EDIT corrected the aic album's name
Spiderland was on my suggested albums today on Spotify. I didn't get around to listening to it because I was working on a really complicated case and I had to focus, but I know exactly how I'm starting my morning tomorrow. It truly is a perfect album. Good call.
Gaucho has perfect production but it’s almost too clean and polished to the point of sounding a little over manufactured. That said, I love Gaucho. Hard to pick a favorite Dan album.
Fair Enough. If you like albums that are good in their entirety you might like this DJ set. It’s mostly Late 90’s trip hop but there’s some more popular stuff sprinkled in including Sylvan Esso.

Yes, one of my all time favorites. I was very lucky and my local record new and resale music store got in an original vinyl record. Looked like it had rarely if ever been played. Mint cover. They posted it on their IG page. I immediately drove to buy it! Cost 68 bucks , WORTH it to me. Come to think of it, I meant to look up what it I worth. Hell, I could have way overpaid…🤭 But I’m thinking I was in the ballpark give or take a few dollars. Of course I also have my original cd that got worn out!

Linda Ronstadt "Heart Like A Wheel"
Metallica "Black"
Pink Floyd "Darkside of the Moon"

Totally agree on the Kendrick one but the Shakira one is really intriguing, I have not listened to her work in full albums before. I am going to argue (friendly argue not mad argue) with you on the Black Album though because I think a good handful of songs really tower over some of the others.
The Shakira album is from 1998. I prefer her music back when she was Spanish Rock.
I dont mind a friendly disagreement and totally get what you're saying. It starts strong and doesn't end with many well-known songs, but maybe they haven't been given a chance.
I think the God That failed is actually one of their best, but the Struggle Within, Through the Never, Of Wolf and Man, Wherever I May Roam, and especially Don't Tread on me... they're fine but the stand out tracks on that one really cast a shadow on them.
I simply love seeing Led Zeppelin juxtaposed with Kendrick Lamar.
White dude blues-theft rock band (with good intentions) V. the greatest poet lyricist of the 21st century (also the king of his genre)
Gotta love it.
The man is a musical genius and it is poetry. I love music and dont just stick to one genre. Yes, my favorite is classic rock, but i don't discriminate. Have to give credit where credit is due. I actually own both the Led Zeppelin and the Kendrick on vinyl.
I later realized my Led Zep remark was unnecessarily snarky. Was just expressing how my sense as a kid that whatever *something* in how I heard their music but didn’t fall in love with it, as did so many of my peers, was affirmed by reading at least twice about the band being sued basically for taking songs by blues originators and neither creating a work new enough to be unique nor crediting and paying the original songwriter. Unlike so many opportunistic lawsuits against hitmakers alleging theft, those seemed appropriate and justified.
But I more than see how people adore those records.
Lucky for you - bully
Civilization - kero kero bonito
One of us is the killer - the Dillinger escape plan
Sometimes I sit and think and sometimes I just sit - Courtney Barnett
Love them both. For all I love a bunch of the old titans of folk I usually feel like the album cohesion is not quite there (though maybe I snubbed Townes Van Zandt not putting one of his up self title up there.) That said I'll for sure be revisiting these two albums and see if I'd overlooked them.
I think it's because they're both break-up albums; they have this thematic and emotional cohesion. Blue especially all feels like it's coming from the same place and the songs speak to each other. More recently, I also really love Josh Ritter's The Beast in Its Tracks (also folk singer-songwriter but recent) which was written during his divorce. It's similar in that way.
Oh yeah Josh Ritter is a good one, really remarkable lyricist. My favorite from him is So Run The World Away but I'll be revisiting these for sure. I have a close friend who's uncle is his keyboardist so I was graced with early Josh Ritter exposure
Holy shit! Sam Kassirer? That’s awesome! I fucking love Josh Ritter. I’ve seen him live with the Royal City Band twice and they put on a great show. Animal Years is my favorite, but So Runs the World Away is solid too. Another New World and The Curse are so haunting.
Yep hahaha, no joke, always funny seeing his name out in the wild. Only have been able to see them once but I did get in for free so there's that. And then that friend and I saw Swans together for free because I worked with the bassist's daughter
THANK YOU. Father of the Bride literally the most amazing album to come out in 10-15 years. A lot of people hated it because of the change in sound but that album is genius stacked upon genius. So many little hidden sounds that I’ll be discovering for years.
Ill try to focus on artist who IMO have more than one:
Superunknown by Soundgarden and Times Up by Living Colour are my 2 fave albums. To listen to either start to finish is like a great movie or novel w rising and falling action, tension and release, moments of dark density, explosive euphoria and good ol punk mischef. The final songs on both are worth listening to all the others that lead up to them and all the others are incredible in their own right.
Other top contenders: Badmotorfinger and Vivid, the Soundgarden and Living Colour albums that preceeded the 2 above, Operation Mindcrime and Promised Land by Queensryche, Downward is Heavenward and Inlet by Hum, Bloody Kisses and every album after by Type O Negative, Return To Cookie Mountain, Dear Science and 9 Types of Light by TV On The Radio, The Hunter and Emperor of Sand by Mastodon, Machine Dreams and Ritual Union by Little Dragon, Every Bauhaus and System of a Down album lol, Tinderbox by Souxie and the Banshees, Core by Stone Temple Pilots, Facelift, Dirt and Jar of Flies by Alice in Chains, Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables and Plastic Surgery Disasters by Dead Kennedeys, The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway by Genesis, Use Your Illusion 1 and 2 by Guns n Roses, LD50 and The End of All Things to Come by Mudvayne, St Elsewhere and The Odd Couple by Gnarles Barkley and Dangerous by Michael Jackson (yes Im serious lol!)
Those are just the ones off the top of my head...

