Most listened-to album upon purchase/discovery

[FunkyMonkey]

Two stick out for me: Myabe 3. And funnily enough they don't necessarily reflect my taste of music. Or maybe they do. Hmmm.

1. Paolo Nutini - Sunny Side Up - an eclectic album full of grooves and each song completely differnet to the last. So very listenable.

2. Missy Elliot - So Addicitive - yes, it was

3. Rolling Stones - Hot Rocks - Some of their best tracks from the pre-psychedelic years

Iced Earth - The Glorious Burden. Actually it's The Gettysburg Trilogy at the end, effectively 1 track split in 3. It weighs in at 32 minutes for The Devil To Pay - Hold At All Costs - High water Mark. Hopefully BlackSabbath25 will give it a listen.

Led Zeppelin - For Badgeholders Only. OK, it's a bootleg recording but probably the greatest rock concert ever.

 

[Blacksabbath25]

Ozzy Osbourne the Randy roads Tribute album it’s a excellent live album

Black sabbath first album

Metallica justice for all album & the black album

Porcupine Tree - In Absentia, it's currently living in my car cd player.

I was never keen on that one but played Fear of a Blank Planet to death when I got it.

 

[Alantiggger]

I think over all the years (now 53 yrs old) it was probably 'Celebration' by Simple Minds.

Porcupine Tree - In Absentia, it's currently living in my car cd player.

Love that period PT. It started to go downhill for me with Fear Of A Dead Planet.

Going way back in time, when I bought The Groundhogs Split LP I played it incessently ( it did help that I only had about 3 other LPs at that time

)

3. Dire Straits: Brothers in Arms (predictably)!

Predictable maybe, but a great album nonetheless, one I still love listening too.

Loads of other great choices there too *good*

 

[Diamond Joe]

P.s. to Paulq and DIB, I was verrry late finding PT, despite my cousin tipping me off many years ago, one of my better "discoveries" of the past few years. I'm just starting to explore Blackfield and Steven Wilson's solo work, he's a prolific chap I think he's recently remixed one of my favourite albums by Marillion: Brave.

 

[hybridauth_Facebook_100004211376004]

Porcupine trees......warszawa is one of my favourite live albums....a fantastic recording.

Indeed. I play that one a lot.

... talking of great live albums and Steven Wilson, grab a listen to Blackfield's Live in NYC. I think it's a sublime live recording.
