Share albums where EVERY SINGLE song is good


It rarely happens to me, but in a pile of records I bought over the summer I

found one with no cover. Shocking Blue’s 2nd album. 'At Home' (I’m your Venus is on it).

Even most Beatles albums have at least one song I could pass on, but not this one. Horrible fidelity, scratched to hell, but damn...

So I’d love to hear of other records that you all could suggest.

Great thread with lots of good choices. Guess I'll have to go obscure, or at least semi - obscure, to try and not repeat anything:

JJ Cale - Naturally

Rosanne Cash - Interiors

Lloyd Cole & Commotions - Rattlesnakes

Crack The Sky - Animal Notes

Mark Eitzel - Sixty Watt Silver Lining

Everything But The Girl - Amplified Heart

Grapes of Wrath - Treehouse

It's Immaterial - Life Is Hard and then You Die

Ivy - Apartment Life

Grant McLennan - Horsebreaker Star

Pousette - Dart Band - S/T debut

Wishbone Ash - Argus

Warren Zevon - Sentimental Hygiene

Since it took 150 - 200 posts before "Court and Spark" (Joni Mitchell) or "For Everyman" (Jackson Browne) were mentioned, I wonder what else we've forgotten?.

So, here's a few more that have not been mentioned yet:

Jim Carroll - Catholic Boy

Lloyd Cole - S/T solo album

Dada - Puzzle

Dixie Dregs - What If

The Housemartins - Now That's What I Call Good

Humble Pie - Town and Country

Hunters & Collectors - Human Frailty

Aimee Mann - Bachelor # 2

Mott The Hoople - All The Young Dudes

Ocean Blue - Cerulean

Ten Years After - A Space in Time

@dmlaudio Thanks, I think Alvin Lee might have been sending a message with his opening guitar chords on the first song of the album. (One of These Days)

@dirgordoncole agreed that nostalgia is powerful; but, I would argue there is a stronger bias to how you relate to the music of your present when it takes on the role of the "soundtrack to your life" instead of just being music.

Trust me, in 10 - 20 - 30 years from now, you will look back on some of the artists and/or albums that you are listening to today and you will ask yourself: "What the hell was I thinking?"
