Albums with no filler; those rare albums where you don't *have* to skip a track or two. In general, I think a lot of care, attention, skill, and deliberation went into the creation of these albums. This may not be in your general taste and some write it off as rubbish just by looking at the names, but as someone who likes this kinda music and listens to a LOT of it... it's pretty easy to tell how much thought & effort went into creating it. There's genuine passion, skill, & love of music in these albums. Every song may not be perfect; but there is something special & distinguishing about each track. This doesn't include "Greatest Hits" and compilations, of course. That's cheating.

While I won't pretend to agree with your picks, I can't shoot them down either as I've never heard any of them in their entirety.

But we do share a love of music and that's whats important anyways. Here's some suggestions of some other albums you may not have heard that have no filler. They're all classics too and I think you may like them A LOT:

This Year's Model-Elvis Costello (1978) (light punk)
Revolver-The Beatles (1966)
A Hard Days Night-The Beatles (1964) (this may be your favorite album waiting to happen)
Rumours-Fleetwood Mac (1977)

I can't tell if you'd like rap or not (you do have Bone Thugs N' Harmony on there which is close), but if you do try:

The Blueprint-Jay-Z (2001)
Stankonis-Outkast (2001)

There you go! There are tons of albums with no filler. The Beatles are probably the very best start towards building an amazing collection of them. If you download any of these, make sure you get the entire album. You can find the track listings by just printing in "track listing Revolver by The Beatles" on an internet search.

whoops!

That's "Stankonia" by Outkast, NOT "Stankonis".
