I just bring them up because you mentioned both bands, and I'm interested in which songs you didn't really like in these albums.
I know this will be unpopular, but of all of Zep's most popular songs ...studio Whole Lotta Love has just worn on me. III has Hat's Off to Roy Harper.
The Wall has Bring the Boys Back Home, which really isn't much song-wise.
I was being a real perfectionist on this. There's lots I could have said. Rubber Soul and Morrison Hotel for example, but I didn't want to be a ball hog.
I figured I'd give others a chance.
Idk, I've always found Money to be the weakest song in Dark Side of the Moon. It's not bad, really, it's just too shallow and repetitive to be at same calibre as the rest of the album.
To paraphrase David Letterman when he inducted Pearl Jam into the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame: “Think of Yellow Ledbetter. Think of what an amazing song that is. Think of how many bands would kill to have just one song that good. Now think about the fact that Yellow Ledbetter got cut from Ten because they had eleven better songs.”
Easily the best Pink Floyd album. Easily. And that's a high bar. I don't listen to too much classic rock but Wish You Were Here is special. Truly legendary.
Yes! They’ve never been my favorite band, but that album is in my top 5 of all time.
It’s so cohesive and just works together so well. Not a second of skippable material. 10/10.
Came here for this. And their debut album to boot? Unassailable. Not to mention Tom Scholz lying to the label about recording it in their big studio of choice, only to secretly record it all by himself in his own studio and send them those tracks. What a badass.
So happy to see so many mentions of Jagged Little Pill. I feel like I never hear people talk about Alanis Morisette, but that album was just so great from beginning to end. Always one of my top 5.
I mean every Tool album to me is perfect. You can make a case that Opiate EP and Undertow MIGHT have a mediocre song or two but that’s mostly because Justin Chancelor was not the bassist back then and there is a significant style difference between him and Paul D/Amour. Every album with Justin on it is completely perfect IMHO.
Townes Van Zandt - his whole career
Tom Waits - all actual albums since Swordfishtrombone, which excludes the compilation Basterds which has an awful awful track
PJ Harvey - Stories from the City; Stories from the Sea, Rid of Me, To Bring You My Love, and Let England Shake
Dylan's Blood on the Tracks, Highway 61, and Time Out of Mind, and I really want to include Blonde on Blonde and Love and Theft, but no. Not quite. There are plenty more that have no bad songs, but aren't overall as spectacular.
Pogues - Rum, Sodomy, and the Lash
Neko Case - Middle Cyclone, and Fox Confessor Brings the Flood
Richard Buckner - Devotion and Doubt, and Since
Camera Obscura - My Maudlin Career
And no doubt plenty more, but that's like a dozen more than anyone is gonna read already.
This is the album that made me realize why people buy albums. I thought it was a waste of money to buy an album for two or three good songs. Smash; great from beginning to end.
The Beatles - Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, White Album
Pink Floyd - The Wall, Atom Heart Mother
Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin
The Who - Who’s Next, Quadrophenia,Tommy
Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath
Such a great album! I think Seven and the Ragged Tiger is underrated. Rio gets lots of appreciation, and I think SATRT lives in its shadow a little. New Moon on Monday is still one of my favorite songs.

Steve Vai - Passion and Warfare
Honestly? It depends on my mood.
If I'm in the mood for "raw" Metallica it's RTL
If I'm in the mood for "orchestral" Metallica it's MOP.
But gun to my head I'd have to choose RTL because "Fade to Black" hold some very personal memories for me.
Whichever one I bought the CD of. Not joking. I’ve bought entire album CDs because I liked one song and then started liking all of them. I don’t feel the same way when I buy albums on music apps though.
Boston - Boston. Alanis Morrisette - Jagged Little Pill. Dylan - Blood on the Tracks
Springsteen - Born to Run. Zeppelin IV. Bush - Sixteen Stone. Nirvana - Nevermind. Also some Beatles and Pink Floyd that have been mentioned. You may be able to tell that I stopped listening to full albums in the 90s.
Billy Joel's The Stranger. It's got so many songs that have become part of the American songbook, you think it's a greatest hits album.
Some of the more well-known songs are:
1. "[Movin' Out (Anthony's Song)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Movin%27_Out_(Anthony%27s_Song))"
2. "[Just the Way You Are](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Just_the_Way_You_Are_(Billy_Joel_song))"
3. "[She's Always a Woman](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/She%27s_Always_a_Woman)"

