What bands can you listen to an entire body of work and be thoroughly entertained all the way through?

I hear you on Funeral For A Friend. They are absolutely one of my favorite bands, no questions asked.

<3 Roses For The Dead <3

I'm also going to have to add the following to my list:

Nightwish
Within Temptation
Tristania

All three bands have their style change a great deal as time goes on, but the quality stays high. 8)

If that's the standard all the music in my collection would have to be listed. I don't think I have anything that at least 3 albums aren't good.

You listed Bob Dylan, and he's one of my top favorites, but there were a couple of albums in the early 70s that were pretty weak. I had to delete him for that :^P

Yeah, at first I thought that was the rule, too. But I think the OP just asks if you like at least 3 albums of anyone all the way through, in which case, with just his first 6-7 and Blood on the Tracks, he more than qualifies for me.

If your understanding of the rule is correct, I'd have to go prune my list like a mother. NOBODY is great with every song on every album of their whole damn career.

I was liberal with my interpretation of that rule. The standard I used was as long as the album as a whole was good, and I didn't feel the need to fast forward, I included it :^D

With strict rules, I'm left with this...

Godspeed You! Black Emperor, as well as the splinter groups
Sigur Rós
Duke Ellington
Ronnie Earl
Stevie Ray Vaughn

 

[Tweak155]

Offspring
Beatles

 

[Spineshank]

Nightwish
Oasis
GNR
Amon Amarth
As I Lay Dying
Cold

Thats probably bout it.

AC/DC. They are the embodiment of Rock 'N' Roll music. As an AC/DC fan I can safely say that chances are if you like one of their songs you like their entire body of work because all of their songs sound the same 😀

Failure
Far
Self
Down
Alice In Chains
Faith No More
Taproot

The only band that I've listened to every song and every album and enjoy all of them.
My favorite songs of all time don't come from LP, though.

Stones - everything up to Some Girls, absolutely! After that I stopped paying attention. The Kinks and The Who are pretty thoroughly quality from top to bottom.
