Ditto.
I usually listen to full LPs or CDs. Ones that I prefer be played from beginning to end? Here’s a few:
The Who - Tommy or Quadrophenia
Van Halen - all of them, except III
The Police - all 5 albums.
Neil Young - After the Gold Rush, Harvest, Rust Never Sleeps
Alice Cooper - Love it to Death, Killer, Billion Dollar Babies
The Refreshments - Fizzy Fuzzy Big and Buzzy
Peter Frampton Comes Alive
Meat Loaf - Bat out of Hell
Boston - Boston
I think the single one would be Smash by The Offspring.
Lots of Bjork albums. Especially Vespertine.
**Criminal Minded **by Boogie Down Productions, a hip hop group
**Baduizm **by Erycah Badu. Never liked anything she did since then, though. Odd.
ETA: I almost forgot Live Through This by Hole. Love every song on that album.
Terence Trend D’Arby - “Introducing the Hardline According to Terence Trent D’Arby”
Carlos Santana and friends - “Supernatural”
I love singles; I wasted far too much money in my youth buying albums to get one or two songs, and the rest of the album is filler.
All **Bauhaus **- *Mask *and Burning From The Inside, especially
Sisters of Mercy - Floodland
**RHCP **- Blood, Sugar, Sex, Magik
Any Fall
Billy Bragg - Worker’s Playtime & Talking With The Taxman…
Birthday Party - Prayers on Fire
Pixies - any, but I find Bossanova best for listening right through
Jesus & Mary Chain - *Psychocandy *& Darklands
Einstürzende Neubauten - Halber Mensch, Haus der Lüge, Tabula Rasa, Ende Neu
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds -*From Her to Eternity,Kicking Against the Pricks,Your Funeral…My Trial,Tender Prey,Henry’s Dream *
Dido - No Angel, Life For Rent
Swans - Burning World
Dead Can Dance - Aion
10,000 Maniacs - In My Tribe,Blind Man’s Zoo, Our Time in Eden. For some reason, I never listen to Hope Chest or the early stuff all the way through.
Nice choice - his cover of Who’s Loving You on that CD is wonderful. I saw him in the states on a small-club tour before Wishing Well broke. He sang an acapella version of First Cut is the Deepest - whoa.
for obscure stuff - I will say **#1 Record **and Radio City, both by Big Star and **Marquee Moon **by **Television **- excellent stuff…
Television. Awesome.
I’ll add Ready to Die, B.I.G.
Would be interesting to see if we can guess each others’ ages with this list.
A list that is far too long, always transfer whole albums to mp3 players.
Recently, any album by Mylène Farmer, Happy Rhodes, Holly Cole, XueFei Yang, Zhao Cong, Zhong TingTing, The 12 Girls Band, Elisa, Orianthi, Heather Nova…
Too many to list.
Several Springsteen ones - Born In the USA, Tunnel of Love, The Rising.
American Fool, Uh-Huh, Scarecrow, The Lonesome Jubilee by John Mellencamp.
Building the Perfect Beast and The End of the Innocence by Don Henley.
The Stranger, 52nd Street, Glass Houses, An Innocent Man, and Stormfront by Billy Joel.
Centerfield by John Fogerty.
Boston, Don’t Look Back, and Third Stage by Boston.
Eliminator by ZZ Top.
I generally listen to entire albums, but there are a few which really must be heard sequentially to be appreciated.
Queen’s “A Night at the Opera” and also “Queen II” – the song order and segues are an essential element of these albums.
From Pink Floyd, also “Wish You Were Here” and “Animals”
Poe’s “Haunted”
Alice Cooper’s “Welcome to My Nightmare” (his best work IMO)
Queen - News of The World
Boston [brainfart - can’t remember name of the first album]
Earth, Wind, and Fire - Spirit
ELO - Out of the Blue and Time are both concept albums with Time actually telling a relatively coherent story.
Genesis - The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway.
Boomtown, David & David. This was the first thing I ever gave to a particular woman that I liked. She must have liked it too, I’m now married to her.
Deva Vu, CSNY
Chopin’s *Nocturnes *#9, 15, & 48. Beethoven’s *sonatas *#8, 14, & 29
Back in Black, AC/DC
++ for Unforgettable Fire, Boston, and Graceland
Bread! Man, I haven’t heard those guys in literally years…time to fire up iTunes…
BTW, The White Stripes suck donkey balls. Meg White, two things: learn to drum. And for god’s sake, buy a better-supporting bra.
On preview: ministryman, you’re going to kick yourself when you remember what Boston’s first album was called…
I was going to reply to your post and agree with your D+D choice - it stands up well and David Baerwald has done some other good stuff as well…
…but as for your comment about The White Stripes, I will just say YMMV, but I couldn’t disagree more and don’t see much need for the comment in this thread…
Amarok by Mike Oldfield - but the whole album is one 60 minute track.
I transfer whole albums also, but I listen to my MP3 player on shuffle when I walk.But it is sometimes frustrating. Some albums, especially older ones, have songs that segue very nicely - for instance most of the second side of Abbey Road, or the 3rd and 4th movements of Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony. Mostly though, years of listening to albums has caused me to build up an expectation of what comes next after a song, and not hearing the next track can be frustrating.
When I was in college I listened to reel-to-reel tapes with five albums per tape, and this built up odd expectations. The next track after Simon and Garfunkel’s “At the Zoo” is “Strange Brew” from Cream, for instance.
Especially when I just mentioned it two posts upthread from his. 
Hmm, perhaps you’re right; the White Stripes comment was probably not needed (at least in this thread).
My bad. Carry on,
for five years; always listen to it start to finish.

“Where is Love”**-Irene Kral vocals, with Alan Broadbent on piano
Coolness.
btw, I assume you know about David B’s association with Sheryl Crow’s first album, Tuesday Night Music Club? It was his TNMC…
