My most played track is probably the Main Title from On Her Majesty's Secret Service.

Tiomkin's battle music from The Alamo. Not so much recently, but it racked up countless plays when I was younger and I suspect it still outnumbers anything else.
Verrry interesting. That's my least played track on my most played album. The most played tracks: Overture and Main Title/De Guella.

I don't even know if it is the one track I played the most in my life, but if there is a single track in film music that condensates more than any other how I feel about life, how I think about life, who I am in life... it is THE RAZOR from the original FIRST BLOOD album. It's got the message from life and the message to life condensed into less than five minutes.
This is a helluva post, good show Nicolai, good show. Great cue too. Might sound creepy (not intended) but I might never play this the same way again.
It's just a really good cue, and the way Goldsmith edited these two cues for together for the album works so well. It's one hell of a cue. When the movie FIRST BLOOD came out, they showed a clip of Rambo breaking out of the police station and finally breaking free on TV, and I just heard that music for the very first time and thought "holy cow!". It raised the hairs on my neck. I had just started to collect film scores back then, and Jerry Goldsmith was already on the top of my list of composers to investigate, but that cue was really tipping the scales. I had to get more LPs by that fellow. :-) But first, I had to go see that movie, just for the music.
Of course, I did not mean to say I go through life breaking out of police stations. :-D
For me, the narrative of the cue is more like this: you go straight your way through life, sometimes there will be obstacles, sometimes life comes crashing down on you, sometimes it comes really crashing down on you, but when you struggle throught it and get out on the other end, it's triumphant... and then life's struggles continue. (or "rinse and repeat  ).

The Enterprise from Star Trek: The Motion Picture.
By a goodly margin.
Honorable mention for Ben's Death and TIE Fighter Attack.

YES! I listen to this cue A LOT. The way the orchestra builds to that crescendo, the scratchy synthesizer and the tapping snares before finally giving way to the brilliant fanfare. The brass perfectly captures the sound of something powerful breaking free. It's such a great combination of raw/primal and pure heroism. Plus the performance is absolutely inspired. Some of my favorite brass writing in those few precious moments.

) perhaps that has taken the lead ... or do different recordings not count?
