— CAC A slight detour away from the Caining.
Recently I've had the pleasure of hearing Foster the People's Torches, and came to the realization it is the first album I have heard every single track without skipping over in years (the last being Beck's Odelay)
A sampling below.
What are some albums where every single track is worth listening to?
Harder to think about than it may seem.
Oh and yeah, Open Thread.

Classic: Wish You Were Here, Pink Floyd.
Dark side has those weird stereo experimentation tracks that don't hold up, but Wish You Were Here, at only five tracks, is perfection, assuming you're in a mood for really long opening and closing tracks.
More Recent: Evil Urges, My Morning Jacket
Wide variety, not one turd in the group.

See I think Animals is Floyd's best- 3 long songs endcapped by a 3 minute song split in half, with perfectly dark lyrics and sound. Though everything they churned from 1971 to 1980 was good.

For instance, I love Dylan's Blood on the Tracks, but hate Idiot Wind. The Police were known for ruining a great album by letting one crap song on. I guess that often happens with bands -- some member needs to get creative and screw up the sound of the gorup.
Joni Mitchell's Blue album probably makes the cut. I can't think of a bad cut on Elvis Costello's My Aim is True. Also, Delbert McClinton's Room to Breathe is wonderful from beginning to end.

XTC is one of the most intelligent bands of that era. Also the Stranglers which is the punk answer to the Doors.
Posted by: J.J. Sefton at November 08, 2011 06:27 PM (UlUS4)
Skylarking was one of those albums where there were stories of conflict between the band or the band and the producers that seemed to make everyone strive to really give things their best, probably out of spite. Another that comes to mind is Fleetwood Mac's Rumours.
As far as a Group or artist that have put out multiple albums that engage me on every track Steely Dan is at the top of the list. Depending on the level of your jazz listening chops, your mind's musical taste buds may find SD too complex or too simple. For me Fagan and Becker hit the sweet spot.

Bruce Springsteen's Born to Run. I know he's become an annoying lefty over the years, but in 1975 or whenever it came out, that album was groundbreaking and like absolutely nothing else out there.
I seem to remember a Jackson Browne live album, a Journey album, a Styx album and a Bob Segar album with a light blue cover and white horses running across it that were all really good. I have a sister who is 7 years older than me who was a teenager in the late 70's and seem to remember her having some good stuff that I listened to over and over on her "hi fi" wearing 40# headphones.
For those with chilluns, Taylor Swift puts out some pretty good stuff. My daughter has received all of her CDs as bday and Xmas gifts and they're full of cute, clever little songs without any of the nastiness so prevelant in today's pop music. Go ahead and flame me, but I 100% agree with Ace on his assessment of pop stars like Katy Perry. Their stuff is just nasty. You try explaining "menege a trois" to a 10 year old who heard "Last Friday Night" and thinks it's the greatest song ever.
Oh and one of Allison Krauss's first CDs.
OK so I suck at names.
Posted by: the other coyote at November 08, 2011 02:43 PM (yK44T)
Passion was a good soundtrack, whatever you think of the movie.
The Power of One is also an excellent soundtrack all the way through (although the Teddy Pendergrast --R.I.P.-- pop song is a bit of an interruption of the flow of the Hans Zimmer music)

I've always thought the Stones really got by by putting out albums with one or two really huge hits with the rest of the album as just filler.
At least with The Beatles they tried to mix it up and experiment from time to time, and the results were that most tracks were more than just listenable but were memorable in themselves, with the exception of the excrable throw-away crap like Revolution 9 or Why Don't We Do It in the Road.

Shark Fighter is amazing but Vs The Floating Eye of Death is better overall even if it has a few clunkers
The Legend is True has a great guitar riff, too, but Charge is probably my favorite overall Aquabats album. They have an unfortunate tendency to veer off into almost novelty songs at least once or twice an album.
Pink Pants is the only one I don't like from Hi-Five Soup, though.

