Obviously any one song from say Dark Side, or Brian Wilson's Smile is always going to be better as part of a whole in a way that isn't the case for BJ, but it doesn't mean lighter albums wouldn't make for a good set.
Two of the best bands I've seen do these shows have been Cheap Trick (Heaven Tonight & In Colour) and the Lemonheads (Shame about Ray), all absolutely massively packed with 3 minute pop tunes. And I absolutely cannot ****ing wait to see Earth Vs. The Wildhearts in the autumn.
It's not been so much the musicality as the importance of the work to either a band's career or the era they were created. And just an overall sense of coherence.
