so, what are your favourite records ? i mean from the point of a record as a whole thing, not just because there good songs on it you like. records, where the overall impression is not "collection of damn' good songs", but where your first thought is "woah, now this is a good record where everything fits together". there don't even have to be really spectacular songs on it, but where the sum of the songs is ways more than the collection of the songs. where it doesn't make sense to interrupt listening.
i would go for
dinosaur jr. - green mind
the cure - boys don't cry
pink floyd - animals
no FB in it. but frank black & the catholics-self titled would be closest.

XTC's "Skylarking" is definitely my favorite, and really works as an album, too.

The only thing that sounds remotely out of place on "Gish" is D'Arcy's vocals to "Daydream," although I like the song. It just doesn't fit in with the sound of the rest of the album.

That is a very satifying full-on shred-rock album. My brother had it on recently while doing some plastering!

I was gonna say Purple Rain, then I considered Sign like someone said, but I'm gonna stay with PR- it really is one complete record that fits just right.
Someone who has made some really strong albums, that I would put in that same catagory is Madonna- there's Madonna, Like A Prayer, & Bedtime Stories.
Another album which, though it has a lot of songs that aren't my favorites, the overall feeling is good, is Elvis Costello's Get Happy.

Metallica's Master Of Puppets is a total rock classic. Ride The Lightening and ...And Justice For All too, but MOP just has that edge. It's funny when you get a band like Metallica, at least in their earlier days, they create this standard that leaves a gap between them and so many sub-standard metal bands with filler-heavy albums.

I agree, though Sign O'the Times tops that IMO

I typed out a reply to this yesterday, but it disappeared. Basically, it went along the lines of SotT having a few duff songs while Around the World in a Day was pretty much perfect.
I kind of lost Prince after 1993 or something and never picked him up again.
Pain is temporary, quitting is forever.

Heh. I've loved The Beautiful South since I was about 8 years old. I sort of grew out of them for a bit and now I love 'em again! Their recent stuff is a bit shite though.

Thanks, I d'led Takk to check out but completely forgot about it. Other than Doves, good list.

I'd go for:
(What's the Story) Morning Glory? - Oasis
Blue Is The Colour - The Beautiful South
Bossanova - Pixies
Doves 'Lost Souls' is a very good album too.
I'd like to think that FB&TC's self-titled is one but I always end up skipping at least one. Usually Steak n Sabre or Solid Gold.
