I wore mine out too. That's one of those albums that I knew most of the songs off it before ever hearing it because I grew up hearing the radio always playing like 7 songs from it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue J Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 All right, in my best estimation: Black Crowes- AmoricaGrateful Dead- American BeautyJames Taylor- Mud Slide Slim and the Blue HorizonJoni Mitchell- HejiraRush- Permanent Waves 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue J Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Oh God, I would have no idea what album to even start with. I'm too big of a music nerd to even take a guess at what my list would be. Exactly my thinking too. Good to see you around here again. Likewise, brother, and thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueschica Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 (edited) Wow- this is hard! Taking a guess, no particular order, I think I got it down to six. I was often limited budget wise and listened to a lot of freeform FM radio (no playlist) while it existed. Bruce Springsteen- Born To Run, also The Wild, The Innocent and the E Street ShuffleFleetwood Mac- RumoursThe Who- Who's NextRush- Fly By NightBonnie Raitt- Give It Up ETA: How could I forget the Endless Summer compilation by the Beach Boys? Are these supposed to be non Rush? I could substitute that for Fly By Night . . . Edited June 7, 2019 by blueschica 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjbear05 Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 No particular order: Kick Out the Jams-MC 5The Bob Seger System-The Bob Seger SystemLive at Leeds-The WhoWelcome Back My Friends...-ELP Live at Filmore East-Allmann Bros. Band. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rutlefan Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 (edited) Not counting Rush, in which case ATWAS, Hemi, PeW, MP and ESL might make up my top five, I'd go: Led Zeppelin - Physical GraffitiWire - Change Becomes UsRadiohead - OK ComputerThe Beatles - The BeatlesNirvana - Nevermind Edited June 7, 2019 by Rutlefan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apetersvt Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 All right, in my best estimation: Black Crowes- AmoricaGrateful Dead- American BeautyJames Taylor- Mud Slide Slim and the Blue HorizonJoni Mitchell- HejiraRush- Permanent Waves Probably a Crowes coin toss for me on Amorica vs Warpaint. Ballad In Urgency > Wiser Time has a feel that it was written by someone/something from a higher plain. But I listen to Warpaint so much now. Didn't really become a Crowes fan until 96. So Amorica has 23 years of history vs the 10 years of Warpaints life. Difference might be that I usually listen to the entire Warpaint album, but pick and chose off of Amorica. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apetersvt Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 I wish I had cooler lists...my lists always look so unTRF friendly lmao It would be boring if you had predictable lists. Always great to see fresh opinions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goose Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 I'm pretty sure A Night At The Opera doesn't make the list for me. Many times have a listened to its perfection, but not as many as I've listened to a number of other less perfect releases from my all time favorite band.Live Killers is my top-listened Queen album and may be in my actual top 5. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did listen to Warpaint a bunch, in its first five or six years. But Amorica, from midnight on the day of its release...well, I listened to it three times that night, and never looked back. I’ll say it actually took those first three listens for me to really get it, but then it had its hooks in me, completely. I felt that album literally saved my life, when I was 21-22 years old. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HemiBeers Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 (edited) This is really tricky because there's probably a different five for what my tastes were at the time. Rush was ATWAS, MP, Hemi, PW, PoW. Others that are goto's that cover alot of time: SRV - Live AliveSoundgarden - SuperunknownBlack Crowes - Southern Harmony and Musical CompanionPat Metheny - As Falls Wichita, so falls Wichita FallsRHCP - Blood Sugar Sex Magik I guess this thread can be considered the top 5 albums for being stranded on a desert island list.

Interesting, yeah, I was not thinking about a desert island list at all, but they are similar, they would definitely be good candidates. The problem with desert island lists is how limiting they are. Five is just murder. Ten isn’t any better...and neither is twenty, for that matter...but then fifty, or something, would also take me forever to come up with.

vaportrailer Posted June 8, 2019 Author Share Posted June 8, 2019 Saw this on YouTube the other day and thought it was a good question. I think it's based on a Ricky Gervais tweet or some damn thing. What are the 5 albums that you've listened to the most in your life? Five. F-i-v-e.Not necessarily the best, but the ones that are burned into your brain. :P This is what I came up with: Another Green World - Brian EnoClose to the Edge - YesCheap Trick s/t 1977Help - The BeatlesThe Madcap Laughs - Syd Barrett Have a go! Oops, I guess I should've added "don't agonize over this" And why not include Rush? If the sonic shoe fits...Also feel free to include live albums and greatest hits. Whatever has racked up the most plays in your life thus far. I also wouldn't think of this as a desert island list, although there could be some similarities. The majority of my 5 wouldn't make it to a desert island. Thanks for playing along! It's an interesting question to consider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick N. Backer Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 This is a good question. It's hard to know. So I'll go with 5 that I listened to incessantly right after I first heard them. In order of appearance in my life: Kiss - Alive II The Beatles - Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band UFO - Lights Out Def Leppard - Pyromania Guns N Roses - Appetite for Destruction 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
