Automatic for The People by REM is the one album I go back to more than any other

Every song is a work of genius but sometimes the song Night swimming just gives be a big hug when I'm down

somewhere

Actually Op said plural so I'll list a few more

Obviously with Spotify I tend to listen to compilations of artists so the other albums I play in full more than any other by just one artist

Bat out of Hell....Meatloaf

First time I heard it was at a house party at the first Debs I went to and even now if it goes on in a crowd then everyone sings along and it makes you feel young again

The lexicon of Love ...ABC

The perfect pop album

My favorite Faded Fantasy by Damien Rice

The perfect album to listen to when your marriage is falling apart

Rio.... Duran Duran

Still one of my favorite bands and go to see them every time they play here

The Joshua Tree by U2

Because I wouldn't have flown half way around the world to see them live if they didn't mean so much to me as an Irish Man who admires them so much and this album is a classic

Probably urban hymns

Velvet morning is so good . Alongside sonnet , drugs don’t work, this time and space and time it’s a work of genius

Bends on the same level

High and dry, fake plastic trees , bullet Proof, black star and the amazing nice dream

I was fortunate enough the see the original on 1993. No matter what's happened in Vegas, nothing and I mean nothing topped what they did back then.
