[Music] The Most Complete Album

[whitelion]

Terrible cliché but you can't really avoid The Dark Side of the Moon. Starts with Birth, ends with Death with an almost seamless transition between the songs.

Personally I don't like Money but Us and Them is sublime...

I bought all the PF albums as they came out Echoes was sublime Live at Pompeii amazing. Just looking back on those days it's hard to imagine how consistently good the music was despite or inspite of the drug culture.

 

[Mellotron]

The Beatles - Revolver
Death Cab For Cutie - Plans
Interpol - Turn On The Bright Lights
Rage Against The Machine - Rage Against The Machine
David Bowie - Low

Not sure that the remaining members of Pink Floyd were all that enthusiastic about drug use given what it did to Syd Barrett...

David Bowie - Low

Absolutely his finest hour although it could be described as a Brian Eno / David Bowie Album.

Dire Straits Making' Movies

There's no survivors

 

[Napier]

Janice Ian - Between the Lines.

 

[Brightonfan1983]

There's usually one or two duff tracks on every album but I can think of many where every one's a gem...

Ring - The Connells

This album got me into 'college rock', if that's a thing. Which eventually led me to The Fountains of Wayne's "Welcome Interstate Managers" which is great, start to finish.

The longest album to date in this list given a double plus a 7" inch.

I'll give you that. Have you listened to Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever yet? Right up your street - like The Go-Betweens mixed with The Blue Aeroplanes. I'd start with French Press.
