I was starting this thread thinking of albums (that aren't greatest hits) where I don't skip a single track, but I've decided to expand it to just 'Classic albums' for anyone else who feels like posting ;)

Anyway, albums I don't skip a track on:

Bon Jovi - New Jersey, Keep The Faith, One Wild Night (a live album, this may be cheating a bit ;) )

Limp Bizkit - Chocolate Starfish...

Oasis - The first three albums...

AC/DC - High Voltage, Back In Black

The Trews - Den Of Thieves

Guns N Roses - just any of the albums...

Daughtry - Daughtry

Queen - Made In Heaven

The Darkness - Permission To Land

The Almighty - Powertrippin'

I'll add others later probably, but what are your faves, either non-skippable or just an album you really like?

guns n roses - appetite for destruction, and almost use you illusion I

foo fighters - foo fighters, the colour and the shape, one by one

iron maiden - death on the road (live in dortmund)

both velvet revolver albums

pearl jam - ten

nickelback - silver side up

snow patrol - final straw

pretty short list, but most of my stuff is from Best Ofs so that narrows it down a lot :( also there quite a bit of mainstream rock, which usually contain sappy "love" songs which i cant help but skip past

Don't be ridiculous, that's new versions of old songs? How can a "Greatest hits in all but name" album be classic?

You want classic Queen? Try Queen II. Try Sheer Heart Attack. Try pretty much anything before the Game. More tomorrow...

The bends - Radiohead

The fat of the land - The prodigy

Hold your colour - Pendulum

Skunk Anansie - Stoosh

And loads more I can't think of off the top of my head! If Linkin Park had a greatest hits album (perhaps they do) then that would be a classic I reckon.

Steady on, old chap!

I didn't say it was a classic, I said it was one of the ones I listened to the whole way through! And the songs are B sides/written by other people/samples that the remaining members worked with etc (far as I know), though some obviously appeared on other albums ;)
