To be honest I have so many other interests/commitments these days it's difficult to find the time to listen to music. Be it firm favourites or the latest thing I've downloaded from Demonoid

Still makes me think about getting out a CD to fall asleep to when I get home, not Big Black obviously......

Joy Division - Les Bains Douches
Editors - The Back Room
Placebo - Once More With Feeling
NMA - Raw Melody Men
Front 242 - Front By Front

Also listening a lot to compilations of James Ray and Shriekback (since a few days.. )

Hm. Good question. At the moment:

Rosetta Stone - Compilation that scotty burned
Ghost Dance - Stop The World
Rhapsody - Tales From The Emerald Sword Saga

David Bowie - Diamond Dogs
Swans - Soundtracks for the Blind
The Stooges - The Stooges
Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Lift Yr Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven

Tool - Lateralus
Killing Joke - Extremities
Fields of the Nephilim - The Nephilim
Play Dead - Into the Fire
RLYL - Smashed Hits

Nice to see my tastes don't change that much!

I don't have a regular top five. Especially as one or more of the Sisters albums figure in it at all times...

I'll hammer regularly - Least Worst Of.. by TON, Empires by VNV, Hybrid by Gary Numan, and Unknown Pleasures by Joy Division.

This is the problem with MP3s, now...I don't so much have albums as songs I nick from each album for a general compilation mix.

These 5 I tend to dig out on a regular basis:

FoTN - Dawnrazor
Type O Negative - October Rust
NIN - Broken
Metallica - Master Of Puppets
Wildhearts - Earth vs The Wildhearts

something by The Cure would also be in there but I haven't listened to them for a while (apart from bootlegs).

Currently:

Curve - Pubic fruit
Laibach - WAT
Ministry - Animositiomina
KMFDM - Attak
Various - Doom Generation OST

According to iTunes its:

NiN - The Downward Spiral
Depeche Mode - Violator
Rosetta Stone - Chemical Emissions
Fields of the Nephilim - Earth Inferno
Children on Stun - Tourniquets of Loves Desire

not sure I believe it though as these are closely followed by 'Duran Duran - Greatest Hits' and 'The KLF -Chill Out'. Gulp.

I have the feeling the original question was "top 5 most played LPs ever" and some of you guys give a "top 5 favourite records" kind of list, whether it be at the moment or ever. These are two slightly different issues.
I think your most played records ever say more about who you are. And fav records lists change like the weather.

Black Wire - Black Wire
The Chameleons - Script of the Bridge
The Cure - Greatest Hits
Placebo - Meds
The Smiths - The Queen is Dead

The 5 most played.... Ever!

New Model Army - Thunder and Consolation
The Levellers - Levelling The Land
Marillion - Fugazi
Marillion - Misplaced Childhood
Bob Dylan - No Mercy

This makes me look old !

All 1980s and early 1990s.....

The Waterboys - This Is The Sea

I didn't want my list to be all-The Cure either (17 seconds, Faith, Pornography, Disintegration).
That would have left little space for the rest.

Well recently the ones I've been playing most include...

The Charlatans - Simpatico
Echo & the Bunnymen - Siberia
The Beta Band - Heroes To Zeros
Malcolm Middleton - Into The Woods
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - Best Of

All time? must be...

The Jesus and Mary Chain - Psychocandy
Lords of the New Church - Lords of the New Church
AC/DC - If You Want Blood
Motorhead - No Sleep Til Hammersmith
The Stone Roses - The Stone Roses

I've listened to the above a worrying number of times

Sisters of mercy Home of Hitmen
Sisters of mercy Home of Hitmen
Sisters of mercy Home of Hitmen
Sisters of mercy Home of Hitmen
Sisters of mercy Home of Hitmen

Mine would probaly look like this:

Jeff Buckley - Grace
Throwing Muses - Hunkpapa/their first
Kent - Vapen & Ammunition
Tori Amos - From the Choirgirl Hotel
Belly - Star

More mania than darkness....

According to my iPod / iTunes excluding The Sisters, the most played albums are:

Manic Street Preachers - Generation Terrorists
A Perfect Circle - Mer De Noms
Tool - Lateralus
Black Sabbath - Master Of Reality
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - Henry's Dream

But nothing on there has been played more than 8 times it says. But I reckon it's a fair assessment over the past year.

The Sisters stuff comes in this order:
Vision Thing
SGWBM
Floodland
FALAA
then various bootlegs

That surprises me actually; I would have thought it would go Floodland / SGWBM / FALAA / VT

the strange thing is, i have 19 albums that i played most instead of just 5. but i guess that isn't an issue.

1. Covenant - Sequencer:Beta
2. Fields of the Nephilim - Earth inferno
3. Cocteau Twins - The pink opaque
4. Wolfsheim - Spectators
5. Pet Shop Boys - Discography
6. Anne Clark - R.S.V.P.
7. Jean-Michel Jarre - Zoolook
8. Deine Lakaien - Dark star tour live
9. Mesh - On this tour forever
10. Diorama - Her liquid arms
11. Siglo XX - Antler tracks II
12. Front 242 - Live target
13. Pixies - Doolittle
14. Project Pitchfork - Lam-'bras
15. Relatives Menschsein - Gefallene Engel
16. Portishead - Dummy
17. Dive - Concrete jungle
18. Plastic Noise Experience - Rauschen
19. Dryft - Cell

one remark & two observations:
1. i don't listen to albums as much as i used to, just in my car during the daily traffic jams. so countings are based on historical data
2. i'm getting old
3. i seem to fancy live stuff quite a lot

Aren't we all ?

The most recent LP is my list is FotN's Eath Inferno... which was released 15 years ago.
There are some more recent albums that got played quite a lot (Heather Nova's Oyster being one of them), but by no means as much as these 5 top albums.
