I've had two DT marathons, nothing more(yet).

I do tend to listen to certain artists more than others for some periods.... Right now, for example, I have been listening to almost exclusively Opeth for several days, mostly from Blackwater Park, Deliverance and some from Ghost Reveries and My Arms, Your Hearse.

I go through cycles where I'll listen to very little of a group for years and then boom, all of a sudden I'll start listening to everything they did (sometimes several listens of each album).
Right now Yes is such a group - I'm listening to very little of them.
And on the flip side, I'm listening to everything I have by Steve Hackett several times over, including those golden Genesis years. Most likely caused by the recently released Wild Orchids CD, which I've listened to 10 - 12 times since it's release.
I rarely listen to albums chronologically though.

even if there were many bands in the world who had never released a bad album, (Art Bears? Present? Mr. Bungle?) I still wouldn't tackle a band's entire discography all in one go. However, there are albums which demand to be played side by side with others, for example:

Retrospectiw I -> Wurdah Itah -> MDK
Larks' -> SaBB -> Red

I treat both sets as giant two hour albums and I like them much more than REAL two hour albums (Konvergencie, various TFK releases and so forth)

U2, Steely Dan, and The Cure
 
I have everything from Freak Out! to The Man from Utopia but that would take a day to do. 
 
U2 took me a solid sixteen hours.

I have done this about five times with every Rush album I own. Usually I just listen to an album ten times in a row.

I have done, a long time ago. I feel I must have every album of a band to do this though.

Every studio album I mean.

I sometimes will get in a mood to listen to everything by a certain band (or everything I have, in some cases)...that usually means that I will play the albums in sequence when I am driving by myself...I have done this for Yes (Several times), Rush, Van Halen, The Beatles, Zeppelin, KISS, Queen, and a few others....am crazy, or do others do this as well?
