It could be "This Nations Saving Grace" The Fall..

It's really hard to know. I could easily look at my last.fm, but that would only tell me information from when I started to use the site. I was probably 26 or 27 when I signed up for last.fm, so there's literally decades of undocumented listening before that.
If I had to guess, I'd say one of the early David Axelrod albums; Song of Innocence, Songs of Experience, or Earthrot.

I think for me its:
Lilys - Eccsame the Photon Band

Probably Graceland. It's warm and unobtrusive in the background, catchy & buoyant if i'm actively listening.

It's probably 'Loveless', even though I don't think I've listened to it for some two years now.

I think the most interesting thing about Last.fm logs has been discovering that even records I feel like I played constantly for a year turn out to be about 10-15 plays though the whole thing, given around 100 track counts for a favored release. Even as a kid with LPs and a Walkman, I now have the sense that most albums got around 10 played before they seemed familiar enough to move on to the next shiny hype. Making a wild guess at albums that I couldn't get enough of, and still dip into: Badmotorfinger, Double Nickles on the Dime, Money Jungle.

This year the koze one

I don't know why it didn't occur to me earlier, but I'm currently listening to Broadcast and the Focus Group Investigate Witch Cults of the Radio Age and that's a thing that I've done front-to-back at least every couple of months since its release, so if it isn't quite my most listened-to yet it's very quickly on its way there.

Very possibly my favorite album of the 21st Century.

Either Violator or Music for the Masses. I listened to those cassettes so much. I actually bought Music for Masses on cassette for a second time at one point, because my first one wore out.

Mainly because of longevity, my most-played album might be any of these (purchased as new releases by my father, later stolen by my brother/me, subsequently repurchased on CD):
The Doors, STHendrix, Are You Experienced?The Beatles, Abbey RoadDylan, Nashville Skyline
or it might be In a Silent Way

in more modern times, according to last.fm, my most listened to album is Of Montreal - False Priest, which kind of surprised me but is probably accurate

Has to be MX-80 Sound's "Hard Attack"

One from LAMF, What's the Matter Boy? Two Sevens Clash or Best Dressed Chicken in Town.

Van Dyke Parks Song Cycle
― flappy bird, Monday, 17 September 2018 20:44 (five years ago) link
probably Chet Baker Sings

Alien Lanes, with Odessy and Oracle a close second

Stooges: Funhouse, maybe - as a classic I've listened to since teenage years. The Cure's Pornography also fits that category.
― Duke, Monday, 17 September 2018 21:15 (five years ago) link
Close To The Edge. Been playing it since 1974.
― mike t-diva, Monday, 17 September 2018 21:20 (five years ago) link
I'd guess it's probably something I played as "background" while studying in high school or college — Music for Airports, Kind of Blue, Brandenburg Concertos (Trevor Pinnock/DG Archiv). During this decade, it's John Maus's We Must Become the Pitiless Censors of Ourselves.

It would probably be something from my high school days when I only had a handful of cassettes and a Walkman - most likely something by Oingo Boingo.

Keith Jarrett's Sun Bear Concerts. I must have listened to them a hundred times at the end of my school years.
