non skip albums


First one to come to mind is

Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club band

This album was so revolutionary and claims to be

the first album meant to be listened to

as opposed to danced to.

Those were the beginning of heavier drug use and one

did not feel much about wiggling around on weed or LSD

so while we're on the Beatles subject 

Abbey Road  and

Let It Be

would prolly be 2 non-skip albums as well

I remember in our foolish youth how we formed clans in high school

the "cool" kids upping their noses at those who liked the "commercial" side of Abbey Road as opposed to the enlightened one who much prefer the B side ( the white half apple).

If I had to name a few more album of this era

Wing's Wild World was pretty good

and Babe Ruth's debut album also.

Come to mind now 

Tea for the Tillerman should be on that list for sure 

much more than any other Cat Stevens album.

Carole King's Tapestry also and CCR's Cosmo's Factory as 

I mentioned previously in a FB post


Amos Lee's debut album comes to mind also

Some albums ALMOST make it to this list

Tom Waits and Alanis Morrissette come to mind here with

a habit of ruining the start with Track 1 and "redeeming" themselves with the rest of the album. I would have to dig and Google here to pinpoint which album.

Alanis's 2nd album and I seem to recall not being a fan of Tom Waits' Big in Japan

OF COURSE one CANNOT NOT mention : 

DARK SIDE OF THE MOON

even though I would be reluctant to add more Pink Floyd album to this list maybe Division Bell of all choices strangely enough.

Correction here maybe with Pink Floyd's Meddle which is quite enjoyable especially the side B with the classic Echoes and who doesn't love Seamus? :P

Contrary to popular opinion I don't consider AC/CDC's Back to Black to be part of the non skip. 

I am not an unconditional fan of Alice Cooper or Deep Purple or even Led Zeppelin 


George Michael's Faith should also have a special mention here

oh and I forgot two of the best albums ever:

King Crimson - In the Court of the Crimson King

AND

Supertramp - Crime of the Century

Voila for now 

All that my old brain can bring back to life for the mo,

Ciao for now