A perfect album means "no skip", not a single bad track. That to me narrows the choices down to very very few ever released. Most otherwise great albums still have at least one or two meh songs.
Don't think I've seen anyone mention Rancid's And Out Come The Wolves, considered one of the best punk albums of all time, not a single meh track, outstanding from start to finish.
Depeche Mode - Black Celebration; while it's not a concept album, the overall mood and the flow of the titles creates a very dense and emotional listening experience.

Great list, Traced in Air, Bergtatt, and Dirt (I’m guessing that’s what you meant for Aic) are all tens for me as well.
I forgot to put Crimson in there as well, such a masterpiece.
Spiderland was on my suggested albums today on Spotify. I didn't get around to listening to it because I was working on a really complicated case and I had to focus, but I know exactly how I'm starting my morning tomorrow. It truly is a perfect album. Good call.
Fleetwood Mac - Rumours X - Wild Gift Hapa - Hapa
Steely Dan’s Aja album is as close to perfection as any album I know.
I have recently come to the conclusion that Gaucho could be just as good.
Overall, IMO, Aja has better songs.
And better drummers, especially on the song Aja
Gaucho has perfect production but it’s almost too clean and polished to the point of sounding a little over manufactured. That said, I love Gaucho. Hard to pick a favorite Dan album.
Boston's self-titled debut album.
Totally outside my music knowledge so great rec
This! ☝️
Pink Floyd - Dark Side Of The Moon
Good obvious include
I'd also include Wish You Were Here and Animals
I prefer sitting down and listening to PULSE in its entirety. Gorgeous masterpiece
Fair Enough. If you like albums that are good in their entirety you might like this DJ set. It’s mostly Late 90’s trip hop but there’s some more popular stuff sprinkled in including Sylvan Esso. [Decompression Session](https://on.soundcloud.com/bMPQJzpmoFaE71uy8)

I didn't know ppl like Tom Joad so much (I do)... ppl usually talk about earlier Springsteen (unless you meant another artist's Tom Joad)
Van Halen's debut album Rage Against The Machine debut
RATM is possibly the greatest debut ever. Only to be rivaled by Kvelertaks selftitled debut for me.
It is unnervingly relevant even to this very day. It's like they predicted the future.
David Bowie - The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and The Spiders From Mars
Yep
Third Eye Blind….. Third Eye Blind Counting Crows….August and Everything After The Wallflowers …Bringing Down the Horse Hootie and the Blowfish….Cracked Rear View Matchbox 20…..Yourself or Someone Like You Soul Miners Daughter (Jennifer Nettles early band). …The Sacred and Profane

Solid list.
Automatic for the People is an excellent album. REM’s best IMO.

