Agree with this 100%. Every REM album has a few "skips." Every Beatles album has skips, too, IMO. I doubt I could come up with ten albums in the history of rock music that don't have at least one "meh" track amongst the jewels. That might be a fun Sports Bar experiment some time - how many classic albums could we all agree are 100% drek-free? Not many, I'll wager."When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, "it means just what I choose it to mean - neither more nor less."

The first thing that I thought of when you said "drek-free" is Beastie Boys "License to Ill".Originally posted by senorsheep View PostComment

I love Paul's Boutique too.
License to Ill is just one of those "Right place, right time" albums for me. It was the first time I'd ever heard anything like it and I was hooked.
Still, I'm surprised by how well it's stood up for me. Maybe because I don't like what Hip Hop has evolved into so for me that is the sound of hip hop.
If I had to pick a flaw on it I guess I'd say Girls. The melody is infectious, but to say it's a little misogynistic would be like saying the KKK is a little racist.Comment

Dark Side Of The Moon immediately comes to mind. London Calling, arguably. Urban Hymns by The Verve, but that's more about my personal taste, and I doubt I could convince any room full of people to agree with me. After that, I'd have to think really hard.Originally posted by eldiablo505"When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, "it means just what I choose it to mean - neither more nor less."

Appetite for Destruction, Dark Side of the Moon and Wish You Were Here, if you want to count them since they have so few songs. Piano Man. The Stranger. Probably Born in the USA. Darkness. American Idiot. I can't even say Ten because Evenflow is so overplayed it makes me angry to hear it.Originally posted by eldiablo505Comment

I agree with you, sheep. I wasn't including only rock albums, or I would agree that ten might be too high.Originally posted by senorsheep View PostComment

Here are a few I'd argue but I doubt anyone would agree.
Dave Brubeck - Time Out
Velvet Underground & Nico
Van Morrison - Moondance
Toots & the Maytalls - Funky Kingston
Bruce Springsteen - Born to Run
Fleetwood Mac - Rumours
Neutral Milk Hotel - In the Aeroplane Over the Sea
I could also rattle off a bunch of Miles Davis and Fela Kuti albums because they only have 2 songs a piece.If DMT didn't exist we would have to invent it. There has to be a weirdest thing. Once we have the concept weird, there has to be a weirdest thing. And DMT is simply it.

Sgt Pepper's is pretty damned flawless, but you'd probably have a tough time getting people to unanimously call it such due to the inevitable "Sitar or no Sitar" debate.Comment

7 Chinese Brothers would have been the smart pick for me last round, if I wasn't so obsessed with OOT. I also like Reckoning a lot.Comment

Replace whatever you consider the weakest tracks with the singles that ended up on Magical Mystery Tour, and you have a perfect Pepper!Originally posted by DMT View Post"When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, "it means just what I choose it to mean - neither more nor less."
