music." It was just dull and boring and awful, full of klunky arrangements and embarrassing lyrics. And that voice! What happened to the voice? It must be me, I thought. It's a Lou Reed album! It must be good. I'm just not getting it. I'm listening hard enough. So I listened again. And again, and again. It stayed on my turntable for months. And it never got any better.

I still hate that fucking album.

Stone Roses S/T

Though a close second would be Cake from the Trash Can Sinatras.

It's spooky when sometimes whole chunks of lyrics bubble up in my conscious mind now, with no music playing, as while i'm a lyric lover, i have no longterm memory when it comes to lyrics, only remembering fragments of phrases when the actual song is played for most music.

It's also hard to believe that the single "Fear Loves This Place" was in heavy rotation on the new megawatt alternative station back then.

An acquaintance on another forum started a thread asking for the "Top ten albums you have listened to most in your life". This is actually really difficult; there's stuff from my teenage years and before that I listened to over and over and over again because I didn't have much music, and then haven't listened to much at all in the last 15 years. Then there's default stuff I just "put on" a lot in the background... I don't think any list I'd make would be even 50% accurate just because of the vagaries of memory. I suspect the following have all been listened to an awful lot, though...

The Stone Roses - The Stone Roses
The Stone Roses - Turns Into Stone
Guns N Roses - Appetite For Destruction
The Cult - Electric
The Verve - A Northern Soul
Brian Eno - Another Green World
Orbital - In Sides
Primal Scream - Screamadelica
Marillion - Misplaced Childhood
The Beatles - Magical Mystery Tour

I wore out my Nirvana cassettes when I was a teenager through listening to them round and round, pretty much non-stop. I had a period of a few months when I was feeling very maudlin when I listened to nothing but Unplugged over and over. Still never got bored of it.

This has just been a consistent heavy player that's just acrued more and more listens over the years:

Spiritualized - Laser Guided Melodies

Probably Thriller or Neil Young's Decade.

The Chameleons - What Does Anything Mean? Basically

I bought this as a mopey teenager pretty much on the day it came out. I played the shit out of it then, and I've kept on listening to it in regular heavy and indulgent splurges subsequently (i.e. for the last -yikes- 24 years). I think it's my musical comfort blanket or something.

Likely candidates:

JAMC - Automatic
Stones - Exile on Main St.
UGK - Underground Kingz
Swervedriver - Mezcal Head
Mazzy Star - She Hangs Brightly
Beastie Boys - Licensed to Ill
John Lee Hooker - Best of (Rhino)
Metallica - Master of Puppets
MBV - Loveless
Gn'R - Appetite For Destruction

Probably "Colour By Numbers" by Culture Club. Because when I was a fan in the 80s, I had much more of a tendency to play the same albums over and over than I do now.

It's a toss-up between Yes Close To The Edge and the first four Kevin Ayers albums.

Sgt Pepper - Beatles
Jesus of Cool - Nick Lowe
Marquee Moon - Television
Metal Box - PIL
Chairs Missing - Wire
PsychoCandy - Jesus & Mary Chain
Loveless - My Bloody Valentine
Black Monk Time - The Monks
Mutantes (2nd album)
Satanic Majesties - Stones

Loads more, but these come to mind.

Probably one of the following:

10,000 Maniacs - In My Tribe
Al Stewart - Past, Present and Future
Tubeway Army - Replicas
Van der Graaf Generator - Still Life
Kraftwerk - The Man Machine

The Beach Boys - Sunflower

Oh man, this is impossible. Maybe John Cale, "Paris 1919"?

The Legendary Pink Dots - Under Triple Moons

narrowly outflanking

Gary Numan - Dance

Ramones, "Ramones"... possibly

also:

Kraftwerk, Autobahn and K1 and 2.

I have no idea. I wish I knew. I tend not to cane any records, especially the ones I think are great. That way they still sound fresh when I do dig them out again.

Horse Rotorvator, Floodland, Wrong.

What is Wrong?

Stuff that obsessed me back in the day, when I could listen to an album over and over:

David Bowie - Low and Heroes
The Feelies - Crazy rhythms
Thin White Rope - Moonhead
The Cure - Faith
Marc Almond - Mother fist
Echo & the Bunnymen - Ocean rain
everything by the Velvet Underground

I spent weeks listening only to side b of Closer by Joy Division.

The Nomeansno album, sorry. Xpost

It's kinda hard to think what it could be, as my tastes have changed so much throughout the years. The first album to come to mind is The Secret Tapes Dr. Eich by Paperclip People. I bought it about 12 years ago, had already listened to PP's singles a lot before that (I first heard "Throw" in 1994), played it regularly for a couple of years, and I still return to it at least once a year.

