These are the ones where you can't just listen to one song; the whole thing has to be played from front to back to get the full effect. Playing just one or two tracks hardly ever happens with these; I put 'em on, sit back, relax, and enjoy how they all mold together. I'm excluding classical from this list.

how is this not a 'your favourite album' thread?
it's a little different. i'll say U2's zooropa, and that's not my favourite. i'll also add abbey road, which... is my favourite.

It's a Wonderful Life - Sparklehorse
Melloncollie - Pumpkins
In the Aeroplane Over the Sea - Neutral Milk Hotel
A Tennessee Fire - My Morning Jacket
You'd Prefer an Astronaut - Hum
I think it should be distinct from a "favorite album" thread due to the nature of the way I presented the topic.
My favorite album of all-time is Pearl Jam's "No Code," but it would appear nowhere on the sort of list I illustrated above. I'll leave the reasons why as an exercise to the reader.
Blur- 13 Yo La Tengo- I Can Hear The Heart Beating As One Wilco- Yankee Hotel Foxtrot Spiritualized- Royal Albert Hall October 10 1997 Sonic Youth- Bad Moon Rising The Olivia Tremor Control- Black Foliage: Animation Music The Fiery Furnaces- Blueberry Boat
and a ton more. but like someone else said, I hardly ever listen to just a few songs from albums, it's usually the whole thing.
