Stevie Wonder

Johny Cash
Iggy Pop and the Stooges


Actually I am just going to say my whole record collection, otherwise my post would be way too large, and I haven't even hit my jazz, blues, or hip hop collection yet.

These are the albums in my iTunes that have earned a place in permanent rotation.

Curtis Mayfield - Superfly
Lamb - Lamb
Pearl Jam - Rearviewmirror (Double Compilation)
Radiohead - OK Computer
Wes Montgomery Trio - Guitar on the Go
Bill Evans Trio - Moonbeams
Chet Baker - Why Shouldn't You Cry?
Marvin Gaye - What's Going On?
The Stone Roses - The Stone Roses

Almost any blues.
Almost any classic jazz (none of this new fandangled stuff).
Phish
Dave Matthews
Tragically Hip

Guitar-based rock and boogie blues. Anything appropriate for a child that survived "the summer of love".

And, I'll take the opportunity to cast my vote for the new Genius feature of iTunes! I don't know how it makes up its 25 song selections, but it's good. I'm listening to songs I forgot I owned. Much better than just whacking 11,000 songs on random play. Top marks.

Tragically Hip! Am I the only person outside Canada who's heard that band? I stumbled across their "Fully Completely" album in a bargain bin and wondered why they weren't much more popular. I was reminded of them when I saw the post above and checked out their website. They've released about 10 albums since, but don't list any tour dates. I thought I'd try and buy "Yer Favourites" a compilation album, but my online music seller doesn't even list any Tragically Hip. Good band.

Prefab Sprout - Steve McQueen
Stars- Set yourself on Fire
The Clash - London Calling
Billy Bragg & Wilco - Mermaid Avenue

I could go on.:)

The Dixie Chicks - partly because I think it's un-American to take part in a boycott because somebody exercised their first amendment rights.

Ray Charles! All of it.

Anything by David Sides...i highly recommend going to his youtube, the way he interprates modern songs to piano is simply amazing

The past few years, my favorite album has been Bob Marley's Live at the Roxy.

Even though Marley didn't make my list (mainly because I have to be in the mood for reggae so I didn't think it qualified as music I never tire of) I do have a lot of his albums. I'd say Survival is my favourite. I love that if you listen to any particular musician in Marley's music they play a fairly minimalistic part but it comes together so well to create a complex whole.

Skyhooks - Living In The 70's
The Tubes - What Do You Want From Live
Divinyls - any of their releases



.

Arctic Monkeys
Maximo Park
Boards of Canada

Just about anything from DJMix. It's my new white noise I swear...

I notice in the above post that BidDave never tires of listening to The Tubes by The Tubes

... well I never tire of listening to anything released by the Tubes from their debut release up to and including "The Completion Backwards Principle" ...

Too right, VT!
In fact I recently went on a huge nostalgia jag and watched Fee and the others strut their stuff on YouTube. Worth a look! Saw them in London as a teen - they were fantastic!

I bought their "What Do You Want From Live" Double LP way back in 1975 or 76, I can't remember ... but I loved it so much I bought every other LP up until The Completion Backwards Principle ... the release prior to that; Remote Control is a gem IMHO but Completion Backwards was the beginning of the end, in my books .... You are very lucky to have seen them live ... I don't know if they ever came to Aust ... YouTube is great for stuff of the nostalgic type ... BTW, they have an official MySpaceMusic page and I wonder if you have been to it, or if you recognise the live songs they have up ... I listened to them the other day and the sound of the music was great and I even heard a song I'd never heard before that I liked, called the Weebee Dance or something ..

I might be the only 18 year old in existance to admit to listening to Billy Joel. And to admit that I could never tire of him. :]

Queen as well. And Johnny Cash. Oh, and to be honest, I cannot get sick of Eminem either.

many folk songs i never heard, give me some songs.

Pink Floyd

never tired of listening

anything by guster or ben folds

I was checking iTunes for this album and was surprised to see an Eno album for the price of a single track. Turns out the album (Neroli) only has one track. The fact that it goes for 58 minutes seems to be irrelevent :).

Funny, Thursday Afternoon is also a single track but that is AU$17.99? You pay AU$16.30 for an extra two minutes.

Almost my entire collection, about 350 gb. Everything from Ella Fitzgerald (love me some Ella) to the Sex Pistols, from Johnny Cash to Jaco Pastorius...

But.... I am a Deadhead to the core.

try these.

I bought Neroli. Very ambient keyboard. Made for a rather eerie soundtrack while I was searching info on POW camps in Ambon.

It's always nice to know there folks out there listening to the same stuff.
Mine's got Arvo Part(Amazing Estonian composer),loads of eighties synthesizer soul,Coldplay,Nina Simone,Trojan records compilations and Cyndi Lauper...

IMHO, anything Moody Blues (particularly Justin Hayward) or Electric Light Orchestra (particularly Jeff Lynne)!

VNV Nation's As it Fades and As it Fades (2nd Movement) are currently tied for all time favorite.

Got some Orbital on right now, why don't I play this more often...

Some Chemical Brothers is pretty good
