Albums that you listen to straight through / start to finish whenever you put them on!

So I have a few albums that whenever I play them I listen to the whole thing in sequence from beginning to end.
Of course some albums are meant to be that way, they are called concept albums. However, my question is not just for the obvious concept albums per se but for any album you play start to finish because it is strong throughout. All genres are included here so no limits on music preferences.

I’ll start with a few that come to mind -
The Moody Blues - The Days of Future Passed 
Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon
Alan Parsons Project- I Robot 
Miles Davis - In a Silent Way
Weather Report - Black Market

Enya -Watermark
Patricia Barber- Cafe Blue
Hope Sandovar- Most Any
Simon and Garfunkel-Sounds of silence.

I love the MOODY Blues and most Tull stuff 
but the recordings are so crappy.

LP. Only if I know I don't like the last track on a side, otherwise I play all tracks.

Like others, the whole LP, both sides, unless more than one disc and I run out of time.

Occasionally, to let someone else hear 'the best' of something, I will drop the needle for a specific track.

CD's, I do skip tracks, especially albums that start with tracks I don't like, and, when knowing I have limited time, to get to all time favorites.

I usually skip a track on any given album.

But there are (at least) two that I simply have to listen to completely:
Floyd: Dark Side
Fagan: Kamakiriad

Otherwise, my brain will keep playing them in the background until
I finish them.  I know I know.  

Does anyone else have this issue?
