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
