Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

20 of the ones I seem to reach for a couple of times a
year (after having owned them for atleast a decade - or two). Not
identical to my list of favorites (I don't really have one). I think this is... while not a 100% correct - a honest representation. I think almost half my listening time is spent listening to something for the first time though. Soft Machine - Fourth Magma - Kobaļa (or maybe its 1001° Centigrades) Herbie Hancock - Crossings Terje Rypdal - St Robert Wyatt - Rock Bottom Pink Floyd - Meddle VdGG - H to He (changed from Pawn Hearts, as I do think this gets more spins) Gong - You Can - Soundtracks (could be Ege Bamyasi) Jethro Tull - Benefit Ragnarok - St Perry Lepold - Christian Lucifer Klaus Schulze - Mirage Tangerine Dream - Phaedra The Residents Mark of the Mole/Intermission King Crimson - In the Court... (but really most of their first seven) Camel - Mirage Zanov - Green Ray

... oh and Miles Davis - Big Fun, Water Babies, In a Silent Way, Filles de Kilimanjaro... Miles gets A LOT of spins. But as with Herbie (and Terje) he is in the jazz section of my album collection.

Good topic! Loved reading all the answers. I myself have about 400 records and I listen to all of them in a quite equal distribution. These are prog favorites though!
Mine are: - Camel (first four) - Genesis (Threspass, Nursury Cryme, Foxtrot... since the remixes) - Van der Graaf Generator / PH (1969-1975) - Fairport Convention with Sandy Danny - Pearls Before Swine (sixties records) - Iron Maiden (everything up to X-factor) - Can (the first five) - Gentle Giant (most of them) - Il Paese del Belocchi - Pink Floyd (Atom Heart Mother) - Hawkwind (Electric Tepee and Live Chronicles) - Grobschnitt (Rockpommel's Land and Solar Music Live) - Gong (Radio Gnome Trilogy) - The Beatles (Sg. Pepper and Let it Be) Digitally I listen a lot to: - IQ (about 1/3 of the time) - Arena - Pallas - Kayak |

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

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.

^ 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, Id 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. 😄🤪

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.

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