Most of my Classical CDs have no bad songs on them. _Handelā€™s Messiah_ā€”definitely no bad songs on that. Frankly, Iā€™m far more accustomed to buying albums and liking all or mostly all of the stuff on it. ---

Lemonheads - Itā€™s a Shame About Ray Odds - Nest Promise Ring - Nothing Feels Good All of Pink Floyds Big 4 albums (although the last 1/4 of the Wall is disappointing relative to the rest, I still wouldnt skip over it.) ---

I was trying to keep the classics out of this, since everyone was gonna pull them out and I knew it, by saying **after** 1990, but OK. Weā€™ll just keep going this direction. The Doors (Duh!) Strange Days-The Doors(Double Duh!) Jefferson Airplane-Surrealistic Pillow ---

In addition to many fine ones mentioned: ALL Pink Floyd with Roger Waters, none without him. Roger Waters ā€œAmused to Deathā€ My best album purchase of 1991 and since then as well. Tom Waits ā€œBone Machineā€ My other best album purchase of 1991 and since then as well. (In fact I love all Tom Waits albums) Return to Forever ā€œRomantic Warriorā€ Miles Davis ā€œAmandalaā€ Yes ā€œRelayerā€ these come to mind instantly. ---

Defined as ā€œalbums I will put in, push play, and not skip around at all, even if Iā€™m within arms reach of the CD player and have nothing better to doā€ Two of mine have already been said, but: Nirvana- _Nevermind_ Metallica- _Master of Puppets_ Metallica- _S&M_ Disc 2 Guns ā€˜nā€™ Roses- _Apetite for Destruction_ Tool- _Opiate_ Red Hot Chili Peppers- _Californication_ CCR- _Chronicle_ (though, thatā€™s a ā€œbest ofā€, so I donā€™t know if it should count) Godsmack- _Godsmack_ Rammstein- _Sehnsucht_ And AFIā€™s _All Hallows EP_ would be on the list if not for the 15-30 seconds of random sounds at the end of each track Then, I reread the OP, noticed the ā€œsince 1990ā€ bit and got 3 of mine DQā€™d ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Zenster \* > \*\*Amazingly enough, _Sports_ by Huey Lewis and the News qualifies. Itā€™s one of those rare albums you can put on ā€œrepeat play.ā€ All the rest of their stuff stinks. \*\* Odd - I immediately thought of _Fore!_ by Huey Lewis and the News when I saw this thread! I remember having a discussion with a friend years ago, and we agreed that it didnā€™t have a bad track on it. ---
