Live albums tend to be compilations of greatest hits so I'll typically avoid them in these discussions, but Rush - Exit Stage Left is pretty great.

Good topic, I'll really have to knock the rust off the mental gears because it's been so long since I listened to music that way.

Oddly, the first thing that pops in my mind is Bonnie Raitt's Luck of the Draw.

I'd probably never think to name it in my Top X-number of albums, but it's one of the rare ones I enjoyed listening straight through.

James Taylor "Hourglass"

The more I think about this, the more I realize what a weird list it probably is for me.  These aren't necessarily my favorite albums, or even artists.  But it's really rare for anyone to put out an album where I'm not tempted to skip a song or two.

Yup same here.  Like my example of U2-Joshua Tree.  Easily one of my favorite all-time albums, but there's also a must-skip on the record so it doesn't qualify for this discussion.

I think I noted before, when I copied that album to tape in 1987, I actually omitted that song, and was so much happier for it.  Did the exact same thing when I got my first CD burner.

I did this constantly when I first loaded my CD collection onto my iPod/PC.  That PC--from 2005, I believe--had an 80 gig hard drive capacity, and I needed to conserve space, and also I was just into the idea of leaving off all the songs I don't like.  After 20 years of that, sometimes I hear real albums and one song goes into the real next song, but my mind is expecting a different next song because I'm so used to the deleted-song version of the album I created.

I really like Bon Jovi's "New Jersey" album, but I always skip the first song, "Lay Your Hands on Me."  Other than that, it's one of my favorites.

G'n'R -- Appetite for Destruction.

Actually, when I was younger this wouldn't have been on the list.  Some of them I didn't like.  By the time I was in college, a good 10ish years after the album came out, I liked all of them and still listen to it straight through.

I actually like that song, Bon Jovi loved to open their albums with high-flying wide-open rock anthems, and I thought it fit well for that.  Same thing for "Let It Rock" off Slippery When Wet.

In fact New Jersey is probably one of my complete albums that I'll play all the way through.  I just uncovered my vinyl copy of it so I'll have to give it a try tonight maybe.

I don't know... I really like Rush, but the only straight-through album I want to listen to is Chronicles, and that's a greatest hits record, so it doesn't count.

I actually added Chronicles, plus a couple of songs off Counterparts and Test For Echo, as its own playlist but I'm not sure I'd listen to much else straight through.
