Not a duff track.

(I’d prefer if the start of Exit wasn’t so unlistenably quiet, though. Turn it up and the rest of the song kills your ears when it kicks in.)

A Walk Across the Rooftops - The Blue Nile

Rubber Soul - The Beatles

Grace and Danger - John Martyn

Tannin

What are your top three albums that you can return to time and again and not get bored

Easy question. That would be Tannin's Greatest Hits, More of Tannin's Greatest Hits, and ... er ... probably Tannin's Greatest Hits Volume III. (I'll let you know when I get around to recording the first one. Don't hold your breath.)

Alternatively, try:

461 Ocean Boulevard (Eric Clapton & friends) 
Aqualung (Jethro Tull)
Let it Bleed (Rolling Stones)

461 is quite possibly the best album ever recorded in the History of the Universe but pretty much the only Clapton album I'd bother with, but I'll happily have quite a few records of the other two acts.

I've already discovered tonnes of cool new music from this thread...

It'll change, today's are, in no particular order

Green On Red - Gas Food Lodging

American Music Club - Engine

Dream Syndicate - Medicine Show

Blueingreen

Any 3 I pick will be a bit random but, assuming rock/pop only these seem a reasonable shout:

Abbey Road - The Beatles

Sticky Fingers - The Rolling Stones

Aja - Steely Dan

Jonathangus

Don't know if they're definitely top 3 (apart from the first), but never get bored of these:

@Placidcasual79 ;
It’s only these past few months that I’ve fallen in love with that King Tubby/Augustus Pablo album. Truly fantastic, especially when it’s played at a decent volume on the hi-fi!

Its such a great record - and like most great records it should be played loud - Dub particular as it was made to sound immense coming through the huge speakers of a Jamaican sound system..... I've owned this record for nearly 23 years and never tire of it - I've had it on vinyl, cd and now download..... weirdly for a record that should be played at volume every recording of it I've had is really quite.....

King Tubby is hardly unknown but is vastly underrated as a producer/artist in my view - he was incredibly innovative and musical......

Blue
For the roses
Court & Spark

Hejira as a sub if need be.

I can listen to Joni Mitchell forever.

Reverend

Iron Maiden - Killers
Trouble - Psalm 9
Manowar - Hail To England

Funkfingers

Hejira is a good choice.  

Today's trio?
Richard Thompson - Strict Tempo!
King Crimson - Discipline
Miles Davis - A Tribute To Jack Johnson

Deadman

The Damned - Machine gun etiquette 
The Jam - Sound Affects
RHCP - Bloodsugarsexmagik

ICBM

Lloyd Cole & The Commotions - Rattlesnakes
Heather Nova - Oyster
Crowded House - Together Alone

Or alternatively, kind-of cheats because they’re not original studio albums…

The Beatles - 1967-1970
Eagles - Live
Dire Straits - Alchemy

Sporky

This'll change in a year or month. I don't really do all time. Also ideally I'd do four and include DVNE's latest. So I will. 

Haych

Dire Straits - Dire Straits
Del Amitri - Twisted
Rush - Moving Pictures

equalsql

Humble Pie - Performance Rockin' The Fillmore


Andrew Gold - What’s Wrong With This Picture?


The Black Crowes -  The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion

Kebabkid

Live & Dangerous- Thin Lizzy 
The Nightfly - Donald Fagen
Spilt Milk - Jellyfish

RandallFlagg

Depends on mood, too many to shortlist to just 3 but Never Mind The Bollocks Here's The Sex Pistols would be top 3 if not number 1. 

Kilgore

Today's choices would be:

Abbey Road - The Beatles

Doolittle - Pixies

Any lightnin' Hopkins album

IvanMC

How utterly tough to have to mention only 3... I'll agree with @Philly_Q , 100%: I'd almost certainly say something different another day. But today I'll say:
1) Coast to Coast, by the majestic, glorious Steve Morse.
2) Tres Caballeros, by none other than the sublime Aristocrats.
3) Sex & Religion, by Sir Steve Vai (VAI -the band- back in the day).

P.S.: have I left out Black Sabbath's Vol. 4 and Sabotage? Oh no...
