I don't really know. Different albums got heavily played during different periods, and it would be difficult for me to say which got the most play during my entire life. But the following is a tentative list:
Pawn Hearts - Van der Graaf Generator H To He, Who Am The Only One - Van der Graaf Generator Tarkus - Emerson Lake & Palmer Brain Salad Surgery - Emerson Lake & Palmer Between Nothingness And Eternity - Mahavishnu Orchestra Mental Notes - Split Enz Close To The Edge - Yes Animals - Pink Floyd Imaginary Voyage - Jean-Luc Ponty Journey To The Centre Of The Eye - Nektar |

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.

Just guessing here. This was a more common practice back when I had only a couple hundred CDs/vinyls. Now that I have so much more, my listening adventures are a bit more diverse than they once were.
Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here Pink Floyd - Animals Genesis - Duke Yes - The Yes Album ELO - On the Third Day ELO - A New World Record Steve Miller Band - Book of Dreams ELP - Brain Salad Surgery Deep Purple - Machine Head Deep Purple - Perfect Strangers Magellan - Impending Ascension Spock's Beard - The Kindness of Strangers Ayreon - Into the Electric Castle Anekdoten - Vemod Therion - Deggial I'm sure there were a couple others I missed.

I don't know exactly, but the first Toto album and Camel's Stationary Traveller are among them for sure, since I've had CD copies of them since I was a child (well, a bootleg in the case of Toto, but still) and played them a lot.

I've played Camel's Stationary Traveller many times too, but not nearly as often as Moonmadness. I've only listened to the first two Camel albums once only though on YouTube, mainly because I haven't yet got around to buying them on CD.

I listened to Stationary Traveller a lot in particular because my aunt, who died of a heart condition when I was less than a year old, loved the title track and had asked for it to be played at her funeral. My dad inherited her CD copy of the album which he eventually gave to me. Objectively speaking I wouldn't call it one of their best albums but I have a strong emotional connection with it for that reason (and also because it introduced me to a band that would later serve as one of my gateways into prog rock in general)
