Yes
I think it's rare for me anyway to enjoy every song on a album from start to finish. Album's themselves in recent years are getting rarer so this will not help matters.

I've just been listening to smashing pumpkins Siamese dreams which is one of them. Some others are

Nirvana nevermind
Pearl jam ten
Jacko thriller
Air moon safari
Anthony and the Johnson's I am a bird now
Arcade fire funeral

I'll keep adding when I remember.

What is your list?

Too late you have admitted it now, its there for posterity, and don't think about editing it out, as it'll just go straight back in :D
 
Fleetwood Mac both Tusk and Rumours
Pink Floyd the Wall certainly
I've recently rediscovered Everything but the Girl, the Platinum Collection album is on Amazon Prime and there's not a bad track on it though I'm not sure it fits in exactly with the theme since it's a best of.
Dire Straits, Brothers in Arms and Love over Gold, both filled with goodness from end to end.

Loads of my favourites already listed but no mention of You wear it well by Rod Stewart.
While I am slightly biased (my father played violin on several tracks) it just seems to work as an album and each track stands repeated listening.

Another as yet unmentioned album is 76.14 by Global Communication - surely the best ever chill out cd..?

4way Street by CSNY, Seconds out by genesis, an amazing live album with some brilliant drumming, Band on the run by wings, Steely Dan, countdown to ecstasy..

Lucky bugger (y)
never seen them live but I bet they put on a good show. There was a great quote years ago, something like Emerson used to climb inside his organ during a show. but got a shock and stopped doing it :D
