What’s a no skips album?

[u/RusevReigns]

[u/Inevitable_Lynx7198]

Random Access Memories — Daft Punk. Every track feels like it belongs exactly where it is.

[u/jimmyslaughter → u/Inevitable_Lynx7198]

And Discovery as well. Both albums are 100% solid.

[u/ScowlyOwl → u/jimmyslaughter]

I was just listening to Discovery today with this in mind. Was back at One More Time before I knew it.

[u/Soterial → u/Inevitable_Lynx7198]

This is a really good answer. Giorgio by Moroder is one of my all time favorite songs. The whole album feels like a love letter to music.

[u/Effective_Exit_6643 → u/Soterial]

That album doesn't just sound like music, it feels like someone poured their entire passion for the art form into every track. It's one of those records I can come back to and still find something new.

[u/Professional_Top7507]

Rumours - Fleetwood Mac

[u/SeantotheRescue → u/Professional_Top7507]

Years ago I thought to myself, I’ve never listened to Rumours from start to finish. But then I put it on and realized I already knew every single song on it because they’re all bangers

[u/ExoticToothpaste6989 → u/Professional_Top7507]

Because they're all true.

[u/Towerbound → u/ExoticToothpaste6989]

Murray!?

[u/leighroyv2]

Queens of the stone age, songs for the deaf.

[u/GongBor → u/leighroyv2]

You can’t even hear em!

[u/steve2theE → u/leighroyv2]

I need a saga

[u/leighroyv2 → u/steve2theE]

Whats the saga?

[u/snekasan → u/leighroyv2]

It’s songs for the deaf

[u/54321jj → u/snekasan]

You can't even hear it.

[u/LaVidaYokel → u/54321jj]

We play more songs that sound like everyone else than anyone else!

[u/Ringabel → u/leighroyv2]

yeah my friend won’t shut up about the drums on that album

[u/guinness_blaine → u/Ringabel]

Dave Grohl is just a monster on drums.

[u/ShakeKooky5896 → u/leighroyv2]

Such a perfect pick. Even the fake radio station bits are unskippable driving music.

[u/targ_ → u/leighroyv2]

... Like clockwork is even better imo

[u/Xanthus179 → u/leighroyv2]

Holy shit, came to post this and it was the top comment already. Really feels good.

[u/Mr_Viddles]

The Strokes’ Is This It

[u/IzziTheEpic → u/Mr_Viddles]

Also Room on Fire, also The New Abnormal

[u/Luxx815 → u/Mr_Viddles]

Can't you see I'm trying?

[u/ZA_34 → u/Luxx815]

i don't even like it

[u/GodEmperorBrian → u/ZA_34]

I just lied to get to your apartment

[u/br4ndnewbr4d → u/GodEmperorBrian]

Now I’m staying

[u/Difficult_Cry_5532 → u/br4ndnewbr4d]

Just for awhile

[u/sunbearimon]

Wish You Were Here

[u/NoLameBardsWn → u/sunbearimon]

Id also say animals, i love that album

[u/Berninz → u/NoLameBardsWn]

came here to say Animals. Masterpiece.

[u/Automatic_Net2181 → u/NoLameBardsWn]

For me, it is Meddle. But I like your choice as well!

[u/newleafkratom → u/sunbearimon]

Dark Side of the Moon enters the thread

[u/mcmnky → u/sunbearimon]

My first thought was pretty much anything from Pink Floyd before The Final Cut. The Wall, Animals, WYWH, Dark Side, Obscured, Meddle, Atom Heart Mother, Saucerful. No skip album? Try no skip decade. (Yes, I appreciate the irony of skipping some albums in my list of no skip albums.)

My second thought was, I can rattle off dozens of no skip albums. Do I listen to a lot of great bands? Do people that think no skip albums are rare listen to too many crappy bands? Am I just easy to please?

Anyway, acts I say have no skip albums (not saying all their albums are no skip): Pink Floyd, Beatles (at least 4), Kinks, Grateful Dead (2 in 1970), Cream, Talking Heads, Television, Go-Gos. Black Flag, Minor Threat, Public Enemy, Tribe Called Quest, Michael Jackson (Thriller had 9 tracks and 7 top 10 hits. What are you skipping?), Stevie Ray Vaughan, Marvin Gaye, Beach Boys, Pixies, Carole King, Funkadelic, Devo, Ice Cube (The Predator is chef's kiss), Iron Maiden, Meat Loaf (if you're skipping at tracks on Bat Out of Hell, I don't need to know you)

[u/orange_head203]

Radiohead ok Computer

[u/ClassicShmosby → u/orange_head203]

Also In Rainbows

[u/ojonegro → u/ClassicShmosby]

Yeah OK Computer gets all the praise cuz it dropped right after The Bends (also genius), but I’ve found myself listening to In Rainbows more than any. Reckoner is my favorite song. It was actually the original name of the album but they changed it.

