For me:
It's Bernstein conducting the Vienna Philharmonic playing Beethoven 5th Symphony on Deutsche Grammophon.
I have had a copy of this since I was 7.

Sure, we come back to these gems precisely because they are brilliant compositions performed by masters. They are…eternal. There are always cool, new interpretation and new pieces, but how do you argue with the perfection left to us by the greats of classical, jazz, rock, and more??
I find that each time I go back to an old gem I hear MORE than I heard before. I hear with more informed ears and with a better mind. I can understand and appreciate these pieces more each time I hear them. They give to me gifts each time.
Why would you ever abandon music like that?

I regularly revisit Love is the Only Answer by TFK as well as Memento z Banalnym Tryptykiem by SBB. But I can't say there are any songs that I don't get tired of after listening to each one over and over again. The key is not to overplay your favorite songs.
"Stardust We Are", TFK. Lots of lovely and emotional melodies and moments in that piece.

National Health self titled never gets old for me, along with Rascal Reporters - Happy Accidents.
I can't really think of any, because I listen to so much new music. In fact, I can't remember the last classic, old song that I returned to. Huh.

Some more of those progressive albums I've been fond/very fond of since the 1970s:
Genesis - Trespass
Mike Oldfield - Tubular Bells
Lean-Luc Ponty - Upon the Wings of Music
Bo Hansson - Lord of the Rings
Focus - Hamburger Concerto
Rick Wakeman - No Earthly Connection
Weather Report - Black Market
This is an album I never get tired of:
Hard to say, but perhaps 'Maximising the audience' by Wim Mertens. It was my first album by him and played it to death after I bought it, starting with side one and returning to side one after having played side four.
I would say most of the "Classic Prog" songs from the 70's.
Even though I have heard them most of my life, The Middle period Yes, GG In a Glass House, Camel , Caravan Nine Feet Underground, National Health, Bruford, Gong trilogy, Secret Oyster - Straight to the Krankenhaus, KC - Red
Magazine, XTC, TFK - Stardust We Are ( and more )
Bill Frisell - everything
Stereolab - Emperor Tomato Ketchup, Dots and Loops, Cobra Phases, etc
and on and on
