It's probably The Moodies' Days... and In Search... then all the Beatles' albums, especially Revolver and Abbey Road, my favorites.
And Wish You Were Here of course.
I also think that Joni Mitchell, Simon & Garfunkel and Leonard Cohen are good contenders, it's hard to tell, they've been with me for a long, long time.

This is probably heavily biased to the period of my life where I owned about 10 albums and listened to one every night before going to bed ...
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...
After that it's a guessing game but I would say: Trans-Siberian Orchestra - Beethoven's Last Night - found this after I started to get bored of Les Miserables when I was looking for another musical to fall in love with. Didn't know what it was at the time but I liked the cover so I borrowed it from the library. I remember almost shutting it off at first listen because I was shocked by how heavy it was (at this point in my life I was pretty much only into classical and Les Mis). But I didn't and I ended up loving it quite heavily, borrowed it from the library dozens of times, then downloaded it when I moved to college because I couldn't find it anywhere and fell in love with it all over again. Then finally found it on CD and bought it. Got it signed when I saw them live.
Tears for Fears - ??
Either Everybody Loves a Happy Ending or The Hurting, not sure, but these guys were my #1 for years before I got into prog, and these were the two that I listened to the most.
Yes - ?? 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!

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.

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'......

I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth.

My thoughts exactly, thanks my friend  The Roaring Silence is where it's at next. Although a tad more polished and openly melodic, there's still some killer guitar n synth work in there.

I agree with both of you and must add The Good Earth is a really good album as well. 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)

Comus - First Utterance 7. The Mars Volta - Amputechture 8. Genesis - Selling England by the Pound 9. The Beatles - Revolver 10. At the Drive-in - Acrobatic Tenement
