I think if people are truthfull then this may be a bit of fun, I bet we all had a record we played constantly as a kid and still like to throw on when we're home alone.

So the 5 albums do you think you've listened to the most over your lifetime...

I'll have a bit of a think and get back to you!

2.- Yessongs (Yes): LP + cassette + VHS + CD + CD Remastered Edition + DVD

3.- Foxtrot (Genesis): My all-time favorite album

4.- Illusions on a Double Diomple: Also a favorite

5.- Trespáss (Genesis): Left it in the Car CD player (8 CD's) for almost a year

Let's think, and try to remember the grand old vinyl days, prior to recording on things like Progfreak

I would say:

1. Yes. Going for the One. My first prog (proper) album, and still in my top five. I never tire of it.

2. Genesis. Nursery Cryme. My absolute favourite from the Gabriel era. It still sounds as fresh now as it did when I first got it as a wide eyed teenager.

3. Genesis. Duke. An album I will never tire of as long as I live. A joy to listen to.

4. Marillion. Brave. An album which is rightly now considered a classic. I knew it from the start.

5. Pink Floyd. Animals. I played it to death from the day I got it, and still wonder at its genius now.

I was interested in Ivan's comment re keeping a cd in his car for a long time. Since I got my i Pad there is only one album I have kept on it permanently, and that is Martin Orford's Old Road, a work of such genius, I weep when I think it might be his last contribution to recorded work. It doesn't qualify as a top five listen, when you consider I started listening to prog back in the heyday, but it is absolutely an album I will listen to at least once a week.

The joy of music.......recently, I have started to fall back in love again, after a bit of a wobble earlier in the year

2) Blue Oyster Cult - Secret Treaties : age 14

5) King Crimson : USA : age 16

Non prog, but Twin Fantasy might be up there with >100 plays (of the entire album)

3) 2112

4) Who's Next

5) The Wall

my most played from the last couple of years would be a much different list. 

 

Who's Next

ITCOTCK

Yes- Yes

ELP-ELP

After The Gold Rush-Neil Young

Led Zeppelin - II

Deep Purple - Fireball

Beatles - Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band

The Doors - The Doors

I got somewhat tired of the subtle blues on Fireball, and the huge one in LZ and BS, oh my... I really don't need to listen to it again

I get tired of pretty much everything in a few months and almost never get back to, but every now and them I'll play these:

Prog:

King Crimson - Larks' Tongues In Aspic

Michael Hoenig - Departure from the Northern Wasteland

Steely Dan - Aja or The Royal Scam

Henry Rollins - Everything (spoken word; excerpts from a book of his)

Lenny Bruce - The Berkeley Concert

1.  Captain Beyond -- Captain Beyond

2.  The Flower Kings -- Flower Power

3.  Saga -- Generation 13

4.  Echolyn -- Suffocating the Bloom

5.  Steve Hackett -- Spectral Mornings

Since this goes by number of tracks played, it is biased towards albums with shorter tracks and against, for example, Tales from Topographic Oceans.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yessongs

Tangerine Dream - Tangram

Camel - Moonmadness

Genesis - The Lamb

Strawbs - Ghosts

Black Sabbath - Sabbath Bloody Sabbath

AC/DC - Highway To Hell

Rainbow - Rising

Motorhead - Overkill

Scorpions - Animal Magnetism

Iron Maiden - Number Of The Beast

Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here

Ozzy - Blizzard Of Oz

Led Zep - IV

ELP - Welcome Back My Friends To The Show That Never Ends ,Ladies and Gentlemen...

IQ - Ever

Mike Oldfield - Incantations

if I make a cut off albums post 2000 then the following would be top of the list along with three of the above

Porcupine Tree - Deadwing

Muse - Absolution

Pink Floyd - Ummagumma 

Pink Floyd - Animals

Gentle Giant - Acquiring The Taste

Gentle Giant - Free Hand

Egg - The Polite Force

And slightly more recent (2-3 years ago):

Cheer-Accident - Not a Food 

Cheer-Accident - Babies Shouldn't Smoke 

 

Genesis - The Lamb lies down.

Tull - Minstrel in the G.

Zeppelin - II - Houses of the Holy

Crimson - Red (and maby Lizard and maby Islands)

Yes - Fragile

Gentle Gaint - In A Glass House

Local Artist : Sebastian - Når Lyset Bryder Frem / Ulvehøjen

Talking Heads - Remain in Light

 

Yo! 

Iron Maiden - Powerslave

Deep Purple - Machine Head

AC/DC - Back In Black

Iron Maiden - Seventh Son of a Seventh Son

Phil Collins - Serious Hits... Live!

Focus III

ELP - Trilogy

Ekseption 5

In The Court Of The Crimson King

Mercyful Fate - Don't Break The Oath (For a while in the early 90s I was in a Mercyful Fate / K. Diamond cover band so I pored through their material constantly. This beats out their Melissa LP solely because "Night Of The Unborn" was such a difficult song to learn on guitar)

Norah Jones - The Fall (Odd choice, but for two straight years every single night it helped put my toddler to sleep...he would flip out if I tried to play something else at bedtime)

The Who - Who's Next (I've heard these songs so many times I actually get a bit repelled when I hear something from it due to overplaying it back in the day)

Slayer - Hell Awaits (I'd play this to and from school on my walkman without bothering to change it for basically years. I was a bit nutty back then)

 

Not a very 'prog' list (not at all actually). Guess when I listen to prog I tend to focus on the music entirely, while my most played material involved music I could regulate to the background yet still enjoy while doing other things.

4 of my absolute favorite albums right there. gonna have to check out "Crna Dama" since you clearly have amazing taste in music.
 

1. Camel - Nude

2. Yes - 90125

3. Genesis - Three Sides Live

4. Yes - The Yes Album

5. Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here

Genesis - Trespass

Lynyrd Skynyrd - Greatest Hits

Led Zeppelin - Mothership

Led Zeppelin - I or IV

Rush - 2112 or Caress Of Steel

The winner will without a doubt be the Broadway Cast version of Les Miserables, which I listened to for months and months when I was in high school, before I got into rock. I still love it to this day and have collected all the English language versions I could find, and a couple french versions as well...

Another band that I obsessed about, this one for a very long time followed by only the occasional listen since. If I had to guess I would say The Yes Album or Fragile are my most played but really anything from The Yes Album to Drama has a pretty decent chance.

Fifth: I would have to guess Major Parkinson's Song from a Solitary Home. That or VDGG's Pawn Hearts. 

According to lasfm  (which has only been active since 2007, five years after #1 and #2 and 3 years after I got into #3) my top 5 are:

Hi,   Amon Duul 2.   2nd would likely be Tangerine Dream   3rd probably Klaus Schulze or Vangelis   4th would be Hawkwind   5th probably Pink Floyd, though I stopped listening to it that much 30 years ago! More music that is much more satisfying for my tastes, but there is always one song I can go nuts on super loud ... like "no Talking" ... just love them rockers!   Of these 5, Hawkwind has about 6 albums in my car! The only Pink Floyd I would carry these days would be 3 or 4 of Roger's solo albums ... nowadays with all the media conglomeration and top ten society, Radio Kaos makes so much sense! ------------- Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about!

I already posted on this but ....after mulling it over I probably have played the Moodies ; In Search.. and Children and The Beatles Revolver, Pepper, White , and Abbey Road as much as anything over the years. Oh...and in the late 70's and early 80;s  played copious amounts of Steely Dan also.....especially Countdown To Ecstacy and Katy Lied.  ------------- One does nothing yet nothing is left undone.

Back in my poverty days when I was just saving up pocket money, (even stooping to 'bob-a-jobs' cleaning neighbours gutters out, fetching their bread and milk, weeding the gardens etc.) I'd buy cheap, battered up LP's, usually by Floyd, Yes, Genesis, Jefferson Airplane/J Starship, Grateful Dead, Rolling Stones, Crimso, Caravan etc., and these were the albums I flogged to death, over and over. Then I started working, and eventually upgraded these crusty albums to pristine copies and the rest is history. Now I don't think I've played the same LP more than a dozen or so times...... I recall having a daily ritual for months on end with 'After Bathing At Baxter's' by Jefferson Airplane. I listen to it maybe once or twice a year now. Same with DSOTM, The Wall, Close To The Edge'......

Glorified Magnified, although often considered as not a good album, IMO contains a few of their strongest songs.

It would have to be the ones I played most as a teenager as I had only 30 or 40 to pick from. Counting those where I usually played most of the record rather than one or two favourite tracks I think this would be the most likely list: Yessongs - the 3rd disc Woodstock - the 2nd disc DSOTM Yessongs - the 1st disc Very Eavy Very Umble Selling England by the Pound Wheels of Fire - the Live disc Saucerful of Secrets Let it Be Watt (Ten Years After)

^Well it would seem that you Brits are making a strong musical comeback. I just checked out the band Syd Arthur after reading Orbiter's recent reviews and must say that it's some of the best modern "Canterburian" music I've ever heard. Right up there with Antique Seeking Nuns. It's not often that I come across modern prog bands that are this melodic and song based, and still manage to keep my interest. ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack.

Gosh, I don't know... If I had to guess, probably De-Loused in the Comatorium by The Mars Volta just because of how long I've had it and for the fact that I still regard it highly. Moving Pictures would likely be second. Then maybe Dark Side of the Moon.

I have more music now but I usually just play it through my computer, so 'tis still TaaB that's winning there. ------------- https://twitter.com/ProgFollower" rel="nofollow - @ProgFollower on Twitter.

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

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.

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)! ------------- "It just has none of the qualities of your work that I find interesting.

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). ------------- Seasons Of Change - weekly programme on community radio: https://seasonsofchangeradio.blogspot.com.au/" rel="nofollow - http://seasonsofchangeradio.blogspot.com.au/
