Perfect Albums

[Mr Films]

Anybody ever do that thing where you buy a record for whatever reason and sort of discard it for a while.

Then you come back to it later down the road and discover it is perfect in every way?

Sadly, I did this with Paul's Boutique way back when (like many people)

But recently, I've discovered another album in my collection like this....


FUCKIN Midnite Vultures by BECK.

Christ, just like Odelay, it's flawless and I never knew til now.

:(

[Brother McDuff]

I had that same epiphany with Midnite Vultures myself a few months back. I originally got it expecting the laid back chillness of Odelay, though it didn't cut it for me. But when I listened to it years later I realized that it was like an Odelay with more energy that was bursting at the seams with ill shit. Every second there's something new going on.... I love it. It's genius.

That phenomena happens to me all the time, though. Some of the more notable discs that took me years to appreciate include "Physical Grafitti" (Led Zeppelin,) "Bizarre Ride" (Tha Pharcyde,) "One Hot Minute" (Red Hot Chili Peppers,) and just this week "Nia" (Blackalicious.)

[beastie fresh]

LTI by the Beastie Boys, I thought it was decent, listened to it on a long car trip, was totally amazed how good it was.

[intergalactic]

Strokes: Is this it?
StoneRoses: the StoneRoses
Elliot Smith: Figure 8
Tim Burgess: I believe
B-boys: Ill Communication (y)

[Mr Films]

others for me:

Bboys- Check Your Head
Jay-Z- The Black Album
Outkast- Aquemini
Her Space Holiday- Home is Where You Hang Yourself

and truthfully, to the 5 boroughs did not impress me the first week I had it. But now, it's on heavy rotation.

Back to Midnite Vultures, tho. Hey, McDuff, what're your fav tracks?
mine are:
Milk and Honey
Nicotine and Gravy
and
Debra

[beastie fresh]

Brand New-Deja Entendu
AFI-Sing the Sorrow
Incubus-Morning View (didn't know it was gonna be THIS good (y) )

[roosta]

Jay-Z "Blueprint"
Dj Shadow "Endtroducing"

[Tzar]

LTI = only 'cause i never skip one track in the whole album and it gets me going every time i hear it.

Milk and Honey
Nicotine and Gravy

Beastie's Paul's Boutique.

[Brother McDuff]

Back to Midnite Vultures, tho. Hey, McDuff, what're your fav tracks?
mine are:
Milk and Honey
Nicotine and Gravy
and
Debra

Those are some of my favorites too, though I'm also in love with "Hollywood Freaks" and "Mixed Bizness." The whole album is amazing. I can't wait for his new one. He's working with the Dust Brothers (primarily), and doing a few tracks with Dan the Automator and Timbaland.

To Disco Quebrado, that's a shame that you don't dig Vultures. If you haven't listened to it in awhile, maybe its time you throw on some headphones and give it another shot. You're really missing out. Oh well.

i dont enjoy this kind of beck but i love every single song on the other albums but this album ... i dont know how express it i dont hate it but i dont love it either it makes nothing to me
but i cant wait until the new record i think hes working together with the dust brothers and so we can expect a odelay kind of album

[Mary-Kate]

I did that with Hoobastank's cd.

[Auton]

Mixxed Bizness
Broken Train
Pressure Zone
Debra

[Auton]

actually, I'm not going to bother making a list, because I'm biased and I'll just end up including my favorite albums, perfect or not

[DaFro]

When i first brought Eric b and rakim, paid in full, platinum. i didn't like it.
but the other week i noticed it and put it on.. :rolleyes: ... now i love it man :D
eric b is bad on the decks(bad meening blooding fantastic!)
'i know you got soul' is a fuckin quality tune
and 'paid in full'- a classic
'chinese arithmetic'- is bad ass
i just don't understand why i descared it when i first got it :confused:

[laserx54]

Pink Floyd - Animals


'Nuff said.

