I decided to list a few for you, albums I often bought on the strength of a single track where the album turned out to have not a single sub-par track.

• 13 Engines, Perpetual Motion Machine - https://www.discogs.com/master/350451-13-Engines-Perpetual-Motion-Machine
• Beautiful South, 0898 - https://www.discogs.com/master/36197-The-Beautiful-South-0898-Beautiful-South
• Masters of Reality, Masters of Reality - https://www.discogs.com/release/1060496-Masters-Of-Reality-Masters-Of-Reality

Suzanne Vega - Suzanne Vega 1985
Tracy Chapman - Tracy Chapman 1988
Tanita Tikram - Ancient Heart 1988 UK
The Blue Hearts - Meet the Blue Hearts 1995 Japan
The Saw Doctors - Same Oul’ Town 1996 Ireland
Michelle Shocked - The Texas Campfire Tapes 1986 *

* before she got religion and espoused horrible views.
so I’m in 2 minds about this one.

@buffyleigh gotta add Nirvana’s Nevermind. The Cure’s Disintegration.

And soundtrack for The Crow.

@buffyleigh I'll second the call for Anaïs Mitchell's Hadestown, but also the full-cast recording, as well. :)

Another one to add: Chuck Berry's Absolutely Essential 3 CD Collection: https://www.discogs.com/release/7881845-Chuck-Berry-The-Absolutely-Essential-3-CD-Collection
