    Top 5 Most Listened-To Albums

    not necessarily your favorite albums, not necessarily the best ones, but the ones you've listened to more than any others in the course of your life. i'm going to actually stick to my own rule and only list 5 (which if you've seen me list things before, you know i have a hard time limiting myself to the exact number).

    telefon tel aviv • fahrenheit fair enough
    pat metheny trio • live
    the cinematic orchestra • every day
    king crimson • USA
    nin • ghosts i-iv

    it's not lost on me that most of these are mostly (or entirely) instrumental. but they're all so good, and i never get tired of them.

    hmmm.. Last.fm is telling me this:

    Tori Amos - A Piano (boxset, so may not count)
    The Cure - Wish
    Tori Amos - Scarlet's Walk
    Placebo - Battle for the Sun
    The Cure - The Top
    Tool - 10,000 Days

    Year Zero, The Downward Spiral, and Tori Amos' Boys for Pele all fall just outside that - those along with The Cure's Disintegration and Depeche Mode's Violator are all albums I would probably put in the actual top 5. It would be interesting to retroactively go back to being a kid in my bedroom and clocking in all those hours of music but alas...

    Circa Survive - The Amulet
    Tool - Fear Inoculum (could be unhealthy)
    NIN - The Trilogy
    Mars Volta - Frances The Mute

    That said mine are probably from my teen years when I only had 20 or so albums and would only listen to those. It would be something like this:
    Mission Impossible 2 ost,
    Bloodhound Gang - Hooray for Boobies
    Kid Rock - The History of Rock
    Die Ärzte - Wir wollen nur deine Seele
    Die Ärzte - 13

    As for more recentish albums I think it's this:
    The Magnetic Fields - 69 Love Songs
    Nine Inch Nails - And All That Could Have Been
    The Knife - Silent Shout
    My Chemical Romance - The Black Parade
    The Black Queen - Fever Daydream

    Well for the last 3-4 years I have been listening to Groupers albums a lot. Seems like I always turn to an album at some point in the day. I think Liz Harris is a pretty amazing woman and artist. She was a sweetheart when I met her to. I would probably say Alien Observer/Dream Loss is maybe my favorite album ever.

    Yah, I'd say Violator and Songs of Faith & Devotion are probably equal in the amount of times I've listened to them.

    I would also say I have constantly listened to the Mandy score since it was released. It’s beautiful.

    i saw pat metheny group right after "the way up" came out. they played the whole album straight through (which makes sense since it's essentially one long suite) and then played for another hour and a half. it was fucking incredible.

    U2 - Achtung Baby
    The Cure - Disintegration
    My Bloody Valentine - Loveless
    Radiohead - In Rainbows
    Coldplay - X&Y

    Impossible to know, but the first four for sure and probably could pick just about any album from the first 3.
    The Fragile - NIN
    Kid A - Radiohead
    Low - David Bowie
    Loveless – My Bloody Valentine
    The following albums it is possible I have listened to these more than the first 4, but there is no way to know for sure.

    Louder Than Bombs – The Smiths
    Return To Cookie Mountain – TVOTR
    Immolate Yourself – Telefon Tel Aviv
    154 – Wire
    Berlin – Lou Reed
    Aphex Twin – Selected Ambient Works Vol II
    Before and After Science – Brian Eno
    The Dandy Warhols Come Down – The Dandy Warhols
    Violator - Depeche Mode
    Check Your Head – Beastie Boys
    Antichrist Super Star – Marilyn Manson
    I could still put on any of these albums right now and enjoy them start to finish
