Practically Perfect Albums (or CDs)

I believe Coldplay only released 1 good CD, and that was a "A Rush of Blood to the head"

Agree with suggestions of Nirvana's Nevermind, Jeff Buckley's Grace and The Beatles' Abbey Road.

Some CDs I think are Practically Perfect:-
Radiohead - Okay Computer
Radiohead - The Bends
The Strokes - This is it
Arctic Monkeys - Whatever People Say I am, that's what I am not
Regurgitator - UNIT
Powderfinger - Internationalist

 

These.

 

Dark Side of the Moon - Pink Floyd
Sabotage - Black Sabbath
Master of Puppets - Metallica
Far Beyond Driven - Pantera
Blast Tyrant - Clutch
Ænima - Tool

 

I can't believe I didn't think of Boston.

 

And Born To Run, surely.

 

No More Shall We Part, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds
Graceland, Paul Simon

 

Wow, graceland, should have thought of that! Played that album for over a year!

 

King for a Day, Fool for a Lifetime - Faith No More.
Dirt - Alice in Chains

 

"Ten" by Pearl Jam

Can I count the "MTV Unplugged" album by Nirvana?

"Abbey Road" by The Beatles

I guess I should leave classical music and soundtracks out of this. Or else there would be a lot of Tchaikovsky.

 

Nine Inch Nails - The Fragile
Midstates - Shadowing Ghosts

 

"Pet Sounds" - The Beach Boys
“Led Zeppelin IV” - Led Zeppelin
“Boston” - Boston
"The Ramones" - The Ramones
“Bat out of Hell” – Meatloaf
“Never mind the Bollocks, Here’s the Sex Pistols” - Sex Pistols
"Parallel Lines" - Blondie
"The Cars" - The Cars
“Armed Forces” – Elvis Costello
"London Calling" - The Clash
“Breakfast in America” - Supertramp
“New Traditionalists” – DEVO
"Tattoo You" - The Rolling Stones
"Graceland" - Paul Simon
"Paul's Boutique" - Beastie Boys

 

A Night at the Opera - Queen
Tiny Music - Stone Temple Pilots
Angel Dust - Faith No More
1965 - The Afghan Whigs
Powerburns - Twilight Singers

Those 5 have been in my "just been played" pile next to the CD player for years and years.

 

Sticky Fingers, The Stones. That was a perfect album.

I am surprised at all the Boston/Boston mentions. I think it's a perfect album myself, but IIRC, at the time it was poopoo'd because there was controversy as to whether or not those guitars were really being played or if the harmonizing guitars were done in the studio. Or am i just having another acid flashback?

 

^ I think it was just because Tom Scholz really is that good.

 

"Songs for the Deaf" - Queens of the Stone Age

 

Miles Davis - Kind of Blue

I'm also rather fond of Chicago Transit Authority although that's more "honorable mention" territory.
