12 Albums with no skip tracks (solid from start to finish)

The Sword--Age Of Winters
Rush--All The World's A Stage
Pink Floyd--Animals
The Sword--Apocryphon
Jimi Hendrix--Are You Experienced?
AC/DC--Back In Black
Black Sabbath--Black Sabbath
Guns N Roses--Appetite For Destruction

 

listened to it today for the first time in years, I’d forgot how good it is.

 

Metric - Fantasies. Even B side Waves, can't believe it didn't make the cut. Not my usual genre.
AFI - Sing The Sorrow. Also not my usual genre.
Slowdive's latest is probably another one. I hang out in shoegaze as much or more than postrock these days.
If I went through my whole catalog I might find 12.

 

Anything by the Moody Blues or Genesis from the '60s and '70s.

Also Born to Run (Bruce) and Forever Changes (Love)

'80s: Hambi and the Dance, Heartache is probably the most unheard great LP. Also Runaway Horses (Belinda) and The Stone Roses debut

'90s: Pulp, Different Class

 

I doubt this album would get much love from the forum, but I agree! I’d even say the same for Black Sales and Art Of Drowning.

 

Janet Jackson Velvet Rope
Lupe Fiasco's The Cool
Mariah Carey S/T
Pet Shop Boys Please
Van Halen S/T
Anderson .Paak Malibu

That's all for now...

List ends upon a new decade due to erosion of the value of the album first by MTV and later iTunes
This was much harder than originally I thought

 

I'm a Rush fan but they have their flaws and even on this - their otherwise most consistently excellent album IMO - there is Witch Hunt. I can't possibly understand how someone could be moved by what I hear as cheesy music and campy lyrics, but Rocky Horror Picture Show has fans, so... I guess there's something for everybody.

 

Mould's Workbook is a great album start to finish.

 

Even with Rush as my favorite group, I also hear flaws from time to time, and there are individual songs scattered throughout their catalog I can skip.

But not Witch Hunt, which I don't hear as campy at all. A brilliant and even deep construction to my ears.

Completely worthy of where it sits on the greatest album of all time. I'll actually take it ahead of two other songs on the album.

 

What is SF?

 

Elvis Costello - King Of America/Blood and Chocolate
The Posies - Frosting on the Beater
Fountains of Wayne - Welcome Interstate Managers
Billy Joel - Songs in the Attic/Nylon Curtain
Black Sabbath - Sabotage

 

My bet is on Sticky Fingers... and WN could be Who's Next?

Let's see if I'm right...

 

How about debut records with no skippers?

The Band-- Music From Big Pink
The Clash-- The Clash
Elvis Costello-- My Aim Is True
Jimi Hendrix-- Are You Experienced?
Gomez-- Bring It On
Joe Jackson-- Look Sharp!
The Pretenders-- The Pretenders
Supergrass-- I Should Coco
Richard And Linda Thompson-- I Want To See The Bright Lights Tonight
Violent Femmes-- Violent Femmes
X-- Los Angeles

 

I've never even heard of The Sword. Hendrix is a good call (as is Rush and Floyd), but I might pick Electric Ladyland over Are You Experienced (both could qualify).

 

Gomez - Bring it On, the Femmes and Pretenders. Awesome choices.

 

I love Billy Joel, but I'm not sure if any single album qualifies - it seems like there are duds and brilliant songs on every album. Maybe his Greatest Hits...

 

OUCH! Ha ha!

 

Sugar and Bob Mould I'm familiar with, but couldn't say if the albums are good start to finish. Deep choices though! Joni Mitchell - true that! All good choices - though I'd have to go with Who's Next over quadrophenia.

 

Who? Who? Who? Interesting choices.