From Wikipedia:
Zen Arcade tells the story of a young man who runs away to escape a miserable and abusive home life ("Broken Home, Broken Heart," "Never Talking to You Again"). The character briefly joins the military ("Chartered Trips"), turns to religion ("Hare Krsna"), and seems to find a tenuous peace through love ("Somewhere") before losing his girlfriend to drugs ("Pink Turns to Blue").[7] He reaches a point of despair, ultimately concluding that he won't be able to change his circumstances ("Newest Industry", "Whatever") before waking up to find that the whole odyssey had occurred in his subconscious during a night of troubled sleep; the challenges of his life—for better or for worse—remain in front of him. ("The Tooth Fairy and the Princess," "Turn on the News.") "Reoccurring Dreams", a disorienting 14-minute instrumental that reprises a shorter instrumental interlude ("Dreams Reoccurring"), closes the album, and seems to raise the question of whether the distinction between what's dreamt and what's lived is of particular importance

I think Neil Diamond is like Roy Orbison. He's supposedly "important" to music, so they pull more cred on their own talents as performers than they warrant (imho). Didn't they both produce and/or write songs?
I guess the equivalent from my era would be Nick Lowe. "I love the sound of breaking glass" was a classic, but the rest of his stuff... meh.

My tastes run a little more towards what my musician brother calls "exhibition of virtuoso", so Rap (as a genre) tended to be a little spare for me. I'm embarrassed to say that I can't remember my favorite at the time, though -- it was a Hispanic Rap Group, which lent a little different vibe to the music.
Crap, now I gotta go hunt it down.

Most of the songs are just above average, but the album hangs together all the way through.

Klaatu - Hope
Emmy Lou Harris, Linda Rondstat and Dolly Parton - Trio
Peter Gabriel - So
ELP - Everything
Yes - Fragile, Close to the Edge, and 90125
Beatles - Sgt. Pepper's, Abbey Road, really pretty much everything
Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon
Lyle Lovett's Large Band
A live James Cotton album with a killer horn section whose name escapes me, could be something like Live Cotton.
And in related news, me and a loose conglomeration of friends are opening up for Tinsley Ellis tomorrow night. Should be fun. Never heard him live before, but he's a guitar monster amonsgt blues fans. Playing percussion and probably swapping off on bass for a couple of tunes.

I love the visuals in Delbert McClinton's songs.
The Rub has a lot of great lines:
Hey there's a pitchfork sticking through the roof of the car
And both the headlights are busted out.
" These people say they saw you runnin' away."
He said, "Hell, I was just going for help."....
A singer/songwriter/massage therapist friend of mine
said y'all might be needin' a little help.
Now I'll drive your truck but I don't lift nothin'
and I room all by myself!....
I hope somebody's writin' this down.
Let's get our story straight, boys, 'fore we get back to town.
Now all y'all witnessed what I said he done.
I hope he makes bail. I love it when they run.
Another great song from that album is Lone Star Blues:
Got a friend there turning knobs
At a place called Billy Bob's
He said he could get me a job there
Workin' as a bouncer
First night on the job was just insane
Some ol' boy got all deranged
Hit me in the head with a Harley chain
To this day my ears still ring

Totally agree. Just goes to show you Tupac can make anything suck. A Tribe Called Quest - Low End Theory is also one of the best albums of that genre. Tribe really didn't put out a bad record, actually. If you've never listened to the first Pharcyde record, you should. It's a contender for my favorite hip-hop album.

"Viva Terlingua!" Jerry Jeff Walker
"Dookie" Green Day
MTV Unplugged in New York: Nirvana
"The Mountain" Steve Earle & The Del McCoury Band
"A Farewell To Kings" & "Hemispheres" by Rush
Not including Pink Floyd because in high school I once ate a LOT of shrooms and peyote while my parents were out of town and listened to "The Wall" over and over and over and over.
Ever since then I totally understand what all of their lyrics mean and, to tell the truth, Pink Floyd sucks. Instead of going to therapy to work through their childhood issues, Pink Floyd released 14 albums and embarked on numerous world tours so that millions of teenagers would pay THEM millions to listen to them bitch and whine about their childhoods. They're some devious sick twisted fucks y'all.

