In Reply to: RE: Example of the perfect album posted by raya on January 22, 2017 at 18:57:57
I liked Rolling Stones "Sticky Fingers" and "Let It Bleed" for good songs beginning to end.
Steely Dan's "Can't buy A Thrill" and "Royal Scam" are pretty good, too.
Led Zeppelin's "I," "II," "III," and "IV."
Beatles "Revolver" and "Sgt Pepper's."
Too many to name. And that's only thinking rock stuff. Lots of great Blues, Jazz, New Wave, Punk, C&W, 1990s, etc albums.
I like Yazoo's "Upstairs At Eric's" and Gin Blossom's "New Miserable Experience."
Bluesbreaker's "With EC." Fleetwood Mac's "Then Play On."
Too many...
Follow Ups:
I should have asked that folks steer clear of the obvious,e.g. Stones, Beatles, Pink Floyd, etc. However, throwing in a Steely Dan album is a bit off the beaten track, which is good, but I would have gone with Aja. Not that the others don't have great songs but Aja is a great example of a completely cohesive and highest standard, from beginning to end, song craftsmanship.

DADA - DIM
Dada - Dizz Knee Land
It's too bad their next few albums didn't come close to the greatness that is Puzzle.
And mkuller's wife is right, that bassist needed a new hair style. (I've owned Puzzle since 1992, but never seen any of Dada's videos prior to today)
OK. Now that was cool. I had never seen any of their videos either. So I had to look up "Posters", one of my faves.
Cheers!

"I know just enough to get into trouble. But not enough to get out of it."
...funny you mention that one.
We saw Dada in the early 1990s as the opening act for someone.
I thought they were ok but my wife hated them because of the bassist who whipped his long hair back and forth the whole time.
I bought their album but ended up only liking 2 of the songs.
LOL! I would never have pictured the band as being the hair flipping type. Used to listen to the debut a lot when it came out. Then just a few weeks ago when I was in the mood for that era. Quite excellent musicianship and sound quality. Thought they were just an unknown "tight" band. Not what you described. Who knew!
David & David Boomtown (from early 90's) got thrown in my recent listening mix as well. Another underrated album. For me anyways.
Cheers!

...agree with Aja.
Would also include Boz Scaggs "Silk Degrees".

As well as Low Spark. Great albums.
Which did you like better? "Chicago Transit Authority" (album #1). Or BST's eponymous album?

Tommy Bolin "Private Eyes". Maybe one of the best straight ahead guitar rock albums released.
Bob Marley "Exodus" Though it is not my favorite Marley album it is the most consistent from beginning to end.
Peter Tosh "Equal Rights"
Donald Fagen "Night Fly" maybe? still thinking whether it is absolutely perfect. One of my favorites for sure!
