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?

Pat Travers - Crash and Burn, side one. One of the best sides in my rock collection. Excellent recording - kudos to the engineers.

I posted this days ago and quoted another post I made about it. There's a piece of trivia I wanted to share. They censored it - what a joke.

Here's the link: censored?

By the way, side 2 truly crash and burns.
Tvad - great thread! One that I actually will monitor.

Oneprof - I can't believe I forgot Queen's "Side Black" and their "Sheer Heart Attack" side. Especially since it meets my uniqueness demand. (Like Kate).

Rbischoff - Another great side with Traffic's "John Barleycorn Must Die".

Jaybo - Good call with "Thin Lizzy's "Jailbreak"

I listen to everything but it's great to see some rocker's here on the Gon!
Grant,

Funny..I paid the same a few years back!! Its great when you find good recordings for next to nothing!!

Another I like is Larry Carlton's "Alone but never alone" side one.ending with "The Lord's Prayer"..well done!
Jaybo..very observant.

Patty Smith "Easter" side 1.

Usually play side 1 first. Most of the time I just flip them over and listen to both sides
Several titles come to mind:

By far the greatest, Abbey Road, Side 2. The music is timeless.

DSOTM - Pink Floyd - Both sides. I wore quite a few vinyl and cassette copies out over the years. Now I have it on SACD and 30th Anniversary vinyl.

Boston - Boston - Side 1

Aqualung - Jethro Tull - Side 1 - Beautiful, gritty and melodic.

Aja - Steely Dan - Both sides. Truly their best effort.

David Arkenstone - Everything he recorded on the Narada label still gets a LOT of spin here.

Selling England By The Pound - Genesis - Side 1. Puts me into a trance.
