Amazing Album Sides

There are amazing album sides that rock and swing from the first song through the last. The albums they come from are usually outstanding, but one side seems to get played over and over.

I'm going to start with a somewhat obscure and less obvious choice...Talking Heads' "Remain In Light" Side 1: "Born Under Punches (The Heat Goes On)", "Crosseyed and Painless", "The Great Curve".

Which one does it for you?

Here's a guilty pleasure:

Boston's first album, "Boston"- Side 1: More Than a Feeling, Peace of Mind, Foreplay/Long Time, Rock & Roll Band

One of the interesting things about Remain In Light is that side A is supposed to be the "wet" side and side B is the "dry" side - I'm not sure why they picked this structure, and I didn't pick up on it until I read about it, but it makes total sense.

Great responses. I'm off to my local vinyl emporium today to search for a few mentioned above.

Perhaps it's because I grew up with albums that I miss album sides as much as I do, but I do. CD suckitude: no album sides, no useful album art.
