Rudimentary Peni: Cacophony.
Crass: Stations

Queen II

Loads of stuff, but then I generally listen to complete albums.

Random stuff to chuck in though:

Most Orbital albums,
Blur, in particular Parkfile and Great Escape.
Bowie, loads are great beginning to end, though 1.Outside is great as a complete story
Pulp – Different Class
Daft Punk – Discovery
UNKLE – Psyence Fiction
Queen – A Night at the Opera, Day at the Races, News of the World
Beatles – Revolver, Sgt Pepper, Abbey Road

Agree with many of the above, here are some different

Shakti Natural Elements
Neil Young Tonights the Night
Verve A Northern Soul
Bob Dylan Time out of Mind
Bob Dylan New Morning

Snivellisation
Dubnobasswithmyheadman
PJ Harvey Dry
Misty in roots
Jackie mittoo – can;t remember the album name – bugger
Fila Brazilia Black Market Gardening

and of course

Orb Live 93 – even though it’s a ‘compilation’ it just goes from end to end without missing a beat (excpet where it’s meant to)

Showing my vintage here somewhat 😳

Lots of good albums listed, but after DSOTM the next port of call should be Animals by Pink Floyd.

Dummy is the only one listed so far that I agree with.
I would add moon safari, but it does have a track that ruins it as a complete album.

agree with a good few posted already

adding

the strokes – this is it
sasha & digweed – renaissance, all three discs

Steven Wilson – Hand.Cannot.Erase

Rage Against The Machine – RATM

Magenta – The 27 Club

I’ll second

Porcupine Tree – Fear of a Blank Planet
Queen – A Night At The Opera

XCNN-XCNN.
The Wall is pretty awesome as far as story’s go.

I often find the “full listeners” can initially be the hardest albums to get into. But once there, they’re worth it.

yep.

Loads of good ones already listed,I’ll add
Janes Addiction – Ritual de lo Habitual ,
My Bloody Valentine – Loveless,
& Sabres of Paradise – Sabresonic…

Steel Pulse – Handsworth Revolution
Minutemen – Double Nickels on the Dime
Bad Brains – Rock for Light
Sublime – 40oz to Freedom
Discharge – Why? (technically a 12″ Single I know)

I have never listened to a Pink Floyd in its entirety.

Clash and Machine Gun Etiquette still stand up for me

Lost and Found Jason and the Scorchers

Magnum cum Louder Hoodoo Gurus

There are lots of good suggestions, but the bestest answer (as in the one i thought of before opening the thread) has kindly been provided already by Pedropete… Hounds of Love – Kate Bush.

Angeldust
Master of Puppets
Holy Bible
Nevermind
Pretty Hate Machine
…Like Clockwork

Songs for the deaf?

+1 for Holy Bible and Endtroducing

Pixies – Doolittle

Lightspeed Champion – Falling off the Lavender Bridge

Late of the Pier – Fantasy Black Channel

Smashing Pumpkins – Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness

Any of the Carpenter’s album.

Tool – Lateralus
DJ Shadow – Endtroducing

Husker Du New Day Rising, if Zen Arcade lost a few tracks it would be in the frame.

cinematic orchestra – Every Day
lou reed – new york
another for ‘wish you were here’

I spent christmas away at a cottage last year that had a turntable and a massive collection of classic albums on vinyl.

Having not listened to an album on vinyl for at least 15 years, the nostalgia was wonderful and it did strike me that the format did lend itself towards listening to an album properly from start to finish.

Nowadays, music is disposable. Not to say there aren’t brilliant albums being put out, but I’d say the incidence of them is far smaller in proportion to total musical output nowadays. Quite sad really.

Great shout AlanF, if you like that then try

Consolers of the Lonely by the Raconteurs

(no it doesn’t have steady as she goes on it, which is as good thing as it makes you listen to the full album, it’s a corker)

Metallica – Metallica
AC/DC – Let There Be Rock

And I total curve ball but Employment by the Kaiser Chiefs never fails to disappoint in its start to finish, jam packed, sing along, good rocky pop songs.

Not sure if it’s nostalgia from the days when you’d memorise each nuance in an LP..

Wish You were Here +1
Wishbone Ash – Argus
Prefab Sprout – Steve McQueen

but it’s all very subjective – depends on context too, list would be different tomorrow!

Currently working my way happily through the double 12″ gatefold of Baroness’s red album. One of the finest ‘complete’ albums I own, everything just fits together beautifully.

Worth owning on vinyl for the artwork alone

When it’s finished I’ll probably move onto the blue one.

Having not listened to an album on vinyl for at least 15 years, the nostalgia was wonderful and it did strike me that the format did lend itself towards listening to an album properly from start to finish.

This. I generally browse on Spotify but get vinyl for the keepers. Looking forward to trying out some of the ones I don’t know above. My contribution:

Goa Mix – Paul Oakenfold (not strictly an album I admit)
Upstairs At Eric’s – Yazoo
Penthouse And Pavement – Heaven 17

Queensryche – Operation: Mindcrime

Nearly all the LPs that spring to mind are from my teens and 20s. Says something about the way I consume music these days, which is a pity.

Crowded House – Together Alone
Tracy Chapman – Tracy Chapman
Erasure – The Innocents
Marvin Gaye – What’s Going On

Just realised that no one has mentioned The Beatles Greatest Hits

DJ Shadow, Entroducing

I was starting to get concerned that it took until page 2 for someone to mention this

I think BoardinBob and others have it about right. So much of what people have listed above is actually quite old. Is it simply reminiscence from the days when we actually sat and listened to albums, rather than music now being more of a background activity? That’s certainly the case for me. I probably listen to more music now than I ever did, but i don’t Listen to it.

Here are some more recent ones that spring to mind that I have thoroughly enjoyed – and listened to – as complete albums:

Venetian Snares – Rossz Csillag Alatt Szuletett
Patrick Watson – Adventures in your Own Backyard
The Tallest Man on Earth – The Wild Hunt

Forever Changes
Blows against the empire
Tago Mago
Notorious Byrd Brothers
Tubular Bells
Not your kind of people
Sketches of Spain
Happy trails
A Capella

Etc etc etc

Sketches of Spain Kind of Blue
Santana Abraxas

I agree with a few of the above, others I’ll have to have a listen to.

A couple that spring to mind from the last couple of years for me are

Grizzly Bear – Shields
Daniel Avery – Drone Logic

Elastica by Elastica
Menace to Sobriety by OPM
American Idiot by Green Day
Fresh Fruit For Rotting Vegetables by The Dead Kennedys (already mentioned I know)
Most early Stranglers albums and the last two
Non Stop Erotic Cabaret by Soft Cell
American Idiot by Green Day

Some random contributions…

Bowie – Hunky Dory
PE – It Takes a Nation Of Millions
Lemonheads – It’s a shame about Ray
Clap Your Hands Say Yeah (debut)
The Velvet Undergorund & Nico (just about)
Kraftwerk – TEE

Daft Punk – Random Access Memories

Didn’t really rate it that much for individual tracks, but as a whole it’s a beaut. After the end of Contact I always feel like I need a ciggy and a lie down 8)

Cowboy Junkies – The Trinity Session
REM – Automatic for the People
