So even on classic albums people will still maybe be eh on a song or 2.

What are albums where every song to you is not just good but GREAT. Where every track you can listen to every single time you hear the album & love every time you hear it.

Minus prince albums

That's Columbia era. Johnnie was also on Stax before that and later Malaco. He released an album in the early 80s on a label called Beverly Glen and he started out on Sam Cooke's label SAR. There's no CD with songs from all of the labels, but there is a box set. I think there is only one or two Malaco songs on it. I guess the Columbia one is good, and here's the one for Stax.

As far as Basia, I like all of her studio albums, but I never bought the 2 live ones. Do you know about Matt Bianco?

Led Zeppelin IV, Purple Rain & Songs In The Key Of Life immediately came to mind. Particularly, Led Zeppelin IV, every song on it is perfection.

Much as I love the Beatles, Stevie Wonder and Elton John, there's almost one song that bugs me on all their records.

Tutu and Kind of Blue-Miles Davis

Madhouse 8 & 16-Madhouse

Moving Pictures-Ravi Coltrane

Mad 6-Ravi Coltrane

There is, literally, like not one album I ever listened to where I felt that there weren't at least 1-2 weak aka songs I like the least, on it. Not one. Even with albums that I really love. There's one always 1-2 on there.

Night and Day - Joe Jackson

The Cars - The Cars

The Old Kit Bag - Richard Thompson

Court and Spark - Joni Mitchell

Iran Maiden made me laugh.

I was going to list Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, but 'Jamacia Jerk Off' is pretty bad.

Thanks! I do know Disco Lady. Yep I have everything Basia has released on CD and VHS, except the recent live CD(Wonder if the dvd is coming?). I have the CD she did with Matt too. I saw her live once and she was fantastic and so was the band, it was back in the 90's(which is the same show on VHS I think). Gotta pull that out have not seen it in years.

^^There's 2 of them. The 1st one came out in 1984, the second 2004.

Upstairs At Erics - Yaz.

off the top of my head...

the the - mind bomb

the cure - disintegration

depeche mode - music for the masses, ultra

the black keys - brothers

prince - parade, lotusflower

decoration day - drive-by truckers

stories from the city... - pj harvey

twilight as played by... - the twilight singers

unknown pleasures - joy division

we were dead before the ship even sank - modest mouse

the queen is dead - the smiths

I don't think there is a single song that I'd call "weak" on any Prince album released between 1980 and 1988. The same applies to the "golden periods" of many other artists and bands (Bowie, The Cure, Marvin, Curtis, etc. - not to mention there's shitloads of classic jazz and other instrumental music albums that have no "weak" tracks on them).

Sly- Stand

If no one else is going to say it I will. "Sex Machine," all thirteen minutes and forty-eight seconds of it, is the definition of filler. Is anyone honestly going to claim that it is a classic?

Gunsnhalen said:

Iggy Pop- The Idiot

Most people seem to consider The Idiot and Lust for Life as being two classic albums that are linked. I'm curious, which song(s) do you think hold Lust for Life back from being an album with no weak songs?
