According to last.fm, my five most played albums are....

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.

Marillion - Clutching at Straws
Rainbow - Rising

There are really so many Confused that I have chosen the above mainly due to the fact that since the albums came out they have never been very far from my sound system.

5


Which isn't worth a whole lot because that's only music I've listened to on my computer (basically just spotify) and it's counted according to track plays not albums plays. Four of these albums are quite long and contain many tracks.  The first one is a curiosity for me I had no idea I listened to it that many times.
I'll have to think about what they actually are.


After thinking about what the real albums could be, a good guess would be this:

(mostly based on broke teenage years when new CDs were hard to come by and I'd play 'em over and over and over until I brainwashed myself.)
Deep Purple - Machine Head
Led Zeppelin - Mothership
Dream Theater - Images and Wurd!

(And then just because I was obsessed in college)
Pain of Salvation - Remedy Lane
Genesis - Lamb Lies Down on Broadway

Top 5 would all be Kansas albums. The next 5 (some guesswork required here given I've been collecting records since 1974):

- Led Zeppelin IV
- Dark Side of the Moon
- The Go-Gos - Beauty and the Beat
- Best of the Bee Gees (the yellow one)
- Marillion - Misplaced Childhood

Since I've joined PA:

- Carol of Harvest
- Smell of Incense - Through the Gates of Deeper Slumber
- Will-o-the Wisp - A Gift for your Dreams
- Led Zeppelin IV
- Proto-Kaw - Early Recordings

Jimi Hendrix - Smash Hits (LP given to me by my cousin in my youth; album I've owned for the longest time and still own today)
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.

Thank you for compliment; I hope you'll enjoy in that middle/late 70s melodic hard rock and fusion cocktail called Crna Dama
