Dylan's "Blood on the Tracks" has no weak spots. Jethro Tull's "Aqualung" is also terrific all the way through. Meat Loaf's "Bat Out Of Hell" ditto. "Led Zeppelin IV" and a couple of Who albums also qualify, and several Beatles albums, and maybe the Eagles' "Hotel California" and Blondie's "Parallel Lines", but Dylan wins the "maximin" game because the baseline on "BOTT" is higher than on all those others.

The other favorite albums I can think of all have "skippable" tracks.

[socal_parrot]

Pink Floyd- Dark Side of the Moon

Eric Clapton- 461 Ocean Blvd.

Jimmy Buffett- A1A

Bob Marley and the Wailers- Exodus

Eagles- On the Border

Lynyrd Skynyrd- Pronounced Leh'-nerd Skin'-nerd

And when ever possibe, put on side 2 of Led Zeppelin IV.

[Wyatt's Torch]

Son Volt - Trace

The Police - Syncronicity

Uncle Tupelo - Anodyne

The Corrs Live in Dublin

In this day and age of "singles", a great album is truly a lost art. I'd have to say that the last true "great album" was Appetite for Destruction by Guns and Roses. It's hard to believe that this album is 17 years old this year.
