    Default Which 5 albums have you played the most?

    Just thought this would be a bit of fun and I have been meaning to do it for awhile.

    Back in my yoof' I couldn't afford to buy as many albums as I do now and during the mid 70's I was paying more than I do now with less money - how upside down is that?
    Its also where every single penny I earned went, either records, gigs or my Afghan coat!
    Anyway, in those days I would play albums constantly when I bought them, time after time after time, whilst memorising the lyrics and pouring over the album covers.
    These days I may only play some albums once, which is ridiculous really but there you go.
    I'm pretty sure this is representative, hard to be totally certain really, but these are the 5 albums I think I have played more than any others in my life - what are yours?

    (in no particular order, but I know for sure that I've played DSOTM more than anything else)

    Pink Floyd - The Dark Side of the Moon
    Black Sabbath - Vol. 4
    Genesis - The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway
    Led Zeppelin - IV
    Supertramp - Crime of the Century








    near misses;
    ELP - Brain Salad Surgery and S/T
    Alice Cooper - Killer
    Deep Purple - Made in Japan
    Bowie - Aladdin Sane
    Fairport - Leige & Leif
    Hendrix - Ladyland
    J.J. Cale - 5
    Crimson - Court
    Cohen - Songs of
    May Blitz - S/T
    Floyd - Meddle
    Stones - Sticky Fingers
    U. Heep - Salisbury
    Yes - Fragile

    Madonna - Madonna
    Dire Straits - Brothers In Arms
    Fleetwood Mac - Tango In The Night
    Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark - Junk Culture
    Human League - Dare!

    But in the last 10 years or so...

    Groove Armada - Vertigo
    Air - Moon Safari
    Zero 7 - Simple Things
    Faithless - Reverance
    Massive Attack - Blue Lines

    In my youth my collection was a lot smaller so I suppose ccertain records got hammered then wheras now the rotation is huge by comparison. So given most miles clocked up in my twenties I would say:

    Led Zeppelin - IV
    Donald Fagen - The Nightfly
    ZZ Top - Eliminator
    The Eagles - Hotel California
    The Stone Roses - S/T
    Current Lash Up:

    TEAC VRDS 701T > Sony TAE1000ESD > Krell KSA50S > JM Labs Focal Electra 926.

    Hmmm... I think for me it would be:

    Lloyd Cole 'Music In a Foreign Language'
    Jethro Tull 'Heavy Horses'
    Genesis 'Selling England by the Pound'
    Yes 'Close to the Edge'
    Camel 'Dust and Dreams'

    I also think these sum up my state of mind perfectly at any one time.
