Subject: The list is now WEBIFIED!
This list is gonna get really hard to manage mighty quickly.  So, I started up a new spreadsheet based on what we have here so far and uploaded it here: http://geocities.com/rubennyc/gapless_albums.html

Continue posting additions in this thread and I'll do my best to keep the spreadsheet up-to-date.

i think this is work for a life-time.

in my humble opinion, a gapless album is an album which is listened as it was recorded with no additional encoding or decoding gaps*

for example, the album "full circle" by pennywise doesn't have any glued songs but each and every one are separated by an original gap of 1 second or so. if i was gonna listen this album on my dap and it reproduced 3 seconds gap or 0 seconds gap between songs it wouldn't be gapless for me. label me anal.

albums in which 2 songs play gaplessly but other normal tracks play with incorrect time gap between them, (babylon zoo's "the boy with the x-ray eyes", for example) are not gapless albums to me too.

there should be gaps where they were intended and lack of them accordingly. otherwise it ruins my listening experience.

bottom line (in my humble opinion): every album is gapless*, it just depends where you listen to it.

if i missed the point, 'cause sometimes i look but i don't see,
here's a few examples following your lead:

baylon zoo "the boy with the x-ray eyes"
dwarves "the dwarves must die"
holy terror "mindwars"
sodom "agent orange"

Sting - Brand New Day - "Big Lie Small World" -> "After The Rain Has Fallen"

Bit the shed again. Typical.
