No way! Too much filler balanced out against amazingly good songs.

I love Daydream Nation but there's several tracks on it I don't enjoy as much as the rest of the album.

Was that a stab at being controversial?

Journalist: ''What is your favourite Bob Dylan album?''

Cantanky: ''I know, nobody will agree with me on this, but Blonde On Blonde by Bob Dylan is perfect from start to finish. I know, nobody has said this before, but, you see, I am different.''

Journalist: ''Ok, I'm now off to scratch my arse.''

Cantanky: ''No, please, wait! I will explain what I meant with that, yeah?''

Torn Curtain · 03.30.2008, 10:05 AM

The Cure - Disintegration
DJ Shadow - Endtroducing
Scott Walker - Scott 4

nowideau · 03.30.2008, 10:16 AM

Miles Davis: In a Silent Way

Haha, I suppose that's cheating because the record only consists of two cuts, but what cuts they are. It's the sort of record I could happily listen to all the way through, start over and repeat the process about a dozen times.

John Coltrane: Love Supreme

Most jazz albums have tracks I would skip, but not this baby.

Sonic Youth: Murray Street (minus Plastic Sun but come on, that's one track)

Refused: The Shape of Punk to Come

augustus pablo-king tubby meets the rockers uptown

the ikara cult · 03.30.2008, 09:16 PM

there are many albums which are amazing because they have songs of varying wonderfulness, but off the top of my head the ones that are on the same level are

The Holy Bible - Manic Street Preachers
Atomiser - Big Black
Hex Enduction hour - The Fall
Kid A - Radiohead
Revolver - Beatles

i can never pick a standout on this because they are (almost) all of ABSOLUTELY EQUAL quality.

i was thinking about picking that album.

fugazifan · 03.30.2008, 11:03 PM

see as much as i love these albums that people are stating, there are still standout tracks on some of them that are simply better than the rest

on big black's atomizer, all the song s are amazing, but kerosene and passing complection, for me at lerast, are on such a different level than the rest of the album. thats not saying anything negative about the rest of the album, only ho amazing those tracks are.

and on double nickels there are a few songs that are less great
dont look now, toadies, dr wu.
not bad songs (i love dr wu) but not on the same level as the rest of the album

no, i'm not trying to be controversial. it's a fucking excellent album, not to say it's perfect.

daydream nation
dark side of the moon

^ both consistent, cohesive pieces of work

also patti smith - radio ethiopia

batreleaser · 03.30.2008, 11:47 PM

double nickels on the dime is one of my all time favorites too, and pretty much defined my 17-18 highschool days, as a stoner hippy punk, this record was perfect, combining some old classic rock that i was into'd to when i was real little by my dad with the hardcore punk that i was obsessed with (dino jr. was the other big one), but there are so many songs on there, that about half are better than the other half.

Silent Dan Speaks · 03.31.2008, 12:20 AM

The Clash-s/t. Every song absolutely rules. London Calling is also full of great songs, but some are definetly better than others.
