Albums Where You Like EVERY Track

[Des-Lab]

I have around 500 full length CD albums. All of them have songs I like. But on nearly all of them, there are also songs that I do NOT like. Some. I like maybe just a couple a lot and the rest are dogs. Others, I like MOST of them, but they contain a few that I don't.

But a very small handful of them, I like EACH and EVERY song and love listening to it from beginning to end and can "groove" or sing along with every single track. Not many albums have that honor for me. But here are the ones that do:

Bruce Springsteen "Born In The USA"
John Cougar Mellencamp "The Lonesome Jubilee"
John Cougar Mellencamp "Scarecrow"
Fleetwood Mac "Rumours"
The Ocean Blue "Cerulean"
The Ocean Blue "Beneath The Rhythm And Sound"
Robert Miles "Dreamland"
Neil Diamond "Moods"
The Graces "Perfect View"
The Eagles "Greatest Hits Vol I"
Badfinger "Best Of Vol II"
Tommy Conwell "Rumble"
Al Stewart "Time Passages"

There are an awful lot of albums that come real close, but one or two songs I don't (for whatever reason) like, keep them off this list. Of course, we've all bought albums because of one or two songs we had to have & the rest is crap. Years later you play one & it's still crap, except for the one or two songs you bought it for, confirming the original diagnosis. One song good/the rest garbage. Although, today, sometimes it's all garbage. Who knew how good we had it & what was coming down, & I mean d-o-w-n the pike, or black plastic digital junkdrain, if you prefer?!

phish - story of the ghost ( vinyl )

i also have to say that ive owned close to the edge through going for the one by yes.

and every song was beautiful.

those nights, playing relayer, the snake. the libretto that the previous owner lost. so many memories.


im not willing to flip through all my albums right now.

oh yeah, i have a promo version of that al dimeola album on vinyl. about half of the tracks are amazing to me.

i owned them all on vinyl

but i sold crisis and pine when i graduated high school

about chewing pine:

i bought it at a thrift store about 6 years ago

sold it a few years later

made friends with this guy around here recently who had quite the record collection

i found MY copy in there, i knew because it had all the impressions i learned when i owned it. including the same smudges on the album cover.

i know this album has had many owners. and in its imperfection it is perfect.

to me

before i gave it back i made a tape of it.

to be honest i havent listened to kottke and supertramp in years.

people learn best when they are reminded right on the verge of forgetting.

I'm surprised Pink FLoyd's The Wall didn't make anyones list. Dark Side was also good. I pretty much like any of the 70s Supertramp albums. Also a big Beatles fan. Any album will do. Have others on my list, but off the top of my head couldn't list them. I have one I also will not mention no matter what.

[MacGyver]

all of these come immediately to mind...

this triad is my favorite set of albums, bar none. i grew up on them, actually. -in cassette form, mind you- and now, seventeen years later, even with the objectivity of an adult, they still stand unparalleled. good, solid music. Amen.

[mstcraig]

Wow Lady Ayeka, I forgot all about LRB! So, in honor of your timely reminder to me, here is Part II of my "Like Every Track" favorites. Some of these are rather obscure, some not so. This will go all over the map. Ready?

The Best Of The Cowsills
The Hottest New Group In Jazz- Lambert, Hendricks & Ross

Holiday- America
The Acapella Project I and II- Glad
Leftoverture- Kansas
Tales Of Mystery And Imagination- The Alan Parsons Project

That's enough for now. Craig

[stuartypoorty]

Queen - Sheer Heart Attack

Kansas - Leftoverture
I taped this recently along with "Point Of Know Return", both Mastersound copies.

Thing is I avoid progressive/symphonic rock like the plague, it's the unacceptable face of English rock (King Crimson excepted) - too many velvet looned ninnies from the local grammar school singing about Prince Eragorthoron and his noble quest for Or'dure.

Kansas would be the other exception, being as far as I'm aware the sole American progrockers. "Song For America" and "Masque" also have their moments. There is a recording of the band in concert on You Tube performing "The Pinnacle"

[clhboa]

stuartpoorty, I would have to agree with you on prog rock. While I like a couple songs each by bands like Yes, Genesis, ELP ect., on the whole I never cared much for the genre. The only bands with prog leanings that I like are Rush, Kansas and Styx. I used to listen to the "Deep Cuts" station on Sirius Sattelite Radio fairly often until they started mixing in way too much prog rock. Every time I would turn it on it seemed they would play either Nektar or Gentle Giant. I would rather they play obscure stuff by bands like Brownsville Station, Cactus, Savoy Brown or The Runaways.

[stuartypoorty]

Exactly, Spinal Tap territory.

The bands you mentioned in the last paragraph are rock, hard rock ,boogie and punk/new wave - maybe in terms of popular music there's a fundamental honesty about straight ahead rock 'n' roll. Not overwrought or over produced.

