What album do you rate the whole way through? I mean all killer tracks and no filler (and if it is Sum41 that's fine :D)

Mine would have to be Parallel Lines by Blondie. I'm just listening to it again and it's still one of those albums where I'm looking forward to hearing every track.

Hanging on the telephone - overplayed but too short at 2:21 to get bored of.
One way or another - ultimate stalker song... love it.
Picture this... Love the lyrics to this.
Fade away and radiate... etheral.
Pretty Baby... my favourite track on the whole album... just a wonderful song.
I know but I don't know. Best howl ever in a song.
11:59 Great song.
Will anything happen? The sweet smell of anticpation.
Sunday Girl - All the much better for knowing it's about cats! :D
Heart of glass - Still a great record to dance to. Comes so late in the album it's great!
I'm gonna love you too - Buddy Holly - aceness!
Just go away - tiresome love... love it.

I mostly do playlists these days so the albums I still listen to from track 1 through to the end are exceptional, in all senses of the word:

Elvis Costello - My Aim is True and Blood and Chocolate. His first album and one from 86ish, just before he headed tentatively down the dilettante trail.

Tori Amos - Little Earthquakes. The first and finest, unless you count Y Kant Tori Read, which might technically fulfil the former criterion. Me and a Gun is hard going though.

Ani DiFranco - Little Plastic Castle. From 98. A sort of conduit album linking her folk singer and extemporaneous jazz stuff. A marvellous album.

Alanis Morisette - Jagged Little Pill. For those men are crap days :hihi: .

EdnaKrabappe
31-08-2008, 13:17
Jagged Little pill great album!

Other albums I feel a tiny bit like this about are these:
Jet. Get Born.
Kasabian Kasabian
The Stone Roses The Stone Roses
Stanley Road Paul Weller
Performance and cocktails Stereophonics
Control Janet Jackson - loved this album when it came out
Hearsay Alexander O Neal "
Thriller Michael Jackson "
Tracy Chapman Tracy Chapman
Tapestry Carole King
First of a million kisses Fairground Attraction.

But none as much as parallel lines.

There really aren't many albums that have NO duff tracks on them, but I'd listen to all the following right the way through again and again, in no particular order:

Sex Pistols - "Never Mind the ********"
The Clash - "The Clash"
The Clash "London Calling"
Oasis - "What's the Story (Morning Glory)"
Manics - "Generation Terrorists", although some tracks are unquestionably better than others
Manics - "Gold Against the Soul"
Marion - "The Program" - starts off brilliantly, and just gets better and better

Also, I have a compilation CD of a load of early Arctic Monkeys stuff from off the Internet, and each track on that has a class and a specialness of its own. I can listen to it again and again. It's much superior to either album, great as they are.

Its rare that I listen to an album all the way through - my ipod is permenently on shuffle! And I'm guesisng 'greatest hits' compilations don't really count.

So the only 4 that spring to mind are:

Scouting for girls: pure unashamed happy jingly indie pop! guaranteed to cheer me up, and all the lyrics i can easily relate to!

Zutons- zuton fever: one of my fave bands, and they sound so passionate!

Mariah carey: music box - for those days when i think i can sing, and want to mope!

Kelly Clarkson: Breakaway - i genuinely think this is an amazing album and she is so underrated! beautiful disaster live gives me goosebumps!

That doesn't count, surely, as it is only one song over and over! :)

For me August and Everything After by Counting Crows is one of the only albums that I can listen to and think every song is amazing.

Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds - I could play it for hours! VERY scarey if you play it at night.

All 3 Bat out of hells by Meatloaf, even though unlike BOOH 1 and 2, there's only about 3 or 4 songs on BOOH 3 that I like.

Hmmm. I've had a think and realised that the vast majority of CDs I listen to without skipping are either home made compilations or best ofs.

However, the following are honourable exceptions:

Joni Mitchell - Blue - yes, I even like the ones everyone else hates
Radio Soulwax/2manyDJs - second one - it would be criminal to skip it - great party CD. I used to hula hoop to this to get in shape ;)
Radiohead - OK Computer - my background music of choice for when writing. There's one bit that sounds just a phone ringing that still gets me every time and I must have heard this album several hundred times, if not more.

All the other albums that spring to mind have at least one track or more on that I just don't like very much. Harder question than it looked!

i think actually i could add rattus norvegicus onto mine...awesome album, very dark....la folies a bit too light and lovey for me...if that makes sense for a stranglers album lol


there's only about 3 or 4 songs on BOOH 3 that I like.

rich thats sort of destroying the whole idea of the thread, its supposed to be albums you like EVERY song on :P

I'd say that I listen to the vast majority of my albums all the way through.

I do have some albums that I have a tendency to pull out just to hear one track. What I tend not to listen to right through is CD singles. I don't really buy them now but often being full of mixes, I find the good one (or two) and listen to them only.

I vastly improved (IMO) The Wailer's "Talking Blues" by burning a CD-R of it with the interview segments removed from between the tracks and compiled into one single track at the end. That way you can skip it most of the time and just listen to the music. :)

Cream - Disraeli Gears

..... and that's without looking through! More than I thought!

Some good choices there, but I suspect you're forgetting about Mother's Lament on Disraeli Gears. This horrific piece of tomfoolerly is the only flaw on an otherwise perfect LP.

I simply had to leave it off when I ripped the album to my iPod.

As for my choices:

Almost all the Beatles LPs
Bob Dylan - Blonde On Blonde

Incidentally, did you know that Marillion singer Fish's real name is actually Colin Cock? No wonder he adopted a different stage name!

Hey I'm with most of you Parallel lines is amazing, The clash London's calling, all the smiths albums (ALL OF THEM) Jeff Buckley's Grace but will add Smashing Pumpkins Machina their masterpiece, Nirvana Nevermind I can't explain how good this record is. and on a lighter note Prefab Sprouts, Steve Mcqueen. Talk Talk, both laughing stock and spirit of eden both very special. Guillemots Through the window pane. best first lp and knocks the follow up into a cocked hat. World party best in show amazing songwriter Karl wallinger worked with the waterboys and of course wrote 'She's the one' stolen by Robbie. Depeche Mode Violator - an incredible piece of work. Underworld, Everything everything, best live LP ever.... I could go on....
