I feel like this should be a sticky in here. What is an album you own where every song is excellent? I can think of a few, but currently at the top of my mind is: Pretty Hate Machine - Nine Inch Nails Arc. ______________________________ "Like a bitter weed, I'm a bad seed"- Johnny Cash "I'm a loner, Dottie. A rebel." - Pee Wee Herman Rode hard, put away wet. RIP JHM "You're a junkyard dog." - Lupe Flores. RIP | ||

I dunno I think if you really like the artist then the concept of a bad song on good album is sort of contradictory. Otherwise just buy a greatest hits version. The exception are the one-hit-wonders. That being said I tend to listen in batches of several LP's of artists - that way you can enjoy history of the artist and how they evolve. Also why I love box sets and "In Concert" versions. Some that I can listen to entirely over and over. Lynyrd Skynyrd - Pronounced Doors - In Concert Little Feat - Waiting for Columbus Rare Earth - Rare Earth in Concert Plus a few more. | |||

rush, Moving Pictures. Every song is solid in its own way. Seems like a decade ago, they played the whole album in concert. -.---.----.. -.---.----.. -.---.----.. It seems to me that any law that is not enforced and can't be enforced weakens all other laws. | |||

The Black Crowes - Shake Your Money Maker Listening to this even today, it's unreal to me that it came out in 1990. Their sound just has a timeless quality, and songs that would be perfectly at home on lots of indie, or southern rock stations today as new releases. ETA: Arc, for a more modern pick, I'd say Jason Isbell - Southeastern. Probably the most lyrically and musically complete album I've ever listened to. I never skip a song. If you can't find a song on that one that you identify with, or stirs your soul; I don't know you, and I don't want to. | |||

I agree that Halo Eight is tops for NIN. Been known to jam out with Marilyn Manson's Coma White CD in the truck all day long. Overall, I'd vote for just about any album by Five Finger Death Punch. Yes, I do mean album, and yes, I do play them on a turntable. These aren't exactly mainstream, but everything on the radio here was either recorded before I was born, or about some dude who lost his (wife, truck, dog, etc...). | |||

The way that music is made and sold now, we might not be aware of any whole albums of new music that are solid. It might not really happen anymore. Not too many soundtracks qualify, but I'd put in: The Harder They Come - was the first vinyl I ever owned and still a favorite Romeo and Juliet - The Baz Luhrmann one. Solid soundtrack. I also love that movie. Arc. ______________________________ "Like a bitter weed, I'm a bad seed"- Johnny Cash "I'm a loner, Dottie. A rebel." - Pee Wee Herman Rode hard, put away wet.

Totally. Also, Hemispheres qualifies, IMO. They describe it as the album that pushed them right to their limits of playing ability at that time. It was grind to create, but the product was legendary. I listen to these all the way through: Many of Rush's other albums Boston 1-3 The Eagles: Hotel California Jackson Browne: Lives in the Balance Sarah McLachlan: Surfacing I don't listen to these often, but to the best of my recollection they're worthing listening thru all the way: Evanecsence: Fallen & Through the Open Door, Extreme: III Sides to Every Story | |||
