What are some CDs that you'll listen to the whole way through? This means no filler songs you don't enjoy. Even one and it's void. I'm talking complete albums in your view.

In Rainbows - Radiohead
Kid A - Radiohead
Dark Side of the Moon - Pink Floyd
A Crow Left of the Murder - Incubus
Origin of Symmetry - Muse
Absolution - Muse
Showbiz - Muse
Black Holes and Revelations - Muse (get the picture :lol: , I find every one of their songs unique and enjoyable)
In Your Honor (rock disc, although the acoustic is good) - Foo Fighters
Are You Experienced? - Jimi Hendrix
Led Zeppelin (original and IV) - Led Zeppelin

Just about any Eagles album, especially Desperado..... and almost any 60's - 70's Moody Blues album. A couple early Byrds albums. A collection of Monster cuts: 1st King Crimson album called "Court of the Crimson King"..... 21st Century Schizoid Man could easily be covered by some hot band even today (IF they're up to it, LOL) The title song, Court of the Crimson King, is incredible. Every cut takes you to a different place and a different time..... dream-like and somehow.... scary.
"There's the Rub" by Wish Bone Ash
Need I mention "Abbey Road" ?

NOTE: I can't agree more on both Dark Side of the Moon by Pink Floyd and certainly Hendrix's first 3 Albums.

Most albums I have are near perfect. I usually try to listen to every track before buying it if I can. I don't like to waste my money on mediocrity, no matter how good anyone says it is.

Any Led Zep album, except maybe for Presence

Presence? I love Presence. "Tea for One" is one of their best songs ever

That's a rare thing, especially now that we're lucky to get more than one decent song on an entire CD. Here's my lifetime list:

I've had a couple of the 1980's albums by Aimee Mann that were superb. I had them on tape, but would like to have them new on CD. I don't remember the names but I particularly liked the album with a song called "Jacob Marley's Chains" on it.

Herbie Mann's Memphis Underground is another one I listen to frequenlty. I've been listening to it regularly for 25 years. I like it so much that when the tape wore out I replaced it with CD. Larry Coryell (sp?) is the guitarist, by the way.

David Lee Roth's Eat 'em and Smile is a great album all the way through. Lots of really good guitar too.

Devo's first album, or nearly first album was great. It's the one with "Speed Racer" on it.

A recent surprise is BB King's Live at the Regal. I didn't like it at first, but when I started listening to it as if it were a show, then I became very impressed and I do enjoy it all the way through.

Another one I like a lot is Nirvana's Nevermind.

Honorable mention to Joe Satriani's album with "You Are My World" on it. I think the name of the album is "Joe Satriani". Mid-90's I think. It's not great all the way through, but there are some mighty good tunes on it.
