Both Kings of Leon albums
The Fray - How to save a life
Cicada - Cicada

Easily the four albums I can just play right through!!!!!!

Everything else is in playlists.

I have a few favourite albums in my collection that I repeatedly listen to, know through and through chord changes and every note, part etc. etc.

I listen to whole albums 99% of the time, its very rare for me to listen to a compilation. I just don't get on with them, but that is also in part defined by my taste in albums. I've got virtually no 'pop' albums at all, mainly because I like the album to go places, mean something. I'm not a fan of the 3:00 song so glamourised by the pop industry.

That said of all my albums the most played and most memorised ones are:

John Mayer - Room For Squares

Delirious? - Glo

The latter is a superb example of the kind of album I like. Okay, so its a worship album, christian stuff, but there is hardly a track on there that doesn't run into the next track in some way, done in blocks of 3 or 4 tracks at a time. The whole album is a kinda journey, starting off with a quiet choral underpinning before launching into a strong lead guitar part and building up as the song goes on; the album finishes with what they call "Glo In The Dark (Pt 4)", one of several jammed out tracks on the album that includes some superb orchestration including strings, bagpipes, and the works. The Producer really deserves some form of award for the work he's done on the album as its quirky choice of extra instruments to go over the top of the bands standard bass, guitar, keys, and drum just somehow works and has been sensitively mixed.

For me the difinitive album will pretty much always be...

Queen - A Night at the Opera.

I always have to listen to it from the first note to the last.

Opeth - Blackwater Park.

Yes, it's a death metal album which will instantly make people spout that it's rubbish but IMO it is the best album I've ever heard. The tracks range from the savage 'The Funeral Portrait' to the divine 'Harvest' which proves that this band are about more than screaming and shouting 'DEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATH!"

Hearing the album performed live on several occasions only went to further cement it as my favourite album.
