What cd/Lp have you played the most often?

[medjuck]

In my case I'm sure it's "Kind of Blue"--as unimaginative as that may be.

(I think this is a more interesting question than what is the "best" recording of all time.)

[Tony Pusey]

Love, Forever Changes.

(I think this is a more interesting question than what is the "best" recording of all time.)

Absolutely. An excellent question.

I'm temped to say this one...

...but I'd have to think it over to be more sure.

[AfricaBrass]

Love, Forever Changes.

I listened to that LP almost daily for a couple of years when I was in High School.

Let's see...

During the late 80's, I constantly listened to Coltrane's Africa Brass (MCA single cd) and David Crosby's If I Could Only Remember My Name.

During the 90's I listened to a lot of Stereolab, especially Mars Audiac Quintet.

Now, I find myself going from album to album (and city to city) like a gypsy. I do listen to a lot of Jimmy Bryant and Speedy West. Their Bear Family Box set is probably the most played item for me during the last few years.

Jeff / formerly AfricaBrass

[Eric]

Joe Henderson - Mode for Joe

[Spontooneous]

Stravinsky conducting "The Rite of Spring." All through my teen years.

Followed closely by Charlie Parker, "The Savoy Sessions -- Master Takes," in its LP incarnation, and Bob Dylan's "Bringing It All Back Home."

[ghost of miles]

R.E.M.'s MURMUR and the first disc of COMPLETE BUD POWELL ON VERVE... a toss-up.

Great question, but not one that is easy to answer, well at least for me.

It would be easier if you had asked 'which track or song?', and could have said 'Hard Land' by Bruce Springsteen.

But back to your question?

If I stay with jazz then it would probably be:

Miles Davis in Stockholm 1960 Complete

Ask me in the morning and I may choose something else.

Che.

[B. Goren.]

This is the one:

[Eric]

R.E.M.'s MURMUR and the first disc of COMPLETE BUD POWELL ON VERVE... a toss-up.

I see no reason to choose between these two

[Dan Gould]

I think I would probably say this one:

[Free For All]

Probably the Charlie Parker Aebersold play-along.

I was obsessed w/that one when I was first learning to play bop heads and changes. I still use it frequently.

As far as regular music CDs, it would probably be a Miles; Miles Smiles, KOB, Jazz at the Plaza, ESP, Milestones, or maybe Cannonball's Somethin' else.

[Stefan Wood]

Art Blakey - Indestructible

Dennis Brown - 2 cd Trojan set

Al Green - Anthology

The Jam - Hits

Fela - Confusion/Gentleman

Stravinsky - Rites of Spring (many, many different versions)

Scheherazade (same thing)

All of these I have constantly played over the years.

[sonic1]

Jazz- John Coltrane: Live at Villiage Vanguard box (I listened to this a hell of a lot when I first got it, and the album a hell of a lot before that. The album made me switch from guitar to tenor sax as a primary instrument.

Rock- Beach Boys: Pet Sounds There is no better rock album.

Classical- Luigi Nono: Fragmente-Stille, An Diotima

EAI- Yoshihide, M, Nakamura: Good Morning, Good Night

[Peter Johnson]

I think I would probably say this one:

Moi aussi! (Jazzwise, that is). Have to think about the _overall_ most-listened-to thing, though.

[marcoliv]

Sign O' The Times from Prince

Marcus

[WD45]

For jazz, it would be this:

For rock, this was played nearly every day in the corporate whore record store I worked in for 6 months to make ends meet. I still like it! Radiohead - Kid A

[jazzbo]

Wow .. . I think it might be Bitches Brew or Band of Gypsies or (Ellington) Indigos.

[Sundog]

This one....

...with this one being a close second

On the Jazz tip it's gotta be this one....

The main reason I learned an appreciaton for 'real' jazz:

Very difficult question

For now, I'd say:

but I'd have to give it some thought.

I remember playing thru many copies of this too:

[JohnS]

I'd guess Kind of Blue and Mingus Ah Um.

[jlhoots]

Mine would be by Miles too - but it probably would be Round About Midnight or one from the Prestige series - maybe Cookin'.

[GA Russell]

Richard "Groove" Holmes - Soul Message

[Brad]

Of any type, I'd have to say Revolver.

For jazz, Bird's Savoy Dial Sessions.
