    yup, it would be but even then, it would totally ballpark guesses

    70's: Sad Wings Of Destiny (I know I listened to this at least once a day for a year or so) and most Floyd albums between 71 and 77, Sardonicus and Crime of The Century as well.
    80's: most likely A Love Supreme & Caravanserai
    90's: Hybris and Vemod must be up there
    00's: no idea

    Probbaly A Passion Play or Relayer.

    I once listened to Relayer 4x in one day when I was a sophmore in HS.

    CD's are albums.

    An album is a collection of things, such as songs.

    I'm guessing it was probably Get Yer Ya Ya's Out or Seconds Out.

    I'm going to take the decades approach too...

    60's - Beatles: Sgt Peppers & Stones: Beggars Banquet (grew up with the British Invasion)
    70's - ELP: Brain Salad Surgery & Crimso: USA (discovered prog as a teenager)
    80's - Minutemen: Double Nickels on the Dime & REM: Chronic Town (took a prog vacation for most of the decade)
    90's - Marillion: The Thieving Magpie & Twelfth Night: Live and Let Live (finally discovered neo-prog)
    00's+ - Pulsar: Strands of the Future & Ange: Le Cimitiere Des Harlequins (got really into French prog)
    Check out my solo project prog band, Mutiny in Jonestown at https://mutinyinjonestown.bandcamp.com/

    Damn, considering I have been listening to albums (CD's & LP's) for over 42 years, this is a hard one to reconstruct, in approx. chronological order:

    Doors: First
    Hendrix: Electric Ladyland
    Trower: Twice Removed from Yesterday
    David Bowie: Ziggy Stardust
    Status Quo: Hello
    Mythos: First
    Camel: Mirage
    PF: Dark Side of the Moon
    Far East Family Band: Nipponjin
    Amon Duul II: Wolf City
    Joy Division: Unknown Pleasures
    Chameleons: Script of the Bridge
    Echo & the B-men: Ocean Rain
    Cure: 17 Seconds
    Madness: One Step Beyond
    Stranglers: Feline
    Simple Minds: Sons & Fascination
    Simple Minds: New Gold Dream
    New Order: Movement

    Each of the above I have listened to well over 100 times...

    I did that with many albums ... and still do... It's part of my process to impregnate an oeuvre.

    I think Shadow was referring to a debate in another thread where semantics started because of my use of the plural "vinyls" noun.
    my music collection increased tenfolds when I switched from drug-addicts to complete nutcases.

    Has to be a Yes album for me. When I discovered them in the '80s and leapt into their back catalog, I would play their albums over and over, all day. The most played would have to be either Close to the Edge or Relayer.

    Someone mentioned Ziggy Stardust and it made me remember when I only had a half-dozen cassettes in my car in the mid-70's, so they were played ad infinitum- They were Ziggy, Led Zep IV, Stones' Thru the Past Darkly, Close to the Edge, Axis: Bold As Love, Meddle.

    Haven't played it in ages, but I wore the grooves out playing Thru the Past Darkly when it came out. 2000 Light Years From Home is still a favorite.

    Probably Frank Zappa's Apostrophe' and Over-Nite Sensation.

    These are followed closely by Talking Heads / Remain In Light, Steely Dan / Aja, Mahavishnu Orchestra / Visions Of The Emerald Beyond and Birds Of Fire, King Crimson / In The Court Of The Crimson King and Discipline, Robert Fripp / Exposure, Peter Gabriel / 3 (Melt) and Eno/Byrne / My Life In The Bush Of Ghosts.

    Over many years, it's probably been Selling England by the Pound. But on my Ipod, the most played album is 'Midlake - The Trials Of Van Occupanther' with 60 plays. Followed a close second by the first Fleet Foxes album with 54 plays.

    Trick of the Tail

    over the past year or so it would be:

    Cirrus Bay - The Search Foy Joy (sounds better every time I hear it)
    Big Big Train - English Electric (great fall music)

    and another plug for:

    Fleet Foxes - S/T (great summer music)

    Google Play (which I mostly listen to at work) tells me that my most-played song is "Indian Curse" by OSI, closely followed by "Infinite Ocean" by Devin Townsend Project.

    There is an album that's not on many "I can't tire of" lists, Tyger. I'm a big fan of it but it usually gets ripped for the vocals. Good call on the Kitaro cds. For me, he's kind of like Ozric Tenticles in that their sound doesn't change very my from one album to the next, but they do it very well.
