I remember often sitting through the whole of Nirvana's Live and Unplugged album (can't believe I can't remember the actual title of it at the moment) many times. Think Nevermind also got the same treatment, but hell, I can't really remember.

This might just be personal taste, but:

Second Stage Turbine Blade
In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3
No World for Tomorrow
The Afterman: Ascension

All by Coheed and Cambria. The other 3 albums of theirs are still great, but I tend to skip over a few songs on those.
I like this guy. Although I have trouble listening through Pearl of the Stars and sometimes with The Black Rainbow when it becomes distorted noise

I'm With You, by Red Hot Chili Peppers.

I think all the songs are pretty damn good, but it goes beyond that with half of them being full on favorites. If it's a song from that album, there's no way I'm skipping it :D
Even "Dance, Dance, Dance"?

OT: I'll throw in Bu-Ikikaesu by Maximum the Hormone
Goodbye to the Machine by Hurt
Hours by Funeral for a Friend
The Autumn Effect and Division by 10 Years
Stadium Acradium (Jupiter and Mars) by Red Hot Chili Peppers

Yes.

My two least favorites on that album are Meet Me at the Corner and Police Station, and even then those are great songs.

About time someone brought the who into this thread. I also consider Tommy & quadrophenia to be amazing from start to finish.
I should have throwin in Quadrophenia. Tommy, while an awesome album, I think lags at points.

Nina Nastasia - You Follow Me (drums, acoustic guitar, and a woman with a haunting voice)
Rilo Kiley - science vs romance (if you like indie music check them out)
Pearl Jam - Ten
Radiohead- OK computer
Arcade Fire - Suburbs
The Killers - Hot Fuss (very fun album)
Regina Spektor - Soviet Kitsch (girl with piano and quirky songs)

I will also add Joanna Newsom, but I have to be in the right mood and she is an acquired taste.

How has nobody mentioned anything by Tool?!?

Tool - 10,000 Days
Tool - Lateralus
Tool - Aenima

Albums by Tool are only meant to be listened to as a whole, they tie in a lot of ambient and instrumental tracks in between their tracks with more vocals and a heavier sound to them. The are at the forefront of progressive metal and are definitely worth listening to.

The Cinematic Orchestra - Ma Fleur
The Irrepressibles - Mirror Mirror
Immanu El - In Passage
Jeniferever - Iris
Industries of the Blind - Chapter 1: Had We Known Better

The 5 above are all a lot lighter and more relaxing than Tool, but they're still great albums from start to finish. They all have orchestral elements to them and have wonderfully rich sounds, all but the first 2 also have a very post-rock feel to them. Well worth a listen

Does This Look Infected? - Sum-41
Appetite For Destruction - Guns N' Roses
Nevermind - Nirvana
Van Halen 1 - Van Halen
Boston - Boston
Enema of the State - Blink-182

There you go, I would include 2112 by Rush, but the B-Side is just awful
