I guess I should include mine in this thread being the threadstarter and all...

1. Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band - The Beatles
My friends Dad was a massive Beatles fan and would listen to this in his van when he would take us places all the time. He died when I was in my early 20s so I guess the last time I heard this would have been in my mid - late teens in the early 90s.

2. Pet Sounds - The Beach Boys
Like 2 songs off this, bought this for next to nothing around 10 years ago so I guess that was the last time I ever played the whole thing.

3. Revolver - The Beatles
The only Beatles album I'll play by choice. I think the last time I heard it was when I included it in the Urban 100, so around 6 years ago.

4. Highway 61 Revisited - Bob Dylan
Bought it around 5 or 6 years ago, found it a bit boring, never played it again.

5. Rubber Soul - The Beatles
See Sgt Pepper

6. What's Going On - Marvin Gaye
I seem to remember about 3 or 4 years ago where we did this Mods review albums suggested by other Mods. R-T suggested this album so I listened to it then.

7. Exile on Main Street - The Rolling Stones
8. London Calling - The Clash
I have a thing about listening to double albums at work (Yesterday it was Tago Mago) and I listen to these two albums quite often, I would easily have listened to them sometime in the last 3 months.

9. Blonde on Blonde - Bob Dylan
According to Last FM I last played this album on 1st December 2006, which was a couple of days after I saw Primal Scream in London, I seem to remember buying this in Gatwick airport on the way home to make up the numbers in a buy 3 for the price of 2 thing they had going.

10. The Beatles ("The White Album") - The Beatles
Had this bought for me for my birthday, also for that birthday I received Radiohead's Amnesiac album when it had just came out so that should date it for you. Never played it the whole way through.

11. The Sun Sessions - Elvis Presley
Never heard it, wouldn't mind though.

12. Kind of Blue - Miles Davis
Downloaded a torrent of Miles Davis stuff around 5 years ago. Think I played this once around that time. Not really a jazz person but I prefer On The Corner & Bitches Brew.

13. Velvet Underground and Nico - The Velvet Underground
If I ever listen to The Velvet Underground it's without Nico, not heard the whole thing but the bits I have heard put me off.

14. Abbey Road - The Beatles
See Sgt Pepper

15. Are You Experienced? - The Jimi Hendrix Experience
Whenever I listen to Hendrix I usually put on Electric Ladyland, Axis Bold as Love, The BBC Sessions or a live album, I hardly listen to this album for some reason. The last time I would have heard this was when I was uploading it onto my hard drive when I first bought my computer (23rd Jun 2007 ... thanks again Last FM)

16. Blood on the Tracks - Bob Dylan
Bought it the same time as Blonde On Blonde (last listened 23 December 2006 - Last FM)

17. Nevermind - Nirvana
Mid 90s at least. didn't even listen to it when I included it in the Urban 100

18. Born to Run - Bruce Springsteen
Never

19. Astral Weeks - Van Morrison
Never, Will probably end up checking it out in the future.

20. Thriller - Michael Jackson
One of my best friends at school was a massive Jacko fan, in fact his whole fucking family were. When you went to their house as you walked through the front door you were greeted by a massive mirror with Jacko in his Billie Jean gear in such a pose that it looked like he had been impaled up the arse with a wooden stake and whenever I went around there he'd always listen to the Thriller album so much so I never felt the need to ever listen to it again. I'm guessing this would have been around 1988/89.

21. The Great Twenty-Eight - Chuck Berry
Never even heard of this album until today.

22. Plastic Ono Band - John Lennon
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAA

Yeah **** off.

23. Innervisions - Stevie Wonder
I love love love love love this album.
In fact I listened to it at work yesterday

24. Live at the Apollo - James Brown
Owned 2 & 3 for years, only got around to getting the original very recently. Not had chance to hear it yet.

25. Rumours - Fleetwood Mac
Used to work with a woman who would play their greatest hits over and over and over and over and over again.
She never married.
I wonder why.

Oh Rumours?
Never heard it, never want to either.

26. The Joshua Tree - U2
Another friend at school, this one totally obsessed by U2, played this to death at his house when it came out and for the next subsequent 3 years. so last time I heard it would have been around 1990. Saw the same guy for the first time in 20 years at a rock festival in the summer. He was almost in tears at how awful they were at Glastonbury and how much of a parody of themselves they had become.

27. King of the Delta Blues Singers, Vol. 1 - Robert Johnson
Listened to the Complete Recordings around 5 or 6 years ago.

28. Who's Next - The Who
Never really liked this album much but it has a couple of decent songs on it. Like Are You Experienced I last heard it when I put it on my new computer in the summer of 2007.

29. Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin
If I want to listen to Led Zeppelin I'll put on LZIII or Presence. Hardly touch this one. I'm guessing sometime in the mid 90s was when I last heard this.

30. Blue - Joni Mitchell
The only time I'll ever listen to this is if some hot chick happens to have it on at the time I'm about to plough her.
