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

This thread is very apropos to me. For 40 years my listening sessions were restricted, and so I got in the habit of only listening to favorite tracks. I became passably good at positioning the tonearm such that the stylus lowers into the inter-track gap on the record.
I'm retired now, with more time to listen. I've had my old turntable (and other gear) serviced. I'm breaking the favorites habit and listening more to the whole album. Linda Ronstadt's "Don't Cry Now," "Prisoner In Disguise," and "Heart Like a Wheel" have gotten 2-side play of late, and I hadn't listened to Linda at all for maybe 25 years. I just picked up Van Morrison's "Three Chords and the Truth," and listened to a side the other day right before dinner. Good stuff, and I'm getting more enjoyment out of the music.
