[QUOTE="bento, post: 3412455, member: 36597"] This morning's drive to work I was listening to XTC's Black Sea on tape and was amazed by all the good songs on the album. "Respectable Street", "Generals and Majors", "Towers of London" being some of the more well know songs on it. Narry a one that wasn't memorable or good. I have other albums in my music collection that I feel the same way - great from beginning to end. It's like the artists & producer carefully created the music and it's placement on the album to guarantee the greatest listening satisfaction. Some albums I think are great: * The Police - Synchronicity * Ryuichi Sakamoto - Smoochy * Led Zeppelin - Houses of the Holy * Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon * David Bowie - Heroes * REM - Reckoning Everyone of these I listen to, I rarely hit the fast forward button. But today with the way music is packaged, you rarely get to hear more that one or two songs by an artist. Everything is based on singles, and when I listen to a more contemporary artist's album, I think most of it is filler. The only great albums coming out are "best-of" where you know all the songs anyway. No "diamonds in the rough" on these. Questions for you: What albums do you consider great from start to finish? (not a "greatest hits") Do you know any artists or groups recording today that have albums that are "great" all the way through - each song is memorable and catchy, with no filler? Thanks! [/QUOTE]
