And that should have been my first thought. You an ex Radio Nordsee listener, Saga Lout?
I offer you the first three albums of Bruce Hornsby & the Range. Timeless class which I still play regularly
No - Loved THE single and a mate bought the album Moontan - I recorded it on reel-to-reel (look it up young'uns!) and recently converted it to MP3. I was looking for it on CD, which is when I discovered that some CD versions have different track listings. Great band, Golden Earring, hugely underrated, but not commercial enough maybe?
That's interesting, I'll have to check them out.
I only know Radar Love; which is IMO the best driving song ever. Period. FACT
I'd argue that every track on the Thin Lizzy album is crap (no filler or novelty just a bunch of ordinary songs); particularly set against, say, Revolver which you might disqualify due to Yellow Submarine.
Getting into the spirit ,these:-
Sgt Pepper - The Beatles
Revolver - The Beatles
Beggars Banquet - The Stones
Something Else - The Kinks
The Piper at the Gates of Dawn - Pink Floyd
Stand Up - Jethro Tull
The Yes Album - Yes
Harvest - Neil Young
Led Zeppelin III
Rattus Norvegicus - The Stranglers
Sheet Music - 10cc
Pet Sounds - The Beach Boys
Automatic for the People - REM
Yep defo agree with Rattus...although i might be biased

Yes, hugely underrated, probably because they are Dutch, and there is a lot to check out. They actually started six months before the Beatles played their Hamburg gig, yet are still tramping round the Netherlands playing live. I would love to catch them again before we all get past it.
Whilst in the 'Sailors Arms' pub in Newquay..way back in 75/76 I heard a track called 'Close to the Edge'............absolutely loved it....went back to SE9 a few months later and bought the album (of the same name) it was by a band called 'Yes'......still one of my all time favourites!! Anyway my top 10 of Albums without a duff track are-:
Close to the Edge - Yes Goodbye Cream - Cream Dark Side of the Moon - Pink Floyd Complete Clapton - Eric Clapton Sgt Peppers - Beatles Whats the Story Morning Glory - Oasis London Calling - Clash Diva - Annie Lennox A Rush of Blood to the Head - Coldplay Revolver - Beatles
There are many others....but I'll stick with this..........for now!!!
Loads of (pretty worthy) mentions for Revolver, but point of order here....Yellow Submarine, does that really stack up against the rest of the album?
Might have to disallow Legend and Complete Clapton as they're greatest hits albums really.
Not about favourite albums, there is another thread for those, but ones where all the tracks are so listenable you just don't want to skip them.
Ok Seth yes you raise a fair point.... therefore I'll swap Complete Clapton for 'Ocean Boulevard' - Eric Clapton and Revolver for .....Bat out of Hell - Meatloaf.
I never skip any track on any albums I've mentioned....but agree that 'compilations' should not be included.
Stoned - Lewis Taylor Station to Station - David Bowie Gentlemen Take Polaroids - Japan Hope - Foy Vance Nightfly - Donald Fagan Aja - Steely Dan Live - Donny Hathaway Try! - John Mayer Trio
Comments
Agree about Led Zep generally not having recorded a bad song. Certainly agree with Is This It - the Strokes.
Death Cab for Cutie - Narrow Stairs
Daft Punk - Discovery
Muse - Origins of Symmetry (saw it performed at Reading and it was too good. Can't get over it at this present time.)
The xx - xx
Rage Against the Machine - Battle of Los Angeles
I've attempted to be as impartial as possible.
The Rakes - Capture/Release
The Rakes - Ten New Messages
Nirvana - Nevermind
Eddie Vedder - Into The Wild
Matthew Dear - Black City
Damned-Light At The End of the Tunnel
Sex Pistols-The Great Rock & Roll Swindle & Never Mind The B****cks
Stone Roses-Stone Roses (greatest album & band ever imo)
OMD-greatest hits
