If you had to listen to the same album everyday..

[Paris Garters]

When i was young i used to have some weird obssessive compulsive disorder where I had to carry out little rituals everyday or else I thought bad things would happen to me. One of them was I had to listen to my 7" of The Reflex by Duran Duran every morning before going to school.

Aaaaw!
((((little dj squelch))))

 

[Paris Garters]

The pixies: Doolittle or Surfer Rosa
PJ Harvey: songs from the city, stories from the sea

I've listened to those three about 6 million times already with no ill effects.

I don't often listen to it these days, but Stone Roses: stone roses is a contender too.

 

[Augie March]

Any of the following:

Eels - Electro-Shock Blues
Jeff Buckley - Grace
Sonic Youth - Dirty
Elliott Smith - From A Basement On The Hill
Pavement - Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain
Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Fever To Tell

 

[Dubversion]

god knows, most things would grate eventually. but a handful of albums - Astral Weeks, In An Aeroplane Over The Sea, The Rockingbirds, Forever Changes - have been played so bloody often that a few dozen more times wouldn't knock the shine off 'em

 

[rekil]

London Calling or Zen Arcade.

 

[gentlegreen]

Before the advent of broadband and stations like "Cryosleep" and "Cedarburg Dreamtime", for several years I used to need Global Communication's "76:14" playing on a loop to get through the night.

I try these days to stick to dance mixes on my MP3 player while I commute rather than overplaying the likes of Joni Mitchell as I did in the dim distant past.

 

[Big Jim]

The Isley Brothers' '3+3'.

 

[LDR]

For me it would have to be something classical as I believe that style of music stands up best to repeated listening.

Maybe some Tchaikovsky as he's my favourite composer.

Nothing with a vocal as I'd get sick of hearing the same voice day after day.

 

[saucisson]

I agree that something classical and soothing might be best...chopin's nocturnes prehaps....

but I have also never got bored of 'back in black' and reckon I could handle it just about every day.

 

[sojourner]

There are a lot of albums I play obsessively, but the only one I think I could listen to every day (and actually do as it's the only cd in me car) is Elephant, The White Stripes

surprise!

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

I dunno, maybe Daydream Nation, just because it is so intricate and you always hear new things.

I used to be much more tolerant of repeated plays, indeed I am sure that there was a spell of around 1 and a half years in my teens where I did indeed listen to Nevermind every day, sometimes more than once

 

[stavros]

I'm not sure I would want to do it. My favourite album ever is "Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)" so maybe that, or maybe My Bloody Valentine's "Loveless". Suitably ambient.

 

[Dr. Furface]

Kind of Blue by Miles Davis, or Bitches Brew. Or Movies by Holger Czukay. Or Journey in Satchidananda by Alice Coltrane. Or Endtroducing by DJ Shadow.

 

[k_s]

Exile on main street, or the heart of saturday night by tom waits.

 

[obanite]

Kind of Blue by Miles Davis, or Bitches Brew. Or Movies by Holger Czukay. Or Journey in Satchidananda by Alice Coltrane. Or Endtroducing by DJ Shadow.

Yeah, that's a very listenable one too.

 

[twistedAM]

Afghan Whigs - Gemtlemen or maybe Archers of Loaf Icky Metal or Dinosaur Jr Bug

 

[Julie]

Rumours: Fleetwood Mac.