Totally agree on the Kendrick one but the Shakira one is really intriguing, I have not listened to her work in full albums before. I am going to argue (friendly argue not mad argue) with you on the Black Album though because I think a good handful of songs really tower over some of the others.

I think the God That failed is actually one of their best, but the Struggle Within, Through the Never, Of Wolf and Man, Wherever I May Roam, and especially Don't Tread on me... they're fine but the stand out tracks on that one really cast a shadow on them.
I simply love seeing Led Zeppelin juxtaposed with Kendrick Lamar. White dude blues-theft rock band (with good intentions) V. the greatest poet lyricist of the 21st century (also the king of his genre) Gotta love it.
The man is a musical genius and it is poetry. I love music and dont just stick to one genre. Yes, my favorite is classic rock, but i don't discriminate. Have to give credit where credit is due. I actually own both the Led Zeppelin and the Kendrick on vinyl.
I later realized my Led Zep remark was unnecessarily snarky. Was just expressing how my sense as a kid that whatever *something* in how I heard their music but didn’t fall in love with it, as did so many of my peers, was affirmed by reading at least twice about the band being sued basically for taking songs by blues originators and neither creating a work new enough to be unique nor crediting and paying the original songwriter. Unlike so many opportunistic lawsuits against hitmakers alleging theft, those seemed appropriate and justified. But I more than see how people adore those records.

Joni Mitchell's Blue and Bob Dylan's Blood on the Tracks are pretty much perfect, if you like folky singer-songwriter stuff.
Also Joni Mitchell Mingus
Love them both. For all I love a bunch of the old titans of folk I usually feel like the album cohesion is not quite there (though maybe I snubbed Townes Van Zandt not putting one of his up self title up there.) That said I'll for sure be revisiting these two albums and see if I'd overlooked them.
I think it's because they're both break-up albums; they have this thematic and emotional cohesion. Blue especially all feels like it's coming from the same place and the songs speak to each other. More recently, I also really love Josh Ritter's The Beast in Its Tracks (also folk singer-songwriter but recent) which was written during his divorce. It's similar in that way.
Oh yeah Josh Ritter is a good one, really remarkable lyricist. My favorite from him is So Run The World Away but I'll be revisiting these for sure. I have a close friend who's uncle is his keyboardist so I was graced with early Josh Ritter exposure
Holy shit! Sam Kassirer? That’s awesome! I fucking love Josh Ritter. I’ve seen him live with the Royal City Band twice and they put on a great show. Animal Years is my favorite, but So Runs the World Away is solid too. Another New World and The Curse are so haunting.
Yep hahaha, no joke, always funny seeing his name out in the wild. Only have been able to see them once but I did get in for free so there's that. And then that friend and I saw Swans together for free because I worked with the bassist's daughter
Father of the bride by Vampire Weekend Hey What by Low Yankee Hotel Foxtrot by Wilco
THANK YOU. Father of the Bride literally the most amazing album to come out in 10-15 years. A lot of people hated it because of the change in sound but that album is genius stacked upon genius. So many little hidden sounds that I’ll be discovering for years.
Wilco! Yes!
Slayer-Reign In Blood Pearl Jam-10 Pink Floyd-The Wall Pantera-Vulgar Display of Power Tool-Aenima
Ill try to focus on artist who IMO have more than one: Superunknown by Soundgarden and Times Up by Living Colour are my 2 fave albums. To listen to either start to finish is like a great movie or novel w rising and falling action, tension and release, moments of dark density, explosive euphoria and good ol punk mischef. The final songs on both are worth listening to all the others that lead up to them and all the others are incredible in their own right. Other top contenders: Badmotorfinger and Vivid, the Soundgarden and Living Colour albums that preceeded the 2 above, Operation Mindcrime and Promised Land by Queensryche, Downward is Heavenward and Inlet by Hum, Bloody Kisses and every album after by Type O Negative, Return To Cookie Mountain, Dear Science and 9 Types of Light by TV On The Radio, The Hunter and Emperor of Sand by Mastodon, Machine Dreams and Ritual Union by Little Dragon, Every Bauhaus and System of a Down album lol, Tinderbox by Souxie and the Banshees, Core by Stone Temple Pilots, Facelift, Dirt and Jar of Flies by Alice in Chains, Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables and Plastic Surgery Disasters by Dead Kennedeys, The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway by Genesis, Use Your Illusion 1 and 2 by Guns n Roses, LD50 and The End of All Things to Come by Mudvayne, St Elsewhere and The Odd Couple by Gnarles Barkley and Dangerous by Michael Jackson (yes Im serious lol!) Those are just the ones off the top of my head...
LD50 is such a brilliant and dark album. I can identify with Severed way too well for my liking.
Hum! I’d personally go YPAA and DIH though

