Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon (the whole album is really just two songs, side one and side two. it would be one song if CD's existed back then)
Beatles - Revolver (I've never heard song many different sounding songs flow so well together)
Herbie Hancock - Headhunters (not a single bad note, pure groove)
Frank Zappa - Bongo Fury (just pure entertainment)
Stevie Wonder - Innervisions (not enough songs on that album)
Bob Marley - Exodus (simply perfect in every way, can't stop listening to it)
Marvin Gaye - What's Going On (can you believe Motown didn't want to release this?)
Derek and the Dominoes - Layla and Assorted Love Songs
 
Ones that I can always play straight through without skipping anything:

Steely Dan - The Royal Scam
Sufjan Stevens - Illinois
Belle and Sebastian - Boy with the Arab Strap
Led Zeppelin - IV
Liz Phair - Exile in Guyville
Beastie Boys - Paul's Boutique
Andrew Bird - The Mysterious Production of Eggs
Elton John - Honky Chateau
Radiohead - In Rainbows (the live show locked this one in my head)