Something from the days when I had very few albums. 'Substance' by New Order was the only thing I remember owning for a couple of years, so maybe that. I had 'Meat Is Murder' on loan from the library forever too. 'The Stone Roses' and 'Electronic' thereafter - the latter has pulled off the rare trick of making it back onto rotation in the last few weeks, so I'll say that. Bit of a Mancunian theme all round.

My best three guesses are:

Appetite for Destruction - G'N'R
American Beauty - Grateful Dead
Live & Cuddly - Nomeansno

It seems like I've probably heard Appetite more, but a lot of that might just be due to its ubiquity and hearing other people playing it as well (i.e. not always my choice).

Likely candidate is probably Plastic Surgery Disasters by Dead Kennedys.

That or possibly George Best by the Wedding Present.

my answer is always the same. the ten vinyl records of keith jarrett's "sun bear concerts". sapporo and tokyo probably more than a hundred times. the other three concerts maybe around 50 times.

Probably (from youngest first listen to oldest):
The Corries - The Corries Collection
Faith No More - Angel Dust
Snoop Doggy Dogg - Doggystyle
Beastie Boys - Ill Communication
Selected Ambient Works 85-92 - Aphex Twin
Susumu Yokota - Sakura
Magnetic Fields - Charm of the Highway Strip
David Bowie - Station to Station
Richard & Linda Thompson - I Want to See the Bright Lights Tonight
Pantha du Prince - This Bliss

my answer is always the same. the ten vinyl records of keith jarrett's "sun bear concerts". sapporo and tokyo probably more than a hundred times. the other three concerts maybe around 50 times.

this makes me so happy.

Probably the first Van Halen and The Time's What Time Is It?. Both have been in my collection since the early 80s, and are two f the few albums I've owned in three different formats.

One of these: The Bends, Illmatic, Enter The Wu-Tang, Cuban Linx, In An Aeroplane Over The Sea or 69 Love Songs. Or even possibly All Hail West Texas.

This is a tough one. I'd have to go way back to my vinyl days, when I had very little money and kept records on my turntable for months. Even though I hardly ever listen to it now, I remember playing Sandinista over and over and over again after it first came out.

not really sure. probably 'after the gold rush,' 'abbey road,' 'highway 61.' maybe john fahey's 'transfiguration of blind joe death.' i listened to that just about anytime i got into the car for like a 2 year period. i'd probably say 'amnesiac' too.

I would guess

Judas Priest - British Steel
Iron Maiden - Live After Death

but maybe
Neil Young - Live Rust
Mudhony - Mudhoney
Sonic Youth - Daydream Nation
Rolling Stones - Hot Rocks

Africa Brass and Speaking in Tongues, both were childhood favorites that I still toss on. I used to just slap Africa Brass on repeat when I was tripping, much to the annoyance of my housemates (I wonder if they've come to enjoy it like I've come to enjoy their over-played favorites, Pet Sounds and Selected Ambient Works, which at the time totally raised my hackles because it was like, man, just get another fucking album already…)

New Order - Technique

Soft Boys - Underwater Moonlight
Dusty Springfield - Dusty in Memphis
Basement Jaxx - Rooty
The Very Best of Elvis Costello and the Attractions

David Bowie Hunky Dory
Field Mice Skywriting, So Said Kay, Coastal
Kate Bush The Dreaming

Disintegration. Loveless. Painful. Wow those are mopey albums titles...

Top 5 would probably be
Kind of Blue
In a Silent Way
Uncle Meat
Tusk
Double Nickels on the Dime

glad that i could make you happy, j0hn. you could make me happy too if you posted your answer/s. i'd be curious. is your #1 a heavy metal album? and how many metal albums would be in your top ten?

white album

Licensed To Ill probably

it would have to be de fact something I've had since I was at least a teenager, so probably something by the Beatles (Rubber Soul?) or Skylarking or Sex Packets

It would be fascinating to see my albums ranked by number of times I've actually heard them. I really have no idea. It's probably between a few albums from my childhood from when I had far fewer albums to choose from, and then a few top choices of what seemed to be agreeable to women during my busiest dating years of 24-33. So even though Stooges - Funhouse is my all-time favorite rock album, I'd say it's between these:

Van Morrison - Astral Weeks
Charles Mingus - Black Saint & the Sinner Lady
Al Green - I'm Still In Love With You
Tricky - Maxinquaye
ELO - Out of the Blue
Iron Maiden - Piece Of Mind

probably minor threat or nirvana or something

The Clash s/t I think, still.

