Yes Mr Psichonaut.

All children should learn these hymns at school. The world would be better for it.

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

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.

Hmm...

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

1=.Fields of the nephilim-Elisium &The Nephilim
2=.Mercy Sisters-Foodland & First and last and something

anyone spot the mistakes in this?

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!

Some inspirational choices in these lists, as usual, I will be tracking down so many on Grooveshark in the next week...

My 5 most played over the years

Wasted Youth - Wild and Wandering
Dick Gaughan - Handful of Earth
Icicle Works - Seven Singles Deep
Siouxsie and the Banshees - Juju
The Cure - Faith

i'm surprised how many of those listed i have, but no Tool. maybe i should check them out - what is recommended?

anyway, showing a full grasp of the original question

Abba - Arrival
Abba - The album
Pistols - Nevermind the bollox
Adam & the Ants - kings of the
PIL - metal box

you should start with the album Lateralus

Tom Waits - Rain Dogs
Tom Waits - Swordfishtrombones
Tom Waits - Frank's Wild Years
Tom Waits - Bone Machine
PJ Harvey - To Bring You My Love

Very tricky not to just name the 4 VU albums & Nico's Chelsea Girl but in the lieu of that...
The Velvet Underground & Nico - The Velvet Underground & Nico
The Stooges - Funhouse
The Psychedelic Furs - The Psychedelic Furs
Japan - Gentlemen Take Polaroids
David Bowie - Diamond Dogs

OK - top 5 as follows, in no real order

Television - Marquee Moon
The Clash - Give Em Enough Rope
Joy Division - Unknown Pleasures
Kraftwerk - TEE
The Human League - Reproduction

Flagg

Ladytron -604
Littleboots - hands
Prodigy - invaders must die
Gary numan - pure
Placebo - black marrket music

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!

Rita Lynch - Call Me Your Girlfriend
Ishida Ayumi - Single Collection

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.

Fallen - FOTN
