I absolutely recommend listening to the full albums of any of the artists that I post, each song is not just a lonely single, they all belong to thoroughly complete and worthwhile albums. However, I'm not always constrained by this fancy, and I'm well aware that music listening doesn't necessitate full album experiences. But when possible I certainly enjoy a good album more than wanderings through genres and influences. Here are some fully immersible albums: (I have some categorized, but some are beyond my categorical capacity)
