Your most played discs of all time?

Make a rough guesstimate. Which ones do you think you've spun the most in your life? Pick something like 3. Vinyl, tape, CD, streaming etc, don't matter.

I'm going back to the early-to-mid 90's when I first started buying CDs. The first batch I got had Maiden, Metallica, Megadeth etc. They owned my player for years.

I'm going to guess my most played are:

Megadeth - Youthanasia
Metallica - Metallica
Iron Maiden - Fear of the Dark

And unsurprisingly, I'm not a huge fan of any of them today. But they do hold a special place in that small diminishing part of my brain where old memories are stored.

Fun topic. Those are mainly cds from the early 90s, back when i started my collection.

Some titles:

Iron Maiden - fear of the dark
Metallica - s/t
Guns N Roses - appetite for destruction
Overkill - i hear black
Pantera - vulgar display of power
Skid Row - subhuman race
Sepultura - arise / chaos ad
Kiss - creatures of the night
Judas Priest - painkiller

All those are still in my collection and in perfect shape too.

Dangerous Toys- S/T first on cassette then on CD. I still listen to it a lot.
Vengeance Rising- Once Dead, love that album cassette and CD
Metallica- Garage Inc, C/D and streaming. Their best in my opinion.

Bride - Silence is Madness

Vengeance Rising - Human Sacrifice (my first cassette went Into The Abyss with me and only I came back).

Rush - 2112 - I say this because it's the only album I've owned on cassette, vinyl and CD.

There is a few.

Edge of Sanity - The Spectral Sorrows
Slayer - Show No Mercy
Ozzy - Bark at the Moon
Judas Priest - Sad Wings of Destiny

Not all..  but definitely albums that spent a lot of time in my car!


Pantera - CFH
Slayer - Seasons in the Abyss
Suicidal Tendencies - LCR
Whitesnake - 1987
Tourniquet - Psycho Surgery
Judas Priest - Painkiller
Ozzy - Diary of a Madman
Megadeth - Rust in Peace
Sepultura - Arise

Just off the top of my head ... Celtic Frost - To Mega Therion, Mercyful Fate - Don't Break the Oath, Napalm Death - Scum, Judas Priest - Sin After Sin, Morbid Angel - Blessed are the Sick, Fear Of God - Within the Veil, Slayer - Hell Awaits.

Probably:

Sepultura - Beneath the Remains
Angel Dust - Bleed
Testament - The Gathering
Iron Maiden - Somewhere in Time
Dream Theater - Metropolis II: Scenes From A Memory
Melechesh - Emissaries
Opeth - Morningrise

I know there are more, but these popped into my head because I've played them too many times to even count.

Hands down, I can say for whatever reason(s) that RIOT - Fire Down Under may well be the most played album I have ever owned.I know that it has been in my collection since 1981 and that out of all the music that I have had since (or even before), it is the most returned to. Still play the crap out of it a ton. There is no other release that I do that to from that era.

Just off the top of my head:

Judas Priest - Painkiller
Massacre - From Beyond
Slayer - South of Heaven
Death - Spiritual Healing
Suicidal Tendencies - Lights, Camera, Revolution
Iron Maiden - Somewhere in Time
Anthrax - Among the Living
Carcass - Heartwork
Kreator - Coma of Souls
Metal Church - The Dark

Mercyful Fate, Don’t Break the Oath
Judas Priest, Screaming for Vengeance
Pink Floyd, Wish you were here
Candlemass, Epicus Doomicus Metallicus
Slayer, Show no Mercy
Black Sabbath, Paranoid
Lots more I’ve played a tone, but those are probably the top ones.

Scorpions: blackout and face the heat

Testament: low

69-76 Zeppelin
73-78 Skynyrd
70-80 Black Sabbath
74-80 UFO
74-81 Rush
72-82 Scorps
74-82 Priest
80-86 Maiden
80-84 MSG
69-79 Allman Brothers Band
67-78 Grateful Dead
73-82 Aerosmith
74-78 KISS
74-79 Kansas

Oh yeah remember turning the Queensyche EP cassette over & over & over at the park while playing frisbee golf, smoking doobies, and drinking Micky's Big Mouth when that came out.

Classic stuff by KISS, Maiden, Priest, AC/DC, Sabbath, Metallica, Slayer, etc.

The first two that come to mind off the top of my head are AC/DC's Let There Be Rock (first rock album I ever owned) and Metallica's Ride The Lightning.

Oh yeah, 70's AC/DC goes between Sabbath & UFO.

One of my most played CDs that I still actually like is "Streets" by Savatage. It was my first 'Tage disc and I still regularly spin tracks off it.

I own it and hardly listen to it. Saw the tour in Santa Barbara, Calif. w/ Armored Saint & Fates Warning opening. Killer gig

Another frequently played album:

Dokken - Back for the Attack
Queensryche - Operation Mindcrime
Whitecross - s/t

I didn’t want to reply to this one….but I honestly thought about.
The DOORS without question.
The next would be BLACK SABBATH.
I listened to these bands with a real wonder.
ALICE COOPER fascinated me also.
For discs ? Greatest hits. All 3.

I remember buying Iron Maiden's Powerslave on cassette during this period and playing the hell out of it.
