What is your start-to-finish disc?

Am I the only one that makes an effort to always play an album start-to-finish without stopping if at all possible? I usually listen to 2-3 whole albums a day without skipping a tune.
My n1 albums:
Death From Above 1979 - You're a Woman, I'm a Machine; The Physical World
Meshuggah - Obzen; Koloss; Destroy Erase Improve
EVERY Periphery album.
There's really too many to list here.

I also have a bunch of new vinyls I haven't listened to yet, but I never stop an LP in the middle or at the end of a side.
In fact, the first time I listen to an album, I sit down in front of the home stereo and put the record on and just listen... maybe dance a little too, haha :)

Any album by Belinda Carlisle, Patty Smyth, or Til Tuesday/Aimee Mann. IMO none of them could do a bad song if they tried.

Fleetwood Mac - Tango In The Night
Suzanne Vega - Solitude Standing
Out Of The Grey - self titled
Martika - self titled
Tiffany - self titled, Hold An Old Friend's Hand
Metallica - black album
Running Scared - soundtrack

All I can think of at the moment. I'm not going to include greatest hits albums because there are hundreds.
