From the world of reggae. The 1st Studio One Album I ever bought. Not a bad track on it, IMO

I think I agree with this - just about every album has its "Death At One's Elbow", "Don't Stop", "Polar Bear" or "Hit The Plane Down". I'm struggling to name a bad track on "Reading, Writing and Arithmetic", but I think maybe the peaks aren't high enough to justify special inclusion (although it is undoubtedly a great and easy album to listen to).

As much as I love GB as was listening at the age of 14, Bizarro's longer tracks (sorry [MENTION=12196]tinycowboy[/MENTION]) and bigger production worked for me. And i'll never forget the pit at Reading 90.

Personal recent favourites are Hand.Cannot.Erase and the Raven that refused to sing by Steven Wilson.
All time favourite probably Space Ritual though.

I'm new to this thread, and don't have the time to trawl through all of it.
Well done for selecting For Emma, James, which was one of my favourites of the previous decade.
I'm sure they've been said, but I give you:
Joy Division -- Unknown Pleasures
PJ Harvey -- Rid of Me
Neil Young & Crazy Horse -- Everybody Knows That This is Nowhere
Radiohead -- In Rainbows

Well, I actually think Bewitched and Take Me are two of the best tracks on Bizarro. I think one of the WP's strengths is that (for me) there is no definitive best album - their best tracks are sprinkled liberally over all of them. I think that a "bum" track isn't such a bad idea on a good album - it acts as a palette cleanser between classics. Blur used silly short songs to very good effect on Parklife - not really bum tracks, but good filler to ease the transition between longer songs.

Very much so! I got it a few days earlier as it was Rough Trade's album of the month - similar in terms of its eclectic mix, but it's a lot more doo-wop-y, but in a way that somehow works. Even though his lyrics are bleak in a lot of places, it still sounds upbeat. The previous album was a grower, and I think this one even more so.
