Albums where you think EVERY song is a good one.

[Papa Deuce]

I'll start with a lay up....... Thriller by Michael Jackson.... ( I have a list of about 10 - 12 )

[Pauly]

If I could only have one album with me on a desert island, this would be the one:

Custard Pie
The Rover
In My Time of Dying
Houses of the Holy
Trampled Under Foot
Kashmir
In the Light
Bron-Yr-Aur
Down by the Seaside
Ten Years Gone
Night Flight
The Wanton Song
Boogie With Stu
Black Country Woman
Sick Again

Sure there are a couple of duds in there (to me, Down by the Seaside and Black Country Woman) but they are passable and the rest is genius.

Oh yeah, that's Led Zep - Physical Graffiti

Rust Never Sleeps

[nullnor]

Jethro Tull Aqualung

I thought this song was about bums attacking little girls. and then because I love tull I looked it up more and finally realized, it's probably about polio.

[Papa Deuce]

OK, most of you won't know this one, but my kids LOVE this guy, and actually, my whole family does..... Olly Murrs... He has a new album coming out in 2 weeks but my kids know where online to listen to the whole CD..... And I am in the opposite chair when they play it.... It's all good, and all clean music.

Also, both Bruno Mars albums, though admittedly there are a couple of songs that are not near the same as the rest of them.

The Beatles - Abbey Road
Billy Joel - 52nd Street
Boston - Boston
Bruce Springsteen - Born to Run
INXS - Kick
Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin II & Led Zeppelin IV
Meat Loaf - Bat out of Hell

FYI from Song Facts:

This song deals with our reaction to the homeless population. Jethro Tull vocalist and flute player Ian Anderson wrote the song and called it "a guilt-ridden song of confusion about how you deal with beggars, the homeless." Elaborating in the 40th anniversary reissue of the album, he said, "It's about our reaction, of guilt, distaste, awkwardness and confusion, all these things that we feel when we're confronted with the reality of the homeless. You see someone who's clearly in desperate need of some help, whether it's a few coins or the contents of your wallet, and you blank them out. The more you live in that business-driven, commercially-driven lifestyle, you can just cease to see them.
In this song, Aqualung is a homeless man with poor hygiene. Ian Anderson wrote it about a character he made up based on actual photographs of transient men. Ian's wife at the time, Jennie, was an amateur photographer and had brought the pictures for Ian to look at. Many of the lyrics are Ian describing the men in the pictures.

Jennie also wrote a few lyrics to go with the pictures, which earned her a songwriting credit, so she receives half the royalties from the song. She and Anderson divorced in 1974.

An "Aqualung" is a portable breathing apparatus for divers. Anderson envisioned the homeless man getting that nickname because of breathing problems. He got the idea from watching a TV show called Sea Hunt, where there was a lot of heavy underwater breathing, and where the main character wore an Aqualung. What Anderson didn't know is that Aqualung was a brand name, and the Aqualung Corporation of North America took legal action after the album came out. The case was eventually dropped, but the threat of a lawsuit was troubling to Anderson.
