I'm with you here. "Blonde on Blonde" can creep me out at times. for “Just Like a Woman,” scares me. The chorus is “she makes love just like a woman / she aches just like a woman / but she breaks just like a little girl.” Ugh.

Anyway, to answer Urban's worthy question:

I listened to "Highway 61 Revisited" about a month ago, I'm thinking of listening to it again soon. I've listened to "Blonde on Blonde" only twice, both last year.

No it isn't. Have you ever tried the old FWM? You should.
New FWM is a production, old FWM is music.
That's all. Let's get back to lists now

I started looking at these best albums of all time lists in the mid 90s, and the albums they listed then they do now as well. It's an ok list for beginners, but once you have heard them you take your own journey and make your own judgements. Consensus lists, all time, yearly etc, can get a bit boring anyway. Lists from individuals can be more individual.

The albums in the OP that I can probably listen to all through:

1 Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band - The Beatles
2. Pet Sounds - The Beach Boys
3. Revolver - The Beatles
4. Highway 61 Revisited - Bob Dylan
5. Rubber Soul - The Beatles
6. What's Going On - Marvin Gaye
10. The Beatles ("The White Album") - The Beatles
13. Velvet Underground and Nico - The Velvet Underground
14. Abbey Road - The Beatles
20. Thriller - Michael Jackson

I like most of these albums. The only one I've listened to at all recently is Abbey Road, and that was only because I working in a wine bar at the time

There'll come a time every so often that I'll stick one of these albums on but, the longer I've been familiar with them, moments like that become fewer and further between.

1. Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band - The Beatles

Already been over this.

Around 2 months ago. Excellent

My favourite Beatles album, 1 month ago was the last listen.
