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.

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'm shopping for a new oil-cured sinus bag that's a happy bag of lettuce this car smells like cartilage nothing beats a good video about fractions |

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. ------------- https://mirasnelder.wordpress.com/" rel="nofollow - Freelance composer, accepting commissions | https://mirasnelder.bandcamp.com/album/altered-acuity" rel="nofollow - New album! |

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)

It’s hard to say really. Shooting from the hip here: Pink Floyd - More Neil Young & Crazy Horse - Zuma The Doors - Absolutely Live! KISS - Alive Type O Negative - October Rust Tangerine Dream - Alpha Centauri Steve Miller Band - Children Of The Future Santana - Lotus Iron Maiden - Live After Death Steppeulvene - HIP Some of these I haven’t listened to in years though..but man they got some serious spin time back when I was growing my first facial hairs. As I write this I also realise that there needs to be some Stevie Wonder, Amon Düül ll and some FSOL in there as well. Impossible task really! Edith: in addition to what I already wrote...back when I was between 8-13 I lived with the same albums...and listened to the same albums all the time! So add Michael Jackson’s Bad, USA for Africa ‘We Are The World’ and Ravel’s Bolero (mom’s LPs), Dire Straits’ Love Over Gold (dad’s LP) as well as The Wall as I completely forgot that I had that sucker ripped to tape from my aunts LP collection. I listened to that thing non-stop for about a year. Still know every musical gesture found therein by heart. Even younger still I think I may have listened to my mom’s old tape of the Grease soundtrack. I was 6 or 7 methinks and Michael Jackson and Grease were simply the bee’s knees  I still listen to the former from time to time. Play me anything off of Grease and I jump straight out of the window! ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack.

You really must invest in a copy - it's where they hit perfection, and it gets quite proggy in parts (especially 'Un Nuit a Paris'). ------------- "We're going to need a bigger swear jar." Chloë Grace Moretz as Mindy McCready aka 'Hit Girl' in Kick-Ass 2 |

Just ten? Yeah...no. Well, evidently I'd have to go back to the late 60s/early 70s for albums. Because, for me, you never listened to albums as many times as you did when you were a teenager. Consecutively. Over and over. Day and night. Your parents wanted to kill you. I can't do just one per band, but I'll stick with 1 or 2, knowing there were more in the regular rotation. Alice Cooper - Love it to Death / Killer
Deep Purple - Made in Japan Jethro Tull - Aqualung / Living in the Past Pink Floyd - DSotM / WYWH Led Zeppelin - IV / Physical Graffiti Black Sabbath - Sabbath Bloody Sabbath / Paranoid Traffic - Low Spark of High Heeled Boys Moody Blues - Days of Future Past / Threshold of a Dream Neil Young - After the Gold Rush / Everybody Knows this is Nowhere The Beatles - White Album / Rubber Soul Oh, what the hell...bonus: The Doors - Strange Days / Morrison Hotel Cat Stevens - Tea for the Tillerman / Catch Bull at Four Jimi Hendrix - Are you Experienced / Electric Ladyland Uriah Heep - Demons and Wizards / Live Genesis - Trick of the Tail / Wind & Wuthering Peter Gabriel - Car Allman Brothers - Live at Fillmore East Simon & Garfunkel - Parsley, Sage, Rosemary & Thyme / Sounds of Silence Cream - Fresh Cream Derek & the Dominos - Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs ------------- ...a vigorous circular motion hitherto unknown to the people of this area, but destined to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology... |

Essentially your asking for our all time Top 10. These would be records I have been spinning since I was a teen, in some cases younger, have not played them to death yet  Earth, Wind & Fire~ All 'n All Iron Maiden ~ Piece Of Mind Rush ~ Hemispheres Scorpions ~ Animal Magnetism Michael Jackson ~ Off The Wall Pink Floyd ~ DSOtM Supertramp ~ Crime Of the Century The Who ~ Who's Next Parliament ~ Mothership Connection Boston ~ s/t Jethro Tull ~ Aqualung Peter Gabriel ~ So The Police ~ Ghost In the Machine Saga ~ Worlds Apart -------------

Not exactly. Out of the ten albums I played to death as a teenager in the seventies, there's only three of those albums that are still in my Top 10 now, and they just happen to be the three prog albums:- Ashes Are Burning; Moonmadness; & Ommadawn. I don't listen to Michael Jackson's Thriller album much these days.

The albums I've played the most over the years are the ones I bought first, mainly because I didn't have anything else to play at the time. I was still at school and couldn't afford many albums. I still play Genesis Live and Led Zep II at lot, Billion Dollar Babies not so much but I still give it an occasional blast.

I spin Thriller more than Off The Wall now, I may not have understood your OP question. I still spin many albums I bought as a teen. But I am not sure I can say I spun any to death as a teen cause that's all I had in my collection. Now records like EW&F~All n All, I am on my 3rd copy. So maybe I did spin that one to death. -------------
