How often does that happen to you?

At work I have 40 or so CDs. Out of all of these CDs, here is a list of those that I do not skip over any songs:  
Carole King’s Tapestry  
Alanis Morissette’s Jagged Little Pill  
Big Boi and Dre Presents. . . Outkast  
Saturday Morning (Punk rock bands playing old cartoon songs)  
Bob Marley’s Legend.

That’s only 5 CDs out of 40-- and two of those are greatest hits CDs. Is it that I’m super picky or is it really hard for anyone to find an album in which they love all of the songs? What are your Love 'em All picks?

U2’s _The Joshua Tree_. Not a bad song on it.

Just a few off the top of my head, and in no particular order:

Fleetwood Mac - _Rumors_  
Tori Amos - _Little Earthquakes_  
Alanis Morissette - _Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie_  
Liz Phair - _Whitechocolatespaceegg_  
Nirvana - _Nevermind_  
The Eagles - _Greatest Hits 1971-1975_  
Counting Crows - _August and Everything After_ and _Recovering the Satellites_  
Fiona Apple - both albums  
Joan Osborne - _Relish_

I would put more albums by Tori, but there is always one song I don’t like, even if I love the rest of the album. For example, my favorite album is _From the Choirgirl Hotel_, but I hate the last song.

I tend to listen to the album as a whole (all right, I’m old enough to tend to listen to the album as a whole) and I have to like pretty much all of it for it to qualify as a favorite. I don’t like to have to skip over half the songs or make a playlist of only the ones I like. I like to be able to put it on and leave it.

_Yankee Hotel Foxtrot_ by Wilco, although I do skip the ambient noise that comprises the last six-or-so minutes of “Reservations,” the album’s final track.

I’d also say Radiohead’s _OK Computer_. I never listen to “Fitter Happier,” but since it’s more of a spoken-word piece than a song, I guess the disc still technically meets the OP’s requirements.

Sadly, I only have FIVE that have not already been mentioned, and between my husband and myself there are over 300 CD’s in the collection:

_Living With Ghosts_ - Patti Griffin  
_Ten_ - Pearl Jam  
_Back In Black_ - AC/DC  
_Greatest Hits Volume I_ - James Taylor  
_Fly_ - Dixie Chicks (which, incidentally, also includes a cover of a song on the Patti Griffin CD)

(I also really dig _Tapestry_ and _Jagged Little Pill_ but they have already been listed so I left them off my list.)

I agree with the selection and to help it qualify I always listen to Fitter Happier. Believe it or not I always put it on at the end of my work outs.

[Stephen Hawking sounding voice]“regular exercise at the gym…three days a week”.

I have my own to add but I got to catch my ride home from work.
