Amazing Album Sides

There are amazing album sides that rock and swing from the first song through the last. The albums they come from are usually outstanding, but one side seems to get played over and over.

I'm going to start with a somewhat obscure and less obvious choice...Talking Heads' "Remain In Light" Side 1: "Born Under Punches (The Heat Goes On)", "Crosseyed and Painless", "The Great Curve".

Which one does it for you?

Nice job reviving this one, Albert, so I'll go with one of your favorite bands:

Side two of Eels' "Daises of the Galaxy". Whiile you can make a case for a bunch of Eels/M. O. Everitt sides, I think this is my favorite Great from start to finish IMHO.

Agree, I frequently play "Electro Shock Blues" the LP release just before Daises. The side with "3 Speed" is great. I frequently hear guests chuckle upon hearing the lyrics of "Hospital Food."

Resurrecting this old thread rather than starting a new one.

This past Tuesday night our music group gathered at my home and among the LPs were the old Jim Morrision, Doors “An American Prayer.”

I can hardly believe it was released way back in 1978 and I recall much controversy, some even calling it “A rape of Jim Morrison.”

Regardless of those times it still moves me today, the Doors remain one of my all time favorite rock bands and this LP is too often overlooked.
