We probably all have a few that we know or hear and instantly have to identify to hear again.
I profess no musical prowess, so it's nothing technical that wows me, just the sheer pleasure of the sound
Some of those currently on my re-play list are
Piano Man, Billy Joel
Take me to Church, Hosier
Empire States of Mind Alicia Keys
Adagio for Strings, Barber
Suggestions for wider listening please?

I've got stuck listening to Black Hole by Griff and 4th Day Prayer by Allison Russell on repeat quite a lot recently...
The former is a really catchy upbeat broken heart song and the latter is a very moving backbeat broken life song.

Also I can listen to The Best is Yet to Come by Mike and the Mechanics quite a lot.

Well we agree on something, courtesy of Alicia, but I cant warm to your suggestions.
They help me understand why Addagio for Strings isnt for you. What do you take to help you listen to that Wedding Present shite? After 30 seconds I need a paracetamol

Did I say Adagio for Strings wasn't for me? Nope. On the contrary. I suppose like many of those born in the 70s first intro to it was it's use in Platoon. Utterly transfixed from that moment.

Fosco, I fear I will never quite understand Arthur McBride and the next two don't do it for me either, but simply watching never mind listening to Sheku Kanneh-Mason was fascinating.
64 million watches for Psycho Killer, but it will only be the one for me.
I fear the issue is that i want to simply listen. I'm not convinced I need to understand, especially general levy

SirW, yes, on another day definitely Coldplay.
I think there's a correlation between angry people and the 'noise' they need to listen to.

I - like any self-respecting and, dare I say it, successful lawyer - have a degree of OCD
When I buy a new album I listen to it relentlessly until I am generally familiar with the material
I am currently listening a lot to Bruckner's 9th and Miles Davies' In a Silent Way (the one immediately before Bitches Brew), but I don't think either is of the kind that people would put on a loop
Once I am familiar with an album I will often skip the songs I like the most - I want them to stay fresh and enjoyable for longer
The albums that I am familiar with that I have listened to the most in recent times (gym, car, out and about walking) are Honey by Robyn and the latest Tame Impala album (can't remember the title)

Think it all depends on your mood.
Rage against the machine if you’re in the mood to mosh and shout obscenities - very cathartic.
Cranberries for a good, melodic sing a long
Beautiful South (Woman in the Wall) to consider how horrific domestic abuse is but with such a presentable face to the public
Enya for beautiful background music
Guns’n’Roses/Bon Jovi/Billy Joel for fun
Probably the main single I could listen to on repeat is Kiss from a Rose by Seal.

Interesting choices Jim. Will check out the Woman in the Wall.
I presume with Seal you're thinking of Risky lol.

Utopia (In Game 3) and other classic Amiga soundtracks by Barry Leitch - great ambient music, backing tracks for life.
Aisha, Star of the East’s Give Me Fire, known in Britain pretty much solely as the Football Cliches theme tune - a bouncing bit of Siberian disco - has the energy required to accelerate the Lazettee through their rambunctious getting dressed for school routine.
Oh and last night I listened to the Gremlins tune on repeat while cooking asian fusion.

Some of the other new ones for me:

the author - Luz
Somewhere - The Blaze feat. Octavian
The Moments I’m Missing - Ranji & Whitenoise etc
Due Tramonti - Ludovico Einaudi, Marco Decimo
P.S. You Rock My World - Eels
Quite eclectic..

I don’t usually listen to the same songs or albums on repeat in a literal sense, but I have listened to Kacey Musgrave’s Silver Lining and Bruno Mars’ Locked out of Heaven multiple times in a row in recent times
I am much more likely to listen to something on repeat (to use the wording from the OP) if I have had a drink or two
I have also watched the live version from Stockholm in the late 80s or v early 90s of Gary Moore’s Empty Rooms numerous times in a row, but that’s more for the main guitar solo and the outro solo (both of which are, I think, superb) than the song itself

Have been listening to Bando GZ and his sister.
On relistens over time, Ella and Louis. Just last night was dancing with Mrs D to lots of that on the beach. By which I mean she danced, I swayed.