Nice idea. Challenging to think of. S'gonna be one of these:

Thomas Dolby- The Flat Earth (first thing I consciously called my favorite alb)
Double Nickels, New Day Rising (almost every day on my paper route in high school)
Soul Discharge (almost every day while drawing first few issues of my comic)
Soft Boys 1976-1981 2CD on Ryko (most listenable 2CD retro EVAR)
Discs 1 and 4 of the Citizen Steely Dan box
Boy Child: Scott Walker Retrospective
Perfect From Now On

I pretty much stopped listening this way in 97 or so. Also I'm assuming different performers' versions of classical compositions don't aggregate as one album? Otherwise results above would be v different.

Also yay Marco THIN WHITE ROPE REPRESENT!

glad that i could make you happy, j0hn. you could make me happy too if you posted your answer/s. i'd be curious. is your #1 a heavy metal album? and how many metal albums would be in your top ten?

you know, I don't know. my listening habits have changed so much in the past ten years! I would guess that my #1 would either be Aja or Katy Lied. I would imagine that Master of Reality would be up in the top 5, but I wrote a book about it, so it kind of got a leg up there. being a little long in the tooth, it's hard to distinguish between what I actually used to listen to a lot vs. what left a huge impression but maybe didn't get as many spins as it feels like. The three highest metal bands in this laptop's iTunes playcount are Aura Noir, Mayhem (Ordo ad Chao only), and Mercyful Fate, but that's deceptive, because (for example) the #1 most played song on my iTunes is from a terrible day when I just listened to that song over & over, and I listen to metal vinyl as much/more than digital, etc. my top 3 songs ever played for sheer # of repetitions are probably Stevie Wonder's "Signed, Sealed, Delivered," N.W.A.'s "Gangsta Gangsta," and Eazy=E's "Real Muthaphukkin' G's." the metal albums that have gotten the most play from me are probably power-metal albums like Iron Maiden & fuckin' Nightwish, much to my wife's dismay.

So, any road, boiling it down:

it has to be between Nick Lowe's "Jesus of Cool", The Boo Radley's "Giant Steps" and the JMC's "Psychocandy"...

The "Jesus of cool" got worn out, Giant Steps is on 2 formats and anyway I taped it for the car...

Nah, it has to be Psychocandy, surely.

katy lied? oh that's another steely dan album. there was so much steely dan on the german radio in the seventies that i never bought any album by them. i kind of like them but i never understood how anyone can get obsessed with them.

Has to be one of these:

My Bloody Valentine - Loveless
Stars of the Lid - The Tired Sounds Of...
Smashing Pumpkins - Siamese Dream
Elliott Smith - XO
Arvo Pärt - Für Alina
David Bowie - Low
Velvet Underground & Nico - s/t
The Caretaker - Theoretically Pure Anterograde Amnesia

Must be something I liked a lot in high school. Liscensed to Ill or Rocket to Russia, probably.

Certainly MX-80 Sound, Hard Attack is #1 if we're talking albums wilfully, deliberately played for our own benefit, because I'll cue that one up repeatedly, like vitamins. I'm sure I've listened at least 1000 times over 20 years (why, that's less than one playing per week!)

As for how many times I've heard certain Led Zeppelin or Beatles opuses, figuring I've played 'em hundreds of times myself AND heard others play 'em countless times more...who whows?

hahaha "who KNOWS?"

In the last ten years, it's probably been Wide Awake, the Vulgar Boatmen compilation.

Selected Ambient Works Vol. II because I used to listen to it every night while falling asleep

superchunk, on the mouth
archers of loaf, icky mettle
pink floyd, wish you were here

probably

also

cannonball adderley, mercy mercy mercy
afghan whigs, gentlemen

this thread makes me sad...

answer: i'd like to think it was something by Kiss/Zep/Aerosmith, but it's probably The Wall instead. :?(

Needing to memorize pieces for performances really skews my answer to this; likely the answer is either some random recording of "Der Freischuetz" or "The Rise and Fall of the City of Mahagonny".