[u/tchock23 → u/orange_head203]

And no, you can’t skip Fitter Happier.

[u/Zanctmao]

Graceland by Paul Simon

[u/hsgmat]

Toxicity

[u/Paddlesons]

Siamese Dream for me I guess.

[u/what-isthis-even → u/Paddlesons]

oooooooooh... the first time i heard soma i was like "what is this!? i've never heard anything this before"

[u/Dtmcmxcvi]

Dirt- Alice In Chains

[u/Inigomntoya → u/Dtmcmxcvi]

And Jar of Flies

[u/vks11772]

Led Zeppelin II

[u/haragoshi → u/vks11772]

I never skip zeppelin

[u/evo-1999 → u/vks11772]

I would agree- but it’s close between Led Zep 1, 2, or 3… depending on my mood my first choice varies and second favorite song varies from time to time- my favorite all time song is Bring It on Home- Paige’s guitar riff when it transitions from Plants harmonica gets me every time… I still remember when I first bought that album in 1989.

[u/Throwaway554911]

The Black Parade

[u/Fit-Drawer5686 → u/Throwaway554911]

Especially live and in order 😍😍😍

[u/Woodrow8181]

Green Day - Dookie

[u/dtrain85 → u/Woodrow8181]

Their best album and it's not even close

[u/Greygors]

Incubus - Morning View

[u/somniforousalmondeye → u/Greygors]

I’m floating down the river.

[u/PapaBigJunks → u/Greygors]

Absolute banger of a no skip album.

[u/boston_beer_man]

SoaD - Toxicity

[u/Ok-Entrepreneur-5067 → u/boston_beer_man]

Sometimes at my main karaoke spot, we almost do the whole album between different singers with a little bit of overlap with duests where appropriate. The only thing that sucks about it is when you gotta change your song because someone else beat you to it.

[u/hsgmat]

Pinkerton

[u/stuff_of_epics → u/hsgmat]

Blue too

[u/IOVERCALLHISTIOCYTES → u/stuff_of_epics]

Came in here to say Blue and Pinkerton too 

[u/jesusbowstodoom → u/hsgmat]

Finally one I agree with

[u/hsgmat → u/jesusbowstodoom]

Think it might be impossible to start it and not finish it

[u/thewoodlayer]

Illmatic by Nas. IMO the greatest rap album of all time, it’s a cover to cover masterpiece.

[u/nodoomscrolling69420 → u/thewoodlayer]

happy to see this this high up

I would also add Mobb Deep - The Infamous. I think the two albums compliment each other super well, not to mention same era nas is featured on deep's album

surprisingly I'm not a huge fan of their other albums, they had good individual songs after The Infamous but nothing was even close to as cohesive and "no skip" as The Infamous

[u/SCaFA93]

INXS - KICK

[u/Karnakite]

Jagged Little Pill

[u/GorjeHooves → u/Karnakite]

Always in awe of how she was pouring raw talent at 19! Masterpiece!

[u/Couchpototo → u/Karnakite]

I just saw Alanis play on Saturday. Amazing show.

[u/Nitro7311 → u/Karnakite]

Listened to this album a lot growing up. Even if I was burnt out on Alanis, she is a phenomenal singer. 

[u/retroflies]

The dark side of the moon 🌑

[u/Inigomntoya → u/retroflies]

The Floyd were masters at creating albums that must be listened to all the way through

[u/bellaxis]

Lateralus

[u/high-flying-otter → u/bellaxis]

Ænima as well

[u/mikejarrell → u/high-flying-otter]

Undertow… all of em.

[u/tukus → u/high-flying-otter]

Even 10,000 Days for me. Excellent 3 album run from Tool for me.

[u/Staav → u/tukus]

They've just about got a no skip discography, even if that's a hell of a claim.

[u/Federal_Abroad9260 → u/bellaxis]

Fear Inoculum, too!

[u/Appropriate-Neck-585]

Thriller

[u/TableQuiet1518]

Hybrid Theory 

[u/_Death_BySnu_Snu_ → u/TableQuiet1518]

That was my very first no skip album as a kid. Still is, as an adult.

[u/ItchyBrain6610 → u/TableQuiet1518]

I gotta add Meteora. Probably the best first 2 album run in history.

[u/Brilliant_Ad9438 → u/ItchyBrain6610]

I totally agree

[u/whosgonnapaymyrent → u/TableQuiet1518]

Can't even think of another album that I wouldn't skip songs when I was a teenager. Those first 5-10 seconds still give me chills

[u/dfrance1991 → u/TableQuiet1518]

Hybrid Theory got me through some really dark times as a kid. Listening to it now makes me realise that it was another life and I left that person behind a long time ago. Gives me chills.

[u/Low_Librarian_2741]

Jagged little pill - Alannis morisette

[u/maskvent]

Offspring Smash

[u/unseensoul → u/maskvent]

100% agree on this. I love to sing along from start to end since it came out 32 years ago!

