Which albums do you listen to only in their entirety?

[tented]

There are three albums (not including classical) which I only listen to from start to finish, in their entirety. I never listen to one or two songs — only straight through, without skipping any.

- Bob Dylan - John Wesley Harding

- Van Morrison - Astral Weeks

- Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon

Each of these works best when listened to as if they’re one long piece, not separate songs. The Pink Floyd is most obvious, since each song flows into the other, except where a stop had to be inserted to flip the album.

Does anyone else do this? If so, which albums?

I AM stranded in an airport Fair away from home but logged in Just to stay that i ALWAYS listen entire albums, only occasionaly jump one song here and there, or rather repeat one.

I don't even like to talk with savages who listen to individual songs.

Just thought of one more (because I'm listening to it right now)

Elton John - Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy

So many excellent ones. Astral Weeks, for sure, and Dark Side of the Moon...also I agree with Don Fabio on Massive Attack. Concept albums have nearly gone by the wayside, but Beyoncé's Lemonade is a start-to-finish one. U2's "Unforgettable Fire" (and "Joshua Tree," for me,) "London Calling" by The Clash. Jeff Buckley's "Grace." "Darkness on the Edge of Town." "Madman across the Water." Just throwing in a few.

@tented: you excluded Classical for obvious reasons, and I'd exclude Jazz for the same. Maybe for another thread...the ones we can't live without.

I agree that once You get an album going let it flow....

Imperial Bedroom by Elvis Costello
Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys
Tapestry by Carole King
So by Peter Gabriel
Tunnel of love by Bruce Springsteen
The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill
I Never Loved a Man the Way I Love You by Aretha Franklin
What’s going on by Marvin Gaye

I will add 1 I forgot to mention last time & say the Beatles red album. I have to add that I only skip a couple off the blue album.