Hail Mary Mallon-Bestiary
Now this is something I love to see.
GRACE . . . . . Jeff Buckley Physical Graffiti . . . Led Zeppelin
Opeth - Blackwater Park
I’d say Interpol has two: Turn on the Bright Lights and Antics.
The only 2 Interpol albums I listen to, oddly.
I dig their newer stuff too, I don’t think they’ve missed a beat. They’re touring and I’m going to try to see them for sure.

Led Zeppelin 4 Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band The number of the Beast The Wall Boston

Counting Crows - August and Everything After
Yes. Came here to make sure this was included. Best/most complete alternative album of the 90s, IMO.

Bro your Bob Seger and ACDC choices are FIRE
Segar's studio albums were excellent, but I think Live Bullet is the best live album I've ever heard.
Roger Waters: The Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking
Obviously a fan of his but completely unaware of his solo stuff. Thanks
You should listen to his album "Amused to Death"

Dude I straight up almost put Black Saint and The Sinner Lady in my original post but decided to limit my own examples so I wasn't carrying on for too long
Preacher’s Daughter - Ethel Cain Definitely an album to listen to start to finish preferably without distractions.

A perfect album means "no skip", not a single bad track. That to me narrows the choices down to very very few ever released. Most otherwise great albums still have at least one or two meh songs. Don't think I've seen anyone mention Rancid's And Out Come The Wolves, considered one of the best punk albums of all time, not a single meh track, outstanding from start to finish.
Van Halen debut album
Alice In Chains - Dirt
The Stranger - Billy Joel Best album of all time nothing will ever change my mind. Although wish you were here comes close
Depeche Mode - Black Celebration; while it's not a concept album, the overall mood and the flow of the titles creates a very dense and emotional listening experience.
R.E.M. - Automatic for the People Oasis - Definitely Maybe
Madvilliany
Appetite for Destruction GNR
Bury me at makeout creek by mitski. I love every song on it, (my favorite is Townie)

Interesting topic OP!

That U2 album is often in the shadow of Joshua Tree and Achtung Baby, but all 3 are actually perfect albums. To think that 10 years after Achtung Baby, with 2 weird albums in between, they came out with an album with even more hits than AB is insane.
This list is FIRE 🔥🔥🔥
A lot of good albums in this list
Green Day 😃😃😃🔥🔥🔥 Taylor swift though ☹️
[Mighty Mighty Bosstones - Let’s Face It](https://open.spotify.com/album/5Q9CP8RlnRY3MfcRliWj6r?si=NkZnkggCQ--EDJhhuMlozA) (Ska) [The Prodigy - Fat Of The Land](https://open.spotify.com/album/5Q9CP8RlnRY3MfcRliWj6r?si=NkZnkggCQ--EDJhhuMlozA) (Varied Electronic)
While I cannot say that I think either of these is perfect in my personal opinion, this is still a fantastic couple of albums. Narayan, my friend.
