Perfect albums

[Alex28]

No Code? Bwahahahahaha

It has nothing on Ten, Vs and the album that is too often forgotten but is superb Vitalogy. Nothing against No Code, it's okay, but not their best.

I don't think there is really a "perfect" Pearl Jam record - Ten and Versus are overrated, Vitalogy is as close as it gets but fails because of the debacle of a song "heyfoxymama..." is - what a waste of space that song is. The other albums are good, but there are songs I certainly skip...

And I'll hear no bad words of Wilco (being alt. country and all) - Yankee Hotel Foxtrot is about as perfect as an album gets.

Im a girl of the eighties and thus love bon jovi...runaway is a classic.

Ten is by far the best pearl jam album IMO. Followed by Vs then vitalogy...

I also just want to say another one i can listen to over and over all the way through is

Fruitcakes - Jimmy Buffett

Fruitcakes - Jimmy Buffett

Arggghh shiver me timbers ..it's a parrot head!

nibbling on sponge cake
watchin the sun bake
all those tourists covered in oil

 

[les norton]

I hope your not mocking me sir!!

He's a classic.

I don't know if you'd call it the perfect album, but if you want a musical experience unlike any other you've had, I strongly recommed listening to Mr Bungle's self titled 1991 album- 10 tracks in all, but every song is completely different, and 70 minutes of pure genius! Mike Patton is awesome!

I hope your not mocking me sir!!

He's a classic.

My pencil thin moustache and blown out flip flops would never mock the great man who is living and dying in 3/4 time.

There is enough room for sir Jimmy buffet in everyone's cd collection.

An old fisherman got me onto him and I will always listen to him.

Mooloolabah's Hog's Breath cafe had a whole shrine devoted to him.

Faith No More - The Real Thing
Faith No More - Angel Dust
The Mars Volta - De-loused in the Comatorium
Metallica - Ride the Lightning (although I probably prefer KEA)
Iron Maiden - Powerslave
Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here
Opeth - Blackwater Park
Venom - Black Metal


I don't find any filler or them.

 

[HevyDevy]

Great list Tiger Pride.

I still prefer Opeth's Morningrise but BWP is very under-rated

 

[salivor]

Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band - The Beatles
Nevermind - Nirvana
(Whats the story) Morning Glory - Oasis
Disraeli Gears - Cream
Electric Ladyland - Jimi Hendrix
Led Zeppelin IV - Led Zeppelin
Dark Side of the Moon - Pink Floyd
Blood on the Tracks - Bob Dylan

And on and on and on.

 

[Darth Bobo]

Pantera - Vulgar display of Power
Motley Crue - Dr Feelgood
Slayer - Reign in Blood
Metallica - Master of Puppets
Faith no More - King for a day
Black Sabbath - Paranoid

The first one I always think of when all time greats are mentioned. Every song a classic and spawned/influenced a genre I'd be lost without.

Not sure of Sabbath's influence on the Crue but Faith No More were huge Sabbath fans, the drummer even filled in for them when Bill Ward wasn't up to it and said it was dream come true. Metallica (mainly Lars) were hugely influenced by the NWOBHM which Sabbath opened the door for. Slayer and Pantera are other bands that sight the mighty Sabbath as an influence and they've both covered more than 1 of thier songs and that is just the band on your list, they influenced many more.

Without doubt it's a masterpiece, not only for the music which is still great to listen to, but the legacy it left.

Im my opinion, Paranoid by Black Sabbath is THE perfect album.

Jeff Buckley - Grace

Other great albums but nothing as good as grace

 

[SpaceMonkey]

Faith No More - The Real Thing
Faith No More - Angel Dust
Iron Maiden - Powerslave
Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here

I'll pay all four of those.

Listening to it now actually. Quality

Sorry, but Planet Caravan is absolute trash. The one great, hideous scar on an otherwise perfect album.

 

[HevyDevy]

Sacrilege Dread, sacrilege!!!!!!!!!!!

Planet Caravan is certainly different but I love the dominant bass line.

And it's atmospheric which is generally the thing that 'gets' me when it comes to music.

 

[Dread]

I stand by my claim that Paranoid is not a perfect album... ;-)

I am going to have to retract Ride the Lightning from this list after realising that terrible song 'Escape' is on this album. I don't think any Metallica album is 'perfect' actually. KEA really has no filler, but not many people like it, and Master of Puppets has 'The Thing That Should Not Be', crap song.

 

[waltzing Meninga]

Planet Caravan is one of the best songs on the Paranoid album!!!! Toni Iommi's guitar work at the end is amazing.

Kill em All is my favourite metallica album but I don't think it is perfect. none of their albums are.

I think Pantera's Vulgar display of Power is pretty close to perfect.