The lyrics to GWAR's "Penguin Attack" remind me of OWS:
THEY ATTACK / THEY ATTACK
They are on a rampage / Unleashed from ancient time
Stumbling from the ice age / Marching side by side
Beaks of steel are flaming / Women are enraged
Sky of death is flaming / Women get engaged
Slashing at the ramparts / Hurling ton's of shot
Shopping now at Wal Mart / Smoking tons of pot
They are on a rampage / They were first to fight
They would write a new page / If they could only write
It's a penguin attack / So get back
They attack.
Rumbling from the ice age / They were last in line
They would start a new age / If they could just take time

Well, I feel
Like I have to feel
Something good all of the time
With most of life I cannot deal
But a good feeling I can feel
Even though it may not be real
And if a person, place or thing can deliver
I will quiver with delight
But will it last me for all my life
Or just one more lonely night
The lust, the flesh
The eyes
And the pride of life
Drain the life
Right out of me
Well, I see something and I want it
Bam! Right now!
No questions asked
Don't worry how much it costs me now or later
I want it and I want it fast
I'll go to any length
Sacrifice all that I already have
And all that I might get
Just to get
Something more that I don't need
And Lord, please don't ask me what for
The lust, the flesh
The eyes
And the pride of life
Drain the life
Right out of me
And I love when folks
Look right at me
And what I'm doing
Or have done
And lay it on about
How groovy I am
And that I'm looking grand
And every single word
Makes me think I'll live forever
Never knowing that they probably
Won't remember what they said tomorrow
Tomorrow I could be dead
The lust, the flesh
The eyes
And the pride of life
Drain the life
Right out of me
"The Lust, the Flesh and the Pride of Life" - 77's.

"Oh, father of the four winds, fill my sails, across the sea of years
With no provision but an open face, along the straits of fear "
In fact.
Oh let the sun beat down upon my face, stars to fill my dream
I am a traveler of both time and space, to be where I have been
To sit with elders of the gentle race, this world has seldom seen
They talk of days for which they sit and wait and all will be revealed
Talk and song from tongues of lilting grace, whose sounds caress my ear
But not a word I heard could I relate, the story was quite clear
Oh, oh.
Oh, I been flying... mama, there ain't no denyin'
I've been flying, ain't no denyin', no denyin'
All I see turns to brown, as the sun burns the ground
And my eyes fill with sand, as I scan this wasted land
Trying to find, trying to find where I've been.
Oh, pilot of the storm who leaves no trace, like thoughts inside a dream
Heed the path that led me to that place, yellow desert stream
My Shangri-La beneath the summer moon, I will return again
Sure as the dust that floats high in June, when movin' through Kashmir.
Oh, father of the four winds, fill my sails, across the sea of years
With no provision but an open face, along the straits of fear
Ohh.
When I'm on, when I'm on my way, yeah
When I see, when I see the way, you stay-yeah
Ooh, yeah-yeah, ooh, yeah-yeah, when I'm down...
Ooh, yeah-yeah, ooh, yeah-yeah, well I'm down, so down

If you like Foster the People, try MGMT.
FTP was accused of doing MGMT, but I think FTP is a bit funkier.
Try Fountains of Wayne too. Great stuff.
As mentioned, XTC is (was) fantastic.
EVERYBODY should pick up the SMiLE Sessions from the Beach Boys (just out) the album that was never released and lead to Brian Wilson's meltdown. Would it have beat out Sgt. Pepper's? Maybe. Absolutely brilliant.
I was a huge Yes fan, but wouldn't recommend them or any of the prog rockers when we're talking FTP. That includes Porcupine Tree. Good for me though.
Bands I saw this summer:
Moody Blues
Brian Wilson
Devo
Tears for Fears
Psychedelic Furs/Tom Tom Club

Can't believe nobody's seconded Captain Beyond. Earlyish (1970?) metal that holds up very well.
Lots of Costello mentioned, but not my fave of all his albums (including My Aim is True): Get Happy (1980). About 40 2 or 3 minute tunes in which he lets his soul/rocker side out from beginning to end.

MGMT is very similar to Foster the People. Both of them are artists where my knee-jerk reaction was "this sucks", but after the desire to shun new things passed I went out and picked up the albums.

I'm more partial to Hollywood Town Hall and Sound of Lies, although, TTGG has grown on me.
Just a few additions and confirmations.
Revolver and Rubber Soul are among my favorite albums of all time. Revolver is close to perfect. However, it would be even better if record companies in that era didn't keep hit singles off albums. Add the Paperback Writer/Rain single in place of Harrison's "Love You To" and Lennon's "Dr. Robert", and an album that is often cited as the GOAT gets even better.

