What albums stay in heavy rotation in your cd player? (1 Viewer)

[Sheldon C]

I don't mean recent cd's, I mean albums that you have listened to at least once a month or more for the past few years.

My list:

Tool - Aenima

Megadeth - Rust In Peace

Iced Earth - Burnt Offerings

Dream Theatre - Images and Words

Scenes From a Memory (almost too recent to

make the list).

Fear Factory - Demanufacture

Obsolete (pretty recent)

Metallica - 1st 5 albums, especially Lightning, Puppets,

and Justice.

Most listened to album: Master of Puppets

*Disclamer* Don't think you have to be a metal head to

respond!

 

[Evan S]

Sheldon, these make it into my player at least once a month since the day I bought them.
Robert Cray - Strong Persuader
Happy Anniversary Charlie Brown - Various Jazz Artists
Dada - American Highway Flower
Stevie Ray Vaughn - Texas Flood
Shawn Colvin - Fat City
I'm sure there are a couple more that I'm forgetting, but in a collection of over 500 CD's, these find their way every single month at least once.

[Jimmie Lee]

Sade - any album

Mark Knopfler - Sailing to Philadelphia

Walter Trout - Go the Distance

 

[MikeH1]

INXS - Shabooh Shoobah

REM - Out Of Time

The Northern Pikes - Big Blue Sky

Julie Miller - Blue Pony

I finally just picked up REM's Murmur and now realize what all the fuss was about. A brilliant disc.

 

[Sheldon C]

Michael - what songs are on Murmur that I might have heard?

John - describe Orbital's style, I have never heard of them.

 

[Leif Wall]

In Flames - Clayman
Emperor - IX Equilibrium
Pearl Jam - Ten
Snake River Conspiracy - s/t
Letters to Cleo - all their albums
Belly - King
Mary Lou Lord - s/t i think
and of course my different compilation 'Bass Tracks' discs

 

[Sheldon C]

Leif - I have Colony and I sort of like it; how does it compare with Clayman?

 

[John Garcia]

John - describe Orbital's style, I have never heard of them.

Orbital's recent album, Altogether, is really not as good as their early stuff. In Sides is probably their best, but Snivilization and Middle of Nowhere are good also.

They are sort of a techno/trance/ambient blend, with little or no lyrics on their earlier stuff. Relatively mellow, lots of bass, and catchy basslines and some interesting samples.

If you've seen Mortal Kombat, then you will probably recognize the track "Halcyon".

Two of the oddest tracks are "Time becomes" and "Input out" from Orbital 2. Both feature right to left time delayed playback of a portion of a sentence, in which the timing slowly changes. "Time becomes" uses the prase "where time becomes a loop" sampled from Star Trek's Michael (?I forget, he plays Warf), Anyway, the phrase will start synced as a single stereo image, then begin to shift and play in the left speaker, then the right slightly after, then the timing will shift slightly until they overlap, and the words become intermixed for a very unusual effect. They shift "in", and then back out to the original timing at the end of the sequence. On "Input out" the same technique is used with the phrases "Input translation, Output rotation"

 

[Matt Heebner]

In my 5 disc changer, you will more often than not find:

Natalie Merchant's....Tigerlily

Dave Matthews Band....Under The Table and Dreaming

Natalie Merchant's....Ophelia

The Cult..............High Octane

Stevie Ray Vaughn.....Couldn't Stand the Weather (SACD)

Other routine swap-in's:

DMB...Crash, Everyday, Live At Luther College

Natalie Merchant...Motherland

[MikeH1]

Sheldon, the "big hit" on the disc is Radio Free Europe. I'm curious to know how far up the billboard singles charts it went.

Another song might be Talk About The Passion. I have that one on a greatest hits disc of theirs and never realized it was on murmur. As for the other songs I'm not sure if you would be familiar. I have only listened to it 3 times but plan to give it much more airplay

 

[Joseph Young]

Scud Mountain Boys: Pine Box

New Model Army: Strange Brotherhood

The Church: Starfish

Joy Division: Unknown Pleasures

Wasted: The Best of Volume, pts 1 & 2

Apoptygma Bezerk: Welcome to Earth

In Sides is probably their best, but Snivilization and Middle of Nowhere are good also.

Orbital 2, for the inclusion of the splendorous, brilliant, gorgous Halcyon + On + On is my favorite Orbital album, hands down.

[Martin Fontaine]

Alisha's Attic - Illumina.

I bought this 2 1/2 Years ago and I still listen to it at least once a week! Probably my best example of lasting value on a CD. I have all their albums and listen to all of them regularly too, but this one (Especially the song Dive In) always come back.

 

[Leif Wall]

Sheldon - I bought Colony not too long ago. I don't really like it as much as I LOVE Clayman. Clayman is sooooo well recorded, so clean sounding, it's a joy to listen to. If you like metal at all, it's a MUST HAVE and if you like Colony at all, then Clayman is a no-brainer.

A couple more albums I forgot:

Gorillaz - s/t

Pink Floyd - The Wall, DSOTM

Tristania - Beyond the Veil

RATM - s/t
