On those days when you have so much music to listen to and you can’t settle on anything what album or piece of music do you listen to to get you back in the mood. Mine is DOVES the last broadcast it has a bit of everything guitars, acoustic, gospel. It expands my mind and opens my mind and takes me down so many different routes to different music. It reminds me how lucky I am to have so much good music at my hands and my own room to listen in. So what is your go to music and why

A great album, and it gets played regularly.
I don’t think I have a go-to album as such, a few recent purchases will get played more often, as will a few old favourites. And if I do have a go-to, it would only be for a week or so, until I move on to something else.

Because Mrs twofifty loves this album as much as I do and because it’s a perfect album in every sense, mood, lyrics, musicians (Lowell George is a hero of mine) this is the one for the twofifties

The original is often the best.
An essential at any audition (much to likely any dealer’s dismay 
). Works a system in so many ways - slam, detail, speed. Strange how such a hard sounding album can reveal subtleties.
SWMBO terms this “noise”, but has her own pet selection.

No particular go-to album - it completely depends on meed at the time. Could be anything from heavy rock, to blues, to tragic opera, to prog rack, to dramatic orchestral, to chamber music.

Wow! Five posts in and nobody has mentioned DSOTM or ‘Brothers In Arms’. We’re making progress!

Two excellent albums but neither would be my ‘Go To’ album, if I had to pick one album I’d probably go for Eric Clapton and Journeyman which is one of my all times favourites but there are so many I could reach for, a lot depends on my mood when I sit-down.
I could also throw in The Stranger from Billy Joel or Springsteen’s Born in the USA both are albums I really enjoy, if I’m after something more relaxing I might go for Dexter Gordon - One Flight Up or Diana Krall - Live in Paris or Norah Jones - Come away with me.
So so many that I could reach for, it really does depend on what mood I’m in.

Listened to it over Christmas , ordered it on CD rather than vinyl as I wanted the full concert rather than turning the LP over

I’ve tried so many times to have a single album. However it depends upon the mood and if Mrs B is in the room or not.
Ended up making a playlist titled The Best. Most of the albums so far mentioned have tracks in there.

I once had the opportunity to tell Dave Stewart that the eponymous album by Hatfield and the North had probably brought me more pleasure than anything else in my collection. I listen to it regularly to this day and as I know it so well, it is a good system evaluation album.
