What album did you listen to most?

[songsmith]

Okay this differs from the "Favorite Album" thread, in that, sometimes you have to listen to something. Case in point: DMFJ has had a collection of Coheed & Cambria playing at the store for over a year. I think I may have logged more hours listening to it than any other record, and that's saying a bunch... I seldom listen to a record twice in a row, but I've listened to Pink Floyd's "The Wall" many, many times. Same with Judas Priest's "British Steel," Rush's "2112," Toto's "Turn Back," and all the early Kiss records.
What record have you listened to the most times, the whole way through?--->JMS

[rickw]

In first place would be Fragile by Yes, followed by Trick of the Tail by Genesis, Abbey Road, The Wall, and of course JMS' own Heck of a Dang. I still haven't heard any other mandolin player like you. Drop C, two active EMG's through a HiWatt stack, and from a mandolin! Dark metal bluegrass rules!

[rickw]

On second thought Johnny, a new genre has been born. Blackgrass

[Merge]

I can't remember the last time I listened to a CD start to finish. I'm either listening to an IPod or the jukebox on my computer, and they are both on shuffle.

[Jim Price]

There is a long list of albums that qualify for the answer to this question for me, but among the most prominent ones are: Queensryche's Operation: Mindcrime, Pink Floyd's Dark Side Of The Moon, Led Zeppelin's fourth album and Houses Of The Holy, Yes' Fragile and Close to the Edge, Porcupine Tree's In Absentia, System Of A Down's self-titled album, Strapping Young Lad's Alien, Nazareth's Hair Of The Dog...See, I told you it's a long list, and that's only part of it!

[BDR]

• Appetite for Destruction — Guns 'N Roses

• Operation Mindcrime — Queensryche

• Thriller — Michael Jackson

• Extreme — Extreme

Gamma - Gamma - Ronnie Montrose killer playing. Taught me a lot

Jeff Beck - There and Back - Many, many spins on the turn table, cassette deck and CD player

Peter Gabriel - So - Different kind of playing, more emotional levels

Robbie Robertson - First solo CD. Over 1000 listens, no problems

Nine Inch Nails - Pretty Hate Machine - At least 5 times a day for years. Still love that disc.

Tool - Undertow - In my mind the combination of NIN, Peter Gabriel and Pink Floyd. Who knows how many spins I've given this.....
