The Perfect Record

[Sonic Temple]

Music lovers - have you ever come across the Perfect Record - what I mean is all killers and no fillers. From the opening track to the closing track - just rocks, or dances, or whatever floats your boat - basically the Perfect Record. I thought of this as I was listening to the 'Reckless' disc by our very own Canadian Mr. Bryan Adams. Check out the track listing and realized - this record rocks non-stop.



1. One Night Love Affair
2. She's Only Happy When She's Dancin'
3. Run to You
4. Heaven
5. Somebody
6. Summer of '69
7. Kids Wanna Rock
8. It's Only Love" (with Tina Turner)
9. Long Gone
10. Ain't Gonna Cry

[Goodoer]

I’d still vote for Fleetwood Mac’s Rumours album…

 

[Insidious Von]

The perfect record: The Rise and fall of Ziggy Stardust.

 

[unassuming]

Bruce Springsteen and E Street Band's "Darkness On The Edge Of Town".

 

[SciFi-Guy]

Billy Joel's The Stranger. I never tire of listening to this album.

 

[Robert Mugabe]

Without trying to derail the thread with minutia but I used to like Saga. Before they were that they were Truck. Had a killer guitarist in that band. Then they reformed in this incarnation. Saw then at the Knob Hill back in the day.
This album is a killer.

When I play guitar along to blues albums, Live At The Regal is the one I most often play to.

Weirdly, for a live album, there's one song on the album that is not tuned to standard pitch, so I skip it.

Doesn't matter, cuz my playing is "Gong Show" level anyways...

 

[Shaquille Oatmeal]

Black Sabbath - Heaven and Hell.

Iron Maiden - Number of the Beast.

 

[seanzo]

I can list off dozens of albums that I love front to back but here's a short list of some of my all time favorites

The Avalanches - Since I Left You


Plan B - The Defamation of Strickland Banks


Radiohead - OK Computer


The Gorillaz - Demon Days


Friendly Fires - Pala

 

[JackBurton]

Almost a cliche but The Wall by Pink Floyd. I just started listening to it on vinyl after 35 yrs and it really does sound better than digital.

The whole concept and execution of the music arrangement is flawless.

In a close second is U2’s Achtung Baby.

Abbey Road

 

[believer26]

I agree with The Stranger. Surprised this one hasn't been mentioned yet.
