What are the Top 5 albums you've listened to the most?

I can't tell if the top five list should be albums I listened to the most without skipping any songs or my ranking of the best five albums that have no weak songs. So I'll kind of do a hybrid of the two.

Jimmy Eat World - Clarity (1999) - greatest album of all time IMO
Foo Fighters - The Colour and the Shape (1997) - excellent songs start to back with brilliant sequencing
Weezer - Blue Album (1994) - basically an album of hit singles with a great closer
Dance Gavin Dance - Downtown Battle Mountain II (2011) - peak post hardcore with a brilliant closing sequence
Turnover - Peripheral Vision (2015) - magnetic dreamy post pop punk

Post away whatever you want. (y)

My original intent was to not list your 5 favorite albums necessarily. But the ones you've played the most throughout the entire album, just enjoying them for what they are. Purely a numbers thing. Look at it like food, you may eat a certain food type everyday, but it doesn't mean it's your favorite food.

If we were only talking childhood years Goodbye Yellow Brick Road would be No. 1.

And Kiss Alive II.

So in 73, I was 9, still playing outside with my Tonka trucks and Matchbox & Hot Wheels cars, building roads and imaginary houses (well, really just big driveways to park all the cars! Lol)

Had a portable record player that I'd take outside with me, and GYBR was one of the albums I'd play. Suddenly I started hearing this warbling sound. :unsure:

Come to find out, the sun had moved directly overhead (yeah, I know, the sun doesn't really move) and now the record player was in direct sunlight, and it warped the 2nd disc! AAAAHHHHH

I stacked a bunch of books on it, and even though it still retained some of the warping, turns out, it went back to playing fine. (As the tonearm would ride slightly up and down. haha)

I have the CD of that album too. Probably my all-time #1. They wrote and recorded that record in like 3 weeks!! SO many different styles of songs!
 
I used to be a real snob about playing entire albums ;~)) As a result, there are a LOT that I have "worn out the needle on" back in the day playing front to back. Here are 5 that I simply adore to this day and absolutely HATE hearing one of it's songs out of context!!

Dark Side Of The Moon - Pink Floyd
The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway - Genesis
Overnight Sensation - Frank Zappa
Lee Michaels - Lee Michaels
The Case of the 3 Sided Dream in Audio Color - Rahsaan Roland Kirk

So many more, which would include but not be limited to:
Rock N Roll Animal - Lou Reed
Home - Spearhead
Play Don't Worry - Mick Ronson
Ziggy Stardust And The Spiders From Mars - David Bowie
Larks Tongues In Aspic - King Crimson
Physical Graffiti - Led Zeppelin
Emancipation - Prince
Joe's Garage - Frank Zappa
Yellow Shark - Frank Zappa
Apostrophe - Frank Zappa
Waiting For Columbus - Little Feat
Obscured By Clouds - Pink Floyd
Animals - Pink Floyd
Wish You Were Here - Pink Floyd
Workingman's Dead - Grateful Dead
American Beauty - Grateful Dead

On all of these and more, drop the needle, close your eyes and drift away ;~))
