Albums you can listen to all the way through without skipping a track.

[LivingColour]

Off the top of my head, the first thing that came to me was Science by Incubus. And if I have the time, And Justice for All by Metallica.

The only records and CDs I keep anymore are ones that I can put on and listen to all the way through without getting tired of them. I'm really not interested in having anything else these days. I have way more records than I need but for the most part I find myself collecting more and more improvisational jazz stuff. Great records are never confined to one genre though... There are SO many that are solid from start to finish.

 

[phatster]

Cat Stevens-"Tea for the Tiller man"

 

[icenine]

Revolver
Blonde on Blonde
Armed Forces (almost impossible to break this one up)
Never Mind the Bollocks
the list just goes on and on

 

[Blast]

Although most albums by Pink Floyd fall in this category, 'Animals' tops the list.

 

[Sir.Byrd]

Everything is Illuminated soundtrack.

 

[marqueemoon]

For me the list of albums I skip around on is much shorter than the list of albums I like to hear all the way through.

 

[JonL]

I never skip a track.
And I rarely play only one side of an LP.
I almost always start on side one, and even if I have to stop listening after the side is over, I'll almost always listen to side two before anything else is played.

 

[SBEEZ]

Not really a full list, but a few I can think of off the top of my head.

Cat Stevens - Teaser and the Firecat
Grateful Dead - American Beauty
Fleetwood Mac - S/T
Fleetwood Mac - Then Play On
Television -Marquee Moon
Televsion - Adventure
The Doors - S/T
Killers - Hot Fuss
Arcade Fire - Funeral
The Dan - Aja
CSNY - Deja Vu
Jimi Hendrix Experience - Are You Experienced?

All great suggestions so far.

Warren Zevon ~ Excitable Boy
Doors ~ Morrison Hotel
Pink Floyd ~ Wish You Were Here

and yeah, i mainly spin the whole album whenever I play records but these stood out for some reason.

Some examples:

Howlin Wolf - Real Folk Blues
Everclear - Sparkle and Fade
Jethro Tull - Thick as a Brick (That's probably cheating)
Jethro Tull - Aqualung
Mike Oldfield - Tubular Bells (Cheating again)
The Who - Quadrophenia
Ben Harper with the Blind Boys of Alabama.
Ben Harper - Live From Mars
Allman Brothers - Beginnings
Miles Davis - Blueing
Miles Davis - Sketches of Spain
Wynton Marsalis - Gabriel's Garden

Music for 18 Musicians ~ Steve Reich

Warren Zevon ~ Excitable Boy
Doors ~ Morrison Hotel
Pink Floyd ~ Wish You Were Here

I could seriously play Excitable Boy on repeat through the day. "Night-time in the switching yard" is one I've never been terribly fond of though.

My avatar. The whole thing slides all together without a miss.

 

[SBEEZ]

I've always wanted to check out that Jefferson Airplane album. Great cover, if that's telling.

 

[tubed]

Greatest Hits albums are a good place to start.

 

[LivingColour]

Greatest Hits albums are a good place to start.

I never go for the "Greatest Hits" albums.

 

[Estring]

Just about any vinyl I have I will listen to all the way through. That's just how you listened to vinyl.
Fortunately, since most new music sucks, it is easy to skip lousy tracks on cd.
These are some of the albums that I would still listen to all the way through even on cd:
Any Beatle album
Jack Bruce- Songs For A Tailor
Any NRBQ album (with Al Anderson)
Any XTC album
Any Steely Dan album (up to and including Aja)
Gary Moore- Still Got The Blues
There are more, but I can't list them all.

David Gilmour - On An Island
Pauline Oliveros, Stuart Dempster, and Panaiotis - Deep Listening Band
Monolake - Silence
Gazpacho - Tick Tock
