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?

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.

Resurrecting this old thread rather than starting a new one.

This past Tuesday night our music group gathered at my home and among the LPs were the old Jim Morrision, Doors “An American Prayer.”

I can hardly believe it was released way back in 1978 and I recall much controversy, some even calling it “A rape of Jim Morrison.”

Regardless of those times it still moves me today, the Doors remain one of my all time favorite rock bands and this LP is too often overlooked.