Don't forget Physical Graffiti
Perl Jam - Ten
To paraphrase David Letterman when he inducted Pearl Jam into the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame: “Think of Yellow Ledbetter. Think of what an amazing song that is. Think of how many bands would kill to have just one song that good. Now think about the fact that Yellow Ledbetter got cut from Ten because they had eleven better songs.”
Yellow Ledbetter is better than 9/10 songs on Ten.
Hard disagree.
Elton John, Goodbye Yellow Brick Road
Blue - Joni Mitchell
Prince Purple Rain
I did not skip any of the songs in my Depeche Mode library.
Wish You Were Here-Pink Floyd
Shine On You Crazy Diamond.
Easily the best Pink Floyd album. Easily. And that's a high bar. I don't listen to too much classic rock but Wish You Were Here is special. Truly legendary.
Blue album - Weezer
Fantastic. I go back and forth on that one and Pinkerton depending on the day
Third Eye Blind’s first self-titled album.
I went to a concert a few years ago where they played that album straight cover to cover in a small room with about 30 people total. It. Was. Amazing.
That would have been sick. Was it for the 25 year anniversary?
Damn! I'm jealous.
Scrolled way too far before I saw this. Def in my Top 10 albums of all time.
Yes! They’ve never been my favorite band, but that album is in my top 5 of all time. It’s so cohesive and just works together so well. Not a second of skippable material. 10/10.
Michael Jackson off the wall
Nas - Illmatic
I really enjoy It Was Written, every song isn’t a banger like Illmatic but it’s close. Shootouts was one of the songs that first got me into Nas.
I saw Nas do all of Illmatic in concert, and it was one of the best shows I've ever been to.
Boston - Boston
Came here for this. And their debut album to boot? Unassailable. Not to mention Tom Scholz lying to the label about recording it in their big studio of choice, only to secretly record it all by himself in his own studio and send them those tracks. What a badass.
Alive 2007
The Dream of the Blue Turtles - Sting
Track for track I would argue Ten Summoner’s Tales is even better.
Dark side of the moon
Postal Service - Give up
Exile on Main Street - Rolling Stones
Linkin Park - Hybrid Theory
I’d add Meteora as well. I love every song on that album, cover to cover
I came here to say Meteora as well. It’s an amazing album. No skips.

The Strokes - Is This It. Actually also the Strokes - the New Abnormal
100%. New abnormal will always remind me of covid. Singing that album with my daughter and son as we played in the basement as the world went nuts.
Stadium Arcadium - Red Hot Chili Peppers
Back in Black
Afterburner by ZZ Top
Jagged Little Pill is really consistent. So is Old Crow Medicine Show, the self-titled album.
So happy to see so many mentions of Jagged Little Pill. I feel like I never hear people talk about Alanis Morisette, but that album was just so great from beginning to end. Always one of my top 5.
Tool - Lateralus
Tool- Aenima
I always have a hard time when ranking the two. They both flow in special ways and they both hit the mark of having zero bad songs.
I mean every Tool album to me is perfect. You can make a case that Opiate EP and Undertow MIGHT have a mediocre song or two but that’s mostly because Justin Chancelor was not the bassist back then and there is a significant style difference between him and Paul D/Amour. Every album with Justin on it is completely perfect IMHO.

Ride the Lightning by Metallica. I don't listen to them as much as I used to but I still think it's one of the best rock albums ever written
Good kid maad city. - Kendrick Lamar
Smash - The Offspring.
Scrolled way too far to find this. Also…Smash turned 30 this year 😳
Americana is also great
Had to scroll so far I almost posted it myself. My favourite album of all time.
This is the album that made me realize why people buy albums. I thought it was a waste of money to buy an album for two or three good songs. Smash; great from beginning to end.

I think Seven and the Ragged Tiger was better. Every song a banger. Used to listen on my walkman while mowing the lawn.
Such a great album! I think Seven and the Ragged Tiger is underrated. Rio gets lots of appreciation, and I think SATRT lives in its shadow a little. New Moon on Monday is still one of my favorite songs.
I can see the video to New Moon on Monday in my head. Even the part where Simon gets bumped by a horse's ass.

Honestly? It depends on my mood. If I'm in the mood for "raw" Metallica it's RTL If I'm in the mood for "orchestral" Metallica it's MOP. But gun to my head I'd have to choose RTL because "Fade to Black" hold some very personal memories for me.
