Popular music is very dynamic...it is constantly going in and out of style. Good music, though, will always be good music! I was thinking to myself, "Self, what albums have I enjoyed for the longest?" I still regularly enjoy Blues Traveler: Four, Crash Test Dummies: God Shuffled His Feet, Smashing Pumpkins: Siamese Dream, etc. (Enjoying my entire collection of albums has become much easier since I converted them all to electronic form and organized them on my 'puter...I highly recommend it!) What albums have you bought in the distant past, but still regularly enjoy? Please let me know by leaving a comment!

Just busted out Beastie Boys - Paul's Boutique. For being an album that is almost 23 years old, it still sound just as fantastic today as it did then. Guns and Roses - Appetite for destruction is one of the few albums that every single song is good. Violent Femmes first album is the same way. Also been listening to Public Enemy - Takes a Nation, Slayer - Reign in Blood, The Mars Volta - Deloused in the Comatorium and Spoon - Gimme Fiction. - Darrick
I wish I could break out some of my old albums, but they are all on tape. I don't have any way to play them. Maybe I should go to one of those antique malls and look for a player. -jason
Jason, we got rid of our cassette players, too. I feel your pain!
I am a die-hard Billy Joel Fan, nit, like Jason, most of those are on tape. :( The one CD I always go back to though is Elton John Live with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. I think because I got it in college at a used CD place, and was really excited to hear pop combined with symphony so beautifully. At the time, all of my musician peers swore up and down that their favorite every day listens consisted of the great Jazz Greats and other obscures. For real? Nobody listened to the Dixie Chicks or Ben Folds Five? I must have been really immature musically (and I wanted to educate children!). -Erin
There is no band as talented as Journey. Well, maybe Chicago. But then again, I have always been a huge Bee Gee's fan. OK, I'll shut up now. I can listen to all of them because my wonderful son helped set me up with an IPOD. Mom
Journey, Pet Shop Boys, Green Day, REO Speedwagen...the list goes on and on for me. But probably the most embarassing one is New Kids On The Block...every time I hear them I am instantly 11 w/ my big glasses, permed hair, & Teen Beat magazine pictures taped to my bedroom walls!