[Knuckles]

Midnight Vultures is an amazing album. I actually liked that one right away. Everyone at my job hated it and they were pissed off that I played it all the time. Luckily I'm the boss so fuck them. Another couple perfect albums... Raising Hell
Appetite For Destruction

[g-mile7]

Nas- Illmatic
Eric B and Rakim- Paid in Full
Murs- 3:16 9th wonder edition

Arabian Nights(very Hollywood Freaks)
Dirty Dirty
Salt in the Wound
This is my crew
Midnite Vultures (the song)
Zatyricon

If you like Odelay:
Deadweight
Clock
Lemonade
Diskobox

[discodistortion]

for me, midnite vultures would be perfect if it weren't for FUCKING Hollywood Freaks. same with odelay, if it weren't for High Five.

for me, the perfect album is:
- Cibo Matto - Viva! La Woman

[what_the_doofus]

thursday - full collapse is a damn perfect album.

[paece!-man]

Fischmob with "Power". A milestone for German Hip Hop!!!
"Hello Nasty" is perfect, too.

although I love it, Who's Next is far from perfect....

Rated R-Queens Of The Stone Age.
Appetite For Destruction

[greedygretchen]

I cannot agree.

But it is an emotional thing - perhaps you need to have been through a period in a relationship where it rings true.

It is a simple, brilliant song.



I want something like I remember
And I want something
That lasts forever
I remember times you said
That you'd be true to me
Look at how the weather's changing

I'm accustomed to your deception
Comes the rule with no exception
And I've been dragged across the river
Running far and wide
Come and see how I feel inside

Change for the better
Change for the worse
Changes with summer and fall

Now you're a stranger
Spare me some change
So I can find someone to call my own

Now that winter has fallen upon us
I need something that's warm and honest
And if I found someone who thinks
That they'll be true to me
I really wouldn't want to change it

I have seen I have seen
What these changes mean to me
If you're thinking of changing
If you're thinking of staying with me
We need to agree
We need to make some changes
We need what we need
Do I need you
Do you need me

[Matt]

Talking Heads - 77
The Clash - London Calling

[Boss Hoss]

guns 'n' roses - use you illusion 1 & 2


hahahahaha no way...put together the albums had maybe three good tracks...

Velvet Underground - and nico

the album is awesome and unarguably groudbreaking but perfect it is not. European Son sucks ass. and the only good bit about Black Angel's Death Song is when it goes "pssshshshshshshshhsh!!"

I agree that The Who's WHO'S NEXT is perfect.


come on, the album was basically just thrown together after the whole Lifehouse thing never got going.

The lyrics are all right -- much better than the music, which I think is pedestrian.

The hooks and melodies and bridges of the other songs sound so effortlessly brilliant; "Changes" sounds like Julian Lennon trying to write Sugar music.

There were things that got tossed off the album -- "Needle Hits E," "Diamonds are Haloes," or especially "Try Again" which are so much better.

But, as you say, it's a personal thing. I still don't get "Beowulf," either.

[abcdefz]

come on, the album was basically just thrown together after the whole Lifehouse thing never got going.



Yeah? So what?

It also took William Kennedy 8 drafts to write Legs. Is that a problem?

[abcdefz]

come on, the album was basically just thrown together after the whole Lifehouse thing never got going.



...for that matter, The Rolling Stones' Tattoo You was cobbled together from bits and pieces, and it still ranks as probably one of their six best albums ever.

You're a process snob, ain'tcha?

