What Album Has No Bad Songs?

Weezer's not making music that changes the world, but they have at least a few albums where every track is good.

Weezer's not making music that changes the world, but they have at least a few albums where every track is good.

What music changes the world? Or do you mean the world of music?

The Doors first album, Morrison Hotel and L.A. Woman.

Sweet Home Alabama is on Second Helping, that is banworthy.

I equate sweet home Alabama to enter sandman by Metallica on the black album. Most popular song is typically not the best song but still ok.

Good. It’s about time someone helps carry the water for the left hand fork using among us.

Weezer did have some influence in the music world but it wasn't anything significant. Some music does change the world. An example is Velvet Underground being the cultural basis for revolution in Czech Republic. I think music changes the world in more subtle ways, too.

From Velvet Underground to Velvet Revolution

I knew that Pink Floyd The Wall and Led Zeppelin IV (or untitled) would be mentioned a lot, and those are two classic albums - but come on, there are some bad tracks on both.

I can not listen to Black Dog by LZ. It is downright excruciating.

The Wall is awesome. I have grown an appreciation for Thin Ice and Mother over time ... but Vera and Another Brick in the Wall Part 3 are terrible. I think some of you allow how good the best songs are to completely ignore how bad some of the lesser known tracks are.

Obviously such things are wildly subjective but Black Dog is one of LZ's biggest singles and reached #15. It might not be one of your personal faves but it's too well thought of generally to dismiss as "bad" IMO.

The Wall is tougher since some "songs" really don't stand alone in the context of the album. I've always taken Vera (a reference to a real person and song of her own) together with Bring the Boys Back Home as more of the WWII thread bridging Nobody Home and Comfortably Numb. Likewise I've always seen ABITW3 and Goodbye Cruel World together as snippet "state of mind" tracts connecting Don't Leave Me Now and Hey You.

I need to play The Trial for someone that doesn't know The Wall or have any context involved just see their reaction.

QOTSA “Songs For The Deaf”
Dwight Yoakum “Hillbilly Deluxe”
SRV “Soul to Soul”
Steely Dan “Aja”

To each their own.
I'd put almost every pre AJA Steely Dan album on the list, but not AJA. It just bored me.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Metallica - And Justice For All.

Tool - Lateralus and Fear Inoculum - although I'm only counting the actual songs, they have some filler tracks that are basically just....things. I picked out those albums but for me personally I don't think there is a Tool song I consider "bad".

311 - 311 or also known as The Blue Album. This is 100% personal. I can listen to whole album front to back and not skip a song, but I would be shocked if anyone other than a diehard 311 fan to agree.
