Album which you have listened to most?

We all have favourites and we all keep going back to them every now and then. Some maybe permanently lying next to our systems and have been for years.

Is there an album or two or three at the most which gets most of your attention and is played on your system most often? Not necessarily the best sounding but the one which you are emotionally attached to.

I thought I would ask for a single album but to make it easier for all you may name three of them.

If you have have had the album for more than five years, it qualifies for inclusion here.

The reason I decided to post this message is because I am interested in buying something interesting and if there are only ten people responding it means 30 albums for me to be on the lookout for.

Thanks a lot for your input (if you have read this far I know you will post your three albums also) :-)

These three stand out for me:

The Brandenburg Concertos. Karl Richter and the Bach Orchestra of Munich. So many of the Brandenburger recordings are "rehearse it once and record it"-and they sound like it. BOM was together long enough that they were a true ensemble.

Mozart Symphonies 35,39,40,and 41 George Szell-Cleveland Orchestra---still THE definitive Mozart symphony recordings.

Miles Davis Quintet,cd transcription of these four lps:Steamin',Cookin',Workin',and Relaxin'. In the fifties,John Coltrane was out of the army and Miles Davis had left Julliard(he left after two year--in good standing)and a rhythm section recorded the four albums mentioned above. The songs are standards;you probably know them all. These albums are seminal---you hear the germination of things to flower.
