Albums that are perfect, note for note

None of my favorite albums are "perfect".




I think "perfect" is an interesting filter... I love the Beatles and the Kinks, for instance, but I couldn't think of an album by either that doesn't have at least one track I dislike (let alone one note).




Sayin'. I was trying to think of a Kinks album, but they're really more about a wide breadth of quality material. Even Village Green has some clunkers.

agreed... without the track lists in front of me, I'd venture that Muswell Hillbillies is probably their closest to a perfect album -- but still decidedly not perfect, and certainly not my favorite. Something Else may do it for some, but I'm in the minority (I think) in disliking both David Watts and Death of a Clown.

Yeah. And no tracks where you'd say "I really like that song, but they could have wrapped it up a minute or two earlier."
 
if it's just 'perfect' albums and ones you necessarily enjoy, you'd have to include the super pop mega smash 50 platinum ones like fugees the score, alanis morisettes 'jagged little pill' and def leppards 'hysteria' though..... double digit single releases on one album is some heavy shit.





weezer blue album?

By that standard, I'd definitely include Moby Grape's self-titled debut, even though none of the (five?) singles released were hits. And it is most assuredly something I've played and enjoyed numerous times.

enjoy it? j'adore it!





but really though, 25 million copies moved with 90% of singles going to radio would imply that alot of people found it to be perfect.

Love, love, LOVE Jagged Little Pill. Came out at the right time and everytime I revisit it I think back to the summer of 96. Blue Album is another perfect album to me. From beginning to end it was just great music. For me, the perfect album is an album that you can play from beginning to end without having to think about skipping a track. Maybe REPEATING the track or tracks, but never skipping them. Plus, I think an album is perfect if it makes you feel just as good every time you revisit it as you did when you first heard it. There have been other albums that I think are perfect that some have already listed, but I'll list a few others that I thoroughly enjoy.





Radiohead- OK Computer and Kid A (Amnesiac is close, but not quite in my opinion)


Dorothy Ashby- Hip Harp


Bill Evans- Sunday At The Village Vanguard


Vince Guaraldi- In Person and A Charlie Brown Christmas


Carole King- Tapestry and Music


Devo- Are We Not Men? We Are Devo!


Pink Floyd- Saucerful Of Secrets (I would go with Dark Side or The Wall, but I'm sure someone else will come up with that)


Black Sabbath- Paranoid


Bee Gees- Saturday Night Fever (yeah, I like the Bee Gees)


Free Design- Kites Are Fun and Heaven/Earth


Simon and Garfunkel- Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme and Sounds Of Silence


Captain Beefheart- Safe As Milk





I'm sure there are plenty more, but those are the ones I could think of at the moment.

Wow.
 
HA! How could I forget Van Morrison?! Astral Weeks is the complete. I also love Moondance and Tupelo Honey.





Oh, yeah. And Donovan's Hurdy Gurdy Man.
