Albums that you listen to straight through / start to finish whenever you put them on!


So I have a few albums that whenever I play them I listen to the whole thing in sequence from beginning to end.
Of course some albums are meant to be that way, they are called concept albums. However, my question is not just for the obvious concept albums per se but for any album you play start to finish because it is strong throughout. All genres are included here so no limits on music preferences.

I’ll start with a few that come to mind -
The Moody Blues - The Days of Future Passed 
Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon
Alan Parsons Project- I Robot 
Miles Davis - In a Silent Way
Weather Report - Black Market

Brian Protheroe-first 3 Chrysalis albums
John McLaughlin-Electric Dreams,         Adventures in Radioland, Tokyo Live
Richie Cole-Bossa Nova Eyes
Joni-Court And Spark
ELP-Tarkus
The Bearles-A Huge Melody (or my covers version)
I came from reel to reel (fixed order) so I find random play usually more rewarding.
Surprise me.
I listen to vinyl LPs from start to finish upward of 90% of the time; otherwise it is one complete side or, rarely, the one outstanding track for which I purchased the album.  CDs and streaming are relegated to listening while driving; skipping tracks is pretty much the norm there.

“I love the MOODY Blues and most Tull stuff
but the recordings are so crappy.“

This is the complete opposite of my experience.  Also, in a recent thread here on A’gon concerning recordings readers recommended as “demonstration” quality, The Moody Blues “Days of Future Passed” and Tull’s “Thick as a Brick” and “Aqualung” were prominently noted.  “Aqualung” has been reissued on vinyl by MFSL, DCC, Classic Records, and, I believe, Acoustic Sounds.  I find it hard to believe that such highly regarded labels would waste any time and effort, not to mention the money, to reissue crappy recordings.

Enjoy the music.
Playing the entire album is typical of pre 80’s Lps.
They were ether all good or all crap, and I tossed the crap Lps.


I listen to all straight through unless some time restraint pops up.  Otherwise, it's both sides, A and B.  I like to approach an album as a piece of work that the artist intended me to hear in it's entirety.
