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) :-)

Walter Salas beat me to the punch by listing Miles Davis' "Kind of Blue" -- without question my favorite jazz album of all time. The "select" list of my favorite jazz albums include:
1. Miles Davis & Cannonball Adderley: "Something Else:
2. Charlie Byrd & Stan Getz: "Jazz Samba"
3. Bill Evans: "Live at the The Village Vanguard" recordings
4. Bill Evans & Jim Hall: "Undercurrent"
5. Art Pepper: "Meets the Rhythm Section", and "Blues For The Fisherman" (Mole Records)
6. Zoot Sims: the Pablo recordings he did with Jimmy Rowles (piano): "Warm Tenor"; "Suddenly It's Spring", etc.
7 Benny Carter: "Jazz Giant"
8. Chick Corea & Gary Burton: "Crystal Silence"

About two years ago, I did a LONG post (actually, several posts in the same thread) that listed a number of my all-time favorite jazz recordings. You might want to take a look at that thread, since a number of people included their top recommendations.
