I don't know if I could ever pick a favorite album, it just depends on the day, but if there is one that I come back to most often it's Incubus's S.C.I.E.N.C.E. It's indulgent in a fun, unserious, sort of manic kind of way. They play like kid's in a musical candy shop, and when I listen to them the feeling is mutual. Honorable mention to Afungus Amongus.

Definitely a tie between Where Have All The Merrymakers Gone? from Harvey Danger, Never Bet The Devil Your Head from Subrosa, and Example from Four Squirrels. They're currently my favorite CD albums out of the small collection I've gotten over the last year.
I've been listening to Wolfie's Just Fine a lot recently

I'm too mercurial and indecisive to ever have a definitive favourite anything. So here's three that do well on different metrics:
PJ Harvey - Let England Shake
It's one of the strongest first halves of an album ever in my opinion.
Funkadelic - Maggot Brain
Fond memories, and if you've nothing to do for an hour headphones, the two of you and a comfy chair are still a great way to pass it.
Talking Heads - Fear of Music Probably the album I've listened to most. Lot of big tunes here.
High mare - dead pirates
The Tragically Hip - Live Between Us
Hellmode - Jeff Rosenstock
The only other thing I'm listening to atm. is the Monogatari series openings and endings
Today/the last week, I have been mostly listening to Instant Rewards by Tides from Nebula, along side their previous album From Voodoo to Zen.
Mercury by Imagine Dragons
The Graveyard and Voodoo by King Diamond
Voodoo by D'Angelo is another top tier album
At this moment -
The Boy Bands Have Won by Chumbawumba.
It had been taken off Spotify for a while but it's back and I can't get enough.
"Enn" by Eivør, simply amazing! Was on a concert a few weeks back, totalt 600 people and it was a blast!
Have a listen: https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_mfYUyMRk-zYA1V1Z04a7GGB106N2JT5vU
My wife saw her last week with a band called Heilung. That looked pretty out the gates
Treat yourself to Fontaines DC's new album "Romance"!

I played this in my house when it came out because I liked Skinty Fia; my kid immediately said "play that again please, the whole album". I love it!
A Boat On The Sea by Moron Police. Can't wait for their next album!
Free Throw - Those Days Are Gone.
It's just a solid album top to bottom and I've been vibing with it for awhile, now.
twisted by design - strung out
Unleash the archers album "Demons of the AstroWaste"
One of the few albums I can groove to cover to cover.
I love Demons. Seems like most people are moving on to their more recent melodic power sound, but Demons had such a perfect mix of melodic and thrashy. Plus, Daughters of Winterstone might be my favorite song of theirs.
The one I'm writing! I don't have anything released yet, but when I do, I hope it becomes your new favorite album!
