The National - Alligator
Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon
The Rolling Stones - Exile on Main Street
The Beatles - Rubber Soul
Radiohead - OK Computer

Wilco - Yankee Hotel Foxtrot
Bruce Springsteen - Born To Run

Gonna get some stick, but albums where I've liked every song

Madonna - Confessions on a Dancefloor
Lana Del Rey - Born to Die (actually anything she's ever released tbh)
Nelly Furtado - Loose

 

[EVOL 100%]

awesomestuff

Fuck yes.

 

[LuCkymoON]

Every album Seal has released.
I think the only album of his that wasn't perfect is System and that's because of that trash song he did with Heidi Klum called Wedding Day.

 

[ZeroRay]

Most of my favs are listed in picture form BUT NOT THIS. For shame, GAF.

 

[echoshifting]

I could probably name 50 albums that have already been mentioned, but you guys seem to have it covered. However, you did miss:

MuteMath - MuteMath

 

[Ixion]

Beach Boys - Pet Sounds

Coheed & Cambria - From Fear Through The Eyes Of Madness

David Bowie - The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust And The Spiders From Mars

David Bowie - Low

[Mr Solo Dolo]

Burial - Untrue

 

[RhombusPrime]

Animal Collective - Merriweather Post Pavillion

I've probably listened straight through a few hundred times and it's always awesome. Really disappointed with their new album in comparison.

 

[ErasureAcer]

Erasure- I Say, I Say, I Say

 

[gimmmick]

Spoiler

Acthung Baby by U2

That's my favorite album of all time.

 

[TinMachine]

This is the only one:

Sir, in my oppinion, you have exquisite taste. My choice as well.

 

[Uno Venova]

There would be a few more if I put in mixtapes.

 

[erlim]

 

[MattKeil]

 

[The Power Of Snap]

 

[Darth Sonik]

Fleetwood Mac - all the Buckingham/Nicks era albums are great.

Rumours - with Silver Spring.
Tusk - perfect double album.


Radiohead - My favourite band.

Kid A.
In Rainbows - only when including disk 2.


Kate Bush - I love all her albums.

Hounds of Love - I just prefer A Kick Inside but Hounds is a more perfect album.
Aerial - after so long away, a beautiful return.

 

[Meatfist]

only 3 songs on this album, and each one is a masterpiece

 

[Steamlord]

And another:

The Fiery Furnaces - Blueberry Boat

Nice, that's my favorite YYYs album.

 

[VariantX04]

Far too many musicians include fillers in their albums and they completely acknowledge it. It's a damn shame.

 

[spink]

Megadeth: Rust in Peace

you're right. the epitome of thrash metal. better than anything Metallica could muster.

Boris: Feedbacker

Boris: Dronevil

Boris: Heavy Rocks

toe: the book about my idle plot on a vague anxiety

Tera Melos: Drugs To The Dear Youth

Godspeed You! Black Emperor: Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas To Heaven

Kayo Dot: Choirs of the Eye

Lurker of Chalice: Lurker of Chalice

I could go on and on

 

[Sai-kun]

Above & Beyond's debut album Tri-State. Literally a perfect album.

 

[Charles Foster Kane]

Most of my favs are listed in picture form BUT NOT THIS. For shame, GAF.

I mentioned it on my first post

 

[PaleFolklore]

Fleet Foxes

Dexter Gordon - GO

St. Vincent - Strange Mercy

 

[Typographenia]

Good call. I would add OK Computer and The Verve's Urban Hymns as well as The Stone Roses to the list..

You keep giving me more reasons to consider you a favorite poster on this forum. : )

Yeah I like Oasis

And rightly so!

Really glad to see the love around here for The Masterplan. Fantastic album.

 

[Kjellson]

There are a lot imo, but here's one that has not yet been mentioned (I think):

"White Light/White Heat" is The Velvet Underground's best album.

 

[ledman]

 

[Soma]

Not a particularly well known album but to me

The Flashbulb's Soundtrack To A Vacant Life is a perfect album in my eyes. 70 minutes long though it's one of the only albums where I'm just compelled to listen to it from beginning to end. I suppose another part of my bias is that I first listened to it at a very pivotal point in my life and the title alone was just very apt. Great stuff.

 

[flyover]

There is a "Classic Albums" episode about the making of this LP (available on Netflix) that is amazing. Easily the best episode of what's already a great show.

David Bowie - The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust And The Spiders From Mars

This is my vote, too. It's not my favorite album (though it's up there). But it's the most perfect album, start to finish. There are no low points. The only other album that compares for me is The Boomtown Rats' The Fine Art of Surfacing:

 

[Cuban Legend]

MUSE (OOS, Showbiz, Newton Abbot Demo)

E-603 (Something for Everyone) Royksopp (Melody A.M.) JUSTICE (Cross)

Kanye West (College Dropout, Late Registration, Graduation)

 

[yepyepyep]

My Bloody Valentine-Loveless
Liars-Drum's Not Dead
Set Fire To Flames-Sings Reign Rebuilder
Joanna Newsom-Ys
Swans-Filth
Can-Future Days
Pixies-Surfer Rosa
Sonic Youth-EVOL

 

[revolverjgw]

Tuxedomoon- Half Mute
Beach House- Teen Dream
Autechre- Draft 7.30
Harpers Bizarre- Feelin' Groovy
The Beatles- The Beatles
Olivia Tremor Control- Dusk at Cubist Castle
The Smiths- The Queen is Dead
The Band- The Band
The Soft Boys- Underwater Moonlight

 

[ThanksVision]

Ignoring some of the obvious choices (Pet Sounds, Loveless, Nevermind, Kid A, etc.)

 

[Kad5]

TURN THAT SHIT UP MY CLAN IN DA FRONT WANT IT

 

[kingmozo9]

LOTS of albums...

what im listening to now is pretty perfect

 

[cousins]

Way too much Radiohead in this thread

 

[Kad5]

Way too much Radiohead in this thread

Well its definitely deserved but it HAS sort of gotten to the point where it sort of goes without saying.

 

[KidA Seven]

Way too much Radiohead in this thread

 

[NinjaBoiX]

BOOM!

 

[forknknife]

Just taking some records from my last fm most listened

Death in June "Rose Clouds of Holocaust"

Converge "Axe to Fall"

Crowbar "S/T"

Cult of Luna "somewhere along the highway"

His Hero is Gone "Monuments to Thieves"

Talk Talk "Laughing Stock"

Unwound "Repetition"

Helmet "Meantime"

Burzum "Filosofem"

Somebody stop meeeeeee!


And, yeah, some of you guys have horrible taste

 

[Nizz]

Been mentioned here before but off the top of my head two albums that are just about perfect are

Enter The Wu-Tang: 36 Chambers
Raekwon- Only Built 4 Cuban Linx

NinjaBoiX, you check your pm?

 

[cousins]

What makes their albums so great? I've always thought they were just average. Well, OK Computer was slightly above average.
