Albums you Love from Start to Finish
 

There are a lot of great albums out there, more often than not, you listen to like 12 out of the 16, rare is it (or at least I find) that there is the album that I listen to start to finish no skipping, with maybe some repeating. What albums have you found have this awesomeness to them?

Off the top of my head (currently):

The Presidents of the United States of America by The Presidents of the United States of America


When I was younger :

Electriclarryland by the Butthole Surfers

My most recent one is "The Eternal Return" from Darkest Hour. "Wrath" from Lamb of God is brutal. But "Colors" from Between the Buried and Me has been #1 since it came out.

Almost all albums by Pink Floyd but The Final Cut happens to be my personal fav

The Weezer blue album

Transistor : 311
Good Mourning : Alkaline Trio
The Devil and God Are Raging Inside Me : Brand New
The Walking Wounded : Bayside

STP: Core
STP: Purple
Audioslave: Audioslave
Audioslave: Out of Exile
Aerosmith: Big Ones
AC/DC: Live

Green Day had an impressive stretch run for me... I could listen to and sing every lyric from the beginning of Kerplunk all the way through the end of Nimrod. There wasn't a single song on Kerplunk, Dookie, Insomniac, or Nimrod that I didn't love...

Then Warning came out and they got all political :(

sad but true

Bat out of Hell and Born to Run. fantastic albums from start to finish.

Greenday
 

Even worse, eyeliner at age 40.


That said I rocked out to them for a long time growing up, Dookie (along with the other earlier stuff) is one of my all time most listened to albums.
