I just searched the thread for Wilco, and only one of their albums has been mentioned so far.
I Listened to Sky Blue Sky earlier; this is another high quality album which I reckon has nothing but great songs.

Massive love for Violator there!!!!

All absolute pure beauty but World In My Eyes is my fave.

I’m going to listen to it now!!!

Fuascailteoir

Dead Kennedy's fresh fruit for rotting vegetables. Great album for its time

Ten Summoner's Tales by Sting




Rio by Duran Duran

S.M.B.

I'm now trying to think of an example of an album that does not have a single bad track but also does not have a single great track. The most average album of all time that would technically meet the criteria to be listed here.

Rio is pop perfection. Last Chance on the Stairway is stunning.

I'm listening to it right now too on the back of this thread. I've compiled a whole list of albums I'm dying to hear now. The music forum - great bunch of lads!

Funeral by Arcade Fire would fit that perfectly. It has no stand out tracks but the album as a whole is great.

My friend in college played White Ladder every morning up loud for the whole college year. I liked the album but that's all I think of now when someone mentions it.

Every album produced by RORY GALLAGHER, Every track brilliant.

While undoubtedly that would be an indication, it should be borne in mind that this thread here is about boardsies' "albums without a single bad track on them". That for me is a more difficult prospect. In my case, most of my ten nominations for the Top 50 albums would have been different if I had to like every single track on them! EDIT: At least six of them anyway!
