Share albums where EVERY SINGLE song is good


It rarely happens to me, but in a pile of records I bought over the summer I

found one with no cover. Shocking Blue’s 2nd album. 'At Home' (I’m your Venus is on it).

Even most Beatles albums have at least one song I could pass on, but not this one. Horrible fidelity, scratched to hell, but damn...

So I’d love to hear of other records that you all could suggest.

Duran Duran - Rio

The whole album is outstanding and and the singles are all very good. 

 

dvddesigner,

So right you are. Rio is to me the perfect album. Every song is part of the whole, and each is perfectly realized. When it came out in '83 (?), i Iistened to it every day for 3 years. I still listen to it frequently.

I will add Candy O by The Cars to the list. All great songs that hold together as a single work of art, perfectly produced by Roy Thomes Baker, and inspired guitar playing by the great Elliott Easton.

Pink Floyd: Dark Side of the Moon; The Wall;  Is Anybody Out There;  A Momentary Laps of Reason;  Division Bell

Jennifer Warnes: The Hunter

Van Morrison: Avalon Sunset;  Moon Dance

Neil Diamond: Hot August Night; Stones

Beth Neilson Chapman: You Hold The Key;  Sand and Water

Billy Squire: Don't Say No

Eva Cassidy: Song Bird