[bigim]

Air->Talkie Walkie

Basement Jaxx->Kish Kash

Beastie Boys-The Sounds Of Science

Bran Van 3000->Discosis

www.blah blah blah.com


Tell me what you think


you're crossing a line buddy

[mickill]

There really are only three near perfect albums that I can think of:

Paul's Boutique - Beasties (which doesn't have a weak moment)
Revolver - The Beatles (which is flawed only by 1 or 2 mediocre songs)
Bringing It All Back Home - Bob Dylan

Others that come close are:

London Calling - The Clash (Almost perfect...Four Horsemen was kinda weak)
Abbey Road - The Beatles (Why is Maxwell's Silver Hammer on this?)
Are You Experienced? - Jimi Hendrix (The US or UK version)
Check Your Head - The Beasties (Needed some of the fat trimmed)
The Stone Roses - The Stone Roses (near flawless...some weak material)
Elvis in Memphis - Elvis Presley
IV/Zoso - Led Zeppelin (It seems cliched, but it really is that good)
III - Zepplin (lacked impact of other albums, but is more consistent than all but IV)
Sticky Fingers - The Rolling Stones
Darkness on the Edge of Town - Bruce Springsteen
De La Soul is Dead - De La Soul (marred only by some weak songs/skits)
Death Certificate - Ice Cube (near perfect...a bit harsh)
Illmatic - Nas (Could have done without the MJ sample on It Ain't Hard To Tell)
Ziggy Stardust - David Bowie (If it were more consistently strong throughout)
Nation of Millions...- Public Enemy (1 or 2 filler tracks)
Definitely Maybe - Oasis (If it really were all their songs)
In The Wee Small Hours - Frank Sinatra (a bit repetitive)
Wish You Were Here - Pink Floyd (Too much Shine On You Crazy Diamond)
Little Earthquakes - Tori Amos
And Justice for All - Metallica (why does the sound quality have to suck?)
Burnin' - Bob Marley
We're Only in it for the Money - Frank Zappa (a bit too silly at times)
Live at the Old Quarter - Townes Van Zandt (not quite varied enough)
Face to Face - the Kinks (Village Green... is excellent too, but lacked impact)
Axis: As Bold As Love - Jimi Hendrix (not as consistently strong as it could've been)
Blood Sugar Sex Majik - RHCP (some extremely high highs...unfortunately some low lows, particularly with the lyrics)
Nevermind - Nirvana (Once again, some weak filler here and there)
The Bends - Radiohead (Not particularly fond of several songs)
Morning Glory - Oasis (Some unoriginal moments drag this down a few notches. Otherwise fantastic album)
Live at the Apollo - James Brown (has had better material, but no album as consistent)
Raising Hell - Run DMC (You Be Illin isn't quite a timeless gem or anything)
The Joshua Tree - U2
The Man Who - Travis (It may be a little too sappy for some people, but it has very few filler tracks)

There are albums that I like better than a lot of these, but these ones have the least amount of filler material.

[n/c]

London Calling - The Clash (Almost perfect...Four Horsemen was kinda weak)

imho Four Horsemen is one of the best tracks on London Calling

[mickill]

imho Four Horsemen is one of the best tracks on London Calling

You know, I always seem to skip this track, and just recently I read that it was Joe Strummer's least favorite Clash song. I wouldn't personally go that far, but I found it interesting.

[Vladimir]

Tool - Lateralus
A Perfect Circle - Mer De Noms
Incubus - Make Yourself
Ben Harper - The Will to Live OR Live From Mars
The Jimi Hendrix Experience - Are You Experienced?
Jurassic 5 - Power in Numbers (Not quite perfect but it is growing on me)
Rage Against the Machine - Battle of LA (I've always thought Rage was a little monotonous, but this is a great CD)
Weezer - The Blue Album
I don't have all the Beasties CDs, only LTI and TT5B, so that's why I haven't made a judgement about which one is best.

[Mr Films]

Incubus - Make Yourself
Jurassic 5 - Power in Numbers (Not quite perfect but it is growing on me)
Rage Against the Machine - Battle of LA (I've always thought Rage was a little monotonous, but this is a great CD)

That's two bands I think you picked the wrong record as their perfect one. Only cuz J5's "Quality Control" literally is perfect as is Incubus' "Morning View"

I think you're dead on with Rage though. A shame their one flawless album had to be their last.

