: The first side is 5 of the greatest songs of
: the 70's (which isn't enough to place them
: among Dylan's 10 best songs of course, but
: that's another matter), the second side is 2
: more songs of the same quality, an enjoyable
: bluesy throwaway, a pleasant little acoustic
: guitar show-off, and 8 minutes of wasted
: time.

: I'd also nominate 10cc's debut. It depends a
: little bit on where your edition places
: "Rubber Bullets" (mine places it
: square in the second sides, which obviously
: mitigates the problem somewhat) but I think
: most people agree that the last 3 songs are
: good, but inferior ("Ships Don't
: Dissapear in the Night" has possible
: the best build-up and chorus in 10cc's
: career, but the mid-section menders way too
: much).

: Also, I assume someone has mentioned The
: Wall (right?).
: And it's not really much of an album, but
: The Yardbirds' "Having a Rave-Up"
: is maybe the most blatant example of this
: I've ever seen.
: It starts off with 6 of the greatest,
: seminal, iconic, epochal, revolutionary,
: ground-breaking, eccletic, iconoclastic,
: unique, brilliant, other nice epitaphs songs
: of the 60's and ends with 4 okay live blues
: covers already released on an earlier LP.
: Woopee!

: three albums where the first side is nearly

: in comparison.
