This is for people who listen to one artist or album (or even song!) for months or more. Naturally, if you spend 80% of your time listening to the Beatles' White Album, and the rest alternating between other things you like, that still qualifies.

Chess, the rock opera; cast recording with Idina Menzel, Adam Pascal, and Josh Groban.

Album:
The Knife - Silent Shout
While certainly not my favourite album, for some reason I can listen to it on repeat numerous times without getting tired of it.

Band:
Porcupine Tree
Why? The musical spectrum they cover is so vast that they make most other music seem claustrophobic in comparison, and they're my personal favourite band.

That's a great record.

I'm going through another Leonard Cohen patch. The eighties stuff, particularly 'I'm Your Man'.

I absolutely love Silversun Pickups, "Swoon", "Panic Switch" and the whole album. I'll really like Broken Balls, "The High Road" single too. I haven't bought the CD Yet.

I've grown more interesting in Japanese manga and animation, so I keep finding my musical tastes heading that way as well... I'm really getting into The Alfee lately. I have listened to Kitaro in the past and have started checking out more of his work as well, which is certainly a far swing from The Alfee. I often take to music song by song, however, only getting interested in a group when it's something quite new or that I had not appreciated before but that had some really great stuff. A couple of years ago I finally clicked with the Kinks, for example, and got into just one album by Sean Lennon (he doesn't have much to choose from). This past year I found another sole album by Damien Poupart-Taussat, and yet another by Kevin Max. But the recent downloads on iTunes listed read totally random, here Placido Domingo, there Spike Jones, Bobby Darin, Mika, Peter Gabriel, Tom Petty, Gene Kelly, Dora the Explorer (that one's for the toddler, though).

Mostly, Japanese music. Anime themes, Miyazaki incidental music, The Alfee, Kitaro, etc.

That's fascinating. I copied and pasted this to my memo to explore myself. I use to listen to Classic Disney Songs from the cartoon/movies. Actually I often wonder what happened to those records because I want to listen to them again. Time to search for them on CD.
