We all know how difficult it is to find a solid album, that does not have a stinker among them. I thought it might be cool to make a thread where people listed some albums that they believe have not one bad track, and it might be a cool way to recommend albums to people

Here is my list:

The one that comes to mind immediately for me is "Taking the Long Way" by the Dixie Chicks. There is not one song on there I don't like. I don't know any other Dixie Chick fan that doesn't love every single song on that album. Can't say that for Fleetwood Mac

I'm seriously thinking, they're going to take home the Grammy.
