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.
Boston: Boston CCR: Cosmos Factory Head East: Flat as a Pancake Bryan Adams: Reckless Coleman Hawkins discovers Ben Webster Led Zepplin I The Carpenters Christmas Album Boz Skaggs I Stevie Wonder: Talking Book Christopher Cross Jackson Browne: For Everyman Carol King : Tapestry Beatles: Rubber Soul, Sgt Peppers, Abbey Road Beach Boys: Pet Sounds Tim Buckley: Greetings from L.A. The Who: Live at Leeds Santana: Abraxas Alman Brothers: Eat a Peach Moody Blues:( any) |
As a guitar player myself, SRV is my second favorite guitarist and I own all his albums, but Tell Me is the same monotonous type of song I’ve heard in every corner blues bar and has no special flavor that he usually adds to a song, even his covers. I always skip it. Dirty Pool is another song that’s monotonous. Maybe it sounds interesting to non-players, but it’s just a bunch of tremolo picking with an easy standard blues solo and isn’t that catchy. And I think he has at least one or two of those type of songs on every album, which is why I didn’t include any of his albums. Neither did I include my favorite guitarist - Buckethead - even though he has over 300 albums and I have 280 of them. But I did include some other guitarists who have a solid album all the way through. For instance, I think Nick Johnston’s Remarkably Human is the best guitar album I’ve heard in 30 years and doesn’t have any weak songs. |
@jssmith I think the key here is that you're a guitar player and a couple of the songs bore you from both playing and listening viewpoints. Fair enough--maybe we should split these lists into categories for musicians and non-musicians and further by under the influence or not under the influence ? |
@jssmith BTW who is your favorite guitar player ? I'm torn between Gary Clark Jr. and Joe Bonamassa--when younger it was Chet Atkins |
