.....that you know or estimate that you have listened to all the way through the most number of times (in any format); and why?

Mine; Frank Zappa - One Size Fits All.

My Gran's next door neighbour lent me the vinyl version in the late 70's which I taped and played and played until there was dust flying out of my Pye music centre.

I still play it (the CD) regularly to this day. The reason; probably the finest group of musicians ever to have graced a studio who can still, from start to finish, make a middle-aged bloke smile, cry, dance and wince!

A number of them over the years: Bowie's 'Hunky Dory', Kinks 'Sunny Afternoon', The Hollies 'The other side of The Hollies', Crowded House 'Woodface'...

Hmm, all time listen count is likely something like Slade, "Old, New, Borrowed and Blue' or the 'Quo's "Piledriver"  Shock

Garbage's self titled debut.

 

One of my all time favorites.

iTunes recons its 'One time for all time' by 65DaysOfStatic, but factoring in CD play I recon its probably 

 

First heard it in '98, rocked my tiny world Smile

RE: What is the one album......

Difficult, as I have to choose between four albums (all Floyd). Guess "Wish You Were Here" would just shade it, but it's close!

I hate to think how many times I've played Brave by Marillion, I just never tire of it.
