I generally listen to the entire album unless it has (in classical music) a particular piece worth listening to and not the other(s). Often one side will sound superior to the other side of the record (factual statement as to pressing differences-see Better Records for explanation). For vocal albums, I often pick and choose which selections to hear. I have 25,000 LPs. For 78s, I listen through to the 3 to 5 minutes per side obviously (7,000). I tend to listen to entire CDs as well (7,000) even though they can last in the low 80 minutes (classical collections from Decca).
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