[u/OddSell]

Appetite for Destruction or Back in Black

[u/comdygas → u/OddSell]

YES! Appetite changed everything!!!

[u/Soterial]

Alive 2007 - Daft Punk. They live remixed their most popular songs into a god-tier surprise performance at Coachella.

[u/goldenrule117]

Pearl Jam Ten

[u/LuciusCSullaF → u/goldenrule117]

Yield is also like that for me, but yes, definitely Ten

[u/scoopit1890 → u/LuciusCSullaF]

Vs.

[u/campnurse5150]

Currents - Tame Impala

[u/hsgmat]

[u/Isuckatreddit69NICE → u/hsgmat]

Hello fellow Volta fan.

[u/True-Reward-483]

Portishead - dummy

[u/PlayaSlayaX → u/True-Reward-483]

This is the one. This is truly a 10/10 album, and this is the album that inspires people to buy record players.

[u/dougc84]

Transatlanticism - Death Cab for Cutie

[u/dcoats69 → u/dougc84]

I really do miss the old Kanye

[u/insanelylazy → u/spotty15]

Straight from the 'go Kanye

[u/sainTaco → u/insanelylazy]

Chop up the soul Kanye

[u/NAparentheses → u/hsgmat]

My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy is also a perfect album.

[u/jadaal21 → u/hsgmat]

Late Registration too

[u/RideTheLighting]

Nonagon Infinity -KGLW

[u/tsulahmi2]

Master of Puppets

[u/hsgmat]

Wore out the cassette, then played the shit out of the cd

[u/reginaltus → u/hsgmat]

[u/ThisMonkey888 → u/hsgmat]

Wanna grow up to be…..

[u/shurafna]

Absolution - Muse

[u/medmac_2112 → u/shurafna]

Yes! Saw Muse live last night, they were amazing

[u/shurafna → u/medmac_2112]

I’m seeing them for the first time since their resistance your back in 2010. I’m so excited

[u/Ok-Entrepreneur-5067 → u/shurafna]

I have been super digging their new album too.

[u/shurafna → u/Ok-Entrepreneur-5067]

oh it also has no skips too. I am LOVING it.

I have been spamming The Dark Forest, Hush, and Hexagons

[u/medmac_2112 → u/shurafna]

All fantastic songs, and Hexagons sounded HUGE live

[u/pandythepanda25 → u/Ok-Entrepreneur-5067]

New album is fantastic! Absolution is a 10/10 for me, too.

[u/Chrisiztopher1 → u/Ok-Entrepreneur-5067]

Same it’s soooooo good! Classic Muse tbh

[u/Southern_Delivery811]

Songs in the key of life

[u/According_Muffin_388]

Live - Throwing copper

[u/wbaumbeck]

50 cent Get rich or die tryin

[u/ResidentJabroni → u/wbaumbeck]

For that era of hip-hop in 2003, GRoDT was perfect. It was the right blend of production and lyricism and 50 has never surpassed it in his studio discography.

The Massacre was a good album, but doesn't top his debut.

[u/skiguitarbikebeer]

Dark side of the Moon

[u/transguyprobelms]

I like Ok Computer from Radiohead

[u/adam3247]

Enema of the State - Blink 182

[u/sbcruzen → u/adam3247]

Absolutely. I love hitting that wave of Aliens Exist > Going Away to College > What's My Age Again; it puts me back into high school.

Linkin Park - Hybrid Theory

[u/Realistic-Currency61]

Back in Black

Paradise Theater

Boston / Boston

Boston / Don't Look Back

[u/haragoshi → u/Realistic-Currency61]

I listened to the Boston album after hearing more than a feeling on guitar hero and was surprised how good every song on that album was. I assumed they were a one hit wonder.

[u/Realistic-Currency61 → u/haragoshi]

Not even close. Tom Scholz was a graduate student at MIT in the 70s that invented and built his own equipment and recording studio in his basement. He wrote all the songs for the first 2 albums and laid down all of the instrumental tracks himself, employing Brad Delp to sing the lyrics. If you listen to Classic Rock radio, you will hear MANY tracks from Boston's first 2 albums on a regular rotation.

[u/reditanian → u/haragoshi]

u/Realistic-Currency61 is leaving out the best bits! Tom Schulz was an engineer working at Polaroid IIRC. Aside from designing and building a co implementation recording studio in his basement, he designed his own sound box thingy for the guitar sound (I’m not a guitarist, don’t know the correct term), to produce the exact guitar sound he wanted. If you go back and listen to recordings made before Boston, nothing sounds like it. That album blew people’s minds - they were hearing sounds they never knew were possible. Now, it sounds completely normal because everyone copied them. Tom Schulz was a wizard.

[u/LysdexicGinger]

Love them or hate them, Songs About Jane by Maroon 5 is solid album

[u/Jazztify]

Abbey Road, Beatles

SGt Peppers, Beatles

I Am, by Earth Wind and Fire
This one was also full of interludes so the songs mostly blended into the next one.
