I’m taking a page from Ace of Spades,
What are the best whole albums? The one’s where every song is great. The author of the post listed the following:
“#1 Dark Side of the Moon, #2 Back in Black, #3 Led Zepplin IV, #4 Who’s Next, #5 Joshua Tree, #6 London Calling, #7 Van Halen, #8 The Cars, #9 Purple Rain, #10 Appetite for Destruction,, with Honorable Mentions to: Quadrophenia, Synchronicity, Making Movies, Los Angeles (X), Bloodletting, Pet Sounds, Armed Forces, Yellow Brick Road, Revolver, Holy Diver, Paulie’s Boutique, Hysteria, OK Computer, Violator, and In the Court of the Crimson King. “
Some I agree with and some I think are wrong. I would add (or substitute):
Allman Bros., Eat a Peach as well as
Live at the Filmore East
Led Zepplin, Led Zepplin II
Sex Pistols, Never Mind the Bullocks
Bob Dylan, Blood on the Tracks
AC/DC, Dirty Deeds
Lynyrd Skynyrd, Pronounced
I’ll add more in the comments. Ace’s commenter’s skew younger than me, but there are some great suggestions in there.
What about your favorites?
