That One Album

Some great suggestions so far!

Scary to think I've been listening to this for nearly forty years!

Haven't listened to it for years, and very likely would be disappointed to go back to it, but ABC's "The Lexicon Of Love" was works brilliantly as a two sided vinyl record - the songs flow seamlessly with a well judged intermission for you to turn it over. No duds on that one.

Indeed.

"Who broke my heart? You did, you did,"

"If you gave me a pound for the moments I missed, if you gave me dancing lessons for all the lips I should've kissed, I'd be a millionaire. I'd be Fred Astaire,"

"Once upon a time when we were friends, I gave you my heart, the story ends. No happy ever after, now we're friends."

"When your girl has left you out on the pavement (goodbye), when your dreams fall apart at the seams, your reason for living is your reason for leaving. Don't ask me what it means."

y'know this is harder than I thought - it's only when I started looking that I realised that several of my favorite albums had a couple of 'skippers' (the albums being Pyromania, Hysteria, Love at First Sting and Blackout) but I think my first 'non-skipper' is World Wide Live, and then Back in Black (and maybe Lovedrive)

[Hoover.]

some great albums mentioned which I love, but my fail safe album is Saint Etienne's Foxbase Alpha

[Neith]

Even the instrumental (Losfer Words) is great. Never get tired of listening to it, despite the album being released before I was born

Hard to think of many other albums where I like absolutely every song. For more modern stuff, maybe Burials by AFI.

Anyway, an obvious few from me:

Prodigy - Music for the Jilted Generation

Slayer - Reign in Blood, Seasons in the Abyss

These are great

One of my favourites and highly under-rated imo...

Love it, but it doesn't qualify: Interlude with Ludes?!?!

[Zod]

OK. It's not one album for me. Here are a few that do it:

Every Led Zeppelin album, apart from IttOD.

Black Keys - El Camino

Radiohead - The Bends

Metric - Fantasies and Synthetica

R.E.M. - Out of Time

Arcade Fire - Funeral

Love - Forever Changes

Fleetwood Mac - Rumors

Albums I never skip tracks on:

Iron Maiden - The Number of the Beast
Judas Priest - Screaming for Vengeance
Metallica - Master of Puppets
Megadeth - Peace Sells...But Who's Buying?
Def Leppard - Pyromania
The Cult - Sonic Temple
AC/DC - Highway to Hell
Guns 'N' Roses - Appetite for Destruction
The KLF - Chill Out

Probably because I first owned on vinyl or cassette when skipping tracks wasn't possible so it's as much a nostalgia thing as anything.

I'm surprised Dark Side of the Moon hasn't had more love on this forum. Normally gets a lot of love.

Very understated.

Acdc - back in black & highway hell
Meatloaf - bat out of hell
Rem - Automatic for the people
Dire straits - brothers in arms
Bryan Adams - reckless
Jonny cash - live at San quentin
The beautiful south - 0898
Great call to the second poster I think with SoM.

It's funny but back in the day I would said Thriller and Bad by MJ but now I find myself bored by half the albums.

Another vote for Appetite For Destruction, plus...

I drove one afternoon into night from Houston Bush International Airport to Morgan City in Louisiana (south of Baton Rouge) in a hired Lincoln Town car in 1994 and played Chillout on the stereo the whole way (went round several times), one of my never to be forgotten experiences.

Oh it's a permanent fixture on the autochanger in the car. But On The Run has always been a "skipper" for me.

I couldn't nail down one album where every track is great (to me at least). It would have to be a few -

Dream Theater - When Dream & Day Unite
Kate Bush - The Hounds Of Love
It Bites - Once Around The World
The Cure - Disintegration

Surprise surprise, yes I am in my early 40s!!
