Wild wood Paul Weller.:D
I've been sitting trying to rack my brain on this. So many to choose from, old and new, but I’m thinking "what have I honestly listened to the most?"... and it's not cool, or hip by any stretch of the imagination, but I would have to say At The Club by Kenickie. Harmless, tongue in cheek guitar pop from the 90's, but in those days, I just loved their melodies and simple harmonies. I bought the CD in the music shop, and listened to it for months, if not years. I think I wanted to be Lauren Laverne [lol] . Ah, I had it out just the other day, for a wee reminisce…

I ripped that to mp3 and windows media player Knew the track listings!! I was quite surprised.
My best album could well be
Appetite for Destruction. The first an only album I bought and loved every single track at my first listen.
Iron Maiden Powerslave is pretty darn good too.
AC/DC live album
Red Hot Chilli Peppers Blood Suger Sex Magic is great.
Hanoi Rocks two steps from the move, pure class
Soul Asylum Grave Dancers Union.
Matallica, The Black Album, although I think it's just called Metallica or maybe Green Days Warning.

Like lots of albums - but the one I always go back to for since I was a bairn is "Nilsson Schmilsson" by "Harry Nilsson." Underrated Classic
"Lifted...Or...The Story Is In The Soil. Keep Your Ear To The Ground" by Bright Eyes.
Or...
"Happiness...Is Not A Fish That You Can Catch" by Our Lady Peace.
They're both amazing in completely different ways.

Far too many to list really, as each album is perfect for different moods....so how many moods do you have?? LOL
Here's just a couple that stand out in my mind as classics though.
Astral Weeks ~ Van Morrison
Five Leaves Left ~ Nick Drake

For the 90’s it has to be The Stone Roses – The Stone Roses.
2000 - I know its only Nov. 2006 but Block party (http://www.blocparty.com/) and Snow Patrol (http://www.snowpatrol.com/) have made my year so far
liking the new muse album. but just now its johnny cash's greatest hits thats on the cd player.
my most listened too one thou was hot fuss by the killers.
I think to sort this one out there is only one way to go that is to sort by the physical state of LP Covers or CD .... that leave Wheels of fire / Cream aand / or Traffic/Traffic Dark side of the Moon / Pinkfloyd

Listened to the New Thunder Album today 'Robert Johnson's Tombstone.'
Excellent British Blues Rock (can't help comparing Danny Bowes voice that of Paul Rodgers though).
I see they're playing Inverness at the end of November.
Cool.

Had that one for a couple of weeks now, not a bad slice of rock music. There's a lot of good music coming out from some of the old school rockers these days.
Plus, a lot of good new stuff too, and not before time. ;)
