You know when I wrote the list I was trying to think of people who I would actually listen to a whole album of. Not many anymore. There are lots from when I was a kid like Joe Jackson and Led Zepplin. Anymore it seems like things are all about just one good song. Adele and Pink are the only two I could think of that actually have albums I would listen to.

ETA: Remember when you would listen to an album and would suffer through a not so great song just to get to the good one?
