I describe certain albums I like as "Hit City." An album deemed Hit City status doesn't just mean it's one of my favorites. In fact, I wish a lot more of my favorite albums lived in Hit City. To me, it means that the album has no mediocre, skippable songs. Track for track greatness. I'll add more as I find other albums that I consider worthy.
