AC/DC backin black
others just cant come up with em.

Quite a few out there, but I guess as it's been fresh in my player, the new Scorps album instantly comes to mind.

Journey - Frontiers and Escape

& Almost every Alice Cooper album except Constrictor, Zipper Catches Skin, Dada, and Special forces. The reason being is that most Alice Cooper albums (except the ones mentioned ) are concept t/ theme oriented and you tend just to get into the flow of the whole thing and tend to like the whole album.

By the way theres a fantastic Alice Cooper album coming out this year- Along Came a Spider. Be sure to check it out.

Giant - Last of the Runaways

Styx-Grand Illusion
Stryper-To Hell With The Devil

It's an interesting question, actually. I did quite some thinking and there's not many albums I know which only have great songs. As big a Toto fan I am there's no single Toto cd I like entirely. Even my fav. Isolation has a weak track (Holyanna). Same goes for Whitesnake's 1987 and Journey's Escape and Frontiers.

The new Scorpions album is absolutely amazing. Probably the best of 2007 right there.

Exactly, it isn't that easy, hand on heart to say every track is great. That first Giant album was not just composed it was crafted, every last note, nothing Dan Huff and co. did was surplus to requirement. Funny, I wrestled with Isolation too for Hollyanna and to a degree, Stranger in Town which hass essence of cheese throughout.... saw Giant once thank God i did they were mind-blowing.

First 4 that popped into my head.........

TMG ~ TMG I
