Someone on another thread said Weezer's first album was the only one where he wouldn't consider skipping a song. I'm a huge Rush fan, and 2112 is one of my faves, but I hate Twilight Zone, a 3.5 minute waste, imo. Here's some of my choices for albums where I don't skip ahead.

Rush Hemispheres
Boston Don't Look Back
U2 War

Chose albums that I could listen to without skipping tracks and excluded "best of" and soundtracks.

Joshua Tree
Back in black
The final cut
San Francisco Days
Baja Sessions
Hotel California
Upstairs at Eric's
Bat out of hell
Sad wings of destiny
It's time
Come away with me
Fizzy Fuzzy Big & buzzy
Ten Sommoners Tales
Joshua judges Ruth
The road to Ensenada
License to ill

Moving Pictures
Ah Via Musicom
In Step
The Cars
Surfing with the Alien
Blackout (Scorpions)
Powerslave
Bark at the Moon

Rated R
Songs for the Deaf
Appetite for Destruction
Surrealistic Pillow
Deju Vu
Hotel California
Rumours
Tusk
Blood Sugar Sex Magik
Pet Sounds
Smile
Catch a Fire
Burnin
Natty Dread

The Cars almost made the cut. "I'm In Touch With Your World " is a song I always skip.

Pink Floyd both Dark Side of the Moon and The Wall.

The Wall is quite a commitment though. But it's a nostalgia thing for me. My friends and I did that on many many late nights in the year or two after it was released. So replaying that brings back memories.

Also Rush both 2112 and Moving Pictures.

I'm not as big on either Boston of the first two. More likely to listen to just the A side. For you youngsters that means the first 4 songs.

Led Zeppelin II and IV also.

Yeah, as great as the Wall is, I could do without a couple of tunes. Same with "Twiilight Zone" on 2112. But that's really nitpicking.
Waiting for someone to bring up Zep 3 so I can rail against Gallows Pole.

BTW, I never thought about how great that 1st Weezer album is ,top to bottom,until these threads. Really are no duds.

Maybe because no attempt at "slowing the party down"?....meaning,no ballads,etc.?

I'm going to add Aerosmith's Rocks as my representative. Find a clunker there! It's the greatest American rock album ever made, IMO. Even the ballad is amazing! But that's from a band that did the original power ballad with Dream On.

Murmur
License to Ill
Ten
White Ladder
Life's Rich Pageant
Appetite for Destruction
Upstairs at Eric's
The Land of Rape and Honey

Achtung Baby

Do EPs count? Alice in Chains "Jar of Flies" if so.

I really don't get that one...and wasn't going to comment over there on the vote thread (no influence).....

It's the only one that made the semifinals that I don't even own. I mean there were tons of 90s bands like that and I have many many of them or at least a GH album and several songs . I don't even own a single Weezer song in my 12K song library. So it struck me as very odd.

I don't dislike them and seeing the voting I even went and previewed the entire Blue album and yeah I recognize exactly 3 of them.... and Buddy Holly, Undone and Say it Isn't so are good songs. But they never really stood out as a band to me compared to about a dozen other similar 90s sounding bands - that alt/indie hipster doofus with an edge sound. Admittedly not my favorite genre but...I just don't get it I guess. I'd certainly never listen to that all the way through...I couldn't even make it through the preview of most of the songs. As far as greatest debut too....there are certainly others from that same time/genre that I like more.

Speaking of similar bands/sounds how did Bush - Sixteen Stone not get nominated at least a great debut album. I'd rather listen to that or Smashing Pumpkins or Offspring or Puddle of Mudd tbh.

But....to each his own.

Both Jellyfish albums
Rush - Signals
King's X - Faith, Hope & Love
Porcupine Tree - The Incident
Spock's Beard - Snow
Steven Wilson - Hand.Cannot.Erase
Demians - Building an Empire
Galactic Cowboys - Space in Your Face

Right, each his own. I have a massive library as well and no Bush. Can't stand them.

Funny how it works like that.
