For me the classic albums are the major ones by Yes, King Crimson, Jethro Tull, ELP, and Genesis.
Of the modern artists, the ones I turn to most are by Phideaux, Big Big Train, Spock's Beard, Transatlantic, Riverside, and not least, the Flower Kings. I don't focus on particular albums. Lately, I've been listening to their runs of major albums in succession.

My definite favorite of those is Illusions On A Double Dimple. Not only because of sentimental value (it being the first Triumvirat I ever heard, and sold me on the band instantly) but it's astonishing combination of instrumental prowess-allowed to flower most effectively with the two long suites on the album-and beautiful and lyrical playing-the Fritz-Koellen-Bathelt musical chemistry could not do it any other way! That is cool about Recycled, my favorite of Nektar's catalogue-they are at the top of their game on that one!

I frequently play my recent acquisitions, but..I don't buy as much as I used to. My entire, physical CD collection (about 500 titles, mostly Japanese paper sleeve Mini LP replicas) are all albums I return to the most. Too many to mention, but I will try to list some of then:
Genesis up to Second Out KC : Up to USA VDGG : Up to the Quiet Zone / Pleasure Dome GG : Up to Interview Yes : Up to Going for the One PFM ; Up to Jet lag Banco : first 5 ELP : up to "Welcome back" Jethro Tull : up to Stormwatch Soft Machine - up to 5 plus Bundles Camel - up to Breathless Caravan - up to Blind Dog Camberwell Now - All's Well This Heat - first 2 Present - Certitudes Cheer-Accident- all Cuneiform releases, 2009-19 dozens of RPI bands and early 70s UK second tier bands like Spring, Gnidrolog, Marsupilami, Gracious, Fantasy, Web, Samurai. Diabolus, Beggars Opera, Raw Material etc. Few Polish bands/artists: SBB, Niemen, Laboratorium, Grechuta, Breakout, Skaldowie. Edited by enigmatic - April 21 2022 at 11:55 |

For some reason the first Kansas album is the one I return to again and again.
Either that or Fragile. Or Tarkus.

Returning to an album over and over is an interesting question, many albums that I super loved when I first heard them, I haven't heard in years...
First that comes to mind is Phideaux, Number Seven or Doomsday Afternoon usually start a binge of his records (everything from Chupacabras on). Major Parkinson's Songs from the Solitary Home has been a consistent favourite since I first heard it. Mews "...and the glass handed kites" and "frengers" as well. I can't help returning to Frost*'s "Experiments in Mass Appeal". Gazpacho's "Night" and "Tick Tock" probably get spun a couple times a year. VdGG's Still Life comes on every once in a while. I still come back to Genesis quite a bit, but these days it's usually "Duke" or even "Invisible Touch"  Oh, and if I hear anything from it, I have to listen to all of Cheer-Accidents 'Fear Draws Misfortune'. Beyond that, honestly, I have a lot of prog I keep coming back to, but of late I find myself listening to specific songs from old favourites more than full albums. Bit of a strange on there, I know.

^ I would never have guessed. I read it as ITCOTCK, knowing that was surely not what it was, but my brain instantly translated it as such. I guess this is an indication in itself what I return to most, as if I listened to Supertramp more, I’d have recognised COTC for what it was. But I return to Krimson more, and so I read it as that. The brain is stubborn, too. So once I read it as ITCOTCK, even though I knew it was surely not that, I could not think of anything else. 😄🤪

It's getting late here, so my attention span is limited. You did well to figure it out on your own, as I never would've figured it out without Google's help.

if you had paid more attention, you would have noticed I did figure it out on my own.
