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.

Van Morrison - Astral Weeks, Moondance

Joni Mitchell - Court and Spark, Hejira

Dusty Springfield - Dusty in Memphis 

David Bowie - Low, Station to Station

Roxy Music - Avalon

REM - Murmur 

Herbie Hancock - Empyrean Isles

Miles Davis - In A Silent Way, Nefertiti 

John Coltrane - Coltrane’s Sound, A Love Supreme 

 

 

 

 

String Cheese Incident - Rhythm of the Road, Vol. 2

It's a live NYE concert in Vegas from some years ago.  Recording is excellent, the range of styles of music and the shear musicallity is, at time, nearly breathtaking.  Some of the hottest sax I've heard in a long time on a couple of tracks.  Awesome keyboards, violin, guitar and vocals to show off a system.  2 CD set so it's a lot of great music.

Kevin Gray's White Ladder, have it on CD, but recently bought the lp. No idea how the lp will sound, hopefully at least as good as the CD. Not a bad song on that album imo...always one of my favorites. 

@jssmith nostalgia is one heck of a substance.

still, I think there’s a lot to some of these seminal records being superior—I’m thinking it’s like something Eliot was getting at here.

If we want the hobby to grow, however…nvm, I’ve got nothing that hasn’t been said before😅

 

@dirgordoncole agreed that nostalgia is powerful; but, I would argue there is a stronger bias to how you relate to the music of your present when it takes on the role of the "soundtrack to your life" instead of just being music.

Trust me, in 10 - 20 - 30 years from now, you will look back on some of the artists and/or albums that you are listening to today and you will ask yourself: "What the hell was I thinking?"
