I love a list, esp a music one, this one triggered by Lola's NYC concert thread...
Was thinking about my "most played" albums. Not my favourite, no particular genre or definiton. Just the albums I've heard most often in my life:
Bridge Over Troubled Water - Simon and Garfunkel
Magical Mystery Tour - The Beatles
Depeche Mode - Violator (or SoFaD can't be sure)
Meat is Murder - The Smiths
Royksöpp - Melody AM
In The Aeroplane Over the Sea - Neutral Milk Hotel
Anyone wanna share theirs? |

"Ed Sheeran playlist I have made up with all of his songs in it.
But he's only been around for 6 or 7 years right? You must play him a lot  "
Yep. Every day without fail. In the car going to work and coming home. If I'm having for a walk I'll have my earphones listening to him. At home every single day. It drives my kids nuts. |

The Liberty Of Norton Folgate (deluxe 22 track version) is my absolute favourite album of all time - One Step Beyond is an awesome debut but not quite as well rounded |

Yeah Appetite is great, but you've reminded me of "Top 5 track one side one". A lot of us have been a shop assistant in Championship Vinyl I should imagine... |

I love how there's a cohesion to this list artistically and then in the middle Listen Without Prejudice screams at you. I loved that album too. My poor nieghbours heard Cowboys and Angels far too often... |

Both brilliant albums but topped by Sound Affects for me. |

Strange Times is pretty much my greatest album of all time especially with the extra tracks version.
And, yes, you're 100% right about Orange Juice. Without them = no Smiths. |

Wow wasn't expecting to see Strange Times, my fave chams record.
And the mighty Orange Juice (they invented the smiths)
Strange Times is pretty much my greatest album of all time especially with the extra tracks version.
And, yes, you're 100% right about Orange Juice. Without them = no Smiths. "
Probably is the greatest along with the Tony fletcher EP |

I bow to your better judgement but I can't hear it. Also John Peel said that with the Smiths it was the first time in a long time he had heard a band and couldn't tell what they're influences were... |

This is a harder question than I'd thought; there are albums I've not heard in years but played over and over for a period of time so they'd still make the list. Favourites of recent years may have been listened to non-stop but are too recently discovered by me to make it. However, if I try not to over think it:
Wonderstuff: Never Loved Elvis
John Coltrane & Johnny Hartman: Originals
Divine Comedy: Short Album About Love
Soundgarden: Badmotorfinger
GnR: Appetite for Destruction
Utah Saints: Utah Saints
Depeche Mode: Violator
Green Day: Cookie
Blur: Parklife
The Clarks: Another Happy Ending |

It's worth a listen for the 9 minute 42 second wonder that is the title track alone that takes you on a journey round London's east end.

Glad you enjoyed - the title track is a stunner - saw them perform it with a full orchestra last summer and it was flipping amazing.
Not sure if you listened to the standard version or the deluxe (which has 22 tracks) but if the standard, see if you can find the deluxe as there are some amazing tracks hidden away on it (One Fine Day and Hunchback Of Torriano to name two) |

I've seen them live many many times - and here's the deal - I'm on one of the little photo me pics on the inner sleeve of their debut album, not saying which one as I wasn't Lisa then and I'll never reveal. Well certainly not on here anyway. But not seen them live since Norton Folgate. I'll listen to the extended version tomorrow x |

Very cool, and I would never ask which one, but a nice thing to show the grandkids all the same - they recently released a book as part of their 40th celebrations, and asked fans to send in pics of them from 40 years ago, which they then used in a similar style to the One Step Beyond inner sleeve as the inner cover of the book.
Veteran of 60+ of their gigs here....like it doesn't show 
Norton Folgate was, for me, their pinnacle, the next album (Oui Oui Si Si Ja Ja Da Da) is good, but not as good, and the last one (Can't Touch Us Now) I've played no more than a handful of times |

I was a little skinhead then in the late 70s with my Harrington jacket etc and a friend of mine knew them from school, think it was called Quinton Kynaston, or something like that (excuse the spelling), so we sent in the pics cos he knew one of them.

I never knew there was a "best of" stone roses. Is that basically their first album but with fools gold, elephant thingy and love spreads? Their first album narrowly missed the cut on my list |

I listen to music so often and have listened to so many different albums it's hard to think of which ones I've listened to the most. I'll think of a few anyway.
Any album by Kate Bush as she's my musical heroine. I've probably played Hounds Of Love and The Dreaming.
David Bowie is my musical hero. I've probably listened to Scary Monsters as a whole the most.
MARINA Froot.
There's an Abba one in the list as I listened to my mum's records when I was a child and I still listen to them now. Probably Voulez Vouz
Nerina Pallot Fires
Siobhan Donaghy - Ghosts

I'm realising I should definitely have added Japan's last three albums onto the list! Mick Kern and David Symbian have always fascinated me. I wish there were men out there today that looked like them circa the 70's and 80's! |

They were very pretty. They lived in the town I grew up in and went to my school. I was too young to have known them. I met Richard Barbieri however, his mum and dad were customers, they had his gold discs up the wall of their stairwell. |

"I love a list, esp a music one, this one triggered by Lola's NYC concert thread...
Was thinking about my "most played" albums. Not my favourite, no particular genre or definiton. Just the albums I've heard most often in my life:
Bridge Over Troubled Water - Simon and Garfunkel
Magical Mystery Tour - The Beatles
Depeche Mode - Violator (or SoFaD can't be sure)
Meat is Murder - The Smiths
Royksöpp - Melody AM
In The Aeroplane Over the Sea - Neutral Milk Hotel
Anyone wanna share theirs?
I’d say my favourite Beatles album would be “the best of the Beatles”... "
One of the greatest put downs ever: I didn't know you were into music. I mean I know you're a DJ but I've heard your show  |

"Ed Sheeran playlist I have made up with all of his songs in it.
But he's only been around for 6 or 7 years right? You must play him a lot "
He has been around for longer than that. I still remember being able to see Ed Sheeran for £10 in Liverpool |

Just checked...1st single 2011. Still seems pretty new to me. But then I'm old... |
