Two that come to mind immediately:
Elvis Costello Trust "You'll Never Be A Man" "Pretty Words"
Elvis Costello Get Happy! "High Fidelity" "I Can't Stand Up..."

Speaking as a bad girl myself, I find your use of that phrase very offensive, you filthy fucking misogynist.

Pah! As a much older gentleman who should know better, I find your pathetic teenaged attempts to resist my unquestionable-if-illicit sexual charms deeply insulting and wildly offensive.
Rest assured that the webmaster will be receiving a missive from me concerning your provocative behaviour, foul language, and determined refusal to put out.
Misogynist? I am a GENTLEMAN of considerable repute, and not remotely a repetitive chauvinist moron!!

Pah!
As a person of half-Pahkistani descent, I find your use of that word harmful and irresponsible. It may be an abbreviation in England, but in America it is blatantly racist, especially after the recent bombing of Pearl Harbour. Further, you seem to have missed the irony in my previous post, making you a dirty pomophobe. I'll be sending an angry letter to the Congress of Flighty Continental Philosophers reagrding your ploy.
You two are quite clearly engaged in a two-pronged CAMPAIGN of racially-inflected bullying against me.
Nic is QUITE CLEARLY abdicating his responsibilities towards shoring up my pathetic ego, and therefore I am currently booking flights to the so-called United States so I can KICK BOTH YOUR SORRY ASSES.
By attempting to single out certain sequences of songs that are better than others, isn't ChrisMari being an elitist, fascist?
Furthermore, as most of the good songs ever written are by young, straight white men, her post is also racist, sexist, ageist and homophobic.
She probably wrote her post while going much too fast in her car and didn't file her tax return on time.
And don't get me started on the drugs issue.
This is exactly the same sort of attitude that saw the earth swarming with slave ships, concentration camps and the type of awful...
Do I win £40?

By repeatedly demanding money in exchange for your postings in this FREE and DEMOCRATIC forum you reveal yourself as the worst kind of CRYPTO-FASCIST, NEO-CONSERVATIVE CAPITALIST SCUM, the kind who IMPRISON BABIES in ASIAN SWEAT SHOPS and - believe me - there's a VERY IMPORTANT Canadian who will be hearing about this (but not until get back from the States to fly up to Aberdeen to kick your ASS).
You're quite right about Chrissie, mind.
I was always impressed by the final five tracks on Tracy Chapman's eponymous debut album called, ironically, Tracy Chapman.
The songs themselves were unremarkable in the context of the album as a whole, but the tracklisting hinted that a story may be told by their titles alone:
"She's Got Her Ticket" "Why?" "For My Lover" "If Not Now..." "For You"
Coincidence? You decide.
I don't like the cover art though. A girl shouldn't have short hair like that. Grow it long, love. You'll never get a nice man with your hair all sticking up like that.

Oh, what, so she looks a bit like a DYKE, does she?
And you don't like her HAIR? Should it be STRAIGHT like, er, yours????
You are SO grassed up to Nic, YOU SNIVELLING RACIST & HOMOPHOBE.
There are certain albums that i have to listen to from start to finish because the tracks flow so well.
Airdrawndagger by Sasha is certainly one.
While without doubt off topic...
that is superb banterLaid by James is one of the best for start-to-finish listening.
I really like the second half of that album - really chilled out.
I don't even recognise it as individual tracks, they just merge so well.

Rightly said on the first bit of it, Steve.
For me, however, the following albums seem to do this:
NO: Movement.
JD: Permanent.
Bloc Party: Silent Alarm/Silent Alarm Remixed.
Oasis: Definitely Maybe.
Radiohead: The Bends.
Interpol: Turn on the Bright Lights.
Tonic: Lemon Parade.
...and The Smiths: Best 1... and ...Best 2 back-to-back!
Depeche Mode: "Never let me down again," "The Things you said," "Strangelove," and "Black Celebration," "Fly on the windscreen," "A Question of Lust."
New Order: "Subculture," "Face up," and "Vanishing point," "Dream Attack."
Smashing Pumpkins: "Cherub rock," "Quiet," "Today."
The Cure: "Disintegration," "Homesick"
PSB: The entire track listing for "Please;" it all flows nicely together without a mediocre track interrupting it all.
This Time of Night - followed by Sunrise - gets me EVERY time. 
By lesser mortals:
the 1st 3 tracks of Something Happens album (Stuck together with God's Glue) are perfect too - but you probably haven't heard of them
also, all of Prefab Sprout's Steve McQueen - there's one album I'll NEVER listen to on 'random' - definitely a case of 'the whole is more than the sum of the parts' or whatever
I actually had to make a good mix c.d. for this [and I have it too]--
What I call, the 'gothic' side of New Order:
Ceremony [with Gillian] In a Lonely Place Procession Cries & Whispers all 8 tracks from 'Movement' Everything's Gone Green
All 13 songs, back to back, on full rotation repetition, gets me in a quirky goth vibe. Great stuff.
Mr. Disco, Vanishing Point, Dream Attack This Time of Night, Sunrise, Elegia
Insight, New Dawn Fades, She's Lost Control Heart and Soul, Twenty-Four Hours
Garbage--Vow, Stupid Girl
Nirvana- Smells Like Team Spirit, In Bloom, Come As You Are
Disorder/Day Of The Lords/Candidate/Insight/New Dawn Fades She's Lost Control/Shadowplay/Wilderness/Interzone/I Remember Nothing:- Unknown Pleasures. (The Last Supper/Mona Lisa &/or David/Sistine Chapel of the musical world. Untouchable [stoned] immaculate)!
Show Of Strength ~ With A Hip:- Heaven Up Here.
The Cutter ~ The Back Of Love:- Porcupine. Probably the best 2 back to back songs on an album ever! (With the sole exception of Unknown Pleasures).
The Wind-Up/Otherboys/Why D You Imitate The Cutout/Mission Impossible/Somesay/The Seven Thousand Names Of Wah!/ Sleeeppp/Seven Minutes To Midnight:-Nah=Poo- The Art Of Bluff! Pick any two: an almighty album of liberating songs!
...And that's only a few, I'm sure that with an iota more thought the Teardrops (Wilder), lots of Bjork, some of Back To Nature (Magazine) etc,etc would make the cut.