[abcdefz]

I don't have all the Beasties CDs, only LTI and TT5B, so that's why I haven't made a judgement about which one is best.



:eek:


Wow. That's kinda like saying the only Scorsese movies you've seen are New York, New York and Bringing Out the Dead.

[Vladimir]

yeah man, I know. I'm planning on buying the rest today or tomorrow.

EDIT: Mr. Films - Possibly. I don't own Quality Control, and I didn't put Morning View only because I can't stand the song "Wish You Were Here". Everything else on that album is nice.

[abcdefz]

yeah man, I know. I'm planning on buying the rest today or tomorrow.





Grab Paul's Boutique, Hello Nasty, and Check Your Head ASAP. Ill Communication, The Sounds of Science, In Sound from Way Out and Some Old Bullshit can wait.


Ohmygod, you're in for a treat. I wish I were hearing those three albums for the first time again. (y)

[jabumbo]

lets see...i think all were mentioned, but these are the ones i have that i love so dearly

Beck - Odelay
Clash - London Calling
Beasties - Pauls Boutique
GnR - Appetite for Destruction


and my close calls are:

U2 - The Joshua Tree
AC/DC - Back in Black
Weezer - Weezer (blue)

[Mary-Kate]

The newest Hoobastank cd is a definite perfect album .... and so is Under my skin by Avril Lavigne

[SpanishFly]

The newest Hoobastank cd is a definite perfect album .... and so is Under my skin by Avril Lavigne

Why am I not shocked?

The three perfect albums for me...

Muse - Absolution (pure brilliance)
Radiohead - OK Computer
Jem - Finally Woken

[SpanishFly]

Ah good old Muse! A poor imitation of Radiohead.

Poor imitation my ass.....sure they sound similar, but Absolution is a genius album.

I'm seeing them in concert in 2 weeks.
(y)

[ElectricBugaloo]

Beatles--Abbey Road
Yes, Maxwells Silver HAmmer is on it, but it's just a show of the beatles' humor

RATM-s/t
From the opening strains of "Bombtrack" to the last scream of "Freedom", this album is pure unadulterated fury

Led Zeppelin--IV
Take away the massive radio play of Stairway to Heaven, and this album is solid from start to finish

The Shins--Chutes Too Narrow
Perfectly mixing Beach Boys-esque sound with acoustic ballads to make one of the best pop albums of hte last decade

Talking HEads--Remain in Light
The Talking Heads' best album, and it is probably one of the best of the 70s, even though it was released in December of 79 ( i think)

[saz]

The Stone Roses - The Stone Roses (near flawless...some weak material)

No way...that album is perfect and a masterpiece.

[Mr_Complex]

I used to like Muse before they got ideas above their station. Showbiz is their finest, but it is not a perfect album.

Origin Of Symmetry isn't bad but Absolution is a joke. I saw them live in December and ever since then, I've totally gone off them.

[Mr_Complex]

I also think it's a shame that only I have mentioned Refused's The Shape Of Punk To Come.

[MostDefinate]

Bob Marley - Catch A Fire
i can listen to that one for days all the way through, and so can you, go get it if you aint got it.

[D_Train]

Oh man... there are many! Very, Very few were made in the last 8 years or so though....
Ya'll named some good ones... (so I stole a few)

Led Zeppelin I
Pink Floyd - Dark Side
EPMD - Strictly Business
The Pharcyde - Bizarre Ride
Snoop - Doggystyle
Biggie - Ready to Die
A Tribe Called Quest - Midnight Marauders
Outkast – ATLiens
Sublime – Sublime
Shadow - Endtroducing (and Preemptive Strike)

cliche maybe... but classic & dope regardless... anyone disagree?

just to name a few.... (more to come... i need to add some more old school joints to the list...like before 93)

[peter pan]

well i see a lot i agree with but i'm still missing 'deloused at the comatorium' by the mars volta and 'attack of the grey lantern' by mansun (guess i like weird titles)

[Mr_Complex]

Nah, De-Loused In The Comatorium is alright, but far from perfect. I actually prefer Sparta's 'Wiretap Scars' if we're gonna compared the two ATD-I bands.

