I had a VIP pass at Perfect Circles last concert ever here in Wallingford, got to hang out with Maynard and Howerdel also their opening band a Japanese girl thrash band called Red Bacteria Vacuum. Supposedly they are reforming again but I also here rumors of Tool reforming, I have seen all iterations except Ashes Divide.  Tool and Puscifer are my favorites.

Wow, that's a toughie for me.
I had to wonder and ponder if that means albums that I play frequently or rather albums I rate as highly crafted classics.

What jumps out at me right now would be the Who's Who's Next? Another would be Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon

Tom Petty--Wildflowers
Neil Young--After The Goldrush
The Killers--Sam's Town

In no particular order.

I could never answer really answer this...It would have to be by genre. I worked in a records store for a bunch of years before deciding to jump back into screen printing.

I will say the three top albums played in the shop as of late has been:

Demon Fuzz - Afreaka!
Menahan Street Band - S/T
El Micheles Affair - Enter the 36th chamber.

Mixed in with lots of Black Sabbath and Doom metal.

I try to keep it mellow when printing.

I am a midwesterner at heart.  Born in MN and raised in the Lutheran Church, don't chya know.  I do like some southern rock as well.  What's interesting about After The Goldrush is it's listed as a lot of musicians most influential album.

Miles Davis - Kind of Blue
Tom Waits - Closing Time
