Dmada Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 Ill agree that disarm is the weak link-and the radio/video play killed it but I dont skip it Rush moving pictures comes to mindand as much as I hate to admit itNirvana nevermindTribe called quest low end theorykudos to whomever said pauls boutique (although I like Ill communication better and would add that to the list)Joe Jackson-big worldZep? its II for meFloyd? now that I think about it, they have a bunch of records that are damn close to flawlessmeddle, dark side, wish you were here, animals, the wall, the final cut-love em all start to finish funny, I dont think I saw a who record mentioned Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jff Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 kudos to whomever said pauls boutique (although I like Ill communication better and would add that to the list) Zep? its II for me I like Paul's Boutique, but I like Ill Communication and Check Your Head better. AWOL is a super weak link on Paul's Boutique. For Zep, it's Houses of the Holy for me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Stewart Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 AWOL is a super weak link on Paul's Boutique. AWOL is the victory lap of Paul's Boutique. They win at the end!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Speed Racer Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 For Zep, it's Houses of the Holy for me. Didn't really agree with Zep belonging on this list at all until I read this. Absolutely right. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Atticus Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 U2-Joshua Tree I agree with that. unforgettable fire is pretty solid as well. I forget that U2 used to be awesome, due to the fact that there is a whole generation that's been born since they had balls. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PopTodd Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 The Stone Roses - The Stone Roses Im almost there with you, except.... "Don't Stop" is a pointless waste of space on an otherwise perfect album. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tinnitus photography Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 I almost listed this but I will admit that I often skip the two Lou Barlow songs at the end. it's only one ("Poledo") and while thematically it's not a good fit, it does presage Lou's direction w/ Sebadoh and is interesting from at least a historical perspective.

Oil Can Boyd Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 it's only one ("Poledo") and while thematically it's not a good fit, it does presage Lou's direction w/ Sebadoh and is interesting from at least a historical perspective.Well it's two: "Lose" (track 8) is a Lou rocker that I don't like that much. For me it's a real drop off from the first seven songs. And I appreciate your point about "Poledo" but I can't call an album flawless if there are songs that I skip and probably half the time I listen to You're Living All Over me I skip Poledo. Another tough one for me to leave out is Husker Du's Flip Your Wig. I absolutely love that album - except for the two instrumentals at the end. They are OK but they just feel sort of tacked on.

tinnitus photography Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 my bad, i didnt' realize that 'Lose' was Lou's song. maybe an onomatopoeiac pun? i still like 'Poledo' but i can see how others wouldn't. i wonder why the Merge reissue didn't put "Show Me The Way" on it like the original SST reissue.

tinnitus photography Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 they did, and the video too. looks like Merge put on 'Keep The Glove' as a bonus track for _Bug_ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
