    Fair enough, can't argue with that. Off the list!!

    Off the top of my head (i.e. not consulting my cavernous crates of CDs, cassettes, and vinyl):

    Blue Oyster Cult - Agents of Fortune
    Gang Starr - Step in the Arena
    EPMD - Strictly Business
    Looper - Up A Tree
    Lida Husik - Joyride
    Peter Gabriel - Peter Gabriel IV (aka Security)
    A Tribe Called Quest - Low End Theory
    3rd Bass - Derelicts of Dialect
    Yo La Tengo - Painful
    Jane's Addiction - Nothing's Shocking

    Did this get mentioned yet?



    This one was spectacular too.



    And

    AL Green - Let's Stay together
    Marvin Gaye - What's Going On

    Are each both as perfect as any album in history.

    Blondie - Parallel Lines is pretty much perfect pop.

    It would be interesting to compare this thread to that list. A lot mentioned here that aren't on that I bet. I know when I scanned through it at the store it seemed like about half of their choices didn't belong at all.

    Since Live albums seem to count for some of you I'ma throw Rush's Exit...Stage Left, Gabriel's Plays Live, AKUS' Live, and The Band's Last Waltz into the mix.

    Other Studio Albums:

    Santana - Abraxas
    Hendrix - Are You Experienced?
    Mark Knopfler - Shangri-La
    Uncle Tupelo - Anodyne

    RS has Trout Mask Replica ahead of Hot Rats, Overnite Sensation, Weasels Rip My Flesh, Burnt Weenie Sandwich, Grand Wazoo, Freak Out, We're Only InIt For The Money, Lick My Decals Off Baby, Doc at the Radar Station, Clear Spot, Shiney Beast (Bat Chain Puller) Ice Cream For Crow, Spotlight Kid, ? Huh?

    Aside from RS being the spewpiece of the recording industry, the question is entirely different. The perfect album has little to do with the Greatest Album. The "greatest" album can be a best seller, have a few of the most awesome riffs or whatever. A perfect album is a piece of conceptual continuity, a work of integrity and art. Big diff in my minicrania.

    To me "I Want You" is sort of the elephant in the room on Abbey Road. Get rid of that and it's perfect.

    Did not say or suggest RS was definitive arbiter of greatness or perfection. Just an interesting point of reference. Most criticism of this list is that it is pre-2003, and is ethnocentric (i.e., white).

    Not the biggest Radiohead fan but In Rainbows is on this list for me. Thickfreakness - The Black Keys is pretty damn perfect. Has anyone mentioned Excitable Boy by Zevon yet?

    I love that song. Great blues song and the last time all of the Beatles recorded together in the same room.
