Whats an Album that STOLE weeks/months of your time relentlessly. I'll go first.

The first 3 "Glamtera" albums were in constant rotation when I was very young.
Then it was the first 3 Metallica, Exodus and Slayer albums.
Then the first 4 Taylor Swift CDs.
 
Not too many options when you're a broke kid living in Bumfuck Minnesota circa 1983.
:LOL:
Yeah no doubt. The college station had a decent rock and metal show once a week and then the oldies stations which have almost gone away completely now. If you wanted to hear blues you had to know some hippies with a record collection, lol.
 
I have so many, don’t think I could list them all. A few off the top of my head:

Killer Dwarfs - Stand Tall
Axenstar - Far from Heaven
Yngwie - several
Skid Row - first album
TNT - Knights off the New Thunder
AC/DC - several
AIC - Facelift and Dirt
Children of Bodom - several
Falconer - Chapters from a Vale Forlorn
Dream Evil - dragonslayer and Evilized
Symphony X - The Odyssey
Motley Crue - shout at the Devil
White Lion - Pride
 
Sabbath - master of reality
Slayer - Reign, seasons, South of heaven
Pantera - cowboys from hell
Slipknot - self title, Iowa
System of a down - steal this album, toxicity
Deathspell Omega - Paracletus, chaining the katechon
Nevermore - dead heart in a dead world
Reverend horton heat - smoke em if you got em

I listen to stuff on repeat like I have a mental defect, those were all particularly over-listened to though lol
 
I used to dub music off the radio all the time. Problem was, by the time I put in the tape and smashed the record button, I would miss the first portion of each song. Nothing like listening to 3/4 of Night Ranger's You Can Still Rock in America.
:LOL:
Brings me back!

I used to listen to The King Bisquit Flower Hour in the late 70’s and early 80’s and dubbed the shit out of songs from it. I had partial songs from a lot of cool bands 😜
 
I went through several copies of these cassettes because they were played so much in my Cutlass Supreme:

Maiden - Piece of Mind
Trouble - Psalm 9
Mercyful Fate -Melissa
Priest - Screaming for Vengeance
 
The Great Misdirect stayed in the CD player in my van for months when it came out. Every drive, every day for months.

I did that with all of the CD’s I listed, but another one I guess I should list is Pink Floyd, another brick in the wall. I literally wore the tape player out in my truck I played it so much. I used to work a super shitty factory job 6 days a week mandatory 26 hours overtime 6am to 6pm and Saturdays 6am to noon. That tape got me through a lot - many early mornings to calm my nerves. That job is what funded my first real guitar that wasn’t a pawn shop purchase - a Wolfgang Special and the amp that earned my income for a while and I still own today, a 5150 II.

Dude, this was me on a Saturday, '84-'86 or so back in Perth. University radio would do a metal show once a week and I would have my cassettes at the ready! Then of course I wouldn't catch who they said it was and would go through hell trying to figure out the band. No shazam on a landline phone back then \:D/

Piece of Mind was another one.

I could drop the needle exactly on the part I was learning.