Something like:

ZZ Top Rio Grande Mud
Savoy Brown A Step Further
UFO Obsession
Robin Trower Bridge of Sighs
Jimi Hendrix Band of Gypsys
Point Blank
Angry Samoans Inside My Brain

Huh, good question. I think it would probably come down to one of the following:

Bikini Kill The C.D. Version of the First Two Records
Yaz Upstairs at Eric's
Archers of Loaf Icky Mettle
Jesus and Mary Chain Psychocandy
Heavenly The Decline and Fall of Heavenly
The Smiths Hatful of Hollow

I'm pretty sure mine is Joni Mitchell's Blue, or possibly Fleetwood Mac's Rumours. My iTunes claims it's Middle Cyclone, but that's almost certainly because I didn't start keeping track of my plays through iTunes until about a year ago.

x-post Looking through other people's posts it occurs to me that both 3 ft high and Rising and the first Stone Roses would also be possible contenders.

no doubt-- chavez "ride the fader"

In my album listening days:

Talking Heads "Remain in Light"
Eno "Another Green World"
Van "Astral Weeks"

But now everything gets chopped into playlists. Have listened to some Low, Massive Attack, and Clientele lists about as much as anything I've ever had on repeat.

I don't know exactly, but it probably has to be Ziggy Stardust because I played it like every day for years when I was in my teens.

In modern times, probably Mountain Mouton by Konki Duet, because I played it almost every day for the year after my son was born (he liked it).

"Slanted & Enchanted"

It's not even close. It still gets played at least once a month.

it's between another green world, the first four ramones,s/t clash and first two ny dolls. "sister ray" is closing in for most listened to jam, i reckon...

I nearly always fall asleep listening to ambient music or (yes really) stand up comedy albums. Top 3 would probably be:

Harold Budd/Brian Eno - "The Pearl"
Brian Eno - "Ambient 4: On Land"
George Carlin - Any of the '70s albums

When I was young=12-14
Tie between two cassettes that I just played over and over and must be up there:
The Cure "Standing On a Beach"
R.E.M. "Murmur" and "Fables of the Reconstruction" each on a side of a Maxell

Just most played ever:
Drive Like Jehu "Yank Crime"
Neil Young "On the Beach"
Led Zeppelin "Physical Graffiti"
Sonic Youth "Sister"

Last 5 years:
Lambchop "Nixon"
ELO "New World Record"

Hmmm, who is getting old ...

Shit, forgot the album that I have probably listened to most in the last 10 years or so (so, close to most played ever) that never gets old for me:

Manishevitz "Rollover"

I don't listen to it very often but knowing that you picked The Decline and Fall of Heavenly makes me v. happy for some reason.

high school:
VU 1st album
Misfits "Legacy of Brutality"
Pussy Galore "Groovy Hate Fuck"
Spacemen 3 "Perfect Prescription"
Throbbing Gristle "2nd Annual Report"
Coil "Horse Rotorvator"
Meat Beat Manifesto "Storm the Studio"

college:
NWW "Rock n Roll Station"
Aphex Twin "SAWII"
Polygon Window "Surfing on Sine Waves"
Suicide first album
FUSE "Dimension Intrusion"
G*Park "Seismogramm"
MBV "Loveless"

grad school:
NWW "Soliloquy for Lilith"
Rhythm & Sound w Tikiman "Showcase"
Signer "Low Light Dreams"
Cat Power "Moon Pix"
Acetone "s/t"
Bjork "Vespertine" (special case)
Burzum "Filosofem"

employment:
Beherit "Drawing Down the Moon"

alas the pooh soundtrack. thanks to my oldest daughter. hah

"Grievous Angel", Gram 'n Emmylou.

Probably Pulp - Different Class. from the pocket money days when you could only afford a few albums and played them to death.

"Also yay Marco THIN WHITE ROPE REPRESENT!"

TWR will always have a very special place in my heart: I loved the music and Kyser sang the things I couldn't say.

As far as individual SIDES go, I'd guess that I've played Side Two of White Light/White Heat more than anything else.

Honestly speaking? I think it would be Ok Computer. Pretentiously speaking I'd say Ege Bamyasi, Doolitle, A tabua de esmeralda or Loaded. Depends on the season.

I don't like saying OkC it in public because I'm self-concious of how sheepish and boring it sounds nowadays but, I shit you not it was the only album I listened for a whole year and then some. I was very young and naive when I listened to it for the first time and it left a deep mark. It took me years to truly enjoy music again after my experience with that album. Nothing I heard was half as good. And to be honest there hasn't been to date any other album that has made me feel the way Ok Computer has. I suppose I got jaded too quick. Almost 12 years have passed and I've lost hope. I don't think I'll get as much enjoyment from music ever again in my life.
Ok Computer saved and ruined music for me.

I don't listen to it anymore.

rip

Realized this morning that I've played Camper Van Beethoven's Key Lime Pie more than any that I listed above.

