Reply With QuoteYou forgot the greatest single album of all time.
Was mulling this over a few days ago on my way home from work: how many albums can you think of where EVERY single song was good? You know, one of those albums where you actually played BOTH sides of the LP, not just the one? In my experience, most albums have one or two good songs, and the rest is just filler. Throw your nominations out there, and we might make this a poll.
MY choices (in no particular order):
Aerosmith - Toys In the Attic
Boston - Boston
Def Leppard - Pyromania
Journey - Infinity
Journey - Evolution
Led Zeppelin - IV
Metallica - Master Of Puppets
Rush - Moving Pictures
Tom Petty - Damn the Torpedoes
Van Halen - Van Halen (first album)
Honorable Mentions:
Guns 'N Roses - Appetite For Destruction
Fleetwood Mac - Rumours
Phil Collins - No Jacket Required
Motley Crue - Shout At The Devil
ZZ Top - Eliminator
Don Henley - Building The Perfect Beast
Michael Jackson - Off The Wall
Michael Jackson - Thriller
Rock on!

This is not bad either.....
WAS going to nominate that one, but it's a greatest hits album, and that's kind of like, um, cheating; if that were the case, I'd add this:Originally Posted by YellowFever

The Rolling Stones: Beggars Banquet
How could you not include Hysteria??
As for Frampton Comes Alive....I just have 4 words for him: Put. The. Talkbox. DOWN.

Hysteria was a VERY close second to Pyromania (and, yes, I saw them in concert that year); Pyromania was DL's FIRST (of many) really good albums.
LOL!As for Frampton Comes Alive....I just have 5 words for him: Put. The. Talk. Box. DOWN.
Hey, the talk box was a BIG DEAL in 1976!

Frampton? Michael Jackson?
No
Try these on for size
Its called Tourist Season. So why can't we shoot them?
Umm...OK, I cheated.
But my personal favorite is:
Ok, the Gunny beat me to it on The Dark side of the Moon but.....
American Idiot?
My "Embarrassed to admit but I love this album so much" award goes to:
(and, yes, i loved every song on it)
Which was better? Back In Black or Highway To Hell? HTH had Bon Scott, BIB had that new guy (don't remember his name).
And, yeah, I could go with DSotM and Who's Next . . . .

Its a real solid album. The Gunny has liked Green Day since Dookie.
So there Mr Lilo and Stich
Its called Tourist Season. So why can't we shoot them?
A few more. It was hard picking the Dylan Album. I could have chose just about any one of them. Its like picking your favorite Eric Clapton album
Anyway a few more.
And Yeller, I haven't even touched the K-Pop groups
Its called Tourist Season. So why can't we shoot them?
Definitely Dylan's best pre-Band album; and I forgot about "Songs In The Key Of Life".
