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

Pretty much all of them... I'm lazy that way.

However, some standouts are anything from "Land Of Kush" or "Bardo Pond". Kind of funny because neither of those bands are easy listening. YMMV

Anything by Bach and Mozart, greatest musicians who ever lived beyond all doubt .

It must be true because I cannot imagine to contest it with my own preference, for example in the case of Mozart...Because my preference will appear precisely like that: only my preference....

I think it is a fact, Bach and Mozart gives to their music some "constant" high level of perfect form/emotion ratio and this was never really surpassed, on these 2 counts, by any other composer to this day...

The last factor would be the sheer astounding numbers of opus with these 2 factors in them....

Late to the party but every album every time.
I am even anal with the double albums where a prevailing trend is to put sides 1&4 on one record and sides 2&3 on the other.
Now that REALLY annoys me but I duly follow side order even though it means taking record one off, playing both sides of record two, then final side of record one.
