Quite a while back I started this same exact thread and got some very good albums from it. Now I’m back again, mining Doper gold. My musical tastes tend to be all over the map and the years. I’m also not a snobby purist, so Greatest Hits and compilation CDs work out fine for me. In fact, I LOVE Greatest Hits and comps because there is a very high chance that I will not hit the ‘skip’ button on my walkman at all while listening to one. This is so NOT the case with straight forward CDs. Of the 70 or so CDs (maybe more-- I’ve never actually counted) I have at work, there are only 5 that I do not hit the skip button on. I LOVE every song on these CDs Tapestry-- Carole King Rumours-- Fleetwood Mac Play-- Moby Kish Kash-- Basement Jaxx Songs About Jane (the newest member of this list)-- Maroon 5 I want to cheat and put Jagged Little Pill on this list but I must confess, I skip Mary Jane. So Dopers, what are some of your no-skip, non-greatest hits, love EVERY song on this CD? ---

**Paul Simon** - _Graceland_ **Born to Run** - _Bruce Springsteen_ **Blaze of Glory** - _Joe Jackson_ **Sports** - _Huey Lewis and the News_ **Trick of the Tail** - _Genesis_ **Thick as a Brick** - _Jethro Tull_ … are some that come readily to mind. ---

Heh. I’d like to say Born to Run and Darkness on the Edge of Town, but I don’t like Tenth Avenue Freeze Out and Adam Raised a Cain, the second song on each respectively. It’s not just that they follow the unfollowable Thunder Road and Badlands (my favorite BS song I think) but the style is jarring. Anyhoo, I’d go with Emmylou Harris - Red Dirt Girl Bruce Springsteen - The River Bruce Springsteen - Nebraska Bruce Springsteen - Tunnel of Love Soundtrack to Thelma & Louise Meat Loaf - Bat Out of Hell Abba - Gold REM - Automatic for the People Dire Straits - Alchemy (Live) Peter Gabriel - Plays Live ---

LZIV shouldn’t really count for me since I don’t have it on CD yet, and if I did I’d skip _Four Sticks_ some of the time. But when I’m listening on tape it’s not worth it to skip (and it’s not a _bad_ song, just not as good as the other 7 tracks.) Otherwise: – Heart, _Dreamboat Annie_. – _Echo and the Bunnymen_. – Beastie Boys, _Paul’s Boutique_. – Everything by Pink Floyd _except_ TDB, AHM, More, and ASoS. (_Ummagumma_ isn’t their best but over the years I’ve grown to like all the tracks on it about the same.) – Everything by … and You Will Know us by the Trail of Dead. – Dashboard Confessional - _Places you have Come to Fear the Most_. It’s not often that I have an urge to listen to it (as opposed to seeing them live,) but when I do I don’t skip tracks. – Coheed and Cambria - _In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth 3_. (Wouldn’t it be funny if that album were put out by …AYWKubtToD and had SSoSFAGTiaCaGwaP on it? Or is it just me?) ---

I listen to a surprising number of my CDs straight through. Some of mine are there already ( **JAMC, NO, VF** ). I would put _Jagged Little Pill there. **Joy Division** - Closer **Kate Bush** - The Kick Inside, Never Forever & The Sensual World **10 000 Maniacs** - Hope Chest & Our Time in Eden **R.E.M**. - Out of Time **Pixies** - Doolittle & Trompe Le Monde **Dido** - No Angel **Bauhaus** - Mask \*\*Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - From Her to Eternity & Tender Prey **Einsturzende Neubauten** - Halbe Mensch **Shelleyan Orphan** - Century Flower **Stone Roses** Stone Roses **My Bloody Valentine** - Isn’t Anything **Jethro Tull** - Heavy Horses, Songs from the Wood & Crest of a Knave **Cocteau Twins** - Treasure_, \*Garlands _& Victorialand **Dead Can Dance** - Aion \* **The Cure** - Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me & Three Imaginary Boys_ **New Model Army** - _Thunder & Consolation_ Any **Billy Bragg** album Any **Smiths** Album **Morrisey** - _Viva Hate_ ---

I listen to almost everything clear through–guess it’s my luddite background, pre-cd as it is. However, in the spirit of the thread, the ones I have loaded onto my computer at work that I will sit and listen to five or six times through in a row: Sting, **Songs from the Labyrinth** Evanescence, **everything they’ve released** Piffaro, **Stadtpfeffer–Music of the Renaissance** ---

The Jackson 5 Greatests Hits is one of my all time favorites and I will sing each and every one of those songs at the top of my very horrible voice— but I didn’t count it because, well, it’s a Greatests Hits CD. So it’s kind of cheating. You know, picking only the cream of the crop. ---

Let’s see - Terence Trent D’Arby - “Introducing the Hardline According to Terence Trent D’Arby” Prozzak - “Saturday People” Santana - “Supernatural” (this is one of my all time favourite albums, period.) Dwight Yoakam - “Between the Covers” (he does a bluegrass cover of the Clash’s “Train in Vain” that really works. All of his covers work. I don’t like country much, but I have to respect an artist who can do this.) The Eagles - All of their stuff. Prince - “Purple Rain,” “Sign of the Times,” “O|-\> (Symbol Album),” “Batman Soundtrack” Alicia Keys - “Songs in A Minor,” “Diary of Alicia Keys” Led Zeppelin - “Zeppelin Four” Stevie Ray Vaughan - “In Step” Robbie Robertson - “Robbie Robertson” The Funk Brothers - “Standing in the Shadows of Motown” Platinum Blonde - “Standing in the Dark” Black Eyed Peas - “Monkey Business” INXS - “Kick” Queen - “The Game” ---

**Manhattan Transfer** - _Mecca For Moderns_. I can’t help it, I even dig the ultra-poppy-easy-listening _Smile Again_, and the experimental-sounding _Kafka_. Everything else on the album is slam dunk. **Manhattan Transfer** - _Vocalese_. Far easier to explain to my friends. There ain’t a clunker, or even a near-clunker, on this beauty. ---
