Two off the top of my head that seem to get played year in year out.

So many brilliant 3 minute memorable pop rock songs in one album.

Not everyone's first though of Neil Young albums but always been my fave.
Forty+ years of album buying means there's a shit-load to choose from, but there's a small list of perpetual favourites that I've never grown tired of listening to:
King Crimson - In The Court Of The Crimson King
Paul Simon - Hearts and Bones
Goldfrapp - Felt Mountain
Elbow - Asleep At The Back
Talk Talk - It's My Life
David Byrne and Brian Eno - My Life In The Bush Of Ghosts
'Til Tuesday - Everything's Different Now
Kate Bush - Hounds Of Love
Shawn Colvin - A Few Small Repairs
Peter Gabriel - Four
Genesis - Selling England By The Pound
Portishead - Dummy
A few decades covered there, I've left out anything really recent that I really love, some of them I'm really confident I'll still be listening to in twenty or thirty years time, but I think for the purpose of this thread longevity is key.
Certainly every one listed has been listened to over and over again right the way through ever since I first heard them.
All killer, no filler! 😀
Blue - Joni Mitchell
Rage against the machine debut, and DJ Shadow entroducing still regularly listened to these days and have been since their release.
More recently Frank Turner England keep my bones

this seems to never be out of the CD player
Let it Bleed by the Stones.
After the Goldrush and Everybody Knows this is Nowhere by Neil Young.
Blood on the Tracks and Nashville Skyline by Dylan.
But by far the most played is The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion by the Black Crowes. I think it's the first album I got as a teenager that has stayed with me. Tomorrow I'll be unwrapping a new vinyl copy of it and I'm really looking forward to it. The song I listen to most is Wiser Time off their next album.

For me Electric Ladyland is the one. The one I've listen to most over the years and the one album I'd take to the desert island. I listen to it often and every time it sounds different.

Unfortunately much of this reads as a list of old albums I've simply long got tired of. Was hoping to find some gems, but it seems that I rarely listen to any albums lots these days. There's always so much else interesting new stuff to listen too and albums 20+ years old I've simply already listened to too much.. Humphh :-/
OK new stuff I see.
1. Turin breaks "we were here"
2. Kurt vile
3. Heartless bastard's, any albums good
4. Jamie woon.
5. Songhoy blues. Music in exile
6. ....
JeZ
New stuff, Alt-J - both albums, The National - all recent albums, Future Islands - Singles, Arcade Fire - Reflektor (leads back nicely to Funeral/Suburbs/Neon Bible)
Dream River by Bill Callahan is my top tip for late night CTFU zoning. It's a magic 40mins. First time I heard it was at midnight just as I was starting to nod off, it was one of those eureka moments of perfection.
Read up on the album afterwards and it was apparently intended to be a late night playback album, for drinking and nodding off to. Vindicated!
Ill Communication - Beastie Boys
Among the Living - Anthrax
G Love and Special Sauce - self titled first album
rumbledethumps sed> Satchel - Heartache & Honey
Nice one, I had no idea they released a second proper record... and copies seem to go for over £100. Great.
Fat bottomed girls they'll be riding today
So look out for those beauties oh yeah!
They won't be today Jekkyl!!
Anything by Natalie Merchant, but particularly Tigerlilly, can't believe she isn't more well known.
In Rainbows by Radiohead was a good call from earlier.
A lot of The The on here which is surprising, love Uncertain Smile as a song (Jules Holland on the piano for this one).
Crikey ,after reading the last two pages most of you are welcome all back to mine for a party! 😉
Most of mine have already been bagsied..
Led Zep II
Beastie boys Ill comm.
Ryan Adams heartbreaker
Underworld dubnobass....
My bloody valentine loveless
Sabres of paradise haunted dancehall & sabresonic
M83 till the dawn heals us.

All are listened to regularly .
