Reborn? Peee-yoooo.

I'm a huge Stryper fanboy and even I agree with ya Freddy!

As far as Saxon goes, I quite like "Destiny", wasn't the case when t was released, but it has grown on me. Not so w/"Rock the Nations", I consider that to be a real clunker!

Rush

Funny how nobody has mentioned Queensryche...

Kreator. Even renewal is awesome.

Overkill


Other than that I can't think of any. I might include Motorhead if I'm being charitable and I forget that March Or Die exists.

Of course, I am only thinking about bands with a large discography. It's easy to have no bad albums when you've only released three albums.

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and mention Stone Temple Pilots, but more specifically the DeLeo brothers. I think everything project they've been involved in has been good-to-great. Aside from STP, Army of Anyone and Talk Show were both very good albums.

Suffocation.

I like Reborn.

Alice Cooper. MAYBE Lace and Whiskey, but even that one's enjoyable in it's own way.

Michael Jackson.

And a couple hundred one offs that no one has heard of but are great none the less.

I think many bands have a bad release, Yes, even the Ramones.
A bad release is when only 1/2 the material is crankable.
7 out of 10 songs - is good !
I can only think of SWORD but they only had two releases.
I was going to say The Rods - but they had a horrible release called Hollywood.
Saxon - is a pretty cool call. Was listening to Call to Arms last week in my car.
The Cult - were a solid band, but not sure with later releases.

Tons of bands have never had a "bad" album. A shorter list would be which bands have made a flawless album.

That's an interesting point.  Even one of my all-time favorite albums Rush's "2112" has the clunker "Tears" on it. 

One album that instantly comes to my mind as "flawless" in my book is one we were recently talking about in the Music Haul thread, Sweet's "Desolation Boulevard".  That's one of very few albums I own that I can listen to from start to finish not only without skipping any tracks but also singing along with every single song.

Considering how much AC/DC has put out, they did quite well, but I admit, I just can’t
Listen to Blow Up Your Video, Stiff Upper Lip, and Black Ice all the way through.
I personally think Black Ice is the worst title track they ever did.

Overkill
