*In this age of carrying a month's worth of music in your pocket, I don't really listen to albums all the way through that much anymore. Stereolab, Portishead and Koop almost always get full plays, as do the various mix albums I have, which I didn't count here because you sort of have to listen to them all the way through or you miss something. In most cases, though, I'll stop on an artist and just shuffle through everything, occassionally snagging a song that wasn't quite up to par.

Tortoise - Standards

Phish - Rift

Pink Floyd - The Wall

The Disco Biscuits - They Missed The Perfume

Bill Laswell - Version 2 Version: A dub transmission

The Flaming Lips - The Soft Bulletin

Wilco - Yankee Hotel Foxtrot

Garage A Trois - Emphasizer

you don't hit the skip button when 'stand' comes on?

Embarrassingly enough, no. :)

Though it's probably more for nostalgic reasons than musical ones.

technically, that's a compilation of ep's. to me, "split" was their best album.
