Give me your 10 "perfect" albums. Not to say that every song is a 10 but the album as a whole you CAN and DO listen to in its entirety and consider the album as a whole perfect. There is not one song you would remove or have to skip when playing it as an album.

Might not be your "favorite" albums either because like for me although LZ I and II and some Black Sabbath and Police albums are likely in my top 10 they do have songs I might skip or don't love.

1965 - Beatles - Rubber Soul
1969 - Blind Faith - Blind Faith
1970 - Van Morrison - Moondance
1971 - Led Zeppelin - IV
1976 - Boston - Boston
1977 - Fleetwood Mac - Rumours
1980 - AC/DC - Back in Black
1981 - Rush - Moving Pictures
1985 - Peter Gabriel - So
1991 - Pearl Jam - Ten



Honorable Mention - others I considered and some were tough to leave off:
Black Sabbath - Paranoid
Metallica - Master of Puppets and Black Album
Led Zeppelin - I and II
The Police - Synchronicity and Ghost in the Machine
Eagles - Hotel California and The Long Run
Tom Petty - Into the Great Wide Open and Wildflowers
GNR - Appetite for Destruction
Cars - Cars
The Clash - London Calling
Prince - Purple Rain
Michael Jackson - Thriller
Marvin Gaye - What's Going On
Joni Mitchell - Blue
Stevie Wonder - Songs in the Key of Life
The Beatles - Abbey Road
The Rolling Stones - Exile on Main Street and Let it Bleed
Bruce Springsteen - Born to Run
Talking Heads - Remain in Light

Glad you got Ten.

Lots of greats already covered, I'll just add both OK Computer and In Rainbows from Radiohead. I know there are plenty of folks on here that aren't fans, but these are a couple of unbelievably good rock records

Mumford & Sons - Babel

I was a huge fan of Sigh No More. One of my top 10 albums of all time. Didn't care for much after. Babel was ok but didn't have the magic for me the first one did.

From my son (29) - I'm damn proud of his musical tastes - I taught that boy well. His faves are not mine but I certainly started him down the road of discovering all of these artists at one time or another. All of them were made before he was born with the oldest being 26 years earlier and the latest was just a year before he was born. Long live rock and roll indeed.
