It's been 5 months since I first heard of and saw The Burning Brides. May 7th, 2004 when they opened for A Perfect Circle. They struck a chord with me for some reason. A trio that sounded more like a quintet, their sound was so plain but so damn effective. A grunge act with solos that sound like they came out of a Metallica record. And the singing? Oh God the singing...some of the most powerful screams I've ever heard. Yeah, they struck a huge chord with me. They quickly became my 3rd favorite band ever. I bought the albums and have been listening to them since. I usually listen to a record for about 2 months before I get bored of it. But the 'Brides have yet to age to me. It sounds everybit as good as it did the first time I heard them. Not only that, but within maybe 2 months I learned to play nearly every one of their songs -- solos included and without any tabs; just my ears.

Seeing them again during their very own absolutely flawless show two months ago only made me love them more. Some might say I'm obsessed? Maybe. I just hope I never get sick of their records. They rock too damn much.

 

[Alucard]

Most listened to albums...ever?

Pink Floyd - Division Bell, Wish You Were Here, Dark Side of the Moon
Radiohead - OK Computer, Kid A
Explosions in the Sky - The Earth Is Not a Cold Dead Place
Broken Social Scene - You Forgot It In People
Wilco - Yankee Hotel Foxtrot
Doves - The Last Broadcast
Matthew Good Band - Beautiful Midnight

I've killed some of these albums for myself, but I can still at least appreciate them each time I put them on today.

 

[WHOAguitarninja]

Emperor - Anthems to the Welkin at Dusk

Dream Theater - Metropolis Pt.2

Opeth - Still Life

Soilwork - The Chainheart Machine

I think Pain of Salvation's "Remedy Lane" is going to become one of them as well.

EDIT-

How did I forget...Katatonia's "Last Fair Deal Gone Down". I've probably listened to that more than any of the others.

 

[6.8]

Radiohead OK Computer. I had stopped listening to this album altogether for a year. when I put it in my CD player for the first time in a year (around the time when Kid A was announced) it was a complete rediscovery. I loved the album even more than before. I was mercilessly owned by an album I had already listened to hundreds of time.

Honorable mentions:
Radiohead Kid A
Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon
Pixies Doolittle

 

[Jim Bowie]

Five Iron Frenzy - The End Is Near

I still need to pick up Meadowlands. I've heard the Wrens and had the entire album on my comp a while ago but I'd REALLY like to own the actual CD. Excellent stuff, although I don't totally get the Doves comparison. Haha.

 

[=W=]

Pinkerton and The Blue Album, of course. I also wore the crap out of The Darkness' Permission to Land late last year. Most recently, I've been playing Chutes Too Narrow, Absolution, and Hot Fuss. Plus, I've made a lot of Best Of mixes for certain bands that I listen to all the time (Ben Folds, Built to Spill, Weezer b-sides). And an album I know I can always turn to no matter how I feel - The Colour and the Shape. There's a number of others that I listened to nonstop when they were released, but those are the ones of the top of my head.

 

[demon]

Probably DSOTM, and Superdrag's Regretfully Yours because it has a personal nostalgic/sentimental value to me.

Head Trip in Every Key > In the Valley of Dying Stars > Regretfully Yours > Last Call for Vitriol

Eh, maybe. But like I said, it has a really strong nostalgic and sentimental value for me that's hard to explain. Just listening to it makes me feel like I'm reliving the summer of 96 (by far my best summer ever, and when the album came out).

Ah, awesome. Maybe it's because I stumbled across Doves and The Wrens around the same time, but I think they're styled somewhat similarly. Could just be me. *shrug*

[GG-Duo]

depends, possibly Lonesome Crowded West...

i've found that the albums that I listen to most aren't necessarily the "Best" albums. for example, I find Kid A really draining to listen to. so I don't listen to it all that much.

 

[Dilbert]

Some of those albums are awfully new to qualify for a "most listened to" status. I'll just list the ones that I can say I've listened to 100+ times in my life.

"Historical albums" (wouldn't listen to them now, don't own a copy anymore):

Def Leppard, Hysteria and Pyromania
Metallica, Master of Puppets and ...And Justice For All
Iron Maiden, Live After Death
Guns 'n' Roses, Appetite For Destruction
Ministry, Psalm 69

"Current" albums:

U2, Achtung Baby and The Joshua Tree
Nine Inch Nails, The Downward Spiral
DJ Shadow, ...Endtroducing
Radiohead, OK Computer and The Bends
Beck, Odelay
Counting Crows, August And Everything After
Guided By Voices, Bee Thousand, Alien Lanes, and Under The Bushes, Under The Stars
Eels, Electro-shock Blues

 

[Diablos]

Gish, Siamese, Pisces Iscariot, Mellon Collie, Adore, The Bends, OK Computer, My Iron Lung EP, Something About Airplanes, The Photo Album, Effloresce, Daydream Nation, Goo, Dirty, Washing Machine, Nurse, De Stijl, White Blood Cells, Blue Album, Summerteeth, Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, A Ghost is Born, The Colour and the Shape, There is Nothing Left to Lose, It Still Moves

These are probably the albums I have listened to the most. Some definite, some maybe (depends on if I still like them as time goes on).

Burning Brides are a cool band.
