Flawless Albums (aka "skip button" not required):

[Cylob]

You've accidentally broken the 'skip' button (one too many hopeless techno tracks). What would you play now?

I-Robots : Italo Electro Disco Underground Classics

When Mr Disco met Mr New Wave, somewhere (I believe) high up in the Italian Alps. To be honest I couldn't name more than 5 Italian bands, but when the music police come knocking I'll be hiding behind this. :D

Any of my 60 Pink Floyd albums.

Or any of my 25 Rush albums.

I thought that was the complete collection, but 60!!!! :D

[gaekwad2]

I mostly listen to complete albums without skipping.

Yesterday I listend to five Zeni Geva albums in a row (the thought alone should drive Cylob up the wall).

[deeder7001]

The Tea Party - Seven Circles

Never pick a brand new release for a list like this. It'll definately not last.

[Spazz333]

It looks like it'll last for me anyways. :) It's pretty rare that I like a new album right off the bat like this.

[ElChevelle]

That good huh?
I had heard some sub-par reviews of it though I like their previous work.

Two of my fave albums. How come I don't know you better.

I could probably list quite a few. I'm an album-oriented kind of guy. I tend to listen to most albums all the way through.

[eheiney]

Nine Inch Nails - The Downward Spiral

I can, and do, listen to all of their releases without skipping, but this one is more so than all the others. I think the reason might be because of the story that it creates.

[Cylob]

I bought The Downward Spiral on CD and took it back the next day. :D Thankfully, I realised the error of my ways and gave it another chance............ 10 years later.

I've sussed out how to get 10 (or so) random tracks on a click, so I'm moving even further away from "THE ALBUM". Anyway, on with the list.....:

Bowery Electric - Lushlife (2002)
http://image.allmusic.com/00/amg/cov200/dre000/e008/e00852iwfn0.jpg

AMG: "By now, you pretty much know what to expect from Bowery Electric — great head music filled with dashes of Mo' Wax-informed beats, breathy vocals, and atmospheric flourishes. Those three characteristics are a dime a dozen by now, but somehow BE manages to pull it off without sounding like the umpteenth Portishead knock-off."

I almost wish Portishead hadn't existed, every single spacey/trippy band of the late 90's has been accused of ripping them off. Bah!! Just because you invent a genre, it doesn't mean you own it (along with all the subgenres) for the next million years.

I could live with that package:up:

[deeder7001]

Revis - Places for Breathing

[OutlawJim]

Bon Jovi - These Days
Their best album. Every song is awesome, yet no-one I know ever mentions any of the songs off it when they talk about Bon Jovi, not even the fans!

Utada Hikaru - Distance
Its just plain awesome.

Nine Inch Nails - With Teeth
I woulda said The Downward Spiral, but I sometimes feel uncomfortable somehow, when listening to The Becoming

Bjork - Homogenic
I don't think there is one track on this album that i could ever think of skipping.

PJ Harvey - Is This Desire?
Same goes for this.

I coulda sworn the whole point of that CD is to make you feel uncomfortable. :D

[eheiney]

Touché. :)

The Downward Spiral is a very difficult album and a touchy subject for me. It was my first introduction with Nine Inch Nails, at a time in my life when I was experiencing similar self destructive patterns to the character in the story that I hinted about earlier in this thread.

As my first encounter, this album will always hold a special place in my heart. I don't know if the person who opened me up to the band sensed my behavior through the downward spiral I myself was following, but I have no doubt in my mind that if I hadn't met this new friend I would be in a far worse place than I am now.

[Colonel Sanders]

I would have to say Bon Jovi - One Wild Night, has the best of the old and the new, all live recordings. I particularaly like the tracks "something for the pain", and "something to believe in".

Another album I listen too without haveing the urge to hit the skip button is Rob Zombie - Past, Present, and Future. I need to improve my collection of AC/DC before I can vote on one of their albums to play through, though I think Back in Black would make the list.

Rush - 1980 - Permanent Waves
http://image.allmusic.com/00/amg/cov200/drc500/c501/c50152i1782.jpg

You could pick about 10 Rush albums without a problem, but this one goes in 'just because'...

[gaekwad2]

I've yet to find one Rush album that would qualify.

http://images-eu.amazon.com/images/P/B000050H6B.03.LZZZZZZZ.jpg

[Cylob]

This is "Rush" we're talking about, right? The trio from Toronto?? :D

Go easy on the Pizzicato Five, you'll be hosting all-day cocktail parties without even realising it.

Excellent choice. It is hard to go wrong with the 70s and early 80s material.

On the converse, I'd say Presto was their weakest. I'm willing to overlook it though. ;)

[gaekwad2]

OK then,

I seem to remember this was the first album (cassette), that I thought was perfect. Too many of my friends would buy a cd for just one song and never listen to anything else on it. :rolleyes:

[Cylob]

When I bought my kids a portable each, I gave them just "Pyromania" for 2 weeks (Lesson #1, Rock & Roll). It certainly paid off. :D

[Image] (http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B000003TAL.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg) There was nothing much wrong with "Dirty". I can't understand the bad reviews.

[ASD5A]

Monster Magnet - Monolithic!

[Michgelsen]

One of the best albums I know of:

Buddy Guy - Damn Right, I've Got The Blues

Skip button just not required.

[vizo]

Rename this thread to "Name your favorite albums" because thats pretty much what this is..

[Cylob]

Not really.

Alot of my favourite albums are flawed (any album by Mega City Four for example). Yet, I'd rate them higher than more consistent albums as they contain some "very special" tracks.
