I may have posted something like this in the past, but what the heck...

What are your albums that you can listen to start to finish, enjoying every track without skipping? Best Of's do not count. Maybe I'm weird that I don't own too many CDs that meet this criteria. I always find a couples songs I hate, even if I love the band. Here's mine from a quick peek through my collection.

Slippery When Wet - Bon Jovi....don't give me any sass about this one!

OK Computer - Radiohead....almost too hip for me on a couple tracks, but I dig it as a whole body of work.

Shake Your Money Maker - The Black Crowes.....too bad they became whacked out stoners on the rest of their work.

Appetite for Destruction - Guns and Roses.....my high school soundtrack.

...And Justice For All - Metallica.....holy crap this album still kicks butt!

Brand New Man - Brooks and Dunn....I quit listening to new country probably 10 years ago, but still break this out every couple months.

Great thread, SMan! This should be interesting.

I also have a ton of great albums with one or two skippable songs, but not too terribly many that I love the entire way through. I guess I'd go with:

Grandaddy - "Sumday"

Postal Service - "Give Up"

Guster - "Keep it Together" (I actually get sad by the time I get to the third-to-last song, because I know it's almost over)

Ben Folds Five - "Whatever and Ever Amen"

Soul Coughing - "El Oso"

Richard Butler - "Richard Butler"



I'll probably think of other obvious ones I missed in the middle of the night tonight....bear with me, please.

Marilyn Manson, Antichrist Superstar
White Zombie's Super Sexy Swingin' Sounds
Prince Parade, 1999, Sign O the Times and New Power Soul
Korn, Life is Peachy and the self titled CD
Natalie Merchant, Tigerlily
Cinderella, Long Cold Winter
Pantera, Vulgar Display of Power

I think there's one of Alice in Chains and at least one of Zeppelin but I don't know where my box sets are in this messy house. I'd have a whole bunch if greatest hits were allowed. I can't believe I couldn't find one Madonna where I don't skip a song but it's true.

Oh man, I forgot Purple Rain. Duh.

Wow! Most of my cds have instrumental songs that I have to skip.

Any Guns N' Roses I can listen to the entire way through

The first Stone Sour CD

Life is Peachy from Korn

Dirt from Alice in Chains

The Crusade from Trivium

That's probably about it. Does that mean these are my REAL favorite bands?

I've got 6 off the top of my head.

Counting Crows- August and everything after
Rage against the machine
Automatic for the people- REM
Darkness on the edge of town- Bruce
White ladders- David Gray
Siamese dream- Smashing Pumpkins

Casting Crowns - Between the Alter and the Door
Casting Crowns - LifeSong
Styx - Mr. Roboto
Styx - Pieces of Eight
Styx - Paradise Theater

Enigma - MCMXC A.D.
Filter - Short Bus
Marilyn Manson - Antichrist Superstar, Holy Wood
Metallica - Master of Puppets, And Justice For All, Black Album
Nine Inch Nails - Pretty Hate Machine, Downward Spiral, Ghosts I-IV
Nirvana - Nevermind
Pink Floyd - The Wall, Meddle, Dark Side
Tool - Aenima, Lateralus, 10,000 Days

I was listening to Syxy Best Of this morn on the way in. I'd love to see David Cook do "Miss America".

Hmm. That could be another candidate for my list. Further review is necessary.

Snoop - David Cook? Are you an Idol fan??

Guns N Roses: Appetite For Destruction
Lies
Use Your Illusion I & II

All the Doors albums except possibility, An American Prayer which is a lot of poetry.

Black Sabbath, Heaven and Hell

Eminem, The Marshall Mathers LP

Everlast, Whitey Ford Sings the Blues

Alanis Morissette, Jagged Little Pill


I'm sure there's more but these just popped in my head.

first & foremost - ANY & ALL Foo Fighters!

Led Zepplin - Houses of the Holy & Led Zepplin II

Presidents of the United States - self-titled

Soundtrack of Sleepless in Seattle (uh, yeah, I know - but if I'm in a "mood", it's perfect - what can I say??)

KIX - self-titled & Cool Kids

Deaf Pedestrian - And Other Destinations

Red Hot Chili Peppers - By the Way

Eminem - the Eminem Show & The Slim Hady LP

Garbage - Version 2.0

Stone Temple Pilots - self-titled & Core

Watched Idol for the first time this season -- my daughter likes it. I am a bit unimpressed the last few weeks -- I think the quality of the songs done has gone down instead of up. But each one has a certain niche I think they will be successful in to some degree.

I used to know that CD backwards and forwards. I would have put it on this list years ago, along with RHCP Blood Sugar Sex Magik, but I wore those two out so much that I can't bare them anymore, even after all these years.

Pink Floyd - "Dark Side of the Moon" and "The Wall".

Stoner.
