All killer no filler LPs

[Yellow Fang]

I know we've done this sort of thing before, but can we do it again. Which are the best, good-all-the-way-through, LPs? I'm not talking about something with four great tracks, but eight duff ones. I am talking about ones you don't have to get up to move the needle on.

The best records I have in that regard are:

• Odelay - Beck
• Ziggy Stardust and The Rise and Fall of the Spiders from Mars - David Bowie
• Hull 4, London 0 - The Housemartins
• Doolittle - The Pixies
• Surfer Rosa - The Pixies
• Songs from the Organ - The Singing Loins
• The Monks Kitchen - The Monks Kitchen
• The War of the Worlds - Jeff Wayne
• Just Can't Stop It - The Beat
• Sounds of Silence - Simon and Garfunkel
• Violent Femmes - Violent Femmes

Seems like quite a few, but the only one I still listen to these days is Odelay.
