well, true, but I always think of Physical Graffiti as two different albums because both sides are quite different

But a double album has FOUR sides . . . do you mean DISC 1, as in the CD? Either way, side 1 or disc 1 I've never liked In My Time of Dying going on for over 10 minutes. Plant at his shriekiest.

I would be very interested to know what the "bad tunes" on Sticky Fingers are.

Motels, once again, close but no cigar . . . a more interesting and specific thread would be "Bad Tunes on Otherwise Great Albums". Not that you should start it.

One could, arguably, then say "SOME GIRLS" - "Lies"

Great subtitle for my autobiography.

"a more interesting and specific thread would be "Bad Tunes on Otherwise Great Albums". Not that you should start it."

Actually on this board you can change the title in the Topic. You couldn't do that on the Novogate board. But I guess its not exactly the same thing.

as I've never bought vinyl, an age thing - yes I mean CD 1, In My Time Of Dying IMO is a monsterous riff and well produced so deserves the extra duration

You're the one who asserted at the start of your thread that it "came close" to having no bad tunes. The construct of your sentence implies that it's not quite there, which means, by the definition of the thread you took the time to post, that there's one on there. And now, less than 10 posts later, you won't even back up your initial assertions?

You're SOOOOOOOOOOOOO bad at this!

I spent a great deal of high school doing just that. PG was a major spin for me. Or "reel" since them was the days of tapes. But then I found out where the mind goes when you "burn a bone" and play Let It Bleed. Then Zep was OVER.

I like the music OK on Dying - the slide guitar is very oooooozey, but this is the exact moment (which continues for most the rest of this album and the rest of Zep's career) when Plant loses me as a vocalist.

I'll take the Blind Willie Johnson version, thanks!
really?

Appetite For Destruction and Some Girls are two that instantly come to my mind.

*However, I think the term "bad" is used a bit loosely here. For instance, take Sticky Fingers for example. Some may say that "You Got To Move" is the weakest track on the album. Even if you feel this way the tune isn't "bad" per say. It may not be what you want, but it is done well.

So I think maybe we may want to debate this as albums with not one "weak" track as opposed to the term "bad". Few albums from The Stones actually have tunes that I might call actually "bad".

Why duck? It was an excellent record. Producer Glenn Ballard did a fantastic writing job with her.

While I certainly cannot relate to any of the lyrics on the album (being that I'm a man), I do appreciate the fact that all the tunes, formulatic as they were, were all "Grade A" pop tunes and the album was completely solid in that from start to finish.

I have it with the lyric sheet on the original Warner Bros. pressing. You have to hunt those down (I got a rare unscratched one for only $3.00, but spent more on bad editions) because every pressing of Aqualung that's not on Warners sucks. The Chrysalis pressings sound like they were made from high-gen sources, and get worse with each pressing. The CD versions up to a few years ago were all high-gen sources, and all rotten product not improved since the late 80s. So it's an original or an audiophile version for Aqualung in any medium, and I probably spent $25 learning that.

Good post. And, really, the MOFI version isn't worth it, either. Fake sounding and too isolated in that MOFI way. The Reprise (warner) version is definitely the way to go. White label if you can get it. Had it, sold it, had it, and sold it again . . . it's not like they didn't make a million of them . . .

I got my Aqualung (finally) for $3.00 at Jerry's in Pittsburgh, but I had to hunt and squint until I found an unscratched one. When I popped a Reprise issue on the BSR turntable and cheap headphones, I could tell in two seconds that it was the only worthwhile pressing.

There was supposed to have been a CD re-release with improved sound scheduled, but I lost track of whether it came out.

The Reprise pressing is trebly but has excellent track separation that got flattened out after it went to Chrysalis. I've bought a lot of orange-tan and pink-green label Reprise, and gold or green label Warners (Kinks, Joni, Neil, Dead, Van), and those are always worth having.

Indeed. It's a shame how many of those record pressings go to hell from about 1973 until the death of vinyl. It's like somebody pressed the noise reduction button on the entire industry - everything tends to get muddy and fuzzy. It's a bitch how flat the pure brown Reprises gets on 60s recordings. I've had to ditch numerous clean looking brown labels for early two and three tones. Give me my original mono Village Green Preservation Society over a crappy 70s reish (or a 180 gram prestige job) any day of the week.

All subjective, of course...and you guys have mentioned some great albums. Many Stones, Beatles, Dylan, Who albums fit this category. I agree with Pet Sounds as well. And, I will add {for me, anyway}, "After The Goldrush". And there are Petty and Townshend albums with no "bad" tracks, as far as I'm concerned. And Stephen Stills. For me, anyway. Wink
