100 Albums with a definite 'b-side'

You know, where side 1 has the best track(s) and side 2 has the 'filler', yeah that dramatic a split.

(note: Not the "side 2 is better" thread, maybe we should do those separately)

e.g.

100) Love "Da Capo"

99) Kraftwerk "Autobahn"

98) Busted - A Present For Everyone

97) Paul Simon 'Rhythm of the Saints'

96: talking heads: remain in light (sort of)

95 : Mike Oldfield : Tubular Bells.

94: 'Low'

93. Scott Walker-Til The Band Comes In

92. Tortoise - Millions Now Living Will Never Die (obviously no filler, but the rest has got nothing on Djed)

91. Roxy Music - "Roxy Music"

i actually really love this way of structuring things, makes me sad i grew up in THE DIGITAL AGE

90 associates, 'sulk'

although that one does it back to front.

Send it to the other thread then.

I often wonder, for all that loads of artists say "I still think of albums as two sided entities", why nobody's ever done a "double 3" CD" format album.

XTC did a triple one, but that's all I know of.

89. Prince & The Revolution - Around the World in a Day

88. Pink Floyd - Atom Heart Mother

86. Camper Van Beethoven: Key Lime Pie

A pack of two 3-inch CDs.

No, because E.T.I. and This Ain't The Summer Of Love are on side 1, and some forgettable dreck is on side 2.

i'm quite surprised that so many genuine classics are being mentioned in this category ('for your pleasure', 'remain in light', 'marquee moon', 'another green world'). the idea of a whole side's worth of filler on those albums is inconceivable to me. for me this thread lends itself much more easily to records that have a legitimately shitty second side after a promising start (something along the lines of modest mouse's 'good news for people who love bad news').

73. Bruce Springsteen, Tunnel Of Love.

72. mgmt - oracular spectacular

(something along the lines of modest mouse's 'good news for people who love bad news').

Now, see, thats just wrong too, considering that "Tetons" and "Good Times..." are two of the best songs on the album.

OMG! I totally misread the thread title. I hereby withdraw No. 73. Side Two of Tunnel Of Love is far better than Side One (and I think I said so on the proper thread). Apologies.

Jeez, I'm a nitwit.

I was wondering about that, considering I had just wandered over from that Springsteen thread.

^same. havent heard that album but given the main idea of that thread was "best side 2 evar" i thought dan was just challopsing

All my best challops are unintentional.
