I've also been listening to Muse's "Absolution" too recently, and its quickly becoming one of my favourites. Other honourable mentions for me would be Green Day's American Idiot, The Jam's Setting Sons and Radiohead's "The Bends" and The Beatle's Sgt Peppers.

One of my favourite all time albums is Radiohead's OK Computer, though even I admit the "Happier, Fitter" track is absolute rubbish in my humble opinion (as well as another track, but overall the album is too strong for these to bring it down). But do I fast forward it? No, because I'm stuck on listening to an album in its entirety as the artist intended.

A great album! But if one track is "absolute rubbish", it CANNOT be on your "no filler" list, sorry :smile:

Loads of suggestions so far that I'd agree with. Mine (and it's deeply uncool, I know):
Guns-n-Roses - Appetite for Destruction
It just never eases up!

(although I think Mr Rose is a supreme to55er, and has recorded plenty of drivel)

Fairport Convention - Unhalfbricking

Joni Mitchell - Blue
If on a folk rock kick I’d also add Steeleye Span Parcel of Rogues and Now we are Six.

He doesn’t fit into this category but I do love Richard Thompson’s Electric.

Sabbath Sabotage

It's my favourite album by Sabbath. I'm not sure about Am I Going Insane, probably just nitpicking. After reading Ozzy's biography, this is an album they didn't really rate, due to them not getting on taking too much drugs etc, being out of control etc. It was their best, most metal, last decent album, the two after with Ozzy, are really poor, just in my humble opinion.

AC/DC - Highway To Hell. Not overly keen on the title track, but like the rest.
Tool - Lateralus. Nothing bad on it at all.

Appetite for destruction is a great album. Everything else they recorded, not so much.

I'll just add:

It takes a nation of million to hold us back
To bring you my love
The Contino sessions
Original pirate material

Just ordered Come Down by The Dandy Warhols. I remembered this had some great tracks, but I could not remember what the not-so-great tracks were like. They are good enough that one does not have to get up to lift the needle. That's a pretty good achievement since they stuffed 14 tracks on it.

Might have to reacquire The People Who Grinned Themselves to Death by The Housemartins. I don't think it has any bad tracks. It's just I have listened to it to death over the years.
