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) :-)

there are so many possibilities here - a few that cover ground stylistically:

jazz - duke ellington's small band: queen's suite
rock - richard thompson: shoot out the lights
zydeco - zachary richard: fatras (live in montreal)
rock/mexifolk - los lobos: how will the wolf survive
more rock - don dixon: romeo at julliard
latin dance/pop - kid creole: fresh fruit in foreign places and.....
marshall crenshaw, e, willie nelson, showmen, beatles, etc. etc. etc.

I last posted to this thread almost 5 years ago! Is that possible?

Since that time one cd has definitely gotten the most time - "Out of The Cradle" by Lindsey Buckingham ca. 1992. Has seen almost daily use in my car. Recently Don Dixon and The Jump Rabbits CD as well as Rosann Cash's "The List" are getting quite a bit of vehicular time, too.

At home, Duke Ellington's "Far East Suite" has probably been the "Go To" choice, although Allen Toussaint's "Bright Mississippi" and Alejandro Escovedo's "With These Hands" have both been in heavy rotation, too.

Arnett,

You might want to check this out. I caught this band when they opened for Taj Mahal near my home last year. It's Danny Seraphine's new band and they seem to be targeting that early Chicago sound. When I walked into the show, I was amazed at how much the guitarist sounded like Terry Kath (and I agree that Kath was a very special player).
