Wow, that looks like an old shoe box I kept by my stereo on the shelf above my desk years ago[+/- a few cassettes].

i pert near always listen to full albums still too. listening on computer hasn't changed that for me.

Among albums released during my lifetime:

Pearl Jam -- Vitalogy
Sponge -- Wax Ecstatic
Weezer -- Pinkerton
Eminem -- Slim Shady LP
Beck -- Midnite Vultures
Gigolo Aunts -- Major Themes & Minor Chords
Pedro the Lion -- Winners Never Quite
Sleater-Kinney -- The Woods
Cat Power -- The Greatest

&, of course, the classics:

Leonard Cohen -- Songs of Leonard Cohen
The Clash -- Sandinista
AC/DC -- Back in Black

Top of the top listens, by number of plays, though -- prolly Pedro & AC/DC.

I just realized I might have to change my answer to Green Day Dookie

holy shit gg allin and the monkees on the same tape?

You studied that a little more closely than I did.

I think also it might be because I have less time now that I'm working full time and taking classes after work. Before I had time to lay in bed and completely focus on an album, while I still listen to the same amount of music the quality is lesser. Also in Korea I don't have a car, so I have to ride buses and subways which are crowded and noisy so I can't focus on the music the same. Usually I choose to just listen to shuffle, or a genius mix or whatever. At home I end up listening to music in the back ground while cleaning or cooking or whatever more, and having less time to just be focused on the music. That being said by being able to have all my music in one place has had a major change on my listening habits, but I'm making an effort to try and listen to the stuff I've been downloading in sequence and in one sitting more.

This or Red Medicine by Fugazi.

After some thought I can safely append to my list the following candidates:

R.E.M. - Murmur
Modest Mouse - The moon and Antarctica
Low - Things we lost in the fire
Beatles - Abbey Road
Beulah - Yoko
Dave Brubreck Quartet - Time out

It'll be a tie between Paul's Boutique and Mister Bungle (s/t).

Assume it's this:

Goddammit, it's probably still matchbox 20's 'Yourself Or Someone Like You'...

Probably Sonic Youth-Goo. My brother gave me the tape when I was ten or eleven and it was that and I think a Depeche Mode and Midnight Oil cassette single (also hand me downs from my brother) made up my entire collection at the time. It's an album that I don't think I have ever stopped listening to.

Though according to iTunes, at least the past five years that I have had this computer, I have listened to Unwound-Leaves Turn Inside You more than anything during that time.

I feel like I haven't listened to Leaves Turn Inside You nearly enough.

Without a doubt: AC/DC's "Back in Black"

Got it on tape probably 3 years after it's release and it's been in the rotation off and on ever since. Even during my HEAVY jam band years.

Gotta go with Matthew Sweet -- Girlfriend

It's the one CD that my wife loved instantly when I introduced it to her. So I can't go wrong when I play it now. As opposed to last week's reaction to the Hold Steady: "Does every song suck this bad?"

Chicks just don't get The Hold Steady, for some reason.

I bought these albums in the order specified below, and I remember spending a disporportionate amount of time playing them compared to everything else.

The Cure - Disintegration
Enigma - The Screen Behind the Mirror
Missy Elliott - So Addictive
New Radicals - Maybe You've Been Brainwashed Too
Burial - Untrue
The-Dream - Love vs. Money
