Albums that are good from start to finish

There aren't a lot of albums that are good from start to finish. Even albums that are heralded as the greatest ever have filler. There are very few albums that are all killer no filler. But they do exist. So name any albums that you like from start to finish, every song.

Elvis Presley - Jailhouse Rock soundtrack (I think it's actually an EP, not an album, but oh well)

Stevie Wonder - Songs in the Key of Life (For a double disc set, it makes it twice as impressive that every song is a classic)

The Jacksons - Destiny

Prince - Dirty Mind

Michael Jackson - Bad

It's my favourite Michael Jackson album, but I can't stand Heal the World. If it wasn't for that song it would be 100% perfect.

I think Heal The World doesnt work very well on its own but it was necessary for the album.It's the transition song from the groove based dance tracks to more melodic diverse set of songs.

Agreed x2. "Fitter Happier" might act as more of an interlude than anything but it really adds to the haunting atmosphere and dehumanization theme(s) of the album.
