  • Soft Machine Vol 1
    Kevin Ayers Unfairground
  • Just remembered My kind of Blue by Miles Davis which is way up there.
  • Remember folks, not favourite albums, but ones without a duff track.

    Surprised New Boots and Panties, Ian Dury and the Blockheads hasn't come up.

    I will also give a shout for Rodrigo y Gabriela, their eponymous debut album. Also The Guide (Wommat) - Youssou N'Dour and certainly Buena Vista Social Club (eponymous album).

  • Arctic Monkeys - Whatever People Say I Am, That is What I Am Not!
  • The Downward Spiral - Nine Inch Nails

    Pretty Hate Machine - Nine Inch Nails

    Siamese Dream - Smashing Pumpkins

    The Queen Is Dead - The Smiths

    Crack The Skye - Mastodon

  • Goodbye Yellow Brick Road - Elton John

    Never a dull moment - Road Stewart

  • Six-a-bag-of-nuts

    Trouble is, it's all so subjective

    Automatic for the People - REM



    Too true - Michael Stipe said he would love to go back in time and remove Ignoreland and Sidewinder from that record!!!

    Saw someone else put This Is My Truth... by Manics, which is funny because, for me, that record has one great track, followed by gradually worse tracks, until the final, turgid, cringe-inducing horror that is the final track. The album that made me stop listening to my then-third favourite band. Horrifying! 

    Velvet Underground and Nico is a great shout. 

    For me...  

    Gomez - Bring It On
    Radiohead - OK Computer
    R.E.M. - Life's Rich Pageant
    Ben Folds Five - Whatever and Ever Amen
    Ben Kweller - Sha Sha

  • The La's - The La's
  • Stereophonics - Word Gets Around

  • Soft Machine Vol 1
    Kevin Ayers Unfairground
    Great call on the latter - what a suprisingly good 'comeback'
  • I can think of loads of great albums that still have 1 duff track on them so they don't qualify.
  • Bit of a disappointing contribution from you Henry. I was expecting you to nominate some obscure African world music albums, at least one Jamaican reggae pioneer and a deep south American blues artist who was actually better than Elvis.

    Too many people naming far too many albums and too many David Bowies. I am a massive Bowie fan but to seriously say that Low does not have a duff track is beyond me, side 2 is crap save Art Decade.

  • Bit of a disappointing contribution from you Chirpy.  I was expecting pretty much exactly what you posted.

    Maybe I can help Chirpy?

    Not African, and recently abused by an English producer, but The Jolly Boys' Pop n Mento really doesnt have a duff track, is obscure World Music and is about as funny as you can get a bunch of Octogenarian Jamaicans who played for many a star of the 50's like Erroll Flynn's parties in Port Antonio.
    Beer Joint and Tailoring is also good though not up to Sunshine and Water

    South American dance favourite Miki Gonzalez has one Album which is equally good all through - Cafe Inkaterra mixing andean instruments and dance beats.

    Sadly nowhere near as good as Elvis.
    And you are so right about Bowie
  • Well I was just being honest. Donald Fagen's "The Nightfly" to me is the perfect album. Why would you have expected me to post that?

    My NOW post was.........a joke?

  • Franz Ferdinand - disappointed by their follow ups but that first album is class

    Hot Fuss - The Killers
  • Gold by Ryan Adams