[stuwee]

UFO ~ Obsession
Scorpions ~ Animal Magnetism
Scorpions ~ Lovedrive
ABBA ~ The Visitors
Black Sabbath ~ Vol. IV

Wow, of all my years of lurking music sites, Triumvirat-Spartacus has never come up once, let alone on a keeper/play all the way thru list:-)<-*praise* I bought it new in '75 or '76, on Capital, pink label, nice heavy LP, well recorded*Hi5* Cheers!

these are a few of mine that I could listen to the whole albums, just off the top of my head.
cheers
gary

[clhboa]

gkwolfman, "Not Fragile" made my list too. I definately agree about "Bridge Of Sighs" too. "Heaven and Hell" is one of my favorite Sabbath albums and would have made the list except I never cared too much for the song "Lady Evil".

[Fast Forward]

any thing by RUBY STARR

[clhboa]

Fast Forward, Ruby Starr was awesome. I would definately put her self-titled debut on the list. Are you a Black Oak Arkansas fan?

[Rat44]

Are you a Black Oak Arkansas fan?No not Really just a fan of the Skinny Girl with the Bigger Than Life voice,,all of her solo stuff was great from her debut ,,album Ruby Starr,,Ruby Sarr with Grey Ghost,,and Smokey Places her last were outstanding

[clhboa]

Ruby Starr also recorded an album for Curtis Mayfield's Curtom label in 1971 as Ruby Jones. In the 80's she recorded a couple very hard to find albums with a band called GREY STARR. This band had a very glossy early 80's AOR sound. In the late 70's she also toured with the band BLACKFOOT as her backing band.

I can't imagine Blackfoot as a backing band.
They do fine by themselves.
Ruby was a great singer, back then many artist just did not have the marketing awareness they have now.
Shame, many never got as popular as they deserved to be.

Grey Star Might be Grey Ghost I,m Listening to her right know I have her 3 solo albums all in Pristine condition,,,
Burnin Whiskey Oh how that whiskey Burns, When my Baby left Me to Whiskey I had to Turn

[Fast Forward]

I may add that any of you out there who have never heard Ruby Starr,,she was the Female singer in Black Oak Arkansas,,but you really need to pick-up on her solo stuff

[clhboa]

No, Grey Starr was a different band. They made 2 albums one of them was called "Telephone Sex" and had her in lingerie talking on the phone on the cover. I can't remember the name of the other one. I have them both on cassettes that someone taped for me about 12 years ago. I didn't really care for these two albums too much. I have some bootleg vhs of this band too. I also have on vhs a screen test that Ruby did in the early 90's where she mentions she was in the film "Indecent Proposal" as an extra. Her obituary in the Toledo Blade also mentions that she worked with Gregg Allman but I have never been able to confirm this. Go, Jim Dandy, Gooooo!!!!!

You should be able to find it on vinyl without too much trouble. It's not that hard to find. Good Luck.

Time-Line was a contractual obligation LP they did. Their record company at the time tried to force them to go mainstream in the hopes of getting better record sales.

Interesting thread. My time of interest in general is mid 60's to mid 70's blues and rock. I find it common that many albums from that era have one to a few tracks that do not hold up in the light of today, for various reasons. I usually don't include crummy sound, as you can usually equalize that to better.... I also find I want to cheat on this list, albums I like all, but there is one semi or total clunker. I just got a couple hundred vinyl, so I am relistening to some stuff for first time in 30 plus years.

Here is an extreme opposite: One of my favorite songs on an album that I can't listen to: Procol Harem A Whiter Shade Of Pale

Here are ones I truly believe 100% hold up as great (in my taste), no fudging:

Blood On The Tracks Bob Dylan
Fillmore East Allman Brothers
Laid Back Gregg Allman
Traffic John Barleycorn
Born Under A Bad Sign Albert King
Dire Straits Dire Straits
Honky Tonk Heros Waylon
Saint Dominics Preview Van Morrison
Layla Derek And The Dominos
Music From Big Pink The Band
John Wesley Harding Bob Dylan
Sticky Fingers Rolling Stones
Exile On Main Street Rolling Stones
Streetlights Bonnie Raitt
American Beauty Grateful Dead
Harvest Neil Young
Tonights The Night Neil Young (very subjective pick)
Darkness On The Edge Of Town Springsteen
Keep On Walkin' Little Feat (a French CD boot 1975 show) had to include!
Waiting For Columbus Little Feat
Second Winter Johnny Winter
Stephen Stills Stephen Stills (1st solo, Hendrix, Clapton etc)
Derek And The Dominos In Concert (or Live At The Fillmore on CD)
A1A Jimmy Buffett
Abbey Road Beatles
First Pull Up, Then Pull Down Hot Tuna

missed some no doubt

[Big Kelv]

According to my playlist history, here's the albums I've listened to over the last few weeks in entirity (and normally would so):

Queen - A Night At The opera
Laibach - Let It Be
Jean Michel Jarre - Equinoxe
Amy MacDonald - This Is The Life
The Beastie Boys - Licensed To Ill

The Prodigy - Invaders Must Die

There's bound to be more but these are the most recent.

[Warped Bezel]

There's a dearth of Queen albums I would actually skip a tune on. Every one was worth shrinkwrapping!

