That Album That Has More Good Songs Than You Realized Login/Join

Recently met a guy from eastern Europe who had a bunch of pristine albums he was willing to part with, all of which (with one exception) were pressed and printed there. Albums included Breakfast in America (the exception previously mentioned)

Never realized how many hits were on this album. (Next up is Love at First Sting.)

I've rarely come across an album, especially this old, with so many.

There are a couple Joe Walsh early 70s live. Not bad at all. I have to look up the album names.

Funny, I have been playing Breakfast in America often in the last year, as if I haven't heard it enough in high school. It is just an excellent, very listenable album. It is one of those rare albums that come along once in a blue moon (Who's Next, Back in Black, Rumours, etc) that not only dominate the airwaves and society, but produce more than a few hits.

They seem not to make 'em like that anymore.

One album I remember in that way is Undertow by tool

I saw sober on MTV and would blast it through the stereo we had hooked up to the tv.

Years later I got the album and I remember feeling how each song was better then the last.

I wore that cd thin.

first one that comes to mind is Jagged Little Pill. You Oughta Know (1), All I Really Want (14), Ironic (1), Hand in My Pocket (1), You Learn (1), and Head Over Feet (1)... Five #1's on one chart or another, and another top 15 (#2 in Canada).



I'm gonna vote for the funniest frog with the loudest croak on the highest log.
