eh, if I can prevent one person from starting a new thread on ilm...

first album that always comes to mind is Nick Lowe's Pure Pop For Now People

Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness

i did the thread link thing for years. i'm retired.

36 chambers

linking old threads isn't (necessarily) a rebuke -- after all, pretty much everything's been said by now even if it's not searchable

it's cool to see where we've been/what ppl have said before

June Christy and Peggy Lee - The Capitol Transcription Sessions

^^^ Mr. Snrub otm. That's A+ stuff.

Granted there are only two songs on that one.

Nick Drake - Five Leaves Left (I'm sure Drake fans will all argue over which of his studio albums is the one that is flawless - this is mine)

The Dreaming

sandie shaw -- reviewing the situation
x-ray spex -- germfree adolescents
sly -- there's a riot going on

sly -- there's a riot going on

I was gonna say this too but I was afraid of getting mocked!

Broken Social Scene - You forgot it in people

Arcade Fire - Funeral

(ducks)

to the nameless dead still the best record in this thread

Fiery Furnaces - Bitter Tea

(ducks again)

(I'm actually serious I'm listening to it right now and it sounds perfect but it's 3am)

Oh I got another one:

The Books - Lost and Safe

Panda Bear - Person Pitch

(Should I keep ducking?)

I guess Fiery Furnaces qualifies, in that all the songs are duds.

Haha I can't explain why I love them so much nowadays, whenI used to hate them with passion. You can blame Matthew Perpetua. I remember giving them a chance because he was always raving about them. I think the first song that hooked me was "Waiting to know you" reminded me strongly of another song from the 60's I love: Irma Thomas "anyone who knows what love is.

I love her voice but I know the quirkyness in the lyrics and the music is too much to handle most of the time. If it helps, they keep bouncing between endearing and embarassing for me.

Panda Bear - Person Pitch

OTM (x2)

Van Morrison - Moondance

No way, but Astral Weeks fits.

No way, but Astral Weeks fits

nah, Beside You fucks the vibe up track two. Moondance is perfect all the way through. Forget how many times you heard the song Moondance on the radio, that thing was magic once upon a time. It still is. The album is as good as it gets.

close to the edge

Stone Roses s/t

The Very Best Of Des O'Connor

The Beatles - Abbey Road

Abbey Road features a dud medley instead.

The Beatles - Revolver and Stevie Wonder - Innervisions are my go-tos for this. checked out all these threads and agreed with many of the selections. I realized The Spinners - Mighty Love fits the bill for me too. also just remembered The Meters - Rejuvenation is another love 'em all.

revolver and hard day's night are the only beatles albums that fit this category for me. maybe past masters vol. 1, but the german-language songs are a bit distracting.

Wire's 154 is the only one of their opening salvo filled with junk

junk in the good or bad way?

do you mean "The Other Window"? Gilbert's probably my fave lyricist/vocalist of them lot. in a way it's the first taster of Dome. better lyrics than "The Gift" anyway. deliciously dark/morbid wit ~ Robert Holmes and Hinchcliffe (and Saward) woulda loved it.
Rolling Stone: Wire, Get Out Of Marienbad

"The 15th" has junk lyrics of the best kind.
