In a world of MP3’s, how dated is the word “album”? Guess it’s better than talking 8 track tapes.  But I just spent the afternoon watching VH1’s “Top 100 Hard Rock Songs Ever” and man did it bring back memories.

I dusted off my vinyl collection long ago– I don’t even own a record or a cassette player anymore–and most of my favorite music has been replaced in MP3 format. Which means when I go on iTunes, I don’t always download EVERY song from an album. Which is a shame, because you forget some of the best songs and tend to download just the most well-known tunes.Which brings me to my list of great albums albums.

There’s a few albums that I can think of offhand, where EVERY song on the record is just so darn good.

In a nutshell, here’s my Top 11 list, because I couldn’t stop at just 10:

Let It Bleed- The Rolling Stones

Dark Side of the Moon- Pink Floyd

Rumours -Fleetwood Mac

Van Halen II- Van Halen

Damn the Torpedoes-Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

Appetite for Destruction -Guns and Roses

Blood Sugar Sex Magik- Red Hot Chili Peppers

 In Utero- Nirvana

Live Through This-Hole 

Dookie- Green Day

White Blood Cells- The White Stripes  P.S. I could just say every Nirvana album, but that would be redundant.
