Nick Cave & the bad seeds - The Boatman’s Call

One of my absolute favourite albums of all time....but Green Eyes is pretty terrible. If they took that one off then you'd have a pretty flawless album.

Eurythmics - Revenge

That's a surprise.

It's good but well down their rankings

Savage is my favourite of theirs - it needs a deluxe edition with a BD of all the promo videos.

Then 1984, Touch Dance & In The Garden.

Pulp - Different Class has no bad songs on it. Absolute belter of an album.

Came in 12 different sleeves too. Shame about the sound quality though. Too long for one LP.

The only bad thing about Pig Destroyer's "Book burner" is that it ends.
Flawless.

Loads of duff (no pun intended) tracks on Use Your Illusion I & II, Get In The Ring is probably the most egregious example

Would have made a killer single album and still had a few good ones left over.

Hate to say it but there is filler on Nevermind too, On A Plain anyone?

Good call on Royksopp

On A Plain is one of the catchiest tracks on the album

Remember being in boarding school and got the 20 albums for 99p. Thought I was getting different class but got his and hers. Actually liked it. This is hardcore was a real letdown for me. Delighted they got the farewell concert years after they split. Loved his cameo on the Ali G show.

Megadeth - rust in peace

Suprised it hadn't got a mention yet.

joeguevara · 26-06-2020 4:25am

I found the album Tommy by the Who perfect. Every song added to it, even the long overtures and undertures. Not for everyone but is up there as my favourite.

The other one is Led Zepellin IV. Every track amazing. Even though my favourite song is bron y aur stomp on III, can’t deny that this was one of the best rock albums in history. Lucky to see Page and Plant n Munich in 98.

It's complete filler. He wrote it when he was ... on a plane ... and needed one more song for the album.

"Catchy" ? Venga Boys were catchy, Jive Bunny was catchy. AIDS is catchy...

Declan A Walsh · 26-06-2020 4:33pm

There are plenty of albums that I really like but have to skip maybe one or two tracks. Maybe it's just me!

Hysteria has been called

Eurythmics Greatest Hits - no. Uses the album version of Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This). If the single mix was included then they'd have fitted an extra track - Beethoven or Julia maybe.

Erasure - The Innocents - YES

George Michael - Listen Without Prejudice - YES

OK Computer is probably my favourite album and could well be the one I've listened to most. I usually skip Fitter Happier and don't think much of Electioneering either.

Dream Theater - Scenes from a memory

From start to finish, one of the most perfectly composed and produced albums I have ever heard.

joeguevara · 30-06-2020 2:27am

The tape that our 5th class primary school teacher pulled out for religion. Every one a gold standard belter.

Kumbaya My Lord. ...
Shine Jesus Shine. ...
When I Needed a Neighbour. ...
Give Me Oil In My Lamp. ...
One More Step Along The World I Go. ...
All Things Bright and Beautiful. ...
He's Got The Whole World in His Hands. ...
Who Put the Colours in the Rainbow?
Zacheus
Lord of the dance
Colours of the day
Cauliflower fluffy
Morning has broken

Don’t make tunes like that anymore

Anyone said DJ Shadow - Entroducing yet?

Fun fact: It's in the Guinness Book Of Records as the first album to be released made entirely of samples.
Another Fun Fact: DJ Shadow used to go by DJ Shadow and the Groove Robbers. The Groove Robbers being his turntables that he used to sample.

Brilliant album. Would you know which massive attack album is your favourite? I always find it hard to pick between blue lines and protection.

Morpork · 02-07-2020 8:07pm

Anathema - Judgement

Love every track on that. Listening to it as an angsty teenager was just perfection.

Don't know if it's been mentioned yet, but Paul Simons Graceland album is mine. Bought it on cassette and cd(2). Still stick it on if. driving a journey, never tired of it and completely different to what I usually listen to

Anathema released a couple of albums without any bad songs and that ain't one of them, Anyone Anywhere is pure cringe for a start

Alternative 4 has nothing but great songs on it, very underappreciated album.

While I'm an old lad myself, a few more recent favorites albums that stand with the best of them in my humble opinion. Tons of brilliant new music coming out at the moment.

Plainly it's all subjective but I found Alternative 4 to be more overrated than anything. If you look at 'top Anathema albums' lists you'll find Judgment mostly places 1st with Alternative 4 somewhere below it, but still placing higher than it would on my list.

Don't know how you could find Anyone Anywhere cringe and not say - Goodbye cruel world.

Yeah cos they were signed to a label with a bit of cash who gave them a big push on the chick rock front

What Judgment had going for it was that Kit Woolven is a legend of a producer and made it sound like an iconic rock record, it's a great album but some of the tracks are piss weak.

Between blue lines and mezzanine for me.not so keen on protection!

Fishorsealant · 05-07-2020 9:18am

Appetite for destruction is close.. would almost listen to the album through maybe skipping one song only.

Listrydude · 07-07-2020 2:20am

Moon safari by Air, not a single weak tune on that album.
Corrected due to brain fart!
