Perfect Solo Album:

Hirasawa Susumu - Siren:

And OP Ivy needs to be somewhere in this thread:

I have all of the Hot Snakes albums and enjoy them greatly, but I don't know that I consider any "perfect". Still, more people should listen.

I think that as rock 'n' roll albums, they work perfectly... they're short, they're to the point, and every song is fucking killer. Both Suicide Invoice and Audit in Progress are completely devastating. Diff'rent strokes, though, right? :>

I'm too lazy to post album covers.

Weezer - Weezer (Blue), Pinkerton
Ben Folds Five - Self-Titled
Elliott Smith - XO, Either/Or
Radiohead - OK Computer
Oasis - What's the Story Morning Glory
The Books - The Lemon of Pink
Blur - The Great Escape, Parklife
Spiritualized - Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating in Space
Travis - The Man Who
Pavement - Terror Twilight
Four Tet - Rounds
My Bloody Valentine - Loveless
Wilco - YHF, Summerteeth, Being There, AGIB (in that order)
Harry Connick, Jr. - When Harry Met Sally Soundtrack
Broken Social Scene - You Forgot It In People
Stars - Heart, Set Yourself on Fire, Nightsongs (3 for 3!)

i'm sure there are more...but that's all i can think of right now.

 

[Diablos]

Wilco - YHF, Summerteeth, Being There, AGIB (in that order)

Say it ain't so.

 

[smirkrevenge]

just because i put AGIB last doesn't mean it's not a fantastic album. but i think wilco suffered from the KID A syndrome...but just not as bad as radiohead. it is just impossible to follow-up one of the greatest albums of all time.

all the tracks on YHF are flawless IMO...but kidsmoke ruins it for AGIB. but the other tracks...awesome. love them. it's not a harsh judgment...really.

 

[Lambtron]

I pretty much agree with him, Diablos, except that I'd put Summer above YHF... just barely, though. You lose this round, homie.

And Bobby with some Ween lovin'. He knows what's up (and has for a long time)! I should go get Ferociously Stoned out, goddamn, good thought.

Another recommendation for Royköpp's "Melody A.M." and dZihan + Kamien's "Gran Riserva".
