Title: Perfect Albums?
Post by: Seagoon on March 04, 2005, 12:06:29 AM: Hi all,

What to your mind are your favorite "perfect albums" - i.e. great albums, not compilations, without any rotten songs on them that you skip to the next track on.

Came up in a conversation this evening. A few of the ones that stood out in my mind where:

1) Jimi Hendrix: Are You Experienced
2) The Who: Who's Next
3) Led Zeppelin: Led Zeppelin IV
4) Pink Floyd: Dark Side of the Moon
5) Pink Floyd: The Wall
6) Peter Gabriel: Peter Gabriel 3
7) Lynyrd Skynyrd: Pronounced Leh-Nerd Skin-Nerd

Post by: Chairboy on March 04, 2005, 12:36:43 PM: Here's one y'all have never heard of. Absolute crafted perfection, without a single spoken/sung word:

Global Communications - "Pentamorous Metamorphosis"

Here's the Amazon page with samples: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B000006C9U/104-3427883-2812726?v=glance
The samples are ok, but the song build on themselves as time passes, and turn into something incredible.

Post by: -dead- on March 04, 2005, 01:48:31 PM: Captain Lockheed & The Starfighters by Robert Calvert

In A Silent Way by Miles Davis

Funkadelic by Funkadelic

No Remorse by Motorhead

Super Session by Bloomfield, Kooper & Stills

Mezzanine by Massive Attack

album (or compact disc or cassette) by Public Image Limited - this would get in the list on artwork/concept alone, but the songs are great too. The tour was called 'tour', the single was either 'single' or '12 inch single', the t-shirt just said 't-shirt', the badge just said 'badge', the poster just said 'poster'.

Ege Bamyasi by Can

Locust Abortion Technician by The Butthole Surfers

Rattus Norvegicus by The Stranglers

Nighthawks at The Diner by Tom Waits

Selected Ambient Works Volume I by Aphex Twin

Electric Ladyland by the Jimi Hendrix Experience

and every single album the Fall has ever made
Title: Perfect Albums?
Post by: Yeager on March 04, 2005, 01:58:59 PM: Close to the Edge is the best studio recording ever made. Moving Pictures comes a close second with Sgt Pepper very nearby. Somewhere way back there in the noise is Twisted Sister.
Title: Perfect Albums?
Post by: Thrawn on March 04, 2005, 02:01:34 PM: So by Peter Gabriel.

Synchonicity by The Police.

Between the Breaks by Stan Rogers.

Fleetwood mack; Rumours

Ah, the third version of the band. Try "The Boston Tea Party" by the original Fleetwood Mac. First song is sung by the person that wrote it(Black Magic Woman), not Santana.

:cool:
