Marillion's Brave. I try to stay away from it because I don't want to overplay
it; however, it's very difficult to stay away from it. It's simply the best disc I
own.

Caress of Steel by Rush - Its awesomeness and the memories it carries from my youth are sacrosanct.
A Flame to the Ground Beneath by Lost Horizon - It's so powerful that I believe there may be dilution by overplaying it.

I had to limit The Masquerade Overture by Pendragon. I still like it a lot, but I've played it so often I basically memorized the music, so I find I don't really need to play it much.

I do that too, stand in front of my CDs and ponder about what to play! I have a lot of stuff to play and I think: I really want to play this, but I played that last week and the week before that... and what do I play? Haha, the one album I've played on numerous occasions. I don't dislike any of my music, but some great albums get left unplayed for ages!

I have it with my favourite album of all time: Going For The One by Yes. Most albums I listen to any time when I'm in the mood, but GFTO... Only every now and then, indeed, to keep it fresh.

I have a few thousand cds but still can never find anything to play - I stand in front of my racks for ages trying to decide! It's a good point though, with all my choice are there any albums to be treated rather like the I Ching. You may say - "what the hell is he talking about?" Well, many years ago I had a friend who was into the I Ching and he used to keep it wrapped in silk and only bring it out on special occasions. Well, yes, I thought he was nuts too but you get the drift.
To return to the point (I can get a bit like Ronnie Corbett), I suppose it would have to be just my favourite album "Fandangos in Space" by Carmen. I have bought two copies, one of which was the American version - obtained recently from my usual bootleg supplier in St Petersburg, Russia. This has a different cover to the original vinyl and cd release. I will only take this one in the car - the other one doesn't leave the house in case the car got stolen. I do only listen to it every so often and that is partially due to not wanting to overplay it.

Thats what I intend to do but I have two problems; I'm a student and as such don't have much money and I've only been in to Prog for a shortwhile so I've got a lot of catching up to do.

A lot of Gov't Mule stuff, 'cause I have numerous live versions of songs I love and I don't want to overplay it all.
Most of my Van der Graaf Generator and Peter Hammill collection, I don't ever want them to their appeal, I'd be devastated!
In some ways, I'm very glad Gov't Mule have released a lot of double albums and long live recordings, it means I don't tend to play them all that often, which is cool!
I'm listening to a 4CD concert of theirs as I type this though, eep!
That's 4:07:24 worth of music!
I also don't want to overplay Comus or White Willow - Storm Season.
I have Taal - Skymind in the car and I really think I should remove it, the same with Starless and Bible Black by KC, I play either of those all the time. Pawn Hearts is in the car as well, but I always make sure I never play it.

I find that despite the fact that my music collection is expanding at a ridiculous rate I still go back to several albums on a regular basis, but I also don't listen to several albums that I really enjoy because I'm buying so many albums.
To be honest I don't know what to do; stop buying as many albums (I've bought 7 since Saturday) or to spend even more time listening to music. Its a major dilema.

I`ll never tire of listening to anything by Gentle Giant. The only
thing that worries me is that everything they ever recorded might
eventually be released. I just bought Scraping the Barrel about two
weeks back and still haven`t made it through all 12 hours of it.

I am trying to limit my plays of Ghost Reveries, without much success.

Currently for me it's the live version of The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway from Archives I. I'm trying my best not to listen to it once a week but I keep reaching for it all the time even though I got it in January. It's so good it's like I've never heard it before.

'Close to the Edge' by Yes, 'Animals' by Pink Floyd, 'Foxtrot' by Genesis and ELP's first album all have that appeal for me.
I can no longer listen to 'Dark Side of the Moon' or 'The Wall' or anything by Led Zeppelin or the Beatles since I played those bands to death when I was growing up.

Script for a Jester's Tear by MARILLION.Yeah,it's my favouritest album EVER,but I listen to it very seldom - I'm afraid it can lose its magic with frequent listenings!!!

yeah, i love Solar Music Live, but that album is different, i can listen to it over and over again, which is sort of the spirit of Solar Music and what makes it so great

Well, this is pretty familiar!
I have had this with the Dream Theater albums. In a couple of months I bought all DT-cd's, and these days I notice I don't play them that much anymore. The fact that my collection is rapidly expanding will also be a factor here.
The last couple of weeks I have this with my Opeth cd's. Just when I thought: ok, enough's enough, let's cut down on the opeth, a good friend of mine discovered them, and is constantly playing their music. Which on the other hand is a good thing, as I'll be seeing them live in about 2 months, and ofcourse I want to know every song the could play that evening

Fragile has been overplayed in my household since early 1972. A Passion Play comes in a close second only because it came out a year or so later.

The Wall has always been my all-time favourite album but I have overplayed it so much along my lifetime that nowadays I play it less than once a year.