I associate that album so much with owning the CD that I haven't listened to it much since I switched to iTunes. It's one of the few albums I ever bought in a longbox.

Yeah, I realized after I posted here that the album I've played most overall isn't any of the ones I listed but is actually "Bewitched" by Luna.

it might be key lime pie for me too. or the misfits' walk among us.

Secret Treaties, Back from Samoa, Velvets 1st. And from when I was younger, maybe Endtroducing, though it hasn't had much play in the past five years or so.

The number of times I've played Lonesome Crow in the past year has probably pushed it up into any kind of personal top 10.

I like those first four albums you mention, but what is Lonesome Crow??

Scorpions!

16 yr old Schenker tearing shit up in search of the PEACE OF MIND

probably Alice Cooper Welcome To My Nightmare

Master of Puppets or ...And Justice For All probably. The only albums I've loved solidly since I was 14.

I'm 99% sure it would be Siamese Dream.

was coming on here to say that it is probably something by Luna, but someone beat me to it! it helps that they are one of the main bands my wife and I see eye to eye on ... we listened to Bewitched yesterday, matter of fact.

I have no idea.

Probably Nothing's Shocking or Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me. I reckon NS might be the one.

Candidates:

Mozart Violin Concertos
King Arthur - Purcell
Porgy and Bess (Armstrong & Fitzgerald)
69: Velvet Underground Live
Kind of Blue
The Queen is Dead
Penthouse
17 Seconds
Sgt Pepper's

Think it could be The Breeders' Last Splash.

69: Velvet Underground Live is probably one for me as well ... I think I've memorized every second of that. If only I could get my guitar to sound like Sterling Morrison's!

The more records you buy the less plays each one seems to get. I guess nobody has records in quite as heavy rotation as they did in their teens when they only own a few, but in recent years Another Green World would certainly be one of my most played. And Tusk. Hoo boy, I love me some Tusk. Don't think a month has gone by in the past couple of years where I haven't listened to them.
When I was around 11-12 I caned Queen's Greatest Hits. Between 13-15 it was Beatles - Revolver and Nirvana's Nevermind. 15, 16: Manic Street Preachers' Holy Bible, OK Computer, VU debut. 16-18: Odelay, Paul's Boutique, Nation of Millions To Hold Us Back, Ritual De Lo Habitual. Then when I went to uni it was Check Your Head, Enter The Wu Tang, Beta Band 3EPs, Mutations, Midnight Marauders, Low End Theory, Hunky Dory (of course!), loads of Nick Drake, Dylan and Neil Young. Last two years of uni, there were certain records that were on constant rotation in the communal area of our house: Leftfield - Leftism, Strokes - Is This It, Talking Heads - Stop Making Sense. Ah nostalgia.

whoa, this made me look at my top 100 list on itunes again, and it has changed drastically since april. fun.

anyway:

High School:
Elliott Smith- XO
Wilco- YHF
DJ Shadow- Endtroducing...
The New Pornographers- Mass Romantic
New Order- Best of...
Tom Waits- Closing Time

College: (this one is chronological in order of appearance, two records per year (also i was in college for five years, basically, so ten records))
Devendra Banhart- Rejoicing in the Hands
Low- When the Curtain Hits the Cast
No-Neck Blues Band- Sticks and Stones...
Gang Gang Dance- God's Money
Excepter- KA
Ricardo Villalobos- The Au Hareme D'Archimede
Aril Brikha- Deeparture in Time
Steely Dan- Gaucho
Echospace- The Coldest Season
Hercules & Love Affair- s/t
any and all Arthur Russell should go here toooo...

since spring of 08:
Omar-S- Side Trakx Volume 1
Moodymann- Det.Riot '67
Miles Davis- Round About Midnight

probably Alice Cooper Welcome To My Nightmare

exactly what I would say...and so I am!...played that record 'til it screamed back in high school, and still listen the CD about once a week, in various playlists of mine...

for elementary school it was definitely Nevermind, Downward Spiral, Live Through This, and the Blue Album.

When I was a little kid, the first Darts album (the first album I ever bought) was on ultra-heavy rotation... but I haven't played it in 30 years.

As a teenager, Psychocandy, Surfer Rosa, Songs About Fucking and Brotherhood got played a mllion times each, but not so much since their heyday.

So it needs to be an album I owned since I was young, that I played to death and still play to this day. As such the only serious contenders would have to be Revolver, White Album, Abbey Road, Blood on the Tracks, Highway 61 Revisited, Blonde On Blonde and American Music Club's California.
