12 Albums with no skip tracks (solid from start to finish)

Someone finally adds a little jazz with Herbie and Miles (maybe there was another Miles earlier). I might pick Starfish over Priest=Aura, but I think both have great tracks and forgettable ones.

 

The Sword rock so hard! Warp Riders is my fave but they're all great.

 

I only skip Spark on Starfish (sorry Marty!) otherwise a flawless album to my ears. I like dark Church the best, and Priest has got it by the pound

 

I’m not really a skipper, but here are 12 that I never even consider skipping a track.

Sex Pistols - NMTB
PiL - Metal Box
Van Morrison - Astral Weeks
Love - Forever Changes
Iggy & The Stooges - Raw Power
VU - White Light/White Heat
Primitives - Lovely
MBV - Isn’t Anything
Swervedriver - Mezcal Head
The Smiths - S/T
Dif Juz - Extractions
Scream - This Side Up

 

Rubber Soul (US version) - The Beatles
London Calling - The Clash
Parallel Lines - Blondie
Willy and the Poor Boys - CCR
The Name of This Band is Talking Heads
Pure Pop for Now People - Nick Lowe
All Over the Place - The Bangles
Get Happy!! - Elvis Costello & the Attractions
Kind of Blue - Miles Davis
Moanin - Art Blakey & the Jazz Messengers
Hoodoo Man Blues - Junior Wells
West Side Soul - Magic Sam

 

Here are a dozen that fall into that category at my house. Artist added were I thought they were needed.


Hot Rats
We’re Only In It For the Money
Burnt Weeny Sandwich
One Size Fits All
Sgt Peppers
Exile On Main Street
We Are the Village Green Preservation Society
Wanted Dead or Alive - David Bromberg
Next - The Sensational Alex Harvey Band
Bat Out Of Hell
Bitter Tears - Johnny Cash
Daddy Who, Daddy Cool - Daddy Cool

 

When I’m 64…I admit it’s kind of silly when 64 is in your rear view mirror unless I am looking back at the good old days.

 

“Tug of War” is on your skip list? Now I understand why your screen name is “Gaslight”…

 

Correct me if I'm wrong but a McCartney album?

 

The Clash Uk
AC/DC Highway To Hell
Metallica And Justice For All
Iron Maiden Powerslave
Van Halen
The Doors
Led Zeppelin
Rolling Stones Sticky Fingers
Pink Floyd Animals
Beatles Magical Mystery Tour
Black Sabbath Paranoid
U2 Under A Blood Red Sky

How generically boring yes,but these came to mind first,Ha Ha!

 

Kind of a weird thread. Hard for me to understand how or why anyone who loves music, would even think about "skipping" a song. We never did that when we were discovering music in the 60's/70's. At least, I hardly ever did. The whole "thing" was that it's an album. With it's flow and mood. Mean't to be judged as a whole concept/show. Cherry-picking just seems disrespectful to the artist, for my mind, anyway. Of course, growing up before the internet, and before general attention spans shruck to where they are today, it wasn't really an issue. You just listened to the album, and, maybe some songs you didn't like as much as others, but, you stayed with it, and took in the whole thing. It made the albums more endearing and they felt closer and more personal.

I know times are different nowadays, so, I guess that's what people do. Yet, part of me feels sorry for someone who would do that (skip a song(s)). I think of it as someone watching a film/movie, but only certain scenes of the movie. Instant-gratification instead of coming to an understanding/knowledge of works of art.

 

Bridge is unf***withable!!

 

I don't think I know that word?


P.S. Oh, I get it! You can't F with it!

P.P.S. Actually, I did try to in college....didn't workout.

 

Elton John, Goodbye Yellow Brick Road
Elton John, The Fox
Radiohead, OK Computer (yes, I play even "Fitter Happier")
Beck, Odelay
Beach Boys, Pet Sounds
Fleetwood Mac, Rumours
Dire Straits, Brothers in Arms
Taylor Swift, 1989
ABBA, The Visitors
Michael Nesmith, And the Hits Just Keep on Coming
Hole, Live Through This
Smashing Pumpkins, Siamese Dream

Just twelve off the top of my head. Many more, though.

 

Skipping tracks is akin to hitting the Shuffle button to me. Not happening!

 

The Beach Boys - Pet Sounds
The Band - The Band
Brian Eno - Another Green World
Jane's Addiction - Ritual de lo habitual
Soft Machine - Third
The War on Drugs - Lost in the Dream
The Beatles - Rubber Soul
Aerosmith - Rocks
The Kinks - Village Green Preservation Society
Frank Zappa - One Size Fits All
Miles Davis - B*tches Brew
Stevie Wonder - Songs in the Key of Life

basically every album I like a lot fits the category though. I'd have a much harder time coming up with albums I listen to but skip a song or two every time.

 

The Beach Boys - Holland (including the fairy tale)
Blood, Sweat & Tears - Child is Father to the Man
The Brady Bunch - The Kids From the Brady Bunch
Buffalo Springfield - Buffalo Springfield Again
The Byrds - Ballad of Easy Rider
The Doors - Strange Days
Harpers Bizarre - Feelin' Groovy
Linda Ronstadt - Linda Ronstadt
Rotary Connection - Rotary Connection
Santana - Abraxas
Spanky and Our Gang - Anything You Choose/Without Rhyme or Reason
Steely Dan - Can't Buy a Thrill

Here are 12 albums we would listen to in the dorms which were current and popular when I was in college. We would "inhale" and then would definitely listen all the way through - with no skips.
