I like to listen to Roth-era Van Halen albums back to back, in chronological order:

 

Van Halen and Van Halen II

Women & Children First and Fair Warning

Diver Down and 1984

 

I think my favorite back to back listen is the previously posted The Cars and Candy-O.

Pink Floyd: Dark Side, Wish You Were Here

Rush: Moving Pictures, Signals

Richard Buckner: Devotion and Doubt, Since
