Albums with no fillers whatsoever (or at least that what you think)

Curtis Mayfield - Superfly

A much more interesting question would be long/double+ albums with no filler whatsoever imo.

None exists.

Was briefly addressed upthread.

Sign 'o' The Times comes closest.

Most of my picks have been ten tracks or fewer. Quality control is very important.

Whiney OTM upthread. I can't seem to find any filler on "Skylarking". Also not on "Odessey & Oracle".

Orbital - Brown, Snivilization, In Sides, The Middle of Nowhere

"In Sides" comes close. The others have plenty of filler. The brown one I tend to skip the beginning and start with "Lush".

Tim Hardin 2

MBV - Loveless
Aphex Twin - Richard D. James Album
Flaming Lips - Soft Bulletin

usually applies for most concept albums, I think. Disregarding interludes.

"MBV - Loveless"

Touched?

I was playing "High land hard rain" Aztec Camera, and hmmm... Just about qualifies.

Selected Ambient Works Vol.II.
Unknown Pleasures and Closer

JD are a no filler band on studio releases imo.

Ice T - "Power" and "The Iceberg/Freedom of Speech... Just Watch What You Say"

sly & the family stone -- stand!
van morrison -- astral weeks ('the way young lovers do' is different from the other tracks, but i could never think of it as 'filler')
sleater-kinney -- one beat
miles davis -- in a silent way
dylan -- blood on the tracks

dylan -- blood on the tracks

I always skip "Meet Me In The Morning".

I'll add 10,000 Maniacs, In My Tribe.

Discussing Blur - don't think there's any filler on Parklife. Sure, you've got cheeky interludes, but these are much loved. Think only London Loves comes close to being a bit dull, but it's certainly not a bad song.

Smashing Pumpkins - Mellon Collie

Now is this a double album with no filler? I generally listen to it in whole sides and don't skip songs very often. I even like all the daft nursery rhyme music on the last side.

Kate Bush - Hounds of Love
Van Morrison - Astral Weeks
Spiritualized - LAGWAFIS (fire away!)

I'm trying to think of bad tracks on Music For A Jilted Generation.

second punk track on Parklife is filler imo.

Spiritualized - LAGWAFIS (fire away!)

fire away? i think a lot of ppl here would agree with you—myself included

Pillbox - do you mean Bank Holiday or Jubilee?

I'm Wide Awake It's Morning. Even the spoken word bit feels essential.

"Spiritualized - LAGWAFIS (fire away!)

fire away? i think a lot of ppl here would agree with you—myself included

That's good to know. For some reason I have the impression that a lot of people think this album is a bit too much. But maybe that's really related to what came after the record..

Jubilee - xp to dl

I take it back, tho, b/c my addled memory had swapped it for, I believe, one of the punk tunes on MLIR. I actually like Jubilee & basically agree that all the 'lesser' tracks on Parklife serve a valuable structural purpose.

But maybe that's really related to what came after the record..

my favorite Spz album is actually Let It Come Down—probably in the minority on that one, though!

Jason Collett - Idols of Exile

Meat Puppets - Up On The Sun
(It's almost perfectly sequenced, too.)

Nick Drake - Pink Moon

aaliyah s/t

silver jews - the natural bridge
