Very occasionally, would I be allowed this  

 

I thought there was no filler allowed.

 

Have you seen Victoria Beckham's face?

There are probably quite a few, but these are the ones that really really do it for me.

 

[Clarky]

Some, off the top of my head, that haven't featured so far (I would also have included some early/mid 1970s Pink Floyd and Genesis):

 

What's Going On - Marvin Gaye

Kind of Blue - Miles Davis

Tierra - Vicente Amigo

[Bleat]

[Clarky]

Also

 

[Eldon Tyrell]

There are many, here are some that come to my mind, in no particular order

 

   

 

    

 

     

 

   

 

[Stofferson]

Unida- The Great Divide (never released which is a shame)

Clutch - pretty much every album, but Robot Hive, Exodus

Kyuss - Welcome to Sky Valley

[madshadows]

To many to list here but my favourite album will always be: MOTT by Mott The Hoople, the record that got me into music and the first LP I bought !!

Ups, yes, Made in Japan of course! 

[NancyJohnson]

It's exceedingly difficult to just choose one, I have a top five that I'm more than happy to dip into and listen back to back with equal joy.  Funnily enough four of these are from the 70s, when I was an impressionable teen.  Pony Express Record came 20 years after Sheer Heart Attack and is equally as bombastic.

 

If you give a damn:

Queen - Sheer Heart Attack
Rich Kids - Ghosts Of Princes In Towers
Japan - Obscure Alternatives 
Aerosmith - Rocks
Shudder To Think - Pony Express Record

[PaulThePlug]

Space Ritual - Hawkwind

Overkill - Motorhead

[Old Man Riva]

Talking Heads - Remain in Light

Aladdin Sane - Bowie 

[TheGreek]

Stop making sense by Talking Heads.

 

The defamation of Strickland Banks by Plan B.

 

Infected by The The

 

Live and Direct by Aswad.

It was their greatest (and only) hits.

That's the best way to have a flawless career.

Erm, ignoring The Great Rock and Roll Swindle of course...

[tauzero]

I have a few, but this one is getting a lot of listens at moment. I stopped listening to it for a while but, a recent thread kick started it again.

"Dave Grusin Presents West Side Story". It has top playing, top singing and terrific arranging.

 

 From the album:

 

[toneknob]

In A Silent Way, but then again it's only got two songs

[Woodinblack]

Some already listed:

Pearl Jam - Ten

Iron Maiden - Number of the Beast

Pink Floyd - wish you were here

Hawkwind - Levitation

Fields of the Nephilim - Fields of the Nephilim

Michael Kiwanuka - Love and Hate

Hard Corps - Def before dishonour

Sade - Diamond Life

Genesis - Trick of the tail

Camel - Moonmadness

Kate Bush - Everything she did before Aerial

Rush - Everything they did after caress of steel and before Hold your fire.

 

But if it was going to be one album, genesis is the one that has stayed with me longer, but there is one.. hmm.. track, so it would have to be Fields of the Nephilim.

[dudewheresmybass]

in no particular order - 

Rainbow - Rising

Iron Maiden - Number of the beast

Metallica - Master of puppets

Death - The sound of perseverance

Control Denied - the fragile art of existence

Cathedral - The carnival bizarre

David Lee Roth - Skyscraper

Judas Priest - Painkiller

Muse - Absolution

RHCP - Blood sugar sex magic

Solitude Aeturnus - Into the depths of sorrow

Black Sabbath - Volume 4

Trouble - Trouble

 

There are loads more, but my mind has stopped here! 🤣

[MrSpace]

The first two that came to mind:

 

U2 - Achtung Baby

 

Rush - A Farewell to Kings

[Supernaut]

[Mykesbass]

Two already mentioned - Aja and What's Going On. Another for me is where I first heard Inner City Blues, which was on Working Week's Working Nights, my all time most played album.  Then there's the two Joe Jackson albums Night & Day and Body & Soul which I can happily listen to all the way through, back to back.