[Big Kelv]

Agreed, the only one I can listen to all the way through is A Night At The Opera and Bohemian Rhapsody makes it borderline. It may sound contraversial but Bo Rap has been rammed down our thoats for so long that I find it hard to listen to - especially compared to the overl-looked Prophet's Song.

Still need to read through all of these, but I need to cast a vote for Elton John's best early albums, Tumbleweed Connection and Madman Across the Water. I just got Tumbleweed on SACD and am looking forward to setting up a 5.1 system to give it a fresh listen. It's one of those rare albums that never got a lot of attention, is vaguely a "concept" album, but is just plain good.

I'd also nominate Randy Newman's "12 Songs" and "Good Old Boys"...

[stuartypoorty]

I'd also nominate Randy Newman's "12 Songs" and "Good Old Boys"...

Wouldn't argue with those choices. I'd add "Sail Away" and "Little Criminals" too.

[J English Smith]

Agreed! More excellent Randy.

I met him here in Des Moines about 2 years ago after a concert...he's great. One of my musical icons.

[stuartypoorty]

I love the way Newman finds a beautiful melody, often employs humour, adds a memorable lyric and populates his songs with bigots, miscreants and misanthropes to offset the sweetness.

Also, I think he's a true artist: always followed his own path, so many people have covered his songs and he doesn't seem to be bothered by sales figures.

Jazz was a CASSETTE I played to death. Sail Away Sweet Sister and Mustapha were two of my favorite songs at the time...hey, THEN I really knew nothing about Freddie and NOW I'm happy he always stuck with his feelings...Freddie was fun with playful ideas and his band turned them up a notch.

Some will never realize what the 1970s meant to life in general.

Queen was awesome- my first concert was seeing Queen on their Night at the Opera tour. They had Thin Lizzy open for them, had a giant crown take off the stage to open the show with smoke.
I saw their Day at the Races and Jazz tour and the Jazz concert was special.
Now a days, most artists/groups do the same song sets for every show, but not Queen! It was 12/23, Xmas was around the corner. For an encore, Santa came out with a big bag and dropped it- out of the bag came Freddy. He then sang (and encouraged the audience to sing along) Bing Crosby's classic "White Christmas". Geez, I wish there was a boot leg of that!

[EM-X90]

Rolling Stones-Exile on Main Street
Since this is a double album I will not list more as nothing else has even came close.

[Ricardus]

This is tough.... mostly because it's hard to remember them all. I saw a lot of cool stuff in the thread though. I was a little perplexed by the person who listed Gentle Giant Three Friends, though. I love giant, but I don't think they found themselves until their next record, Octopus.

Anyway, a smattering:

Gentle Giant:
Octopus
In a Glass House
The Power and the Glory
Freehand
Civilian

The Scorpions:
Taken By Force
Lovedrive
Love At First Sting

Dixie Dregs:
All of their studio albums

Steve Morse:
Stand Up
The Introduction
High Tension Wires
Coast to Coast

Billy Joel:
The Stranger

ELP:
Tarkus
Brain Salad Surgery

Allan Holdsworth:
Road Games
Metal Fatigue

10,000 Maniacs:
In My Tribe
Blind Man's Zoo

Anyway, just some stuff that popped into my head.

[bob955i]

Level 42's 'Standing in the Light' from 1983.

Don't think they ever equalled it never mind bettering it IMO.

[BigM.]

George Harrison- All Things Must Pass with 3LPs this album has some strong potential for clunkers, my parents played this non stop upon release, our love for the music never ended.

U.K.-self titled and Danger Money were two that I could listen to engaged to every tune, at least back in the day.
Rush-self titled and Farewell to Kings
ELP-Brain Salad Surgery
Banco-about everything that they recorded through the '70's
PFM-same level of respect from me
Le Orme-the list goes on

Too many albums where I like EVERY track to search out and list here.
But as for the albums where I DON'T like every track, well, that's where
the cassette and RtR decks we all know and love come shining through.

Actually, when I tape an album (LP or CD), 90% of the time, I put all the songs on,
but sometimes I omit some tracks because I don't like them or they won't fit
(usually the latter)
. . . I still have never recorded music onto a CD, though.

This used to be very much the case for me in the mid 70's. Whilst working in a HiFi shop, we once got many boxes of 5.75 inch EMI tapes cheap. So, obviously I took advantage and bought a load at trade price. However, these were 1/2 hr tapes, so as a result, all LP's I copied, had an odd track or two cut out.
Remember the copywrite laws of that time. (This was in the UK, maybe same in USA, don't know)
You may make a copy onto tape for personal use only. As long as it was not for monetary gain or public broadcast, there was no problem with copying.

Rolling Stones - Hot Rocks Volume 1

Songs like Roosevelt Hotel Blues, Blues X-man, Can't stop, Afro, Flavor, Soul Typecast, Full Grown I like too.

Saw the JSBX 3-4 times, also his earlier bands were way cool. A double bill concert with Boss Hog and Jesus Lizard was superb!
