  Tron Legacy Soundtrack by Daft Punk
 

 
I think I've played this album non-stop for the past few days.  

It's indeed a good album, although I wouldn't go so far as to call it flawless :)

Fleetwood Mac - Rumours
Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon, The Wall, Animals
Blue Rodeo - 5 Days in May
Loreena McKennit - Elemental, The Visit, The Wind that Shakes the Barley
Patricia Barber - Smash
 
If live albums were allowed I would say Neil Diamond Hot August Night
 
Not sure if this fits the criteria but JD Souther - Natural History is an amazing album with a different very original take on many of the classics he penned for the Eagles, Linda Ronstad and other stars of the 70's.

  Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon, The Wall, Animals

 
Dark Side = Yes
Animals = YES! (one of the best under-rated record of all time)
The Wall = Hmmm.... Not sure.  I skip over "Bring The Boys Back Home," "Young Lust," "Don't Leave Me Now," "Goodbye Cruel World" and "Outside The Wall" every time.  I think you really have to like Theatrical Rock in order to play that album front to back.

The Wall is definitely an acquired taste but when played as an album I do love the story and enjoy every song. Personally I like the songs you mentioned but if you split them out separately they will feel disjointed because they often flow into the next song on the album. If I hear the songs mentioned separately because I have my list set on random mix I enjoy the song but want the song to continue onto the next one LOL.
