What is the most front-loaded album of all time?

the white album then.

Nevermind

Brick is Red, I'm Amazed, & Oh My Golly are all gems (demo vers. of Amazed is better)

Serious answer: Van Morrison, Blowin Your Mind

Also maybe Marquee Moon & the first Roxy Music album (<tho I love this all the way thru)

'Genesis'

Jesus Jones, Doubt

Robert Palmer, Sneakin' Sally through the Alley

Not feeling Key Lime Pie at all. I thought just about everyone loved "All Her Favourite Fruit" and yeah, "June" is great. "Come On Darkness" is an excellent closer, etc...

Two I remember from childhood also had the singles stacked onto side one. The non-singles, while never awful, were quite unmemorable:

Pet Shop Boys - Please
Crowded House - Crowded House (though strong through to the first track on the second side)

I'd say "Woodface" is more obviously frontloaded than "Crowded House".

Possibly. Although "Chocolate Cake" seems an increasingly goofy opener with the passage of time, diminishing the effect on WF.

the Electrik Red album, much as I love it, is kinda frontloaded -- i listened to it on shuffle so often that it took me a while to realize that my 5 favorite songs are tracks 1-5.

Ted Leo has a tendency to frontload his albums, the best stuff is almost always in the first five tracks

i feel like the '90s was the peak of deliberate label-mandated frontloading -- so many albums where the first single is track 1, second single is track 2, third single is track 3, etc. (Soul Asylum's Grave Dancers Union comes to mind)

Most They Might Be Giants albums

Probably lots of 60's Motown albums.
