I saw this discussion elsewhere, and thought it was interesting.
Can you name 5 "albums," (full ones) where every track is good? I own hundreds of albums, but I can't think of many. Greatest hits compilations not allowed!
The Band: Music from the Big Pink
Jimmy Buffett: White Sport Coat and a Pink Crustacean.
Steely Dan: Aja
Pearl Jam: Ten
Pink Floyd: Dark Side of the Moon
I can't think of any "new" ones where EVERY track is a winner.

Toby Keith -----> Shock'n Y'all
Actually, Toby's first album was 14-15 tracks and most of 'em still see a lot of air time damn near 20 years after the fact.
-
Beatles, Abby Road.
Genesis, The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway.
Rush, Moving Pictures.
Yes, the Yes album.

I used to have the Star Wars album (on vinyl) and really liked it. I totally forgot about Herb Albert & the Tijuana Brass album you mentioned. That's reaching way back.
Speaking of way back, How about Glenn Miller- The Greatest Hits ??

I left out a whole pisspot full of "Greatest Hits" albums. Figured they were outside of the perameters of this particular thread.

Yes, "Greatest Hits" don't count. I read this to mean pure albums that just hit on every single cut.

Metallica - Metallica (The Black Album)
Bluesbreakers With Eric Clapton (Gold) (1994) - John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers
Judas Priest - British Steel
John Anderson - Wild and Blue

Spinal Tap -- Break Like The Wind (OK. not a perfect album, but a perfect album NAME).
-
I can't recall any names at present but I read an interesting article about song compilations on albums. There are a lot of number one hit singles that bands have but on albums as filler just to complete the album.
Paranoid by Black Sabbath is one.
Roxanne by The Police is another.

Maynard Ferguson - M.F. Horn I (who said Brits can't play swing?)
Buddy Rich - "Plays and Plays and Plays...." (some hard drivin' swing on this one)
Canadian Brass - "High, Bright, Light & Clear" - the glory of Baroque brass
Ashley Alexander - Alumni Band I. (Nobody played Superbone like this guy.)
Miles Davis - "So What"
-
a few more
Black Sabbath/ Black Sabbath, and Master of Reality
Ozzy Ozborne, Blizzard of Oz
The Doors, The Doors and LA Woman
ANYTHING by Jim Croce

Best of The Doors
Best of Def Lepard
Best of Marc Anthony (yes, I love latin music....no Florida joke please... :-))

Somewhere in Mn, I have most of my LP Albums. MF Horn I & II are some of them.
BTW, the "Superbone" is just a glorified Euphonium....... :tongue:
-
Spinal Tap -- Break Like The Wind (OK. not a perfect album, but a perfect album NAME).
I had that album! "Bitch School" was pretty good, I thought. BTW, another H5 . . .

Never heard it or saw the movie.

I fell asleep 10 minutes into that movie. Rob Reiner is a wacko that goes way beyond "Meathead."
-

Nope, never have had the exposure to one. From what I understand, it's a valve trombone combined with a slide trombone. Valved instruments aren't THAT hard to play..... :fuelfire:

I saw Johnny Cash perform twice. I worked with him on a charity event too.

Just because you own a trumpet doesn't mean you know what to do with it. Playing both at one time isn't art - it's a gimmick. :whistling: :tongue:
Buddy's album "Stick It" is also a great one. Lin Biviano on lead trumpet almost behaved on that one, especially on "Something". But a better Buddy recording is:
"Roar of '74". I played "Nuttville" some years ago, and it's absolutely the bomb hearing the melody between lead trombone and 2nd tenor in minor seconds.
-
Chicago Transit Authority
Aqualung
There was a Moody Blues album in the early 70's that I almost wore out, and a Rod Stewart one, that had the first cut of Maggie May.
Doobie Brothers
Hmmmm....the memories.... :evillaugh: :naughty: :uhsure:

Days of Future Passed. Arguably the album that propelled Rock through the instrumental genre.

Byte me, Euphless..... :tongue: :-)
I didn't mean that I'd play both of them at the same instant, (although I have done that in the past) but I could play EITHER instrument....
Alan Parsons Project - Tales of Mystery & Imagination
Rick Wakeman - White Rock
-

that's it.....played it constantly...
Knights in White Satin too.

Okay, Mr. Musician. Answer this very basic question:
When was the last time you played EITHER instrument, rather than admire it sitting in the case gathering dust?
:uhsure: :hyper: :lmao:
Count Basie - "Straight Ahead" -- Lotsa Sammy Nestico charts on that one, classics for sure.
-
Never heard it or saw the movie.
The song, and the album (Break Like The Wind), came out in the early 90s. I think the CD is around here somewhere. The movie gave us such classics as "Stonehenge" and a beautiful melody that they were working on, tentatively titled "Lick My Love Pump." (I about peed my pants the first time I saw that.)
-
Also...some Bowie.
Aladdin Sane
Ziggy Stardust
And Diamond Dogs, which has a great jacket.
