Album which you have listened to most?

We all have favourites and we all keep going back to them every now and then. Some maybe permanently lying next to our systems and have been for years.

Is there an album or two or three at the most which gets most of your attention and is played on your system most often? Not necessarily the best sounding but the one which you are emotionally attached to.

I thought I would ask for a single album but to make it easier for all you may name three of them.

If you have have had the album for more than five years, it qualifies for inclusion here.

The reason I decided to post this message is because I am interested in buying something interesting and if there are only ten people responding it means 30 albums for me to be on the lookout for.

Thanks a lot for your input (if you have read this far I know you will post your three albums also) :-)

I used to have the Buff Spring album, and saw them in Denver back in '68, along with the Strawberry Alarm Clock ...

There is one CD that still rings my bell ... Chris Potter's "Follow the Red Line" ... there's an awful lot of fine music out there, but with this CD I always wonder why I wasted my life doing what I do ... for the effort/music on that CD are spellbinding.

1-If you don't know Charlie Hunter, try "Earth Tones" ... and start with cut 2, "What I Am" ... musicianship beyond compare
2-Dave Douglas ... I still vote for "Keystone," but find that I'm playing "Spark of Being" with regularity
3-Donny McCaslin ... "Soar" and "In Pursuit" ... essentials and "to die for"
4-Manu Katché ... "Third Round" ... buy it and find out why it was the only decision to make
5-Chris Potter ... if I get only one, I'm going with "Follow the Red Line" and it will remain my favorite CD of all time
6-Dominic Frasca's "Deviations" ... buy it! End of story.
7-Natalie Merchant's "Leave Your Sleep" ... a vocalist without equal; she needs to marry me
8-Elton John/Leon Russell's "The Union" ... better than EJ's TV appearances suggested

I've got so many others, but I'm very enthused by these at the moment, and in some cases I've been enthused for several years. Potter is the sax man, though McCaslin is "almost" without equal.
