Which album have you listened to the most during lockdown?

Either World Of Echo by Arthur Russell or Snoopy by CS + Kreme for me

This is kind of embarrassing but I listened to Haircut 100's "Pelican West" a lot during lockdown last year

"Pelican West" is a splendid answer.

For me, it was probably "Pretzel Logic", or Daryl Hall's "Sacred Songs"

Probably Ben Monder - Day After Day

Kate NV's Room for the Moon is one I think I've played at least once a month since it started

"Stage Fright" by The Band.

Gillian Welch, Time (The Revelator)

I also got into Joni Mitchell and binged hard on her. But the album i've played the most is def Time.

K-Lone - Cape Cira and Alabaster DePlume - To Cy & Lee might be the most recent ones I’ve played without skipping the most.

Most of 2020 and 2021 I wasn’t obsessed with a particular album or artist, though. It kept changing constantly to keep me sane.

I only have a few cds left, and what's in my car gets listened to the most often, and when you swap them out infrequently, you end up hearing the same things week after week and month after month...In 2020/21, it's been...

The English Beat Keep The Beat: The Very Best Of The English Beat
Peter Gabriel Shaking The Tree: Sixteen Golden Greats
Jamie Woon Mirrorwriting

almost certainly oath bound by summoning

Spotify says Marconi Union's Weightless, Mary Lattimore's Silver Ladders, or Cœur de pirate's soundtrack for Child of Light. These are mostly due to the fact that my kid loves these and they get constant play in the car and before bed.

I guess despite the fact that those weren't necessarily my choices, I'll probably always associate those albums with this time.

Split by Lush

The latest Oranssi Pazuzu I think. Surf the cosmic void and all that

Leonard Cohen "I'm Your Man"

Dream River by Bill Callahan (also the dub version Have Fun With God)

one of the following:

Dua Lipa - Future Nostalgia.
Jane Weaver - Flock.
CHVRCHES - Screen Violence.

listened to all of them of Spotify and vinyl numerous times.

This is a really good question! I think with so many people at home - working, doing remote school, whatever - that I've listened to *less* music than I usually would, and quieter (I'm not a headphones guy). Meanwhile, the kids have been listening to *more* music than usual and screwing up the household algorithms, so when I try to see what I've listened to the most it's this total jumble. Harry Styles, Taylor Swift, Low, Springsteen, Dua Lipa, Encanto soundtrack, Roxy Music, Olivia Rodrigo, Isaac Hayes ...

Ah, easily Cocteau Twins' Heaven or Las Vegas !
I knew about them and had heard some of their 80s stuff as a kid since my sister was into all the new wavy/goth scene then but I never particularly cared.
Then last year, during the first lockdown in France (March/May) I really discovered them (thanks to an ILM thread actually !) and have totally fallen in love with the band.
I remember my Spotify end of year data showing that I listened to them far more than anything else last year.
It's too bad because they were still active (and great) when I was a teenager and into brit/indie bands but I missed them at the time.

Traffic from Paradise by Rickie Lee Jones and The Negatives by Lloyd Cole.

Lapsley - Through Water

I can't listen to Lil Uzi Vert and Fiona Apple's period albums again.

Bark psychosis - hex
Cs + kreme- snoopy
Max b - coke wave

More Blood, More Tracks

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Is0hVNZJTOU sums up how i feel about the whole situation!

I've listened to *less* music than I usually would, and quieter (I'm not a headphones guy).

I'm totally the opposite. Working from home free of office distractions, especially with wife at work and kid back at school during the day, I listen to way more than I ever did. Tons of old jazz, blues and 70s rock mostly, but there's no one album I listened to most.

Another for Snoopy by CS + Kreme, or The Black Breast Has Produced Her Best, Flesh Of My Skin Blood Of My Blood by Keith Hudson.

Microphones in 2020 and Cassandra Jenkins An Overview on Phenomenal Nature, I'd reckon.

And some (home made) Tindersticks compilations specifically sequenced for drinking.

Judee Sill - Heart Food

The Vulgar Boatmen, You and Your Sister

Though in the early days of lockdown, when everything still felt apocalyptic in a meaningful way, it would have been Dylan's Love and Theft, and then Rough and Rowdy Ways once that came out. You and Your Sister was what I listened to most in the middle part of the pandemic, the tedious blurry part where all the days faded into each other.

Prince - Sign O The Times
Kraftwerk - Der Katalog box set
Angelo Badalamenti and David Lynch - The Twin Peaks Archive

Music Has the Right to Children, I'm guessing

The first four Cluster albums on repeat.

Interesting thread. I had assumed most ilxors spend most of their time with new releases.

David Sylvian - Everything & Nothing
Kevin Morby - Singing Saw
Gaze is Ghost - Lapis Cobalt Indigo Blue
XTC - Mummer
Sweep The Leg Johnny - Sto Cazzo
Jethro Tull - Benefit & Stand Up

Singing Saw would be high up on my list too...but someway off The Beths' Future Me Hates Me and Prefab's Jordan/Swoon.

weirdly, probably Morbid Angel's Altars of Madness, mostly cos I got a vinyl copy last year and been playing it alot this year.

It's probably something from my bedtime headphone rotation, which for most of the pandemic has been either Tetsu Inoue's Inland, Eliane Radigue's Adnos I-III or Roland Kayn's Tektra, depending on which flavor of cosmic vista I'm in the mood for.

i have had the same music on my ipod shuffle since early 2020 and i listen to it while walking, so probably 5+ hours/week. Can, Shirley Collins, Fela Kuti, Felt, Feelies, Horse Lords, a collection of Colombian cumbia, lots of other random things but a very "me" mixture

It really helped me develop some kind of continuity during a time in my life that everything was in upheaval. I have listened to other music but the stuff on my shuffle has been repeated countless times

Oh Yob's Catharsis is also on there

ooooh Yob

that song is so epic!!! i have a rule that when it comes on i have to listen to the whole thing

Going back to adolescence. This was a revelation for me. It still sounds great four decades later.

this song is also on my shuffle and really lights me up every time i hear it

^love that one, gonna listen to it right now!

I don't have an answer to this thread. My listening habits have been affected by covid but if anything I abandon albums faster now rather than dwell on particular ones

Another vote for Snoopy, Peel by KMRU, All The Mirrors In My House by His Name Is Alive and Ov Biospheres and Sacred Grooves by PWOG

Wait I forgot a really important one -- the entire Zero Set album on shuffle, s/o to the person upthread listening to Cluster on repeat

Gigi Masin - Calypso

pretty much same here, and probably related to the same thread, ha! cocteau fever was in the air in 2020/21. that pair of musicians, that deadly duo, so good!
