What album(s) can you listen all the way through without skipping a track?

Such a good question, because so many great records have at least one that's I'll skip

 

I'd love to say Animals too, Terry, as it's one of my all time fav's...but I'd be lying if I said I didn't skip track one and go right to Dogs every time.  :)

 

Dark Side, I'll typically skip On the Run...great song, but gives me flashbacks

 

Abbey Road...as good as it gets, but I always skip Octopus's Garden

 

Sgt. Pepper: Within without you - SKIP

 

So here's where I'm at...not my favorite records, but definitely ones that I spin front to back

 

PF: The Wall

Led Zeppelin II

Led Zeppeln III

Zappa: Joe's Garage

Wilco: Sky Blue Sky

Kiss: Hotter than Hell

Metallica: And Justice for All

Kings of Leon: Only by the night

Weezer: Blue Album

Too many to list so early in the morning, but I'll try a few...

 

Dark Side and The Wall

 

Zeppelin I-IV minus Black Dog, plus Houses of the Holy

 

Every Beatles album minus Yellow Submarine, and ever since I stopped doing acid I don't listen to the last two tracks of the White Album.  Don't care much for Octopus's Garden, but my daughter loves it. :)

 

Every Dylan album up to Pat Garrett, minus Self Portrait, also Blood on the Tracks, Basement Tapes, Desire, Street Legal, Slow Train, Infidels, World Gone Wrong.  Everything else I have to skip at least one.

 

Every Neil album until Reactor...not a huge fan of the grungy stuff.  Also Old Ways, Harvest Moon, Silver and Gold

 

The Who - Tommy, Quadrophenia, Who's Next

 

Moody Blues - Everything from Days of Future Past to Seventh Sojourn.  Those are the only albums of theirs I listen to at all, but don't need to skip anything.

 

Simon & Garfunkel - Sounds of Silence through Bridge Over Troubled Water.  I could do without "Cloudy" and "Feelin' Groovy."

 

Allman Bros - Brothers & Sisters, Eat a Peach, Idlewild, Fillmore

 

Van Morrison - Astral Weeks, Common One, Hard Nose, Moondance, Dominic's, Philosopher's Stone, Tupelo Honey

 

Blind Faith - the one they did

 

Springsteen - Born USA, Born to Run, Darkness, Tom Joad, Nebraska, The River, Tunnel of Love

 

CCR - the compilation album that everyone has and seems to be the only one that anyone has. :D

 

Wilburys - the first one

 

Talking Heads - Stop Making Sense and True Stories

 

CSN & sometimes Y - CSN, Deja Vu, Daylight, C,S & N

 

Fogelbergen - I have to skip at least one song on every album except Souvenirs but I had to throw him in

 

Wings - Band on the Run, Red Rose, Wings Over America

McCartney solo - McCartney, Ram

 

George - All Things Must Pass, Living in the Material World, Somewhere in England, 33 1/3, Cloud Nine minus the last track

 

John - Imagine, Plastic Ono

 

Jackson Browne - Late for the Sky, For Everyman, Hold Out, Lawyers in Love, Lives in the Balance, Saturate, Pretender, Running on Empty

 

Eagles - Everything up to the break-up.  The Long Run is my least favorite.

Henley solo - I Can't Stand Still and Building the Perfect Beast

 

Dire Straits - Brothers in Arms, Love over Gold, Making Movies

 

Randy Newman - Good Old Boys, Sail Away

 

ELO - Face the Music through Out of the Blue

 

Stones - everything from Aftermath to Goat's Head Soup

 

Ugh, I can't do it anymore.  I'm sure I'll think of more later.  I'm going back to bed.

This was tough to keep a short list. My tastes can be a bit eclectic, and I tend to listen and listen and listen until I know every nuance of an album... so I have a lot that I listen to all the way through.

 

Here is the short list in no particular order:

 

  • Blue Man Group - The Complex
  • Led Zeppelin - Physical Graffiti  - Disk 1
  • Mavericks - Trampoline
  • King's X - Faith Hope Love
  • Dixie Chicks - Fly
  • Better than Ezra - Before the Robots
  • The Arc Angels - self titled
  • AC/DC - Back in Black
  • Sting - Mercury Falling
  • Toy Matinee - self titled
  • Rush - 2112 - Side A
  • Primus - Frizzle Fry
  • Metallica - Black Album
