Perfect Albums

Remembered one that was in my disappeared post

Strokes Is This It
Eric Clapton 461 Ocean Blvd.

Another R.E.M. perfect album - Up. If New Adventures in Hi Fi was their Sg. Pepper, Up is their White Album.
 
I have a few,

I find that when a band has a perfect or near perfect album (using the every song is good definition) I end up buying their next several albums hoping that they will be as good. Here are mine in no particular order

No Doubt - Tragic Kingdom
John Mayer - No Room for Squares
Collective Soul - Dosage
Collective Soul - Afterwords
Panic at the Disco - Pretty Odd
Maroon Five - Songs About Jane
Secret Garden - Songs from a Secret Garden (New Age)
Crash Test Dummies - God Shuffled his Feet (their only good album ever, the bums.)
Nickel Creek - Why Should the Fire Die
Enya - Shepherd Moons (new age)
KT Tunstal - Drastic Fantastic
Yanni - Live at the Acropolis


Here are a couple new ones: Both of these are retro with a 60's sound. I can't stop listening to them.
The Like - Release Me
The Young Veins _ Take A Vacation
 
Ben Folds - Rockin' the Suburbs, Whatever and Ever Amen
Collective Soul - Blender, Dosage, Collective Soul
Third Eye Blind - Third Eye Blind
Live - Throwing Copper
Weezer - Weezer (blue)
AC/DC - Back in Black
Guns n Roses - Appetite for Destruction
Journey - Escape
Barenaked Ladies - Maroon
Foo Fighters - Colour and the Shape, One by One
Pearl Jam - Ten
 
Weezer-The Blue Album
Green Day-Dookie
Angels & Airwaves-We Don't Need To Whisper
Blink-182-***** of the State
Muse-Absolution
AFI-Sing the Sorrow
Radiohead-OK Computer
Jimmy Eat World-Futures
Massive Attack-Mezzanine
Alkaline Trio-Agony & Irony

I'm sure I'm missing a few but these are (IMO) the most complete albums of some of my favorite bands.
 
It's pretty cool seeing what other people consider to be "perfect" albums. There's some seriously good responses on here. However, it's funny when you see somebody list a certain album that they think is perfect and that you think is total ****. It just makes you realize that music is art and art is subjective. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. That being said, a few more of my "perfects".

The Beatles: White Album (Disc 1) Just my opinion, but I think it's the best work they ever did.
Somebody already mentioned Alice In Chains: Dirt. THEE best grunge-era album. Period.
Aerosmith: Rocks
Megadeth: Countdown To Extinction, Peace Sells

For years I said that I hated "Bridge Over Troubled Water". It was too slow, too this, too that.

I always really hated the Beach Boys. I mean, like, BAD, ya know? But anymore, compared to most of the trash ya hear these days, they actually sound kinda good sometimes.

Third Eye Blind's self titled album was ridiculously good. It's too bad they never came close to recapturing that magic though. I can't even come close to getting through their other albums in their entirety.
 
Ok Computer, Pink Moon, Portishead S/T, Marley's Burnin', Dark Side, Sgt. Pepper, Rubber Soul, White Album + Abbey Road come to mind.
 
Another one of my perfect albums: Storming Stages and Stereos - Self Titled EP
 
honz: You like good music and Gordon Hayward. I like you.

Mine:

Clearly Perfect:
Brand New - Deja Entendu
Brand New - Untitled Demos
The Fall of Troy - Phantom on the Horizon
Weezer - Blue Album

Perfect to me:
Saves the Day - Through Being Cool
Blink 182 - Dude Ranch
Fall Out Boy - Take This to Your Grave
