(Almost) Perfect Record Albums...

What song on it don’t you like though. This isn’t a name your favorite or best album thread

The thing with most Pink Floyd albums is not every song is supposed to be great. Some just lead to other songs and fill a gap. I get what you are saying though. I just like some of the songs that are just fillers to get to the next great song

But I guess that’s my beef with Money. The rest of the album has a certain tone and it flows from one song to the next with perfect interludes. Except for Money. It just seems to be such an outlier in tone compared the rest of the album.

Animals, for example, flows so well from song to song without any one song really standing out amongst the rest.

What song on appetite are you saying isn’t any good. I went with Think About You.

There aren’t any…i truly love them all.

Well the thread isn’t about that. So I was just asking

OK your right - but "perfection" does not exist but this one scores an A+, I linke them all.

If you consider Dark Side as a concept album it’s easier to accept the difference in Money simply because it was a song Waters wrote as a kid…so it has some autobiographical context for its inclusion on the record. In a sense it’s supposed to be different, as a stop along the journey. The cohesion you hear on Animals exists because Waters modified the songs You’ve Got to Be Crazy into Dogs and Raving And Drooling into Sheep to go with Pigs and Pigs on the Wing alluding to an Orwellian Animal Farm theme. PF had been performing the aforementioned songs live all the way back to at least ‘74, by ‘77 they’d perfected them.

A great from my collection that I forgot to mention. Very short album, but it is excellent...

OK,..."Third Stone from the Sun" became the blueprint for the Allman Bros, and every other jam band since 1967.

Is that a bad thing?

I think Jimi has better examples. I prefer Electric Ladyland's sequence of Rainy Day, Dream Away, 1983, Still Raining, Still Dreaming.

But is 30 minutes an album or an EP? Maybe it is a perfect album that had the clunker culled before pressing?

I'll take another swing. Who's Next was the near perfect album, but for Getting in Tune.

Maybe Love Ain't For Keeping on that one for me, but I agree, near perfect.

Led 2&4. Soundgarden Badmotorfinger is one I listen to the whole album too.

 

[Angie]

Maybe Love Ain't For Keeping on that one for me, but I agree, near perfect.

Mine is “My Wife” - great song, just doesn’t fit the rest of the tone.

Agree with this. I actually hate the song anyway AND it makes zero sense on the album. It seems like somebody at the record company heard DSotM and said “this concept album is way too weird. Jam a hit that can get some radio play or we aren’t putting out the album.”

Mine is “My Wife” - great song, just doesn’t fit the rest of the tone.

Agreed but it’s one of my favorite WHO tunes so it gets a pass from me…and it’s Ox’s tune, which makes me love it even more.

 

[Turn2]

That tracks, since it's the album's Entwistle tune.

 

[Angie]

Totally. And I wish we had more of him - but yep, maybe just in a different album? But Who’s Next is a masterpiece.
