What music albums are good from the first to last song?

[Rick-o]

So many good ones posted already, and quite a few that haven't been posted.

Here's a couple off the top of my head.

Bob Marley - Legend

Neil Young - Weld

EDIT: Oh, and Pet Sounds by the Beach Boys. Brian Wilson is a genius!

Interesting suggestions. Either we as a collective are old, or there are hardly any current album-worthy artists.

Both

After the Goldrush

[Lux Interior]

Most any K-Tel album from the 70s.

Lots that have been mentioned, I'll add:

Beastie Boys - Paul's Boutique
Led Zeppelin II
Nirvana - Nevermind
U2 - Joshua Tree
Green Day - American Idiot
Sarah McLachlan - Fumbling Towards Ecstasy
Boston - Boston
Metallica - …And Justice For All

[N-OS X-tasy!]

I would posit that compilation/greatest hits albums such as Marley's Legend or the Beach Boys' Endless Summer should be exempt from this discussion, as by design they are meant to include the best songs an artist has to offer.

Having said that, I will add Michael Jackson's Thriller to the list.

Eagles "Desperado"

Daft Punk - Random Access Memories
Carole King - Tapestry
Led Zeppelin - Physical Graffiti
Moby - Play
Creedence Clearwater Revival - Willy and the Poor Boys
James Brown - Live at the Apollo
Allman Brothers Band - At Fillmore East

Here's a few that work for me:

The Kenny Rankin Album - Kenny Rankin
Tubular Bells - Mike Oldfield
Joyous Lake - Pat Martino
Scarlet's Walk - Tori Amos
Bride Of The Noisemakers - Bruce Hornsby & The Noisemakers
Traveler -Andy Snitzer
Bridge of Sighs - Robin Trower

I used to sit in the dark and listen to Scarlet's Walk over and over. It was so soothing.
