Albums All The Way Through
After a bit of an exchange with Keith over at Word Shadows, I have realized that there are few albums of music that are great to listen to all the way through, without skipping a track. It seems these days, you get a few hits, and a lot of mediocre filler.
I have found a few over the years, but very few. Off the top of my head, here is my list. I'd like to find out what yours are. Greatest Hits compilations don't count.
"Graceland" by Paul Simon
"Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" by Elton John
"Marc Cohn" by Marc Cohn
"All That You Can't Leave Behind" by U2
"Unarmed Against the Dark" by The Feathermerchants
I am sure there are more, but I cannot think of them right now.

A friend of mine calls these unintentional greatest hits albums. It's not just that you listen but a good many of the cuts have gotten radio air play too.
Synchronicity by The Police falls into this catagory as well. It's also why The Stones should have quit after Let It Bleed.

With the weather being so beautiful and fall-like here, I can't help but think that it's been a very Joshua Tree by U2 kind of week.
