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.

@mjmcubfn I'm a part-time country audiophile when i go to the lake in S Dak for the summer and that's all i get to hear--i agree with whoever said "not much of a fan of the new country" --every song sounds the same with the same chord progression--so not so much audiophile material 

I almost put "No Fences" on my list--the first 12 songs are stellar--but  i always stop the music when it comes to the last two...

The Snow Goose, Moonmadness, Breathless, and Stationary Traveller by Camel

I had already posted earlier but since the Country music issue has come up I thought I would add a few of my favorites. 

Willie Nelson - Red Headed Stranger

Johnny Cash - Hello, I'm Johnny Cash

Dwight Yoakam - Buenas Noches,

Steve Earle - Copperhead Road

And as far as new country goes come on.

Chris Stapleton - Traveller

Sturgill Simpson - Sailors Guide to Earth

 

 

 

Not much of a Radiohead fan but IMO OK Computer is possibly the best pop record ever, followed by M83’s Hurry Up We’re Dreaming and Elvis Costello’s This Year’s Model.

Rush- Hemispheres

Rush-2112

Rush- Moving Pictures

The rest are all pretty damned good too.

The Turning Point

John Mayall

Polydor 1969

Not a drummer anywhere to be heard; an audacious experiment into Jazz Blues fusion! One of my favorites! 

 

Speaking of John Mayall, Jazz Blues Fusion is not only an amazing disc musically, but the live recording is one of the best I own.

Elton John “Madman Across the Water” for the year of their recording it was the best sound quality of anything else.

The vinyl sounder as good as the cd recording.

forgot to put freddy fender - before the next teardrop falls on my previous list

I love a good thread about perfect albums rather than the usual group beating off to Diana Krall. 

Some alt rock and soul additions:

The Pixies - Doolittle

Violent Femmes - self titled

Jill Scott - Experience (live)

Scapegoat Wax - Much Against Everyone's Advice

Liz Phair - Exile in Guyville

Afghan Whigs - Gentleman 

Two I can think of off the top of my head, Aftermath The Rollings Stones, and The Raven Rebecca Pidgeon.

When it comes to Live albums - Strangers In The Night - UFO

For me every song was 'on it' and is considered by many as one of the best live 'Rock Albums'  The band had quite few lead guitarists but on this Album it was MIchael Schenker and he was positively 'smoking'...!  His abrupt solo ending in the song 'Love to Love' was one of the finest I heard in live 'Rock' and he was awesome in songs 'Rock Bottom' 'Lights Out'  The vocals, piano and rest of the band had such a great synergy and gave such a hundred and ten percent performance ....

Music is so subjective and perfect albums are very arguably not perfect. This is like a desert island disc list.  To my taste and liking I can suggest 3 that I don't think have been mentioned...

REM- Document

U2- War

Replacements - Tim

  

Concerning REM, I would say that Life’s Rich Pageant was their high water mark, although not every song was good. I think that Murmur and Fables of the Reconstruction also had some very good material.

For me, Document was the beginning of their metamorphosis to political commentary, led I believe by Michael Stipe. That’s when they lost me.

Subjective, ofc but these come to mind:

 

Deep Purple - Machine Head
ACDC - Back in Black
Black Sabbath - Sabbath Bloody Sabbath
Beatles - Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band

There is only 1 name on any recording where one can be ABSOLUTELY 

sure it is truly GREAT , name IS BACH !!!

Roxy54 nailed it. I don't like, want or need political commentary in my music.

I listen for enjoyment and not aggravation. More than a few artists have gone

down this path and lost not only me but many others. Steve