[Slick89]

Bone Thugs n harmony - BTNHRessurection
Beastie Boys - Hello Nasty

[tdot04]

The only perfect album in my mind is ATLiens by Outkast. Lot of critics say "Aquemini" is their best, but ATLiens doesn't have a single filler track or even a single weak moment, nope, it's perfection from beginning to end. Aquemini has a few tracks that I'm not feeling, but it's still an outstanding album.

[micah]

Perfect:

Aenima - Tool

Darkside of the Moon - Pink Floyd

Kind of Blue - Miles Davis

[DroppinScience]

Anybody ever do that thing where you buy a record for whatever reason and sort of discard it for a while.

Then you come back to it later down the road and discover it is perfect in every way?

That happens ALL the time. Some albums you can pop in the stereo and just LOVE from the first guitar riff on. Others will take you some time to really get a grasp of and appreciate. I don't think every album is meant to be instantly loved.

The latter are a lot like a fine wine, you just gotta age it gracefully and then it tastes wonderful. :)

[Doctor]

Led Zeppelin- Physical Graffiti
AC/DC- Back in Black
Dire Straits- Alchemy
Beastie Boys- Paul's Boutique
Jimi Hendrix- Are you experienced?

[RiCeBoY102]

Perfect Albums:
DJ Shadow-Endtroducing, Preemptive Strike
Beastie Boys-Paul's Boutique
NaS-Illmatic
Notorious B.I.G-Ready To Die
KRS-One-I Got Next or Sneak Attack
Gang Starr-Moment Of Truth, Hard To Earn

DJ Kicks-Nightmare on wax
Solesides-Soleside's Greatest Bumps

[Parkey]

Boards of Canada - Music Has the Right to Children
and
Aphex Twin - Selected Ambient Works.

Both are unmatched examples of mankinds creativity. They are the dogs bollocks!

[bobbydigital]

Nah, De-Loused In The Comatorium is alright, but far from perfect. I actually prefer Sparta's 'Wiretap Scars' if we're gonna compared the two ATD-I bands.


Are you deaf? Mars Volta is obvisously the better band. I agree De-Loused is OK but it's better than wiretap scars. As for perfect albums...

MAX NORMAL-Songs from the Mall (perfect hip hop)

The Goats-No goats No glory

seriously all beastie's albums

at the drive in-in casino out

rza-check the name

incubus-science

the blood brothers-burn, piano island, burn(maybe not perfect)

primus-frizzle fry

311-grassroots

from autumn to ashes-too bad your beautiful

deftones-adrenaline

Big L-lifestyles of da poor and dangerous

[Huggy Bear]

jane's addiction ~ ritual de lo habitual

smashing pumpkins ~ gish

beasties ~ paul's boutique

stooges ~ funhouse

[mickill]

The Goats-No goats No glory


Uh, you sure about that, man?

Not to mention, most of the other choices you had listed.

"Good" or even "great" are a long way from "perfect".

[madizm]

DJ Shadow - CD portion of In Tune and On Time and of course Endtroducing

Ian Brown - Golden Greats

AFI - Sing the Sorrow (UK Import)

[matt_smith69]

smashign pumpkins - siamese dream

tracy chapman (self titled)

[dave790]

beastie boys-ill communication

sublime-s/t

everclear-so much for the afterglow

terrorvision-regular urban survivors

cypress hill-black sunday

jimmy eat world-clarity/bleed american

the living end-modern artillery

3 colours red-pure

i think there are many albums that are very close...for instance weezer s/t...i would love to say there are more hip hop albums that are perfect but in my opinion there isn't. there's always something ever so slightly wrong with all the rest of my hip hop cd's.

easy

[Mr_Complex]

Are you deaf? Mars Volta is obvisously the better band. I agree De-Loused is OK but it's better than wiretap scars. As for perfect albums...

