Brian,

Any reason you aren't using the "Browse" mode of iTunes to pick out 
albums, instead of creating a playlist (or two) for each one?  You can 
also use the little check boxes next to each song to determine whether 
it gets sent to the iPod or not.  I can understand the need for a 
playlist for the iPod, so you can easily decide to carry one album on 
it or not.  Having a playlist with the entire album seems like a waste 
though, when you can basically do the same thing in the Browse mode and 
you won't clutter your playlist section with doubles.

Just a thought.  I recently rediscovered the Browse function of iTunes, 
so I figure there must be others out there that have forgotten about it 
too.
