Mr. Moderator posted a thread<\/a> back in October about albums with no duds. <\/p>\n

In that vein I would like to nominate The Kinks<\/strong>‘ Arthur<\/strong><\/em>. And I’m going to start with the assumption that there is only one song on this album that could be considered a dud,<\/p>\n

She’s Bought A Hat Like Princess Marina<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n

If you think there are others, feel free to offer them up. Sadly you’ll just be making a fool of yourself, but you know, free-world and shit.<\/p>\n


\nFor an album to be dud-less does each and every song have to be “great” or in other words, does it have to be a song that you’d search out and play on its own? “Hey man, let’s do some gummers and crank up She’s Bought A Hat Like Princess Marina<\/em>!”<\/p>\n

I say a resounding “NO!” This is my least favorite song on the album and I would never seek it out. However when I listen to the album, I know it’s coming, enjoy it and would miss it if it were gone. Similar to my feelings for Hello, Goodbye<\/em> which has a way trippy vibe for me in context but not so much on its own. <\/p>\n

Though this is cool
