......i guess you're a leeds fan

[Johnny Rev 7.0]

After careful consideration (and in agreement with the voices in my head) and reading the actual question in the title of this thread:

(In chronologigal order, I hope ...)

Genesis ~ Nursery Cryme
Entertainment! ~ Gang Of Four
Waiting For A Miracle ~ The Comsat Angels
Brilliant Trees ~ David Sylvian
Elephant ~ White Stripes

Ask me the question in a years time ... then new kid on the block 'Still ~ Nine Inch Nails' will be fighting for a top five place. Maybe.

All top stuff and thoroughly recommended for the musically inquisitive.

[CellThree]

Hmm...

Dextro - Consequence Music
Meanwhile. Back In Communist Russia - My Elixir, My Poison
NIN - With Teeth
Sigur Ros - Takk
Aphex Twin - Analord 1-11

[James Blast]

Not including The sisters my top five most listened to albums ever;
1=.Fields of the nephilim-Elisium &The Nephilim
2=.Mercy Sisters-Foodland & First and last and something

anyone spot the mistakes in this?

[splintered thing]

Over time and omitting the Sisters (which would probably be 90% of music played, but I'm no good at maths)

Pink Floyd - The Wall

The Cure - Disintegration/Pornography (that would be a tie)

Siouxsie & the Banshees - Nocturne (coz her chatty bits between songs are hilarious)

Sinead O'Connor - The Lion and the Cobra

Fields of the Nephilim - The Nephilim

Project Pitchfork - Chakra red

Skinny Puppy - Bites

(told you I was no good at Maths!)
If all I had was that list & The Sisters, I could probably cope.

Oh my god - I just realised I played Madonna - Like a Prayer a lot when I was about 12.......does that count? For shame!

Only FIVE
I'm afraid that this is nearly completely impossible for my utter self...sorry mates!
Besides the simple fact, that my "most spinned CDs" do not necessarily appear in my "alltime FAVOURITE records" - list! AND besides the fact,that the music I prefer listening to always depends on various influences like: my personal mood, the surrounding, the occasion and so on and so twice....uhm... ... I simply CANNOT break it down to only five records (even if TSOM are excluded).
So...I hope you forgive me, if I'll try to choose ten instead of five.

The Cure - Pornography
Joy Division - Unknown Pleasures
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - The Best Off (-> my favourite "real" album would be "Tender Prey" or "No More Shall We Part" but "The Best Off" is simply spinned more often. Dunno why...)
NIN - The Fragile
REM - Automatic For The People
Pink Floyd - Pulse (live)
Rob Zombie - The Sinister Urge
Rob Dougan - Furious Angels
Lluther - Rise Of The Reptile King
T.Rex - Cosmic Dancer
The 69 Eyes -. Blessed Be
Massive Attack - The Best Off
Endraum - Blauhauch
Tori Amos - Little Earthquakes
Anathema - A Fine Day To Exit
Velvet Acid Christ - Twisted Thought Generator
Clan Of Xymox - The Best Off (favourite "real" album might be "Creatures")
NIN - The Downward Spiral
Combichrist - Everybody Hates You
Skinny Puppy - The Greater Wrong Of The Right

....uhm.... ...blimey!! Now it turned out to be a "Top 20" instead of a "Top 10". Sorry!

Anathema - A Fine Day To Exit

I always got more out of Judgement...[/quote]

"Judgement" is an amazing record aswell, I agree! But I like it basically, because of "Deep" and "Parisienne Moonlights" and like "A Fine Day To Exist" more than "Judgement", when it comes to listening to the entire record and not only to selected songs.
