I know this is WAY out of left field but... 

 

See the source image

 

Listened to it every night so in Jester so I could block out the noise in the hall.  Never got old.  

Dude, that's fucking hilarious.  When we were in college, if you opened the CD player and saw Enigma the first question is "Who got laid?"

Here's my choice:

About 6 months before I got turned on to the album, a friend of mine and I heard it at a party and were making fun of the "devil worshipping music".  Few months latet and I'm listening to it every night.

Good call on Red Headed Stranger (my favorite album of all time even though I'm a 60s / 70s rocker).  And whoever mentioned Zep III much obliged, my favorite Zep album.

Haven't seen it yet but I'll add Pink Floyd Animals.  Also The Who Quadrophenia.

Edit:  forgot my man Neil Young:  Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere; Rust Never Sleeps; After the Gold Rush

I never skip any tracks on these albums and I never need to take a "break" from them. I especially find myself being able to listen to well-made live albums over and over. Also, some of these I associate with good/fun times in my life where the album feels like a soundtrack from my life.

I also have to leave off certain albums that I, overall, like better than these because radio/commercials/media/myself have all combined to hit breaking points at one time or another. I need like a 6 month hiatus just to listen to the first track of certain five star masterpiece albums. "Black Dog," "Sympathy for the Devil," "Whole Lotta Love," "Welcome to the Jungle," "Whiskey River" can all turn into a beating if you try hard enough.

U2 - Achtung Baby

Springsteen - Darkness on the Edge of Town

Zeppelin - III, Physical Graffiti; Soundtrack to the Song Remains the Same

James McMurtry - Where'd You Hide the Body; Live in Aught Three

Rolling Stones - Sticky Fingers

Leon Russell - Leon Russell; Leon Live

Jimi Hendrix - Live at Winterland

Neil Young - Harvest; Everybody Knows this is Nowhere; Rust Never Sleeps

Bob Dylan - The Bootleg Series Vol. 5: Bob Dylan Live 1975, The Rolling Thunder Revue; Hard Rain

Robert Earl Keen - Gringo Honeymoon

Grateful Dead - Tons of shows that have been formally released, e.g., Dick's Picks Volume 18, To Terrapin: Hartford '77; Cornell 5/8/77

Ryan Adams/Whiskeytown - Jacksonville City Nights; Stranger's Almanac

Willie Nelson - Teatro

Heartless Bastards - Stairs and Elevators

Sam Cooke - One Night Stand! Live at the Harlem Square

James Brown - Live at the Apollo

Antonio Carlos Jobin - Verve Jazz Masters Vol. 13

Otis Redding - Dock of the Bay; Live at the Whisky A Go Go

I'll play. Alphabetical by singer/band:

  1. Alice in Chains - Jar of Flies
  2. Amy Winehouse  (RIP) - Back to Black
  3. Cowboy Junkies - The Trinity Session
  4. Explosions in the Sky - pretty much all of them except Take Care
  5. Genesis - Invisible Touch
  6. The Jayhawks - Rainy Day Music
  7. +LIVE+ - Mental Jewelry
  8. Lyle Lovett - Live in Texas
  9. Mono - pretty much all of them
  10. Mojave 3 - Ask Me Tomorrow -and- Excuses for Travellers
  11. Natalie Merchant - Ophelia -and- Tigerlily
  12. Pink Floyd - Meddle
  13. Robert Earl Keen - Live at the Ryman
  14. The Swell Season - The Swell Season -and- Strict Joy
  15. Steve Vai - Passion and Warfare
  16. Tracy Chapman - Collections
  17. Tesla - 5 Man Acoustical Jam
  18. The Wrens - Meadowland

Some of them demand attention (e.g. Invisible Touch and Mental Jewelry), but there are also a lot of quiet albums that are great to have in the background or to fall asleep to. 

 

[Edit] Adding Barry White - Collections

I know some of mine are Best Of albums, but I don't think are rules here.

Edited by Superhero

AiC JoF is a great call. Awesome sitting-around-drinking record. Some of Jerry's best guitar tones.

Here are two that I never regret putting on:

This one I never tire of, but I sure do have to buy it over and over.  I loan it out, or give it away, and never get it back.
