I’m in agreement. 

Clearly more of us old gits around than I thought 😄

Personally if it's an album I want to listen to then it's rare that I'll skip tracks. Wouldn't call them perfect by any stretch, but they make it the total package.  I'm sure there'll be some albums where that's the case, but if I'm skipping tracks then chances are I prefer the songs to the album, in which case they go in a playlist.

I’d probably claim no more than 10 albums I love are perfect, and I much prefer to listen to an entire album, the poorer tracks have to be really bad for me to skip them. I more listen to playlists when I’m driving.

Do you guys really have that many perfect albums? I find most have at least a couple duff songs I'd rather skip.

Not perfect albums, no, but I still don’t bother skipping the songs.

[Somto Unigwe Raphael]

Oh yeah and I tend to make setlist playlists for gigs I’m going to, especially if it’s someone who I’ve not listened to that much or I know they’re gonna be playing a lot from albums I don’t know. Makes it easier to get into it than forcing myself to listen to loads of albums on repeat.

They don't have to be perfect, but skipping ruins the flow and immersion of listening to an album for me.

That’s exactly like me, very few what I would describe as perfect, the best example of that perfection for me is Ziggy Stardust.  I do tend to try and listen a complete album even the weaker tracks at least a few times but will skip tracks after that.

Can't skip any songs when you're listening to a vinyl through your subwoofer anyway 

[Somto Unigwe Raphael]

Weirdly, OK Computer is one of very few albums I’d class as a 10 and I’m more likely to skip Electioneering than I am most songs on inferior albums.

Yeah this, especially for Glastonbury and other festivals. It's basically how I discover most of my new music, pick up someone I like from @Brave Sir Robin 's playlist then make a playlist for that act from their Setlist.fm stats. Means you get a good cross section of an act's history, and you'd imagine all of their bangers and best songs would fall in their top 25/30 or so regularly played tracks.

When you have Cliff Richards entire back catalogue it's real easy to only listen to perfect albums

It's a 10 but it's the third best Radiohead album. And yes, Electioneering is skippable

Probably their second best for me nowadays. Was always my favourite but slipped below In Rainbows now I reckon.

Are y'all confusing electioneering with fitter happier? 

Electioneering slaps

Fitter Happier is obvs dead but it’s just an interlude rather than a song, ain’t it? Electioneering very rubbish/annoying tune.

[Neil]

wife's opinion on the lineup is that shes paying £300 to watch crowded house.

[Miyn]

OK Computer is a 10. But it would be an even better 10, or an 11, if they replaced Electioneering with Man of War, and Lucky with Lift.

There truly is no accounting for taste

Imagine trying to fuck with Lucky.

Does anyone know why mcfly are listed as a strong rumour on ‘glasto fest Feed’? They seem like such a crazy booking but I bet they’d be good fun to watch.

It's not a bad song, it's just the second worst on the album excluding FH, and I prefer Lift. So swapping it out would marginally improve the album for me.

IIRC they strongly hinted during a breakfast show appearance that they'd be there.

Oh nice! I think they’d be a great Avalon headliner I’d even consider going if it’s the Friday

It was from an interview on The One Show.
