I hate it when i spend my hard earned on an album -either CD or record-, and it turns out to be a poor recording. Or the only song that's any good is the one that prompted you to buy it.

Thought i'd start a thread, for people to list good recordings which also have good content.
Not looking for lengthy reviews.
Just the artist, album and genre will do.

Would definately recommend the following;

Nitin Sawhney - Beyond Skin (earth shattering bass and great music)
Mary Black - Anything she's ever done
The Script - The Script (great debut album by this Irish band)
Dire Straits - Brothers In Arms (if you haven't got it, shame on you ;))
Elton John - The One (Not to everyones taste but I love this album!)

Can't think of any other at present but will update when I do :)

Paul.
