Share albums where EVERY SINGLE song is good

SRV—Texas Flood (kinda surprised i didn’t see this above)

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.

I am so glad to see Tull getting some love here. Not only were they great song writers they were great musicians. Their albums were also some of the best produced you will find anywhere. I use Thick as a Brick to tune in my system anytime I make a change.

@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

@jssmith Ooops--forgot to mention Eric in my top 3
