8. Behind Blue Eyes
9. Won't Get Fooled Again

Definitely an incredible album :thumbsup:

Most albums have at least one song where I want to skip a track, but this is good for a full play through every time.

I think you guys are missing the point.

Pretty sure OP was looking for songs that were hits. I love the Pumpkins, but there were some stinkers on Mellon Collie that would never be played on the radio. Same with STP.

if you're buying albums that don't consistently have atleast 3 great consecutive songs, then you're buying bad music.

Yeah pretty much, I'm sure there are albums out there where certain people love EVERY song, but the songs should have some mainstream success and/or critical acclaim for them to be "great" in this context.

Another one: Inxs - Kick

2. New Sensation
3. Devil Inside
4. Need You Tonight

Whether you like the genre or not, they all got significant airplay.

I also agree with theprodigalrebel about Pearl Jam - Ten

no, third eye blind - self titled, the entire CD.



Sweet, there are some 3EB fans around here. Their debut album is perfect from "Losing a Whole Year" all the way to "God of Wine."

Isn't that a greatest hits album? If so it doesn't count, all great songs though, to bad the writer got Sh**ted on and won't ever see a dime for them.

Entire CD.

I don't know who is more over rated, them or U2.

Both cause me to instantly chance the station.

IMO of course

There are countless albums that I can listen to front to back though.

Yeah, I didn't get that out of his post. In that case, I don't know that any of my albums would make the cut.
