Quincy Posted March 30, 2005 Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 It probably was Quadrophenia by The Who Me too! Hasn't been played much in the past 20 years compared to the 5 years prior (though a boot from the '73 tour gets played instead.) It was a great album to type term papers to as well - drum along with Moon! My guess is that Bitches Brew would be the most played jazz album.

BruceH Posted March 30, 2005 Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 Most-played LIFETIME album? Hard to say. When I was five I played the hell out of an Alvin and the Chipmunks single. Later I used to play Rubber Soul to death. At one time in college I would listen to Another Green World two or three times a day. At still another time I obsessed over There's A Riot Goin' On, and Kind of Blue of course....and let's not forget The Five Royals. How do you balance these off against each other over the period of your life up to now? I have no idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randyhersom Posted March 30, 2005 Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 Having much more to choose from later in life really favors early acquisitions and perhaps leaves some quality stuff out of the running. It's probably Bruce Springsteen Born To Run. Coltrane's Africa/Brass, Neil Young Live Rust, Woody Shaw Love Dance, Walt Dickerson Peace and Stevie Wonder Innervisions would be in the running. Might be some Santana, Jim Croce and Elton John in there from my teen years. I still love 'em all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartyJazz Posted March 30, 2005 Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 I have an original gatefold LP, the 1st CD issue, then the digipack. IMO, it epitomizes what jazz is all about - the improvisor supreme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted March 30, 2005 Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 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.) 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. "Hard land"? There's a song called "Heartland" and "The Promised Land" One of those?

Guest che Posted March 30, 2005 Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 I meant this song: THIS HARD LAND LYRICS Hey there mister can you tell me what happened to the seeds I’ve sown Can you give me a reason sir as to why they’ve never grown They’ve just blown around from town to town Till they’re back out on these fields Where they fall from my hand Back into the dirt of this hard land Now me and my sister from germantown We did ride We made our bed sir from the rock on the mountainside We been blowin’ around from town to town Lookin for a place to stand Where the sun burst through the cloud To fall like a circle Like a circle of fire down on this hard land Now even the rain it don’t come ’round It don’t come ’round here no more And the only sound at night’s the wind Slammin’ the back porch door It just stirs you up like it wants to blow you down Twistin’ and churnin’ up the sand Leavin’ all them scarecrows lyin’ face down Face down in the dirt of this hard land From a building up on the hill I can hear a tape deck blastin’ home on the range I can see them bar-m choppers Sweepin’ low across the plains It’s me and you frank we’re lookin’ for lost cattle Our hooves twistin’ and churnin’ up the sand We’re ridin’ in the whirlwind searchin’ for lost treasure Way down south of the rio grande We’re ridin’ cross that river In the moonlight Up onto the banks of this hard land Hey frank won’t ya pack your bags And meet me tonight down at liberty hall Just one kiss from you my brother And we’ll ride until we fall Well sleep in the fields We’ll sleep by the rivers and in the morning We’ll make a plan We’ll if you can’t make it Stay hard, stay hungry, stay alive If you can And meet me in a dream of this hard land Che.

For me this is one of the seminal songs I have listened to. An alternative vision of reality. Che. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted March 30, 2005 Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 (edited) I meant this song: THIS HARD LAND LYRICS Hey there mister can you tell me what happened to the seeds I’ve sown Can you give me a reason sir as to why they’ve never grown They’ve just blown around from town to town Till they’re back out on these fields Where they fall from my hand Back into the dirt of this hard land And meet me in a dream of this hard land Che. My apologies. I should have looked it up first. It's on Tracks, which I've never picked up. Oh, in answer to the original question, I'm sure it's some album best forgotten from when I was young. And I don't obsess over albums the same way anymore, it seems like everyone else. But two that are in the running of more adult vintage The Waterboys - Fisherman's Blues - 1st CD I ever bought The Pogues - If I Should Fall from Grace with God Along with the typical array of Beatles And Springsteen - Born to Run or Darkness on the Edge of Town Edited March 30, 2005 by Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just love the Pogues albums, when I was younger I played "Rum, Sodomy and the Lash" all the time, Just purchased new 'Best Of The Pogues', only because it has a 'live' recording of the boys doing their stuff in London.
