Which album do you listen to the most?

Not which album is your favourite, but which one do you listen to the most. Some people might argue that these are one and the same but it's not always the case. My top 3 favourite MSP albums are THB, EMG and JFPL but it's JFPL that I actually listen to the most.

So....yeah, you get the picture!

THB. It's my favourite album by any band, it's certainly the Manics album I've listened to the most in my lifetime, and even now I think it's probably the one I reach for when I fancy listening to them. JFPL is probably second at the moment, although GT is probably second overall.

I get what you're saying about some people not necessarily listening to the album they think is the best the most (usually your first album by a band is the one you keep coming back to), but in the Manics' case, I'd say my listening habits are pretty identical to my album ranking order.

It used to be GATS, and it's probably still up there in 'most listened to' overall, as I played it several times a day for several years, but now I usually listen to JFPL and Lifeblood in roughly equal amounts.

Which one do you listen to the most at the moment? Or which one HAVE you listened to to the most? Please clarify!

If it's the former, then amazingly Lifeblood. The latter would probably be The Holy Bible.

I don't think I've listened to any of the albums all the way through for years.

JFPL for me, according to Last.fm

Overall, it'd probably be The Holy Bible though

GT almost definitely. It gives me such a buzz and it's so damn perfect. THB is my favourite album as I think it's best, but understandably doesn't suit all occasions.

According to my ipod it would probably be out of Tigers, Journal or Gold Against The Soul. Can't say out of those three.

Lifeblood, as an album i listen to it the most
I only own journal on vinyl, so that often gets an airing

But does anyone just get a riff or lyric stuck in their head and end up listening to that one song again and again?

I think GT and THB gets somewhat equal amount of spins on my record player. maybe GT a bit more.

I guess "Journal for plague lovers". Then "The holy bible".

Out of the official albums it would definitely be THB followed by EMG and JFPL but I much prefer listening to live stuff as they are such a good live band. The Astoria shows from '92 and '94 and Nynex '97 are my favourites.