No, I'm just not pretentious.

[mcaismyhero]

Interpol-Turn On The Bright Lights
Radiohead-Kid A minus Treefingers cause it's boring but the rest is perfect
Sonic Youth-Daydream Nation and Dirty
Weezer-Blue Album

[Auton]

really? listening to Treefingers lead into Optimistic is actually my favorite part of the album. makes it very cinematic.

[Matt]

I don't think I've heard a perfect album. Theres always a track or two that I don't care for too much.

[Auton]

yeah, same here

[mickill]

That's what I've been saying all along.

[bobbydigital]

Uh, you sure about that, man?

Not to mention, most of the other choices you had listed.

"Good" or even "great" are a long way from "perfect".


Yo man, opinions are like assholes--and you're definitely an opinion.

[Auton]

:-|

[mcaismyhero]

It just seems to drag on way too long for me.

[DipDipDive]

Soul Coughing - Irresistible Bliss
Rage Against the Machine - Battle of Los Angeles
Dr. Dre - The Chronic
Chris Whitley - Rocket House
The Beatles - Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
The Roots - The Roots Come Alive
Beastie Boys - Hello Nasty
Jeff Buckley - Grace
Pearl Jam - Versus

I'm sure I'll think of more...

[DipDipDive]

weezer--pinkerton

Good call (y)

[DipDipDive]

AND

Smashing Pumpkins - Siamese Dream
My Bloody Valentine - Loveless

[ProfJIM]

It just seems to drag on way too long for me.

i think as a whole album i like Ok Computer better

[mickill]

Yo man, opinions are like assholes--and you're definitely an opinion.

Wow, I can see how I might have offended you....you know, not sharing your views and all.

But you know, Goats fans are like touchy little bitches--and you're definitely a Goats fan.

[mcaismyhero]

i think as a whole album i like Ok Computer better

I don't know....they both are excellent. In fact, every Radiohead album except Pablo Honey is very good if not perfect.

[ProfJIM]

i like all their songs, but together as a album i love ok computer

[maddy]

As an entire album, The Bends is probably the best fitting album to go under the "it wasnt so great the first time, but the second time it was perfect" category. At first listen a few tracks stuck out, but the second time you listen those singles simply fade away and the album becomes one cohesive piece of work.

Between Ok Computer, Kid A, Amnesiac, and Hail To The Thief. Its hard for me to decide, they are all perfect to me.

[Mr Films]

Between Ok Computer, Kid A, Amnesiac, and Hail To The Thief. Its hard for me to decide, they are all perfect to me.

Hail to the Thief is by far my favorite. It encompasses all their styles.

[mcaismyhero]

Pablo Honey-don't have it, heard it's crappy anyway
The Bends-a good album to relax and maybe study to with some great rock out moments thrown in there (Just, My Iron Lung, Bones to name a few)
OK Computer-Good car-listening album
Kid A-Good album to listen to when you just want to sit and think or contemplate
Amnesiac-Still haven't bought it yet although I've had it in my hands a few times
Hail To The Thief-Has some of their best pure rock songs, when I'm in that kind of mood I'll pop HTTT in

And now that I think about it OK Computer probably is better than Kid A.

[ProfJIM]

ok computer is awesome in the car (y)

[mcaismyhero]

ok computer is awesome in the car (y)

We should just start a thread of albums that are awesome in the car. Because I have a bunch.

[Parkey]

I've always thought The Bends hangs together far better than OK Computer as an album. If I could only have one Radiohead album it would be The Bends (y)

[Brass_Munkey]

Californication-Red Hot Chili Peppers

[senser]

Seems like an obvious choice but my perfect album would be Nevermind. All killer, not one bad track.

