What albums do you skip in your collection of albums from artists you really like?

The Cars - Door to Door
Steely Dan - Can’t Buy a Thrill
Monkees - Changes thru Good Times. And I rarely listen to More of
Beatles - With, For Sale, Rubber Soul but I listen to the US Counterparts

 

Thank you for your reply. I’ll take a listen tonight I think. I think part of it for me is there just isn’t songs I had really heard of that stood out besides Don’t Go Home.
Thank you though for your insight.
Cheers!

 

The Cure : Wild mood swings
The Banshees : Superstition
Stevie Wonder : Life of Plants
Marvin Gaye : Trouble Man
Bob Dylan : Triplicate
Lou Reed : Mistrial
The Clash : Give them enough rope
Miles Davis : Agartha
John Coltrane and Johnny Hartman
And so many others . I own all of them , but don’t like much about them

 

Rush - Presto.
Has it's highlights but badly undermined by a thin sound.

Scorpions - Eye II Eye.
I own this solely for completism, but it's awful.

Thin Lizzy - Black Rose.
One of their best rated albums. Absolutely nothing wrong with it, but I rarely play it.

The Kills - Ash & Ice
Solid album, lacks a little of the chutzpah of their earlier work.

 

What's your take on the reunion era stuff with Peter back in the mix (Pool It!, Justus, and Good Times!)?

 

Black Sabbath - nothing after Ozzy. Not a fan of Dio in any guise and no interest in Gillan with BS. I know where he belongs.

Metallica - gave up after black album, they imho peaked with MOP. Wasn’t a fan of Justice, though I loved the covers they did on b side of Harvester 12” (Breadfan and The Prince). Also loved Garage Days re-revisited. By the Black Album were getting slower and stodgy, with a power ballad for God’s sake (Nothing Else Matters). Haven’t heard anything since to make me feel I’m missing out.

AC/DC - Bon years is where my allegiance lies, even though he was gone before I got into them in early 80’s. For those about to rock I got on release, was in 2 minds, some great tracks, some not so great. Massively excited when Flick of the Switch came out, oh dear what a disappointment. Gave up on them at that point. Heard the odd decent track since but not enough to buy an album.

Zappa - my introduction was Sheik Yerbouti, so lots of albums from that era, fair few early to mid (Hot Rats and Apostrophe being my favourites). Little later stuff. All the Stage albums - definitely felt like diminishing returns by this point.

 

It’s all good.

 

Not to mention it’s their best album!

 

I don't think I've listened through neither "Angel Band" nor "13" by Emmylou Harris once in the time I've own them. But I own them, because I need a complete collection.

 

Three words that all start with M.

 

I picked up 5 different albums today as this spurred me to finally do so

 

The Indigo Girls' ill-advised Jesus Christ Superstar project.

 

Ahh...Mickelback.

 

The Doors: Soft Parade
Peter Gabriel: Up
Beach Boys: Smiley Smile
Moody Blues: In Search of the Lost Chord

I agree completely with the above.

Can’t By a Thrill by Steely Dan.

I own it but never play it. It just never clicked with me.

 

Last Exit by Traffic.

Again I own it but never play it.

 

Good Times - pretty darn good. I don't think I like the the two

 

all Ringo Albums after his debut.

 

Paul Simon - Rhythm Of The Saints
Allman Brothers - Win, Lose, Or Draw
Jeff Beck - Beck, Bogert, & Appice

 

Elton John. All from Rock Of The Westies on.

 

Too Low for Zero is pretty good.
I remember Billy Joel replying to Elton’s comment that BJ doesn’t put out enough albums. BJ replied “well he puts out too many.”

 

Iron Maiden The X Factor and Virtual XI. Did not like Blaze Bayley before Maiden and found him a not suitable choice as vocalist for them so I never even listened to those 2 records.

 

The last 3 Aerosmith studio albums.

 

Anything from Iron Maiden, after their 1st 3 LPs... Even the 3rd is rarely played
