Kanye West's Family Business doesn't suck. I'm sort of emphatic towards the album in general, but it's a good enough song.

King Crimson, "Happy Family"
(uh actually that one's an allegory about the Beatles breakup, so maybe it shouldn't be here. Too late now...)
Police, "Synchronicity II"
The Frost, "The Family"
Sly & The Family Stone, "Family Affair"

I know of two different songs titled "Our House" and I hate 'em both. Any more? Any good ones?

OTM to Found a Job... also Don't Worry About the Government is kind of family oriented (not albums though)

Blackalicious' Blazing Arrow has tracks about family... Make You Feel That Way, and especially Purest Love. Definately do not suck IMO.

I thought this was Albums about... family life that doesn't suck. In that everyone in the family's happy, regardless of weather the album suck or not. In this respect, I can only this of one song. Madness - Our House
