List perfect albums, start to finish...

[oujala]

...albums with no filler.

The Disturbed/Green Day thread got me thinking about how diverse people are on music and the weird range that I have (being a metal dude).

So, this should get everybody knowing each other just that little bit more. Some of us may find some new music to listen to as well!

Here comes some albums off the top of my head that I feel are perfect in what they set out to do, start to finish:

A Hard Day's Night - The Beatles

Revolver - The Beatles

Sgt. Pepper - The Beatles

Dark Side of the Moon - Pink Floyd

Metallica - ...And Justice For All

Metallica - Load

Kelly Clarkson - Breakaway

Fergie - The Dutchess

Sleigh Bells - Treats

NIN - Year Zero



Wow, typing that out does look weird, ha. Some blasphemy on there, I know, but i was very strict with my idea of perfect. I do not skip tracks on these records. I love Master of Puppets for instance, but the middle of the album can drag.

What are your perfect albums?

Daft Punk - Discovery

Queen - Night at the Opera

Alphabeat - The Beat Is

Electric Six - Fire

La Roux - La Roux

[Eveningarwen]

Tenacious D - I'm just sayin, I laugh my ass off every time I listen to that album. And I enjoy the music. Even after listening it to years I never skip a track.

 

[JonnyAmateur]

Orbital - The brown album
Lowest of the Low - Shakespeare my butt
The tragically Hip - Day For Night
The tragically Hip - Phantom Power
The tragically Hip - Road Apples

Most Canucks will be familiar with the Hip (sorry if I left any out...) but I highly recommend these guys to anyone. Best kept secret in Canada.

 

[SSgt Burton]

Isis - Panopticon
Alice in Chains - Jar of Flies EP

I can, and do listen to every one of those albums, start to finish in a sitting numerous times every year. Most of them monthly.

 

[Paul Andrew]

The Beatles - Abbey Road

Dan Fogelberg - The Innocent Age and Windows and Walls (I get this from my old man :lol)

Jack Johnson - In Between Dreams

James Taylor - That's Why I'm Here (also get this from pops)

Pearl Jam - VS

 

[jlee562]

The Clash - London Calling
Blink 182 - Blink 182

[Amish Trooper]

Skinny Puppy: Cleanse Fold and Manipulate
Dropkick Murphys : Do or Die
The Cure: Mixed Up
The Sisters of Mercy:First and Last and Always
Hank III: Bootleg 1

 

[Cookiee Monsta]

Rodney Rude - Live

 

[Larry Young]

+1, and even more awesome in its achievement as it's all not-finished LIFEHOUSE.

 

[micdavis]

Darkside of the Moon, of course.

Wish You Were Here (The Floyd follow-up to Darkside)

Who's Next.

Star Wars Soundtrack

Sgt. Pepper (I guess)

Hundred Year Hall (Grateful Dead Live)

A Night at the Opera (Queen)

An Evening with John Denver

Barry Manilow Live (yeah I said it). I got feelings too you know. Not many but still.

....and begrudgingly leaving behind the creepyness of the "artist", I'll go with Thriller. Because he made it before he turned the corner into a total wack-a-doodle.

 

[Supa troop]

Red Hot Chilli Pepeprs - By The way

Stevie Wonder - Hotter than July

Blondie - Parallel Lines

Beatles - Help

Beatles - Sgt Peppers

Prince - Sign o the times

Pink Floyd - Dark side of the Moon

Fleetwood Mac - Rumours. .............. greatest album period ever

 

[Nexus6]

Off the top of my head:

Guns 'N' Roses: Appetite for Destruction
Garbage: Version 2.0
Pearl Jam: Ten
30 Seconds to Mars: A Beautiful Lie
Pink: Funhouse
AC-DC: Back in Black
Queensryche: Operation Mindcrime

 

[Qui-Gonzalez]

Metallica - Ride the Lightning
Van Halen - Van Halen
Yngwie Malmsteen - Odyssey
Metallica - Master of Puppets
Prince - Purple Rain
Pantera - Vulgar Display of Power
AC-DC - Back in Black

It's really hard to hit that perfect album. There are bands that I love that are not listed that I have to pick and choose songs from like Queen, The Temptations, Smokey Robinson, Daryl Hall and John Oates, Stevie Wonder, Elton John...I could go on for a few sentences here. The albums above I can listen to from start to finish and not want to skip one single song.
