I'm sure there are a couple more in there (you know, between '77 and '03 haha) but off the top of my head i know can listen to these albums all the way through and not dread a certain track... And maybe M83 - Dead Cities... but I can't remember the last couple tracks (except for "Gone," which instigates immediate pants-changing.)

I haven't heard that album in a loooong time, but in light of the acapella track, you might be pushing it. And Matos et al OTM - any album containing "Behind Blue Eyes" is not great all the way through.
Only ones I can think of right now:Randy Newman, Sail AwayJay-Z, The BlueprintPJ Harvey, DrySlits, Cut

"Radio City" is perfect, don't want to hear no quibbling about "Way Out West."
The above-mentioned "Mendocino," one of my favorite LPs of all time, is perfect, even though the recording is kinda shitty. "Riot" is perfect.
"Here, My Dear" is perfect, in my opinion.
The '68 "Gilberto Gil" album.
Regina/Jobim's "Elis & Tom."
The '73 "white album" "João Gilberto" is perfect.
"Dictionary of Soul," Otis.
"Can You Fly," Freedy Johnston (does anyone else here love this album as much as I do--I don't even *like* "singer-songwriter" albums...?)
Newman's "12 Songs."
Only two tracks, but "Jack Johnson," Davis, that's great from start-finish.
"Manfred Mann's Earth Band," 1972, the one with covers of "Captain Bobby Stout" and "Living Without You," that's totally perfect.
"Notorious Byrd Brothers," of course.
Parson's "Grievous Angel," Burrito Brothers's "Gilded Palace."

What? You don't agree? Seriously though I have trouble listing albums where every song rules because I think there are just so many of them. I guess I'm not very picky. If I already like say 50% of the album I just listen to the rest of it over and over again until I like it all. I was obv. kidding about Sandinista though.

Wow, I never would have thought of that one, but it is great. I can't think of a bad song on it.
― danh (danh), Thursday, 27 January 2005 02:17 (twenty-one years ago)
It's the best song on the whole album! it is wearing, though. I'm going to second Neutral Milk Hotel, Galaxie 500 - On Fire, and MBV - Loveless, Leonard Cohen, AND Pinback - Pinback (hell yea). Whoever said that is awesome. Some of Surfer Rosa bugs me, especially the end of the second side.
It's sad that more VU albums haven't made it, but there is definitely a clunker on each album
VU & Nico - European SonWL/WH - The GiftVU - Murder Mystery (which I do love, but it gets fucking annoying after a couple spins).Loaded - The entire album with the exception of "I Found a Reason" and "New Age"
I'm surprised that Remain in Light hasn't been nominated. I thought everyone loved that album (I can't stand the last two tracks).