'Tis OK, Joe- I have well-worn copies of everything from "Elton John" to "Blue Moves". When he stopped collaborating with Bernie Taupin, Paul Buckmaster and Gus Dudgeon (all at the time of "A Single Man") the sound just wasn't as good. The quality did get better on later albums, but the sound still lacked the depth that, say, 11/17/70 had. His music finally started to have that familiar quality again on "Made In England".

124 Rockpile.
Their only album from 1980.
Dave Edmunds and Nick Lowe. 'nuff said.
Posted by: J.J. Sefton at November 08, 2011 06:37 PM (UlUS4)
I prefer the and Edmunds and Lowe "solo" albums recorded by Rockpile to Seconds Of Pleasure, which is the LP you are referring to. Lowe's Labour Of Lust and Edmunds's Repeat When Necessary are both strong beginning to end (although each contain one weak link, IMO), whereas Seconds... is spotty despite its moments of brilliance.

What an era of innocence it was, and how much gratitude I feel for having grown and come of age during it. Took many years to realize that.
So I suppose it would be fitting to spend another couple hours in nostalgia land.

That portion of the 70s when Alice Cooper was great:
Billion Dollar Babies
Welcomes to My Nightmare
Goes To Hell.
The latter two especially since they had a bit of a storyline. The first is a great album because the set of songs was really put together with a concert in mind.
Blue Oyster Cult (except I came to hate 'Don't Fear the Reaper before I got to know any of their other stuff. Sometimes a good song is just played to death.)
Agents of Fortune
Fire of Unknown Origin
They Might Be Giants
Flood
Apollo 18
Sparks
Tips For Teens
Whomp That Sucker!
Mott the Hoople
Mott
Their only really strong album. Everything else was a bit hit and miss. A lot of song were reworked to be much better during Ian Hunter's solo career. Which leads to:
Ian Hunter
Welcome to the Club.
Almost the perfect live album, except for the odd inclusion of a single studio track, 'We Gotta Get Out of Here.' (With Ellen Folely for the Meat Loaf fans.)
Any number of soundtracks, especially if an actual musical rather a movie with songs in it:
Phantom of the Paradise
Rocky Horror (Listen to stage and film versions back to back to not the differences.)
A lot of greatest hits collections are the only way I found some artists worthwhile but with repeated listening come to sound like a remarkably strong album.
Boomtown Rats
Siouxsie and the Banshees
Squeeze
Sweet
Split Enz
Blondie
Soul Asylum's Grave Dancer's Union SEEMS like a greatest hits collection because they never came close before or after to that album's quality.
Several others come to mind that have already had a dozen mentions above. A few dozen more don't come to mind but I'd have to go looking at the archives.

Yep - for my money, this album from start to finish represents the very best they had to offer. Plus, the opener Sunhair is my all-time favorite from them.

Interesting to see the mention of Fagan's "The Nightfly." I thought I'd have to mention it, seeing it's the source of my SN.
This list is ginormous. No way to scroll through to avoid duplicates, so I'll just mention a few favorites:
Yes: The Yes Album, Fragile, Close to the Edge
Yoko Kanno: the Cowboy Bebop soundtracks
Beatles: Revolver, Rubber Soul, Magical Mystery Tour (my folks had the original LP with the fold-out booklet. Very cool. We're having a lovely time!)
Pink Floyd: Wish You Were Here (probably listed a hundred times)
John Williams soundtracks to Star Wars, Empire Strikes Back, and Raiders of the Lost Ark
Mary Poppins (first album I ever owned)
Billy Joel: Songs in the Attic, 52nd Street, the Nylon Curtain
April Smith and the Great Picture Show: Songs for a Sinking Ship
Kaiser Chiefs: Off With Their Heads
Franz Ferdinand (I have the edition with the five-song EP included. "Van Tango" is such a fun song.)
Most of the stuff I own is compilations or soundtracks to favorite movies and shows, so I'm not a big album owner. I'd love to take time to go through the list here and check out other selections. I've found very good albums that way. A friend of mine suggested Nujabes, a Japanese DJ who specialized in mellow beats, and it's fascinating stuff. You never know what you'll get trying something new.

Someone listed The Corssing by Big Country, which is a great album, but their follow up effort -- Steeltown -- is even better in my book.

--The problem with putting new music here is that they literally have not passed the test of time. When I would buy a new album back in the day, I would invariably listen all the way through, especially if I anticipated a few good songs already. However, years on, I look at a lot of them and shrug and would probably only bother with a couple of tracks now.
