the perfect rock, alternative or pop album
these genres have been known to have many records where there are only two or three good songs on the disk, and the rest of the songs are lame.
but the perfect album is totally great all the way through.
aside from Sgt. Peppers and Tapestry, what other albums do you think are perfect, or, nearly perfect? please include release date, if you know it.
my list includes:
The Used The Used 2002 (Perfect)
Nico Chelsea Girls 1967 (nearly perfect)
Throwing Muses University 1995 (nearly perfect)
Chevelle Wonder What's Next 2002 (nearly perfect)
Lou Reed/John Cale Songs for Drella 1990 (nearly perfect)
Beth Orton Pass In Time 2003 (nearly perfect)
Kate Bush Hounds of Love 1985 (Perfect)
Tool Aenima 1996 (nearly perfect)
yup. that's the one. it's really good, especially when you're depressed! how's the vinyl holding up?
Mr. Bob Dylan
| Highway61 revisited | | 1965 |
| Blonde on Blonde | | 1966 |
| John Wesley Harding | | 1967 |
| planet waves | | 1974 |
| blood on the tracks | | 1975 |
| street legal | | 1978 |
His throw aways are better than most people's best
oh, hi, R.,
did you see Scorsese's excellent documentary about Dylan?
I agree Ell, Hounds of Love is a GREAT album. I absolutley love "And Dream of Sheep"!
But my other favorite album would have to be From the Choirgirl Hotel-Tori Amos
i used to dislike Tori because i thought she sounded too much like Kate Bush. but now i really like her. and she's friends with Maynard, from Tool.

Yep. I got the soundtrack too. It's got some good outtakes of 'visions of johanna' and 'desolation row'.
I've heard of the Carole King Tapestry record, but never got my hands on it.
Yeah, they do sound alot alike. But I think they're music is much different. And the only reason my brother awknowledges Tori is because he likes Tool. :D
(i don't like sergeant pepper - i think the beatles did better albums themselves, like revolver)
What? No one has mentioned the all time wonder:
Dark Side of the Moon by Pink Floyd.
That was in the top of the album charts for decades. No other album has had such staying power.
It's still amazing.
I should get it out and play it on the new "hifi" ;)
Cindi

I can understand the bob dylan/lou reed one. "Sweet Jane" is similar to dylan's style especially in the live version. I've always made a connection.
Circa Survive - Juturna
This is one of the best all around records I have ever heard.
Love always,
Elizabeth
Darkside of the Moon, Highway 61 Revisted, American Beauty by the Grateful Dead or even Workingman's Dead, and Abbey Road, oh and of course Cheap Thrills
My favorite psychedelic masterpieces are Piper at the Gates of Dawn by Pink Floyd, Aoxomoxoa, After Bathing at Baxters by Jefferson Airplane, and Revolver
Too many others to name. :laugh:
My Chemical Romance - Black Parade Album is a brilliant album I love it!

Have you seen Roger Waters live by any chance? The past year he has been touring and playing Darkside of the Moon in its entirety in the second set. He also played other great Floyd classics. Probably the best concert I've seen, saw him once in 06, and saw the same show again a couple of months ago (well a quarter of the show at least lol) Great concert!!
Generally conceded within the music industry to be the most perfect album ever...
Pet Sounds by the Beach Boys released May 16th, 1966.
(One of the studio session musicians on the album was a guy named Glen Campbell.)
Beverly
ooo yes how could I forget Pet Sounds, its like the Rubber Soul or Revolver for The Beach Boys imo.
Perfect pop album
American Doll Posse by Tori Amos
Perfect Country/rock Album
My december by Kelly Clarkson
Perfect teen pop album
High School Musical 2
For me, the perfect album is the No Doubt singles Mix, it has almost all their best work.
Joe's Garage (acts I and acts II & III)
Frank Zappa 1979
the last imaginary guitar solo is always perfect, like *nothing* else
