If so, I have a ton I could throw on there. I purposely stayed away from "best of" stuff because that's too easy  Not quite. 2pac -- Greatest Hits was not as good as it could have been | |

There are no bad songs on...
Beastie Boys : License to Ill Everything But the Girl Walking Wounded George Michael Listen Without Prejudice Vol. I Sam Cooke Night Beat Prince: Prince, Lovesexy John Coltrane: A Love Supreme Jeff Buckley: Grace This thread made me realize I've really been neglecting my music collection, esp. since my Prince addiction hit full force...  [Edited 7/18/06 21:36pm] The check. The string he dropped. The Mona Lisa. The musical notes taken out of a hat. The glass. The toy shotgun painting. The things he found. Therefore, everything seen–every object, that is, plus the process of looking at it–is a Duchamp. | |

The nearly perfect albums: Sign O' The Times - just one song that I dislike. Honey - One of the songs is so-so, and I might be tempted to skip it. Street Songs - just one song that I'm not that fond of. Funkentelechy vs The Placebo Syndrome - haven't really gotten into Sir Nose 
The Many Facets Of Roger - not too fond of the Blue I'll get back to ya with more albums later Sly & The Family Stone -- Stand  It is not known why FuNkeNsteiN capitalizes his name as he does, though some speculate sunlight deficiency caused by the most pimpified white guy afro in Nordic history.

All that comes to mind as real albums are 1999 and Purple Rain. But to cheat I could mention a few hits compilations... HE'S COMING AGAIN | |

I'll have to say Pink Floyd's The Wall. Although I don't really like some songs by themselves, when you put it on, its just wrong to stop it before it ends for any reason (except turning the record over). And The Division Bell, thats only got one song that I don't really like, but in the mix of it all, it fits in well. 1999 and Purple Rain come close, but I hardly ever listen to them as albums, I prefer the single songs rather than them all in a row.
It's really really hard to find that 'perfect' album, which needs to be listened to from beginning to end, in its entirety. There are so few that have songs that perfectly suit your tastes. I'm sticking with The Wall though, it's one of the best albums ever made. [Edited 7/19/06 15:21pm] | |
