I listened to Live from a Shark Cage by Papa M every night for about a year as I went to sleep.

I listened to A Love Supreme every morning and evening for about a year when I was 17, and riding the bus to school.

I listened to The White Birch and Frigid Stars alternately for several winters obsessively.

But I don't much listen to those records anymore. I think it might be the 1928 Recordings by Mississippi John Hurt. I got that when I was 14 or so, and I still listen to it probably every month.
