I like your list rozap, in particular Mouthfuls. I don't think it enough people know that album. There is no doubt that the single has taken over as the dominant force in music. Not a lot of people listen to albums anymore. But I bet people have been saying that ever since they started releasing singles on vinyl. There will always be people that gravitate towards great bodies of work the the complete album. And there'll always be artists celebrate the album as a total body of work. I would put a couple predictable ones on my list:

Yankee Hotel Foxtrot -Wilco Sea Change- Beck Beatles- Abby Road Also Oui -Sea and Cake Oh Inverted World -the Shins The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust -David Bowie Pet Sounds - The Beach Boys Eureka- Jim O'Rourke

And on and on and on.... Sooooo many.

Those are the first to come to mind. Love all of them.
