No that would be Portishead :D

As for skits, they were what my fast forward button was made for.

ex: I know this is a cliche example but on DSOTM there are many points in which no music is played and there is just a break between songs. But without that i think the album would be lacking.
I think if you sat down and listened to DSOTM right now you'd be surprised by how little of it is like what you describe, and none of it involves Roger Waters making dumb jokes. There's nothing wrong with having little interludes of some kind between songs. As you say it can help link the songs together. But how many hip-hop skits can you think of that really move the album along?

By skits do you actually mean like people talking and making jokes..? Or just anything thats not music and fills space between songs.

Skits have to be very punchy, otherwise I'll just skip them, even if they were funny the first time. Fishscale by Ghostface Killah is a perfect example of an album that is weighed down heavily by so many pointless skits...

Well, the word "skit" definitely implies people talking and that certainly seems to be the case on most hip-hop albums. But for argument's sake we can certainly expand the discussion to include any non-musical interlude between songs.

When you we're talking about DSOTM I was assuming you were referring to non-musical interludes in general, not specifically ones with people talking.

and the last Erik Sermon album, jackin' for rhymes, where the dude's like "gimme all your sixteens, i don't want your jewellry!" lol
