"Perfect" albums

[Badger]

Geez, what a sad, sad listing.

Here you go. 23 minutes of pure musical perfection: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_vggLO93fTg

Meh. Not bad I guess.

..And Justice for All - Metallica

Great choice. Completely original sound with very little bass.

The Black album is also a great one as well considering the style change.

Meh, for as many good songs as it has, it's still overrated due to the tremendous amount of filler on it. About 5 out of 12 songs. Granted the 7 others are incredible, but when about a third of the album is purely worth skipping, it doesn't near qualify as a "perfect" album".

Let's see.

Led Zep 2 and 4, also arguably 1.

Pink Ployd: Dark Side, WYWH, and (underrated choice) Meddle

Son Volt: Trace. I could (and have) listen to that album weekly for months at a time.

Yes: Four consecutive albums--The Yes Album, Fragile, Close to the Edge, and Tales from Topographic Oceans

Hot take: The Beatles never had what could be considered "a perfect album" from the studio due to filler. That even includes (GASP!) Sgt. Pepper's.

Second Hot take: I don't care about those who say it's awful, cheating, whatever to exclude compilation/best of albums. So with that, I offer you the Beatles 1962-65 ("The Red Album") and 1966-69 ("The Blue Album").

Soundgarden Badmotorfinger (even better than Superunknown).

Pearl Jam: Ten (close, but arguable).

Nirvana: Nevermind

Others I'll think of later....

Later....

Time Out by Dave Brubeck Quartet

Nevermind the Bullocks, Sex Pistols (a maligned choice, I know)

Separation Sunday by The Hold Steady

And yeah, despite the MASSIVE radio overplay it gets, I agree with Deadman re: AC/DC Back in Black.

My Bloody Valentine, Loveless

Smashing Pumpkins, Gish, Siamese Dream arguably

(BRTD TRIGGER WARNING): Kanye West, The College Dropout

While "Go Your Own Way" is Fleetwood Mac's best song, Tusk is their best (perfect) album pretty much for the same reasons that Exile on Main Street is the best (perfect) Stones album.

Albums were greater than their individual parts.  I kind of wonder in this day and technological age if any artists still obsess over the track order anymore as so little music is listened to that way.

Personally, I feel the Christy McVie ballads, Songbird, and Oh, Daddy keep Rumours from perfection.

Somehow completely forgot Jimi Hendrix, are you experienced
