It's not about cheesiness. I like Paramore quite alright, I just don't think they've ever put out a good album. Now, whenever they put out a Greatest Hits it's a day-1 deal for me, credibility be damned

I agree with these.
For Air I am more partial to Talkie Walkie than Moon Safari.

Veto.
I also hereby withdraw my Paramore veto and veto this.

My man. Alone in Kyoto blows my mind every time I listen to it.

I think music is one of the most subjective art forms. At least with movies it is easier to determine when something is good or bad. Sure taste has a lot to do with it, but a great performance is easier to differentiate from a terrible one. With music it is all too subjective; since it's basically sound. What sounds catchy/good/interesting to some might not to others. Maybe I have it all wrong though 
For example, I love Revolution 9
It is basically a bit pointless to discuss music

It always sounded, to me, like he bowed low to the protest movement. Gave them one album so that they could fuck right off. Another Side of was a 180 right after.
That quite possibly is my all time favorite song. It's a tradition I listen to it every time I ride the shinkansen as well.

Megadeth: Rust in Peace
The best goddamned thrash album of all time, and possibly the overall best Metal album of all time. The epitome of short (barely 30 minutes in length) but sweet, this album has no filler; no unnecessary moments. If this album were any tighter, it'd crack the CD it comes in. Each song has so many amazing, off-the wall, intricate but still heavy as shit, bang your coconuts riffs that you could pick 3 at random and make a whole album out of them. Even the weakest track (Lucretia) is better than 99% of all thrash. The arrangemtents are ambitious but uncompromising and show that metal can be intelligent, complex, calculating and precise without losing its teeth and its razorsharp aggressiveness and most importantly, without falling into the pretentious and bloated trappings of prog-rock.
Marty Friedman's laberynthine solos and vibrato are an exquisite yang to Mustaine's angry, shreddy yin, and Nick Menza's clockwork drumming infuses the song with a jazzy sensibility that somehow fits thrash perfectly.
It's a pity that the band would slip into a downward spiral after this. Countdown to Extinction is as best mediocre, domesticated and predictable metal that reeks of mainstream compromise. Youthanasia is such a soulless, bland, colorless, written-for-radio piece of sellout trash that it's almost incredible that it was written by the same people who made RIP.
I also consider Miles Davis's Kind of Blue to be equally perfect. I wrote a couple of paragraphs about it but I lost them (stupid Evernote -.-) and I don't feel like typing them again.

Discharge my payload a mile high

The tombstone version was non stop in my discman the time it was released.
i get a virus warning in this thread 
Anyway, perfect album is very differnt from favourite album for me, as most of my favourite albums have songs that I don´t really want in there.

St. Vincent - Marry Me
This is a thing of beauty, start to finish. Seeing her live was my personal musical highlight of 2012.
Perfume Genius - Put Your Back N 2 It
It truly feels like there´s nothing Hadreas is hiding in this record.