Music for the Jilted Generation and Ill communication are near perfect too. :cool:

[yeahwho]

Never mind the Bollocks; Here's the Sex Pistols

The greatest punk rock record ever, of course; was briefly, perhaps, the greatest _rock_ record in the locally known universe; and of course, a historical dividing line: the death knell for Progressive Rock and for Concept Albums. So I can't resist mentioning that NEVER MIND THE BOLLOCKS is also my favorite concept album.

Pretty Vacant
Liar
No Feelings
New York
God Save The Queen
Sum-Mission
EMI
Anarchy In The UK
Problems
Holidays In The Sun
Bodies

33 1/3 RPM

[Spanishbomb808]

My choices (in no particular order):
Led Zeppelin- Led Zeppelin II
Led Zeppelin- Led Zepplin IV/ Untitled/ SoZo/Four Symbols (You know which one I mean!)
The Clash- The Clash (US Version)
The Clash- London Calling
Van Halen- Van Halen
Ramones- Ramones
Beastie Boys- Paul's Boutique

Yeah, those are great.

London Calling would, by far, be the greatest of all these were it not for "Death or glory" and "four horsemen."

[Brass_Munkey]

TT5B-Beastie Boys
RATM-Battle of LA

[Grasshopper]

Sonic Youth's "Dirty"

Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds "Your Funeral, My Trial"

Tom Waits' "Bone Machine"

AC/DC's "Powerage"

Motorhead's "Ace of Spades"

Beasties "Paul's Boutique"

The Pogues' "Rum, Sodomy, and the Lash"

[Mr Films]

nice, my thread lives.

oh and- Secret Machines "Now Here is NowherE"

[ASHLEY]

The Smiths - Greatest Hits

[Grasshopper]

The Smiths - Greatest Hits

so did you see morrissey??


Not that huge of a Smiths fan. What do you think of The Divine Comedy.



I will add one more to keep in topic =>

Pulp "A Different Class"

[suicide sam]

Cornershop - when I was born for the 7th time
Beck - Odelay
Tom Petty - Wild Flowers
the Doors - self titled
Plastilina Mosh - Aquamosh

it is hard to name all the perfect albums, but there are a few I like.

[Darko]

Paul's Boutique is definetely perfect. I've heard it so many times, after so many years, and I'm still finding new things I love in it. That's a sign of a classic.

Same with London Calling. Songs like 'Four Horseman' and 'Lovers Rock' that I used to skip, I find more and more interesting as time goes by. It never gets boring listening to it, no matter how many times I've heard it.

Honourable mentions go to Radiohead's Kid A, Modest Mouse's The Moon and Antartica, and The Street's A Grand Don't Come For Free, 3 albums that I think will get better with age.

[DroppinScience]

I gotta say that "Violator" by Depeche Mode is PERFECT.

"Pretty Hate Machine" by Nine Inch Nails doesn't have a weak moment.

There are obviously plenty more, but a bunch of them have already been mentioned in this thread (i.e. Clash, Sex Pistols, Nirvana, Radiohead, etc.)

[DroppinScience]

Oh yes and Operation Ivy's one and only album has no filler either. (y)

[dave790]

...I find more and more interesting as time goes by. It never gets boring listening to it, no matter how many times I've heard it.



I love records like that, London Calling being a good example.

Mine are:

Beastie Boys - Paul's Boutique
Beastie Boys - Check Your Head
Beastie Boys - Ill Communication
Sublime - Sublime
Jimmy Eat World - Clarity
Cypress Hill - Black Sunday
Terrorvision - How To Make Friends And Influence People
Terrorvsion - Regular Urban Survivors
The Clash - London Calling
Everclear - So Much For The Afterglow
Offspring - Smash
Nas - Illmatic
Prodigy - Music For The Jilted Generation
Ultramagnetic MC's - Critical Breakdown
Manic Street Preachers - The Holy Bible
Oasis - Definitely Maybe
Oasis - Morning Glory

Hmmm I think at a push i'd say some of these aren't actually perfect...but some of my favourite records anyway. I'd also mention Insomniac by Green Day and The Score by the Fugees.

dave

[Sandinista!]

