some albums start off with a bang, don't they? i'm talking about singles, classics, key album tracks, fan favs, live staples, etc merged into the first side of an album, no filler-crap-bullshit-boredom

some examples:

Nirvana

Nevermind

-Smells Like Teen Spirit / In Bloom / Come As You Are / Breed / Lithium / Polly

---

Michael Jackson

Off the Wall

-Don't Stop Till U Get Enough / Rock With Ya / Working Day N' Night / Get On da Floor / Off the Wall

---

Guns N Roses

Appetite for Destruction

Welcome to the Jungle / It's So Easy / Nightrain / Outta Get Me / Mr.Brownstone / Paradise City

---

David Bowie

Heroes

Beauty and the Beast / Joe the Lion / Heroes / Sons of the Silent Age / Blackout

Metallica

Ride the Lightning

Fight Fire With Fire / Ride the lightning / From Whom the Bell Tolls / Fade to Black

post more examples yall

Miles Davis, Kind of Blue (1959): Few "Side A's" made by anyone, anytime, anywhere match this one. If any.

So What

Freddie Freeloader

Blue In Green

Stevie Wonder, Talking Book (1972): Basically, a flawless album.

You Are The Sunshine Of My Life

Maybe Your Baby

You and I

Tuesday Heartbreak

You've Got It Bad Girl

Public Enemy, It Takes A Nation of Millions To Hold Us Back (1988): Still hip-hop's crowning achievement.

Bring The Noise (a hip-hop classic)

Don't Believe The Hype (still one of the best catchphrases ever)
