Take this question however you want, but I just listened to 90125 and I've come to realize I probably return to this more than any other Yes album. Sacrilege! Ah, but I love it so. I woke up this morning with Two Hearts stuck in my head and I really think it's a wonderful song, even if it's a bit corny. It Can Happen is so inspirational to me. Changes is such a cool adventure. Leave It just mesmerizes me. So To answer my own question, this is one album in the prog cannon that I find myself returning to more often than most others, even if I wouldn't say it's my favorite, it just has a lot of staying power and replayability for me. It never wears me out.
So what are some prog albums that you find yourself returning to time and time again for whatever reason?

Porg for short. My love of music doesn't end with prog! Feel free to discuss all sorts of music with me. Odds are I'll give it a chance if I haven't already! :)

I'm sorry, but personally I'd be more than happy never to have to listen to 90125 again...
 To answer your question, the entire Genesis discography, up until 1978 is indispensable and I'd not want to be without it... To give you a more obscure answer, then I have always adored Janison Edge: The Services Of Mary Goode... I've never grown tired of it, for some reason. Others would probably include Spock's Beard: V and IQ: Ever, Seventh House & Dark Matter

It used to be WYWH & COTC
These days it's probably LTiA and Ommadawn, they been in regular rotation for 40 years and still get played quite regularly. |

As you list the songs, I can agree that 90125 is better than I remembered it, but I don't listen to it. My favorite post-1970s yes product is Jon Anderson's Change We Must which, coincidently, contains my favorite version of
"Hearts". Albums that I return to most and seem to never tire of include: The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway by Genesis Limiti all'eguaglianza della parte con il tutto by Homunculus Res Dots and Loops by Stereolab Don Juan's Reckless Daughter by Joni Mitchell Kontinuum by Klaus Schulze If I Could Do It All Over Again, I'd Do It All Over You by Caravan Aja by Steely Dan Salinity Now! by Unaka Prong Mëkanïk Dëstruktïw Kömmandöh by Magma Natural Elements by Shakti Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots by The Flaming Lips |

It's been a while since I posted something in the Prog Lounge, but having some time on my hand and I find the question interesting I will give my answer. The albums I revisited more are with no surprise the 70's classics from Genesis, Yes, ELP, Rush, GG, VDGG, and KC. But for specific albums from those bands, instead of talking about the highest raise ones, I will say that there are some albums that are not the best-rated albums but still connect even after 40 years : Yes "Union", Genesis "And Then They Were Three", Rush "Hold Your Fire". Talking about Yes "90125", I was rediscovering this the other and realize that I was a bit harsh on all things that touch Trevor Rabbin because there are some really good songs on that album. |

However, the following are long time favourites that still get frequent attention: Van der Graaf Generator - Pawn Hearts Van der Graaf Generator - H To He, Who Am The Only One Peter Hammill - pH7 Peter Hammill - Sitting Targets Split Enz - Mental Notes Hawkwind - Warrior On The Edge Of Time Emerson, Lake & Palmer - Tarkus Nektar - Journey To The Centre Of The Eye |

No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.

Awesome answers! Glad so many have provided lists! Here are a few more of mine.
In addition to the aforementioned 90125, which I'm glad to see some others have been reminded of a few great tunes on that one from my initial post... In The Court Of The Crimson King has been getting more play from me than usual, even though it's really not towards the top of my KC rankings, it is great. Before that I was binging a bunch of the live material from The Great Deceiver, so perhaps I got a little tired of that era by the end of that. Similarly, I've gotten a lot of repeated milage out of Invisible Touch and Selling England By The Pound, despite those also not being up near the top of my Genesis rankings. Dream Theater are in regular rotation for me, especially Awake and the two newest ones. |

Yeah, that’s what I read it as. That would be one of my most returned to prog albums - particularly from the classic era. That and LTIA are easily my most returned to Krimson albums. |

Nice thread.
From Crimson, Red is still regularly played. From other classic era, Genesis Nursery Cryme, Yes The Yes Album and 90125 which I think is fantastic. There are many others, but I have just woken up with a wee hangover
