Solid, work-friendly albums? (normally nsfw ok)

We have Rhapsody at work and I'm often at a loss as to what to pick when it's my turn to choose the music. It's hard for me to get away from what I'm doing in order to skip tracks, and I'm discovering a lot of the albums I like have at least one or two tracks I don't really want to hear. Anyone want to recommend some beginning-to-end solid albums? Explicit content is not at all an issue.
