Amazing Album Sides

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.

Great thread. Got me thinking about which album sides I play the most. BTW, for review of pop/rock music, Robert Christgau is indespensible and a good place to look for new music...http://www.robertchristgau.com/
