Why disturbing? I'm only wondering if HemispheresOfXanadu ever gives A Passion Play a listen. Not as archaic as everyone's beloved 'Brick.

hmmm... I've been an avid music fan for 45+ years now...

I guess my 5 most played could maybe be these ones:

beatles … sgt. pepper's lonely hearts club band
mothers of invention … we're only in it for the money
king crimson … in the court of the crimson king
pink floyd … meddle
bonzo dog band … the doughnut in granny's greenhouse

Don't own it yet, sadly. But I listen to it often on YouTube. Smile
And my favourite Tull album would have to be Minstrel in the Gallery. Which I also don't own. Embarrassed

As a child, either Days of the Future Passed, St. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, or Oscar Levant Plays Gershwin. They were available at home. Hmm, orchestrated pop, concept rock, and orchestrated jazz. Set the stage, I guess.
As an adolescent, definitely a tie between A Passion Play and Houses of the Holy.
As an adult, Steely Dan. Probably either Gaucho or Aja. I play all their albums. A lot. Most-played song: Dr. Wu.


And a shout out to those who mentioned Captain Beyond, Who's Next, Tales from Topographic Oceans,  The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway, and Larks' Tongue in Aspic.

And an honorable forgot-to-mention to the Mothers of Invention, for such gems as Hot Rats and One Size Fits All

Not an easy question, but I think probably the following albums

Drearm Theater - When Dream and Day unite
Jethro Tull - Thick as a brick
Van der Graff Generator - God Bluff
Beatles - White Album
Roxette - Don't bore us get to the chorus (greatest hits)
Don't Bore Us, Get To The Chorus

Saw a recent 04/16 posting, so decided to give this one another pondering: Yes-Relayer, 'Tull-A Passion Play, 801-Listen Now, Chris Squire-Fish Out of Water, and 'Crimso-RED (and not necessarily in that order)!

Blood, Sweat and Tears - Child Is Father to the Man
Yes - the Yes Album
Crimso - Islands
Elton John - Tumbleweed Connection
Nick Lowe - Jesus of Cool
The Kinks - Muswell Hillbillies
 
Can't really say these are the "most played" but they're the records I've had since I was a wee lad.......the Nick Lowe album must have stayed on my turntable for months straight in 1980. 
I like to feel the suspense when you're certain you know I am there.....

Sky - Sky
Sky - Sky 2
Nektar - A Tab in The Ocean
Camel - The Snow Goose
Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here (Side 1)

The first two Sky albums were my first music purchases (on cassette tape back in 1980) - their lengthy intrumental classical/rock fusions were probably the starting point in my exploration of music leading to the wider world of "prog rock". It might have helped that Sky made several tours of Australia in the early 1980's, making them one of the few bands here on PA that have also played multiple concerts here in beautiful Adelaide.

Excluded but eligible for an honourable mention are 4 albums by Steely Dan (Aja, Katy Lied, Pretzel Logic and The Royal Scam) that did sterling service for several years within my car, to help sooth an occasionally nervous driver (me).

that is a hard one to say..

some contenders..of which I've heard enough times, most since I was a child, to have every single note committed to mental memory

Fleetwood Mac -Rumours
Dave Brubeck Quartet - Time Out
Allman Brothers - At Fillmore East
Traffic - John Barleycorn must Die
Marvin Gaye - What's Going On

edit.. can't forget this one. One of the first albums I bought on my own,wore out several pre-CD copies of tape and vinyl, and still today a oft listened to masterpiece of Americana

Willie Nelson - Stardust
