How often does your Fave' Album change?

[scotty]

Is everyone as fickle?,right now it's"Futile Combat",but tomorrow it could be back to"The Nephilim"or"Gathering Dust",I guess I have a top 10 which stays the same{just},surley I'm not the only one?,does anyone have a definitive top 5 or 10?.

[aims]

I'm relatively fickle, but it fluctuates. I might be addicted to one album for a couple of months and then a new one may displace it for about 5 minutes until another comes along. It's probably proportional to how much music I'm listening to and how much new stuff I'm buying.

For those interested (probably none of you), right now The Chameleon's "Script of the Bridge" holds the top spot. Before that was The Velvet Underground and Nico.

Well, good old Dark did some research on the HL favourite albums once...

Personally, Floodland has been on top of the list for ages (though before yesterday it had been ages since I last heard it), but everything below that shifts quite often, depending on how I feel, what style of things I like on that moment, and so on and so on...

Bloody good topic, Scotty!

It depends what you mean by favourite. All-time or current? My all-time favourite albums I don't necessarily have on constant rotation at any one time, especially since I've listened them to death over the years, and also I like to listen to certain music at certain times of the year, etc... but they are the ones that... my head would explode if I was told I could never hear them again .

Siouxsie - All from A Kiss In The Dreamhouse thru The Rapture, with the exception of Superstition (which I do like though...) and Once Upon a Time...
Sisters - ALL
Joy Division - Closer
Laibach - Opus Dei
PJ Harvey - To Bring You My Love
Dead Can Dance - Within The Realm of a Dying Sun/Spleen & Ideal
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Best of
Depeche Mode - Black Celebration/Violator
Project Pitchfork - Alpha Omega
The Cult - Dreamtime
Kraftwerk - Trans-Europe Express
Patti Smith - Land

Those would be my all-time favourites... every few years it might change a little, but the majority of these have been up there for 5 years at least...

My current favourites, in terms of what I'm listening to most ATM...

Well, see my avatar - Swans, Various Failures 88-92... Gira and Jarboe are a new discovery for me, and this album has swept me off my feet recently. Jaw-droppingly good. I really should put it in my all-time favourites, because I don't see myself "going off" it...

Also...
DAF - Alles Ist Gut
Diamanda Galas - Malediction & Prayer
Einsturzende Neubauten - Haus der Luge
Grace Jones - Nightclubbing
Laibach - Nato/WAT
Morrissey - You Are The Quarry
NMA - Thunder & Consolation (a long-overdue revival...)



I like music.

[biggy]

For well over twenty years it's been :

1/ Fun House - the stooges (I even named my studio after it)

Then :
Dirk wears white sox - Adam and the ants (before they went silly)
Dry/ Rid of me/ To bring you my love - PJ Harvey ( can't seperate them)
Script of the bridge - The Chameleons
Gun Club - Fire of love

More recently:
The Duke Spirit - cuts across the land

[Obviousman]

Ah, great topic indeed, gives me loads of inspiration to fill up my good ol' iPod to overcome next week

[Debaser]

In answer to the question.....daily, sometimes hourly.

Am dead fickle you see.

[Andie]

yeah i'm fickle too

could be that i'm just looking for something different to hold my attention for longer than 30 seconds...

currently i'm having a 2 tone revival...Slecter, Specials and The Beat are being played...

[Brideoffrankenstein]

Every time I get a new CD that I cannot stop listening to until I get the next CD I cannot stop listening to

[Dark]

My current favourite songs, which I could listen to for years:

The Assembly - Never Never
Eels - Hey Man (Now You're Really Living)
Einstürzente Neubauten - Sabrina
Ghost Dance - Radar Love
James Ray - Mexico Sundown Blues
Manowar - The Crown And The Ring (Lament Of The Kings)
The Ramones - Howling At The Moon (Sha-La-La)
Rhapsody - Emerald Sword
Simon And Garfunkel - The Only Living Boy In New York
The Velvet Underground - Heroin

[scotty]

I try and think what 10 CDs/records I'd grab if the house went on fire or I was going to a desert Island for ages{with electricty & a cd player },or some other STUPID reason,
NMA-Thunder & con'
Sisters-FALAA
Ghost Dance-Gathering Dust
LOUD-D-Generation
Fields of the Nephilim-Nephilim
Skeletal Family-Futile Combat
The Damned-Black Album
Joy Division-Closer
Red Lorry Yellow Lorry-Paint Your Wagon
Alien Sex Fiend-Too Much Acid?
Then I'd be pissed off that I never took-Goodbye Mr Mackenzie,Claytown Troupe,Salvation .

For the last 13-odd years it's been Vision Thing.

The only non-Sisters album to challenge it is NMA - The Love of Hopeless Causes.

They aren't the albums I listen to the most at any given time but I never ever get bored of them, unlike other albums I've played to death

That is one thing that really has to be said for Sisters... stands up to repeated listening. Never gets old.

And when I say repeated, I mean repeated...

My favourite album, at this moment, is from Saybia. But this changes weekly. Before this one, I was mad about the album from Keane.

[DerekR]

Well my all-time top album hasn't changed since ooh ... 1985

[pandemon]

Scotty mentioned something about the house being on fire, and then gave a few very good pointers at which albums to take! I agree on
FALAA
NMA - Thunder & Consolation
FotN - The Nephilim

and I would like to add
Rosetta Stone - Adrenaline
Children on Stun - Mondo Weird
Ministry - Psalm 69
Johnny Cash - American III: Solitary Man

But I guess it would make more sense grabbing the computer since they're all in there ...