My choices (in no particular order):
Led Zeppelin- Led Zeppelin II

The Clash- The Clash (US Version)
The Clash- London Calling
Van Halen- Van Halen
Ramones- Ramones
Beastie Boys- Paul's Boutique

Yeah, those are great.

London Calling would, by far, be the greatest of all these were it not for "Death or glory" and "four horsemen."

Oh Walter, how you valued consistency.

Anyhoo, currently the list goes as so:

Beastie Boys- Paul's Boutique
New Order- Technique
The Cure- Disintegration

Note how these are all from 1989.

KISS "Alive!" is awesome ! (y)

most recently Muse- Origin of Symmetry

[Kid Presentable]

That album is terrible. I remember my friend bought it and we took a listen to it. What trash. Just continued to prove how overrated they are.
Truth. (y)

[Waus]

Perfect or not, these are some albums I came back to after pigeonholing and enjoy every single song on.

The Eels - Shootenanny!
Elliott Smith - Either/Or
The Vines - Highly Evolved

[icy manipulator]

That album is terrible. I remember my friend bought it and we took a listen to it. What trash. Just continued to prove how overrated they are.

[ToucanSpam]

\m/

[abcdefz]

I'm pretty fucking harsh about "perfect." I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE HEART HEART HEART some of those albums above, but I wouldn't call 'em "perfect." I think there are hardly any "perfect" albums.

But the candidates are:

Carlos Klieber's Deutcshe Grammafone version of Beethoven's 5th (forgive all the bad spelling)

Charles Mingus - The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady

Paul Simon- Graceland

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers - Damn the Torpedoes

Sensational Nightengales - You Know Not the Hour

[abcdefz]

If they were perfect, they would have come to me already.

Plus, you're on my ignore list, Norcen, so hush. :D

[abcdefz]

...actually, this Brandy CD is perfect, in its way.

[Lex Diamonds]

The Stone Roses
Marshall Mathers LP
Paul's Boutique
Definitely Maybe
ETW: 36 Chambers

^ no bad songs in there (y)

[adrockmelanie]

at the drive-in - relationship of command
the mars volta - deloused in the comatorium

[ToucanSpam]

the mars volta - deloused in the comatorium
I disagree because the 4 or 5 minutes of wierd noises and nothingness drive me crazy.

[abcdefz]

YOU"RE SO ARROGANT!SOARROGANT!IHATEYOUHATEYOUHATEYOU! SMELLYFEET!!@!@



I also really dig this SMELLYFEET!!@!@ album, but strongly prefer debut, Planters Warts.


But I don't think you could really argue that either one is perfect.

[g-mile7]

Me Against The World...and Illmatic in terms of rap.
1999,Purple Rain and Sign o' the Times by Prince are really solid lps


perfect in my opinion in terms of impact,sound,and each track flowing/connecting to the next perfectly in terms of sound/lyrics

[abcdefz]

You're a punk...



Nah. If I were a punk, I'd either be bending over for boys in the alley or making reactionary claims about the Angry Samoans' greatness, depending on the era.

Or I'd be a small piece of burning rope used to light fuses (I think)...?

[icy manipulator]

any bob marley cd, if you're bent out of your head of course :p

[grooveboy]

perfect...well,it`s tough one but still..

primus-sailing the seas of cheese

I always thought 'Experiacne' was pretty damn perfect, as a sort of rave concept record.

And good call on the Holy Bible by the Manics, so perfect it chills me!

[Darko]

'The Soft Bulletin' by the Flaming Lips is pretty much perfect. One of the best pop albums ever made.
