That's the ONLY way to listen to music. Back in the late '60s, '70s and early '80s, albums had themes, like "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band", "Diamond Dogs", "The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust", "The Wall", Tommy", "Berlin", "Rumours", "Exotic Birds & Fruit", "Psychomodo", "Roxy Music", "Taking Tiger Mountain By Strategy", "Damn the Torpedoes", "Killer", "Welcome to My Nightmare", "The Pleasure Principle", "I Robot", "Tubular Bells", "Brain Salad Surgery", "Bat out of Hell", "Houses Of The Holy", "Master of Reality", "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road...

It's a pure pleasure to listen to them from start to finish. It must really suck to be growing up with what passes for "music" today.

I was going to say Pink Floyd but I guess that was pretty obvious.

Phantom of the Opera is also a great pick too.

Another favorite of mine is Tears for Fears: The Hurting.

That whole album is fantastic.

As far as listening all the way through... I say:

Beatles - any non-greatest hits
Styx - Kilroy was here
Traveling Wilburys - Vol 1 (only because I think I once looped this cd like 10-15 times in a row.)
