What's Hot

What albums do you think are amazing from start to finish? Not many, I reckon! I'm not just thinking about my favourite artists - most of them have at least one duff track per album!

My initial choices
- August and everything after - Counting Crows
- Long gone before daylight - Cardigans

CC one of my favourite bands but not really a fan of the Cardigans - just an exceptional album.

and thanks to Darcym, I'm adding
- Gold - Ryan Adams
- Whatever - Aimee Mann
- Hollywood Town Hall - The Jayhawks

    I was going to say OK Computer then I realised it has Fitter Happier on it!

    So off the top of my head...

    Dire Straights
    Dark Side of The Moon
    Moseley Shoals

    I'm sure if I looked through my collection there would be lots more and no doubt better contenders.

    I can certainly pick out some spoilers on otherwise decent albums!

    The Bends - Planet Telex
    Stanley Road - Wings of Speed

    I think we should recognise the 'Yellow-Bastard-Submarine' as a cultural phenomenon that's has blighted some of the greatest moments in popular music!

    That'll be the next thread - shit songs that ruined great albums!

    The Bigsby was the first successful design of what is now called a whammy bar or tremolo arm, although vibrato is the technically correct term for the musical effect it produces. In standard usage, tremolo is a rapid fluctuation of the volume of a note, while vibrato is a fluctuation in pitch. The origin of this nonstandard usage of the term by electric guitarists is attributed to Leo Fender, who also used the term “vibrato” to refer to what is really a tremolo effect.

    My controversial pick (because he's extremely unfashionable), because I grew up with it, learned to play guitar to it and wore out two vinyl copies:
    Bryan Adams - Reckless
