What is your start-to-finish disc?

What album/tape/CD/release did you love from beginning to end? No dogs, all awesome songs! No best-of's or compilations.

For me, it is:
Rush - Moving Pictures (really anything from Fly by Night to Power Windows)
Haircut 100 - Pelican West
Metallica - Master of Puppets
Oingo Boingo - Nothing to Fear
Duran Duran - Rio
Anthrax - Among the Living
Everything Everything - Arc
Level 42 - Level 42
Marillion - Misplaced Childhood

Metallica - Master of Puppets
Level 42 - Retroglide
Soul Coughing - Ruby Vroom
Soul Coughing - Irresistible Bliss
Queensryche - Operation: mindcrime
Queensryche - Empire
Pink Floyd - The Wall
Peter Gabriel - So

Massive Attack's 'Mezzanine', no question.

Other than some Classical works like Bach's Mass in B minor, here's 2 (I think, haven't heard these in a bit so there might be 1 weaker track, but) the Todd Rungren photo made me think of XTC's 'Skylarking' (he produced it), & Sinead O'Connor's 'the Lion & the Cobra'. I can come up with more, but Massive Attack made me reply.
