335Clone's thread got me thinking...

What are some albums that are great all the way through. I mean no throwaway songs, no filler. Just great from start to finish.

I'll start:

Drive By Truckers - Decoration Day
Fountains of Wayne - Welcome Interstate Managers
Wilco - Being There
Uncle Tupelo - Anodyne

 

[Phil513]

Jethro Tull - Heavy Horses

 

[Dew Knot Hump]

Uncle Tupelo - Anodyne

This plus:

Matthew Sweet "Girlfriend"
Urge Overkill "Exit The Dragon"
Kyuss "Welcome To Sky Valley"
The Weakerthans "Reconstruction Site"
Trouble "Manic Frustration"
Nick Lowe "The Convincer"

 

[jaxn slim]

Peter Frampton - Fingerprints
Stone Temple Pilots - Purple
Stevie Ray Vaughan - Texas Flood

 

[Dew Knot Hump]

Stevie Ray Vaughan - Texas Flood

If I was gonna name a perfect SRV record it would be "Couldn't Stand The Weather." Texas Flood has some tunes that are exactly alike.

 

[Phil513]

I always enjoyed The Wall and DSOTM all the way through.

 

[tgk03]

Little Feat - Waiting For Columbus
Laura Love - Octaroon
Anything by Tom Waits

 

[mosiddiqi]

Mellow Candle - Swaddling Songs
The Beatles - Hard Day's Night
Led Zeppelin - Presence
Opeth - Ghost Reveries
Van Halen - II

These spring to mind right now..

I read a really in-depth interview with Roger Waters in MOJO about the making of The Wall last night, interesting stuff.

Stone Temple Pilots - Purple

That's a really good choice.

Here's another one:

Toad the Wet Sprocket - Dulcinea

I bet. Whether a person digs it or not, it was certainly an amazing piece of work.

I haven't listened to it in many, many years. I got it when it first came out and wore that record out.

 

[Aahzz]

Marillion - Misplaced Childhood
Marillion - Clutching at Straws
Porcupine Tree - Deadwing
Yes - Fragile
Phish - A Picture of Nectar
The Black Crowes - Amorica

 

[Dexter Inferno]

Jethro Tull - Heavy Horses

Definitely!

 

[Mark Wein]

Jellyfish - Bellybutton

Counting Crows - August and Everything After

The Wallflowers - Bringing Down the Horse

 

[Prages]

I'll probably be ridiculed for at least one of these.

Guns 'n' Roses - Appetite for Destruction
Allanis Morrisette - Jagged Little Pill

I can listen to both from beginning to end without getting bored.

Mark put up a Counting Crows album. I think you are safe.

 

[Prages]

Yeah, but we have to humor Mark with the Counting Crows because he owns this place.

 

[Mark Wein]

You guys suck.

 

[Prages]

You guys suck.

I actually do like most of the Counting Crows stuff I've heard, but not enough to explore their entire catalog.

Long December is definitely my favorite I've heard by them.
