'Perfect albums'

Bloc Party - Silent Alarm
Interpol - Antics
Powderfinger - Odyssey Number 5
Two Door Cinema Club - Beacon
 
I love that album but it isn't perfect. Possibly the best song on it got cut - Silver Springs.

Tis for me Its one that I can listen to from start to finish without any bother which is rare for me, too many revered albums have soft spots.

Others I missed

Scott Walker - Scott 4
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - Tender Prey
Alabama 3 - Exit on Coalharbour Lane

No filler, that's very true. And it is a full start-to-finish listen.

But whether you blame technological limitations, stylistic choices or simply balancing fragile egos, it can't be perfect without that track.
 
That opens an interesting side discussion, as it is on the remastered version.
Depends on the listening medium too. Most of the music I regularly listen to is ripped from Qobuz at "Studio master" standard and played through a modern, moderately decent speaker set. So I'll always listen to the remaster as it was remastered with modern equipment in mind.

If I'm listening to vinyl then I'll listen to the original as that was the format it was mastered for (and I don't have the remaster on vinyl).
 
Where to start??

I love music and have a few hundred vinyl albums which are on most of the day. These are just a few.

Neil Young . Harvest
Bob Segar. Against the Wind
Floyd . Dark side of the Moon
Meatloaf . Bat out of Hell
Bob Segar. Night Moves
AC/DC. Let there be Rock
Cohen. Songs of Love and Hate
 
Good luck - he was an absolute drunken shambles when i went last March! I hope he's in a much better place, and the show is back up to normal standards, for your one
He is a nut job
walked off stage when I went to see him as the lights were too light …
shame as his Mansun stuff is classic
I paid £85 for an original Attack of the Grey Latern and then then they released it in heavyweight vinyl. So now I have an old and new copy
 
Oooh I'd add:

Attack of the Grey Lantern - Mansun
Blackened Sky - Biffy Clyro
A kind of magic - Queen
War Stories - unkle
Decksanddrumsandrockandroll - propeller heads.
4 great albums there
queen for me was growing up
mansun was my teen years and I was hooked after seeing the video for tax loss at Liverpool Street station
unkle i love because after my dance years I got into serious dance music. Saw them at the O2 and it was immense
Decksand drums i got into because I randomly met David Arnold through a mutual friend who said they were remixing some of his sones…. It was a bind theme

I do live mid era biffy and Puzzle is the album for me
 
Nas - illmatic
Mobb Deep - the Infamous
Outkast - ATLiens
Biggie - Ready to die
Jay Z - Reasonable doubt

Blackened Sky had youthful grit to it - Biffy for me have mellowed and I'm at the metal end of the musical spectrum thus prefer their heavier stuff -Puzzle was great but not my favourite.

Mansun were the reason I started singing, and why I formed the band that is my username. I love the way Paul Draper writes lyrics and melodies and copied him shamelessly while trying to find my own style way back when.
