I was talking in a pub last night, and to cut a long story short, we started discussing albums which you could listen to in their entirity without feeling the need to skip a track on. (Some people may have lots, but i tend to be inclined to skip through a track I do not have a strong liking for, so find it is very rare I get an album I regularly listen to in it's entirety...)
My Choices:
Everything Must Go: Manic Street Preachers
Boy's Don't cry: The Cure
Stanley Road: Paul Weller
Songs for the Deaf: Queens of the Stone Age

Songs for the Deaf: Queens of the Stone Age
Lemme guess, self-made mix cds don't count? If yes, I'll post the track listing 😉
Normal cds:
-Alanis Morissette: Jagged Little Pill, Supposed former infatuation Junkie (depending on if I'm in the mood), So-Called Chaos.
-Aerosmith: Oh, Yeah! - Ultimate Aerosmith Hits
-Dire Straits: On Every Street
-Guns 'n Roses: Use Your Illusion II
-Joan Osborne: Relish
-Metallica: Live with the San Francisco Orchestra
-Supertramp: Breakfast in America
Arcade Fire: Funeral
The Postal Service: Give Up
The Libertines: Up the Bracket
The Weakerthans: Fallow
Television: Marquee Moon
I have all of Bach's Brandenburg Concertos, and I never skip tracks there either. Ditto for Mozart's 'Great Mass in C Minor' and Chopin's Preludes, but no collection of those things is an 'album', as the thread demands.
Arcade Fire - Funeral
Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon
Goldfrapp - Felt Mountain
Radiohead - Hail to the Thief
Radiohead - OK Computer
Radiohead - The Bends
Radiohead - Amnesiac
Radiohead - Kid A
Tori Amos - From the Choirgirl Hotel
Jimi Hendrix - Axis: Bold as Love
Nick Drake - Five Leaves Left

Originally posted by StarrmanI was going to include 'OK Computer', but I always skip 'Fitter Happier' because it's stupid 😛.

...even though 'Fold Your Hands, Child, You Walk Like a Peasant' is superior in every respect.
