Albums you can listen too all the way through and it's all good


I just listened to Jack Johnson's "On and on" Enjoyed the whole thing. Some songs better than others but very listenable all the way through.

OMG! Was anyone alive in 1976? I can't list all the albums as I know them by their covers, not their names. But here is a list of bands. All fist albums are great, and many, like the Clash, were great throughout their careers.
The clash
Patti Smith
The Jam
The Stranglers
The Police
Ian Dury and the Blockheads
The Sex Pistols
Nina Hagen
Talking Heads
The Pretenders
Laurie Anderson
Siouxsie & Banshees
DOA
Television
ETC.

I'm very fond of tons of albums listed here by other goners and listen to them a lot. Now I have some direction for expanding my horizons. However, 1976 to 1982 produced many, many great bands with fabulous first records.

bill10907:, I think that the point you are making is why this thread is necessary. To expand others' horizons?

While you mentioned favorite bands, you failed to mention particular lps from those bands unless you meant to imply all of those bands total output.
