Since you guys have covered great start-to-finish records of the 60's and 70's pretty well, here's a few great ones from the last 25-30 years that I've fallen in love with:

I was going to write another joke reply by listing greatest hits albums of great artists, then I thought I'd just play it straight.

The Who - Who's Next

Rumours - Fleetwood Mac

Boston - Boston

Aja - Steely Dan

Breakfast in America - Supertramp

Abbey Road and Sgt. Pepper - The Beatles

Born to Run - Bruce Springsteen

Dark Side of the Moon - Pink Floyd

Innervisions - Stevie Wonder

Led Zeppelin IV - Led Zeppelin

I think Pet Sounds, Tapestry, Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, 2112, Hotel California, Blood on the Tracks, Wish You Were Here are great, great albums, I just don't think every song on these are great. And Rolling Stone Magazine's top 50 in list of the greatest 500 albums of all time is an absolute joke.

I don't post often...almost never but I really like these types of posts-I get to check out a bunch of music I don't know...so thanks for that.  For me, an album that didn't get much airplay but I hope some of you will check it out.  Straight ahead rock/roll with good lyrics, fun start to back.

The Refreshments-Fizzy, Fuzzy, Big & Buzzy

That's easy:

 

The Ocean Blue / The Ocean Blue

 

 

@rodcrownover2 

I love that album by the refreshments! Was going to list that myself. One of the few albums where I put on a set of headphones at a music store and bought the CD. So great when you discover something yourself. I have 2 LP copies of it!...just in case.

The Flaming Lips - Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots

John Hiatt - Walk On

Rolling Stones - Tattoo You

Elton John - Don't Shoot Me I'm Only the Piano Player

U2 - Joshua Tree

Pink Floyd - The Wall, WYWH, DSOTHM

 

Heartbeat City - the Cars.

Porcupine Tree

"Deadwing"

Natalie merchant Tigerlily

pink Floyd the wall

Harry Belafonte live at Carnegie hall 

 

My 'desert island' list:

Allman Bros. - Fillmore East

Floyd - Dark Side, Wish You Were Here

Hendrix - Blues

Derek - Layla

Santana - Caravanserai, Abraxas, Moonflower

Boston - Boston

Jeff Beck - Blow by Blow

Miles - Kind of Blue

Coltrane - A Love Supreme, Blue Train

Bill Evans - Waltz for Debby, Moonbeams, Everybody Digs, Trio 65, Undercurrent

Metheney - As Falls Wichita

Maynard Ferguson - Live at Jimmy's

Bobby Hutcherson - Head On

Yo Yo Ma - The Cello Suites Inspired by Bach

Wynton Marsalis - Baroque Music for Trumpets, Trumpet Concertos, Baroque Music for Trumpet (with Edita Gruberova)

Alison Balsom - Bach Works for Trumpet

Rachel Podger - Biber's Rosary Sonatas (also good renditions by Hélène Schmitt and John Holloway (The Mystery Sonatas))

Mercury Baroque - Vivaldi L'Estro Armonico, Op. 3

 

 

There are lots and lots of them on an individual album basis, but only one group's entire catalogue fits this criteria (with a very minor exception).....Steely Dan. Exception is one song where Becker (RIP) sings on their last album. Dire Straits is close since they have a few albums that meet the criteria as does Pink Floyd, and the Beatles certainly have several (they are neck and neck with the Dan in terms of quantity of perfect albums, but have many bad songs).

Couple that haven't ben mentioned:

Pretenders "Learning to Crawl"

Carol King "Tapestry"

Van Morrison "Poetic Champions Compose"

Tom Waits "Closing Time"

  -G

OMG, how could I forget this one. And a double album at that. Saw his goodbye tour in 2019, played the whole album and EVERY song was a awesome.

Elton John - Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

Some have been mentioned:

The Cars debut album "The Cars"

Marvin Gaye "What's Goin' On"

Mister Mister "Welcome To The Real World"

Foreigner's debut album "Foreigner"

 Steely Dan "Aja" (Saw them do this in concert a few years back)

Eagles "Hotel California"

I have other Ambient and EDM albums that I enjoy, but probably too obscure for this forum.

I like all kinds of music whether it's old or new, except for Opera. The one rule I follow when listening to the same album over again or paying for a concert is - "do I get tired of hearing that singer's vocal?".  With that being said,,,,,,

The one album that I will always return and listen from beginning to the end is Boston's debut album. Brad Delp vocal is one of Rocks iconic singer - hands down!

Crean: Disraeli Gears

Pretenders: Debut (self-titled) album

Stones: Sticky Fingers

Doors: L.A. Woman

CSN&Y: Deja Vu

Bowie: Pin-ups (nothing but covers but all 12 are great and Aynsley Dunbar is the drummer!

Forgot about Hums of the Lovin' Spoonful.

Also, have to agree re. Beatles albums having at least one dud (though this is more applicable to their post-Rubber Soul stuff).  I am probably the only person on the plan who does not care for Long and Winding Road.

@gosta 

We got the same tastes!

Doors (1st Album)

LA Woman

Dr. Feelgood

Blood on the Tracks

Dark Side of the Moon

Iron Maiden Piece of Mind

I could go on and on....... and on. 

 

@gratefuleric Thanks for the newer artist list. I’ll be listening to all you posted hopefully find one or two to add to my collection. I agree partly with @artemus_5, I have a tough time getting into the newer music. Responses like those posted here help me expand my music appreciation and increase my enjoyment of the hobby.

 I interpret the posted question as what can you listen to every song on an album as there are certainly stronger and weaker songs even on those albums deserving to be on this list such as Pink Floyd - DSOTM.

I see my suggestions in the replies already so I won’t repeat them here.

Thank you to @1111art for posing this question.

Randy Travis - Storms of Life

Share albums where EVERY SINGLE song is good.

Okay. As usual, this has turned into answering the question

SHARE ALBUMS THAT ARE EXCELLENT!

FWIW. I own and listen to many of these albums that have been posted. I know that some of these albums have filler songs. Yes, they are excellent albums. But they don't fit the criterion of the OP original question.

OTOH it is interesting to see what others believe is good music. I'm always interested in new music. But too often it is a soulless & mechanical due to all the computers and processors used and often needed because the artists today only need to look god and have stage Charisma. Auto Tune will take care of the poor vocal abilities. Thats just the beginning.

As for newer music that I like which has little or no fillers

• Layla Zoe - Breaking Free & Live Spirrit of 66
• Within temptation - Black Synpkony
• Beth Hart & Joe Bonamasa - Live
• Toronzo Cannon - The Chicago way - Preacher, Politician Or the Pimp
• Sass Jordan - Racine - &   Rats
• ZZ Top  - Most all of them

 

 

 

It took me a while to think about  but Bookends by Simon and Garfunkel  does not have one track on it that I do not like.
