Members humancertainty Posted April 12, 2011 Members Share Posted April 12, 2011 Contributing to this list is hard for the reasons that Parker already mentioned. Trying to think of what I've listened to the most in my life is a rather daunting task as I have been listening to music seriously for 28 years. I can say that the first record I ever really listened to was a Beach Boys greatest hits record when I was six and I sat in front of my mom's portable record played and would just flip it over and over for hours. Although in the grand scheme of my life, I'm sure I listened to a lot of other stuff more. I guess that I needed to mention it because, even at that young age, I can still remember how profound the experience was. Let's see..... Huey Lewis and the News-Sports(My first "favorite" band. From age 6 till 12) Suicidal Tendencies-S/T(This record changed my life. The hardest thing I had heard before this was probably Motley Crue. Age 13) Metallica-the first four albums My Dying Bride-As The Flower Withers Napalm Death-Scum Carcass-Necroticism: Descanting the Insalubrious Death-Human Born Against-The Rebel Sound of {censored} and Failure Rorschach-Autopsy His Hero is Gone-Monuments to Thieves Man is the Bastard-D.I.Y.C.D. Eyehategod-Take As Needed for Pain Black Sabbath-S/T Ozzy Osbourne-Diary of a Madman Woody Guthrie-Dust Bowl Ballads Hank Williams-The Complete Hank Williams Merle Haggard-Mama Tried Waylon Jennings-Dreaming My Dreams All off the top of my head, of course. If I read this tomorrow, I'll probably feel compelled to edit it. I tried to remember various points in my life and what I was listening to at the time, per the OP request.

Phil O'Keefe Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 In no particular order, and with lots of extras tossed in, and several ties from the same artist that are too close to call... Beatles - Abbey Road / Revolver / Sgt. Pepper / The White Album / Rubber Soul / Help (Yeah, they pretty much own my top five in terms of number of "plays") Beach Boys - Pet Sounds James Taylor - Greatest Hits Elton John - Goodbye Yellow Brick Road Matthew Sweet - 100% Fun Wings - Band On The Run / Venus & Mars The Cars - The Cars Queen - A Night At The Opera Carole King - Tapestry Stevie Wonder - Talking Book / Innervisions Chicago - Chicago IX / CTA Derek & The Dominoes - Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs The Eagles - Hotel California / On The Border Peter Frampton - Frampton Comes Alive The Pretenders - The Pretenders Sergio Mendes & Brazil '66 - Herb Alpert Presents... Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers - Damn The Torpedoes Fountains Of Wayne - Welcome Interstate Managers Steely Dan - Aja / The Royal Scam U2 - War / Joshua Tree Elvis Costello & The Attractions - Best Of The Allman Brothers Band - At Fillmore East Pink Floyd - DSOTM Jellyfish - Spilt Milk Those are all albums that I've just worn out at one time or another... and I'm sure there are others. It's too hard to say which ones are the top ten in terms of overall plays - like I said, I'd probably have to say mostly Beatles albums, but what are the other two or three records that weren't Beatles albums?

Members chris_d Posted April 12, 2011 Members Share Posted April 12, 2011 that's a fantastic record. still, it's very surprising to see it end up on a list here. i would never have expected it. partly because of what's popular here, but also, even though it's great, i don't think of it as the kind of record that a person ends up listening to in the top ten most played records of my life kind of way. i should give it another spin here. i haven't heard it in years. i bet there's less than ten people who post here who own it. It was a huge drummer-influential record for me. Added to a list of things like the Don Cab stuff, the earlier Coalesce stuff, Slint, Shipping News, silly stuff like Charles Bronson, just records that were really mindblowing to me from a drummer standpoint back then, at a point where i could actually learn stuff from the records, pull some of it off. That was a period of intense drum focus for me. And Dave Witte, is for my money, just THE dude, as far as fast drums are concerned. He does it, the way my brain wants to hear it. I love the earlier DA stuff too, but there was something about the clarity and the pacing of Inalienable Dreamless that really set my brain off when i first heard it. I don't really know what it was, i already was a huge fan of DA by the time i heard it, but i *really* got along with that record in particular.

Members Fender&EHX4ever Posted April 12, 2011 Members Share Posted April 12, 2011 What are your top ten records? Not your favorites based on your taste today ... but based ONLY on how much you have listened to them? I.e. which records have you voluntarily put on the cd/ipod/turntable the most times?

Assuck almost could be on my version of this list. i was just crazy about them in the mid to late 90's. dave witte had it too for sure. DA really stands out among the fast grindy diy bands of that time as far their technical abilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members chris_d Posted April 12, 2011 Members Share Posted April 12, 2011 Oh, and for definite, His Hero Is Gone - Monuments to Thieves should be on my list. Actually, the more i think of it, the more things i remember that really should be on the list. Records that i have destroyed by playing too much(Sebadoh's Smash Your Head..., Portishead's eponymous, The Pixies' Trompe Le Monde, etc)... Records that i have moved from one tape casing to the next as they broke from playing too many times(Agnostic Front's Victim In Pain, DRI's Dirty Rotten Imbeciles, Jerrys Kids Is This My World, Slapshot's Back On The Map, Dinosaur Jr's Dinosaur, etc etc...). Really, ten is just way too short of a list! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
