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.

presdoug, as the premier Truimvirat fan on the site, please tell me what your favorite album of their first four is, if you have one. Also, the Recycled listing is huge and a tremendous favorite of mine.

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!

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.
