OK, what music CDs or albums can you think of that are "perfect"? By that I mean, they don't contain any bad songs. I hate buying a CD because I like a song and finding out that it's the only good cut on the whole CD. And obviously "Greatest Hits" albums or other compilations are not eligible! Ones that come to mind for me would be: The first four Led Zeppelin albums. Willie Nelson's "Redheaded Stranger" album. Alan Jacksons' "A Lot About Livin'" album. Meat Loaf's "Bat Out of Hell" album. How 'bout you? Cheers! Rick...

Agree on the Zeppelin stuff. Lots of Rush albums (big fan), 2112, Hemispheres, Moving Pictures, Snakes and Arrows. Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon, Animals, The Wall Deep Purple - Machine Head Tom Petty - Damn the Torpedoes Yes - Tales, Yessongs Boston - Boston Jethro Tull - Aqualung Who - Who's Next That's all I can come up with right now. Probably will come up with more as soon as post. Can ya tell I like prog rock?  Haven't bought an "album", other than Rush's stuff, in probably 25 years. just buy single songs I like.

Bob Dylan - "Blood on the Tracks" & "Desire"
Warren Zevon - "Stand in the Fire" & "Learning to Flinch"
Ramones - "Ramones"
Lou Reed - "Rock 'n' Roll Animal" & "New York"
The Rolling Stones - "Exile on Main Street"
These have never gotten old.
It was 1990, give or take, I don't remember

When the boys started cutting off their hair

I always thought these albums were pretty good start to finish:
Welcome to the Real World - Mr. Mister
Goodbye Yellow Brick Road - Elton John
Mirage - Fleetwood Mac
Kind of Blue - Miles Davis
Wave - Antonio Carlos Jobim
Time Out - Dave Brubeck
EDIT:
I should probably add "Brothers in Arms - Dire Straits" too.

David Bowie - The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars. There's a good one. Thanks for the suggestion Mark, I just dug old Zig out of the collection, it's spinning now.

I would elaborate further on the definition of a "perfect" album to say it's any album that I have listened to many times and will listen to many more times in the future and will never get tired of it. Tommy - The Who Dark Side of the Moon - Pink Floyd The Wall - Pink Floyd Wish You Were Here - Pink Floyd Revolver - The Beatles A Hard Day's Night - The Beatles Sgt. Pepper - The Beatles The White Album - The Beatles Abbey Road - The Beatles Rubber Soul - The Beatles Invisible Touch - Genesis Abacab - Genesis Genesis - Genesis Band on the Run - Wings The Stranger - Billy Joel Led Zeppelin IV - Led Zeppelin Back in Black - AC/DC

From start to finish eh? What I love to listen to without skipping any songs... AC/DC "Back in Black" Def Leppard "Pyromania" Metallica "Black Album" Boston "Boston" Scorpions "World Wide Live" (could be considered a greatest hits album though) Candlebox "Candlebox" Foo Fighters "The Colour and the Shape" Stone Temple Pilots "Core" Soundgarden "Superunknown" Firefall "Firefall" Anyone remember these guys? 1976  Zac Brown Band "The Foundation" I'm sure there are many others, but these come to me quickest.
