Crime of the Century by Supertramp should be mentioned too.
And does A Night at the Opera by Queen count as well?

We've been debating the last classic Stones album, and someone made the comment that a classic album requires every song on the album be a classic. I tend to disagree...
...but it raises a question that I don't know has been debated here: albums from the rock'n'roll era where EVERY song is a classic/masterpiece.
I'll start off with a couple of ideas:
Springsteen - Born to Run
Stones - Sticky Fingers

Yes they are hard to find.
Imo, one or two "stinkers" or average songs on an otherwise great album do no harm. The great songs even shine brighter.
An album containing only masterpieces can be boring in some way, because nothing stands out really... just a thought...

Doctor Robert and Dead Flowers aren't masterpieces, imo.

Those two songs were not even the songs that I had in mind.
In case, very few songs, for instance, on REVOLVER would be masterpieces, because at least "Doctor Robert" to me is one.

Seriously! Lennons take on the drugdealer-doctor is almost above a masterpiece with it's odd song-construction...and Dead Flower..pretty boring to play but very attractive to listen to...
