donslow Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 I’ve not seen a thread on this as yet and thought it might be a good idea to start one..... what album is “always there” on your ipod/phone/mp3 player however you listen to music on the go, regardless of whatever phase or current listening habits your going through, for no particular explicable reason, an album that just does not seem to leave whatever device you listen to music on..... I’ll kick this off, one album that seems to never leave my device for no particular reason The Horrible Crowes - Elsie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreek Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 In the days of making my own "various tapes" I would invariably put on a track from "Stop Making Sense" by Talking Heads. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FinnDave Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 I have 100 or more CDs on the shelf above my stereo in my 'music room' (smallest bedroom/box room) and they are all Grateful Dead, mostly live recordings. In fact most are 2 or 3 disc live shows. A few are 20+ disc box sets. I have most of them of them in my iTunes library as well. So whatever I listen to, it will be the Dead, unless it's a gig or rehearsal recording of the band I play in, which plays nothing but the Dead. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silverfoxnik Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 To go back to the OP, it's a good question.. But its so hard to find just one 'ever there' album. For me, a Top 10 album list for the last 40 years or so would include: Hunky Dory (Bowie) Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust & The Spiders From Mars (Bowie) Real Life (Magazine) Hounds of Love (Kate Bush) The Main Event - Live (Frank Sinatra) Ingenue (KD Lang) Fleet Foxes (Fleet Foxes) What's Going On (Marvin Gate) Seldom Seen Kid (Elbow) Dark Side of the Moon (Pink Floyd) These albums get played constantly, but there are so many others that do too.. My guess is there's a top 100 or so albums that have formed the core of my music listening since 1972. And maybe 2 or 3 new ones get added every few years.. Thinking about it, I'm just a boring old git of a bass player who hasn't changed his tastes in music very much for over the past 40 years!! Quite happy though.. 😊 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The album i put up, isnt my favourite album or amongst the ones that constantly get played, just always seems to be on my phone, like you, i couldn't just list one album, id be here forever.... but some sterling music being mentioned so far.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowdown Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 I have quite a few regular albums and I'm constantly listening to music, but this bunch gets the most plays, I suppose. Mountain Dance - Dave Grusin Back To Oakland - Tower Of Power The Copland Collection - Aaron Copland The Planets - Holst AWB - The Average White Band Aja - Steely Dan West Side Story - Dave Grusin The Essential Vaughan Williams Collection... L.A. is my Lady - Frank Sinatra Caribe - Michel Camilo Big Band Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leftybassman392 Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 (edited) Well, it's official: Basschat is overwhelmingly overpopulated by an assorted assortment of crusty old conkers. I have a huge variety of stuff on my iPod (around 900 songs in all IIRC), which I try to make sure I listen to as much of as possible when opportunity knocks. Oldest would probably be Miles Davies, and newest would be, um, Guthrie Govan I would think. I like it all, and it's always on there mostly because I very rarely take anything off. The goodly and gentle @silverfoxnik summed it up pretty well; picking one or two from the collection is an impossible task.
