Oldest album(s) that you still listen to regularly?

1. NMTB - never tire of the energy and wall of sound
2, Don McLean - self titled . Wonderful melodies
3. Paul Simon - Rhymin Simon. Uplifting tunes
4. Leonard Cohen - New Skin - Cutting and well executed poetry
5. Cat Stevens - Mona, Teaser and Tillerman ... forget the others although I have all his stuff these three are the go to LPs
 
Mozart symphony No. 40.
Also, anything by Joy Division, The Velvet Underground, The Doors, Nick Drake, Tim Buckley, Leonard Cohen, and bits of Pink Floyd.
There must be some connection, possibly the dark side.

I think I’m a little younger than a lot of this thread judging by the feedback, but recently listened to a few from CCR. Wow their songs are good!
 
Is this not relevant to music that was popular when we were growing up?

It has a way of transporting us back when revisiting albums we played over and over as (I guess) young teens.

Anyway, this happened to me this week. Listened to Alanis Morisette. Jagged Little Pill. Every song is an absolute banger!
Transported me back to being 15 when I bought it. 30 years ago next year 🤯

Still listen to Music For The Jilted Generation. The Prodigy.
Definitely Maybe. Oasis.
K - Kula Shaker
I should Coco - Supergrass
 
Ones that always get a couple of plays each year:-
The Alarm - Declaration
The Skids - Scared To Dance
Adam & The Ants - Dirk Wears White Sox
Queen - A Night At The Opera
 
I usually do different bands per night
Lately
Gary Moore night for some quick rock
Beatles night mainly early stuff
Bowie anything up to Lets Dance after that i cant stand the music
Joe Satriani for quick excellent guitar
Led Zeppelin the best rock band ever in my opinion
Then chilled nights with Floyd or The Doors.
Afternoon spent with 70-80 music
Self indulgent nights Dylan or JMJ
 
Bit baffled by this thread, the oldest Album I bought or stuff very far back I listen to?
First listened to Dylan from cousins or older brother of friends.
I was brought up listening to every band or artist during the 60`s beat and the Beatles and Stones.
Oldest Albums I personally bought were in the early 1970s from around 1971.
I still have vinyl for lots of bands I bought - Slade Play it loud, Slade Alive, Bowie Ziggy Stardust 1972 Alice Cooper, I bought early Dylan stuff - Times are a changing- Freewheelin around 1973. Ronson, Mott the Hoople, 1974, the list is to big to do.

Listening to and owning vinyl and CD, I have lots of favourites from as far back as the 30`s who my dad liked and the 50s that I enjoyed listening to.
I'm in to everything except - House, Rave, Hip Hop , gangster rap with the very very odd exception, I find I just don't have the feeling from it perhaps I dont have the culture or background to enjoy it.

But I listen to everything from blues and rock n roll. Instrumental rock, folk, punk, new wave, Reggae, Ska. Indie pop, classical.

Music produced now seems mostly inert for me, probably an age thing.

The idea was just the oldest stuff that you listen to now.

No matter what medium you play it on. Or whether you bought it or not.
 
Now then. Still in La La land, walked 10 miles today (Playa Honda to Arrecife and back) it was bloody hot, but overcast now. Drinking the local vino.

I heard Fleetwood Mac were rereleasing all their old albums, but I think that’s just rumours at the moment.

 
ELO 1st Album 1971
Hunky Dory .David Bowie 1971
Close To The Edge. Yes 1972
The Dark Side Of The Moon. Pink Floyd1973
Selling England By The Pound. Genesis 1973
The Snow Goose. Camel 1975
Mental Notes . Split Enz 1975
Heavy Horses. Jethro Tull 1978.

Back when music was music and it was played with feeling and originality, not mass produced by machines and computers.
 
These are the vinyl LP's that I regularly play either both or one complete side of (rather than individual tracks). For me, they are that rare thing - all killer and no filler. Any track from any of these LP's will do for me at any time:

Brain Capers - Mott The Hoople (1971)
Blue - Joni (1971)
Aja - Steely Dan (1977)
Can't Buy A Thrill -Steely Dan (1972)
Every Picture Tells A Story - Rod Stewart (1971) The first LP I bought BTW.
Frampton Comes Alive - Peter Frampton (1976)
Crime Of The Century - Supertramp (1974)
The Nightfly - Donald Fagen (1982)

Some of the tracks on the Frampton album are spoilt by the constant whistling of the cretinous portion of the crowd. It must be an age thing, as it was not an issue when I were a young 'un. Do our ears become more sensitive to high pitch as we age, or was I married for too long?
