    Can't say that I've kept a count but if I had to guess I'd say either Robin Trower Bridge of Sighs Santana III or Yes Relayer.

    My guess is Abbey Road.

    Easy for me, that would be the entire discography of Yes, Rush and Genesis a hundred times...

    Okay, listen to most means one single disc, not a list of discs. For me, the one I have listened to most is:

    Magma- Live
    I'm not lazy. I just work so fast I'm always done.

    Probably from number of sheer listens coupled by the amount of time I’ve owned it, I’d have to answer A Wizard/A True Star by Todd Rundgren. Second is probably Nursery Cryme by Genesis.
    Confirmed Bachelors: the dramedy hit of 1883...

    Do you still occasionally play it? For many of the albums I played repeatedly over the years, the glow eventually disappears and then it's years or even decades if it even ever gets played again. Not so with DSOTM and WYWH. Still love them both and yes the different versions of live albums help keep it fresh (DG has several rearrangements of Shine On for example , PF has Pulse with the live Dark Side in full etc). They still sound as good to me as when I heard them when they were originally released. I will play them several times a year.

    I haven't deliberately put it on in about ten years except when I bought the 2011 Remaster though I bought that for the Raving & Drooling and You've Got To Be Crazy live tracks. The only time I now hear it is if a track comes round on random shuffle. It still makes me smile and I'll happily listen to the track.

    Either Brian Eno's Music for Airports or Gothic Voices' A Feather on the Breath of God.

    Does it matter that this waste of time is what makes a life for you?

    Lexicon is a good album, no doubt - but I prefer Beauty Stab: I think the songwriting is better. (Caveat emptor - I don't like ELO!)

    Sorted into decades:

    60s:
    Iron Butterfly - In-a-gadda-da-vida (first rock album I ever bought)
    LZ - II
    Beatles - Abbey Road (after a lengthy hospital stay at age 11, my Dad bought me this and I listened to it all day every day during my recooperation. Still have this original vinyl)

    70s:
    Grand Funk - LIVE, (greater than 10,000 listens I'm sure), Red
    Black Sabbath - SBS
    YES - Yessongs (greater than 10,000 listens I'm sure), Tales, Relayer
    Deep Purple - Made in Japan

    80s:
    Rush - Moving Pictures, Grace Under Pressure, Permanent Waves
    King Crimson - Discipline
    John Renbourne - The Hermit

    Other than the grand funk railroad and the john renbourne I would say these albums had heavy rotation on my record player.

    Just that album: Lexicon is Eldorado's dancier younger brother

    I have to say I'm surprised at the variety of "most played" albums here. I thought it overwhelmingly would by from one or two albums from the big 10 (you get the drift). That's not the case here. Very interesting. Thanks for all the input!
