"Best Albums-Start to Finish"

Driving around the other day and hit random on the ol' ipod... Soundgarden's 'Superunknown' comes on...haven't listened to that in ages, so I put the album on and every single song on that bad boy is amazing! Start to finish. So perhaps we could share our favorite albums that are just amazing from track 1 to 10. Complete masterpieces, not one-track wonders.

So for me, here are a few top to bottom homeruns: (add yours...any genre of music)

Soundgarden, Superunknown
Audioslave, Audioslave
Red Hot Chili Peppers, Stadium Arcadium
Radiohead, OK Computer
Beastie Boys, License to Ill
Rush, Moving Pictures

just for starters.

Wait a minute...how are these "underrated albums"? Except for that piece of shit excuse for a Red Hots album

You're right...change the topic title to "Best Albums-Start to Finish". I'm not able to do it.

And how dare you blaspheme that RHCP album!

lets establish a guide line as to what makes something underrated. Did it not sell enough? Not enough critical praise? Or are not enough people you know hip to it?

OK, underrated was a poor choice of words, can a mod change the title to "Best Albums-Start to Finish?" Why can't we edit the title of our own post anyway?
Or just delete it and I'll repost.

Title Change...Done!!!
