Safe to assume it's probably this followed closely by the rest of my top 10, literally just had it on there again 10 minutes ago. Lovely.
Good choice!
I listen to this one a fair bit.
I have it on vinyl.
And I play the track Where Is My Mind? all the time.
Probably drives my neighbours crackers although I have started using headphones.
Nice! I don't get to it as much anymore as my , but I still check in every now and again and I'm confident it's my most played album, when I first heard this album I played for a week straight easily, just could not stop putting it on! _________________
If I had to guess, it'd probably be the same as my #1: Pet Sounds. However, I've listened to it in full no more than a dozen times total. I spread my album listening around a lot and tend to only obsess over songs. _________________ Join us in the canon game :) / Add me on RYM
That's a tough call. I'd say I usually don't listen to an album more than once a month once I've become familiar with it. That being said, when I was younger I used to listen to stuff I liked nonstop over and over. Here are some ones I listened to a lot in particular
#3 on my chart right now... used to listen to this a lot as a preteen; I also used to listen to all the White Stripes album over and over when I was really young on my MP3 player. Jack White's bands and Nirvana was the only nonradio music I had back in those days.
I could never get enough of this album when I first heard it; it was definitely my favorite for like 4-5 months it's 29th on my chart (partly for sentimental reasons)
… And this one. I usually listened to at least one Genesis album a day when I was 16, but this one might have been the one I returned to the most (even if it's not my #1)
Haha there's a lot more I could name but I don't want to keep editing. Basically I used to listen to stuff over and over from my favorite artists a lot as a teenager.

I probably listened to both The Libertines' albums hundreds of times when I was 13-16. I've never obsessed over anything like that since then. Never return to them anymore. _________________ 2021 in full effect. Come drop me some recs. Y'all know what I like.

Impossible to pick any one with certainty. These would be the contenders:
Black Sabbath - Heaven and Hell
Dream Theater - Images and Words
Dan Fogelberg - Nether Lands
Moody Blues - Days of Future Passed
Rush - Moving Pictures

Lame... well it used to have a decade recap of your top listened to song/artist/album for the whole decade. Now it's just playlists of your year recaps and a decade playlist "catered to you".
Anyway, I vaguely remembering U2 and R.E.M. being my top listened to artists, which probably would be no surprise to anyone who knew me. I think when I joined this site like 20% of my overall chart was basically those two bands.
I did get a notification that I'm Itzhak Perlman's top 1% listeners in the world on my phone once. Was kinda shocked at that, but makes sense given most people who listen to classical music aren't big Spotify fans and then most people who listen to Spotify usually aren't classical fans. And I'm just doing this massive classical music project all at once - so statistics and all. Probably few people have listened to that much classical music concentrated... and well I am an Itzhak Perlman fan... just not 1% in the world type fan.

Unfortunately I have no way to estimate this, but my guess is that it's something I found a very long time ago and still enjoy. Contenders include:
Interpol - Turn on the Bright Lights
Queens of the Stone Age - Songs for the Deaf
At the Drive-In - Relationship of Command
Nirvana - In Utero
Modest Mouse - The Moon and Antarctica
I found these all within the first year I started exploring music as a hobby and with exception of Interpol, they're all still on my chart. Other possibilities are albums I discovered more recently but where I had a period I was slightly obsessed with them, so maybe:
Kendrick - To Pump a Butterfly
Kanye - MBTDF
Radiohead - The Bends
Modest Mouse - The Lonesome Crowded West
Guided by Voices - Bee Thousand
Dismemberment Plan - Emergency & I
Songs: Ohia - The Magnolia Electric Co
Phoebe Bridgers - Stranger in the Alps
The last couple seem unlikely since I discovered them relatively recently but they're the kind of album I know every note of so maybe. Again they're all still high ranked on my chart besides The Bends which has kind of grown off me.
According to Spotify my top artist of the decade is Tom Waits. I know it's nothing by him because I only started listening to him very recently and i think he grabbed that spot because I listened to so many different albums by him. Modest Mouse was unsurprisingly second on the list. _________________ And it's hard to be a human being. And it's harder as anything else.
I still like the album! In fact, I listened to it yesterday which is probably why it was on my mind in this thread. But in the past ten years I've found probably at least 200 albums I like more, so there's no room for it on my chart anymore. Honestly I'm surprised the others I mentioned have held up all these years despite how much my tastes have changed. _________________ And it's hard to be a human being. And it's harder as anything else.
Probably Robert Wyatt's Rock Bottom, Van Morrison's Astral Weeks or Neutral Milk Hotel's In the Aeroplane Over the Sea. Astral Weeks and In the Aeroplane Over the Sea got a head start on Rock Bottom by 4 or 5 years, but Rock Bottom has most likely caught or surpassed them by now. Those three are probably above 500 listens each at this point. If one counts the (roughly) 100 different recordings of Beethoven's 9th Symphony I've listened to all as a single selection (and revisiting my favorite renditions numerous times over the years) then overall, that is perhaps above those 3 or alongside them. _________________ Best Classical Best Films Best Paintings
