[Ridgeback]

Nick Cave - Boatman's Call
Radiohead - Kid A
Mark Lanegan - Bubblegum
The Cure - Pornography
NIN - Downward Spiral

 

[Hastur]

Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon
The Clash - London Calling
The Police - Synchronicity

Can't think of any others off the top of my head right now.

You must be the only person that doesn’t skip “Mother” on Synchronicity.

The telephone is ringing...

 

[Dwayne Hoover]

Television - Marquee Moon
Led Zeppelin 1
Miles - Kind of Blue
Pink Floyd- Animals
Metallica - Master of Puppets

I mean I could name countless albums but those are the first that came to mind

 

[Dwayne Hoover]

Black Sabbath- Black Sabbath

100% this one too

 

[Rand al Thor]

Violent Femmes - Violent Femmes
Led Zeppelin - IV
Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here
The Alarm - Strength
Ac/Dc - Back in Black

So many possible other choices, but these are old cassettes, CDs and vinyl that I have never skipped a song. Abbey Road is a great album, but sometimes I skip Come Together or Octopus' Garden. DSOTM is great, but sometimes I skip Money. I don't skip anything on Master of Puppets or Justice for All. This really is an impossible task, so I'm just going to leave it at the 5 I put up there and call it a night.

 

[Mencken's Tub]

Clutch - "Blast Tyrant"
Joe Walsh/Barnstorm - "Barnstorm"
Porcupine Tree - "In Absentia"
Masters of Reality - "Blue Garden"
King's X - "Gretchen Goes To Nebraska"

[Atomic Punk]

I restarted my vinyl collection about five years ago and committed to only buying albums that I will listen end to end. For the most part, I’ve stayed true to that commitment, with the collection now over 400. I’m still doing some research on my list, so in the meantime I will add my granddaughter’s favorites.

She is turning 2 this summer. We have “dance party” every Thursday and Friday when we look after her and she definitely knows what she likes. Without further ado, here is Baby Punk’s top no skip albums …

1. Beatles - Rubber Soul
2. CCR - Cosmo’s Factory
3. The James Cotton Band - 100% Cotton
4. Paul Simon - Graceland
5. Michael Jackson - Off the Wall

I’ll try to slip other albums on that I think she might like but she just shakes her head at me and say “NO” until I play one of these. This kid already has me wrapped around her finger … I better start putting money away for her car now.

Speaking of Atomic Punk, I don't recall skipping any songs on the first Van Halen album.

Absolutely! Van Halen and Boston are at the top of the discussion for the no skip list, as well as debuts.

I don’t think I ever skip a song on the first 4 Metallica albums. What a run.

It is a tough task.

No skip? I've alluded to it in at least one countdown, but for me it's Hot Fuss by the Killers. On account of tracks 1-5 (Jenny Was A Friend Of Mine, Mr Brightside, Smile Like You Mean It, Somebody Told Me, All These Things That I've Done) are probably the strongest first five tracks of anything I've ever heard. From there, track 6 and 9 are also pretty solid as well, and once I'm half way through the album, I may as well play it out

 

[Ron Popeil]

Phish - Rift
Beastie Boys - Licensed to Ill
Violent Femmes - Violent Femmes
Cake - Fashion Nugget
Beatles - The White Album

Beatles - The White Album

This one kind of surprises me. As much of a Beatles fan as I am, this is one that I would probably condense by at least a couple songs.

Your granddaughter has better musical taste than 99% of the FFA.
