Perfect Albums

I could do this all day lol. Not often I meet a real Queen fan.
One of my favorite bands for sure. I have to admit that they are well before my time but I’ve gone back and listened to everything many times. Musically I think I was born in the wrong era lol.
 
Queen II and Sheer Heart Attack two of my favorites. Have a strong appreciation for Hot Space as well, although not in my top 5, most pple, including Roger Taylor, don't like it, but the B sides to that album are fricking amazing.

Not sure how big of a fan you are but there is a book called Queen: All the Songs. Came out after the movie I think. Talks about every track and every album, even B sides. Formation of the band, song writing, recording, everything. Probably an on-line version too. Ok, have a good one!

I will check it out. You have a good one too.
 
It's been a while since I posted in this thread and it says I've posted twice before, so I'm betting I covered Islands by King Crimson - can't remember what the second post was - Maybe Elvis Costello's first album, maybe Photos of Ghosts by PFM (most likely). Anyway, here's this:

Split - The Groudhogs


I once went into a local bar in a town in Lincolnshire and rather unusual they had a band on. I was thinking …this is a bit special, who on earth is this good?

Tony McPhee’s Blues Band apparently, but the still covered a good few of his Groundhogs numbers including Cherry Red.

More recently I was in a small bar in Brighton and very alternative young lady was DJing using and old record player and vinyl collection and yup …Cherry Red. Heaven!
 
Not a "perfect album" by any means, but one that I've turned the lights out and enjoyed a drink to a few times is Metallica's S&M.
 
Dios. Back in early 2000s saw these dudes twice in one day. Record store and then at venue. Knew little about them at time. They dressed like they just got out of bed. Maybe some of the cheapest most beat up instruments. They absolutely ripped. Honestly one of best bands I have ever seen. From their self titled debut before Ronnie James Dio sued them and they named changed.

 
Been awhile but going to talk about one of my favorite artists, Eric Bachman. I could probably share Archers Of Loaf or Crooked Fingers album but instead going to share his S/T solo album. Hits all the spots for me. Great songwriting and love varied instrumentation whether it be guitar, banjo, piano, or distorted violins from song to song. I think his wife even sings on a song or two. Actually saw him at a house concert awhile back and he autographed this album for me. I think we took a few photos together and had some beers and laughs. Anyways enjoy. Hard to pick one song but here Separation Fright.

 
The Yes Album

Their third album, but, Just like Supertramp as I mentioned above, this is the album that brought it all together for them. An album where every song is a favorite:

Great pick and I agree with your "Crime of the Century" Supertramp pick too.

I would add:

1) Yes - Close to the Edge
CTTE is considered by many to be the best Progressive Rock album ever recorded.

2) Genesis - A Trick of the Tail
I actually like Selling England by the Pound more, but it's not a perfect album.

3) Steven Wilson - The Raven That Refused to Sing
My opinion is this 2013 release is the best Prog Rock album since the 70s glory days.

4) MahavIshnu Orchestra - The Inner Mounting Flame
The debut album and the greatest Jazz Fusion album to ever be released. The intensity and speed at which this band plays is astonishing.

5) Steely Dan - Aja
Every song is a banger. The title track, Josie, Black Cow and Peg are among my favorite songs from Steely Dan and they are all on this one album.

There are other albums I could list from the rock, jazz and classical worlds but this is a start.
 
Usually Greatest Hits albums should not be considered perfect albums but Waylon Jennings is the exception. Plus the album cover.

 
Can you describe for those “not in your region”?

45 rpm 7” records.

3000-3500 of them. Mostly boring rock, country and pop. Stuff you’d hear at an everyday bar, tavern, dive, pub etc

The previous owner was a guy who either leased or sold or serviced jukeboxes.

And what’s the perfect 45?
 
Sorry, I think Imgur is blocked in England. Anyway it’s Moe Bandy “ it’s a cheating situation” b/w “ try my love on for size”.

It’s really shit, but I figured Mo Bandy would appreciate it.


 
.....Hi InFidelity did have some really good music! Gary Richrath guitar playing was superb, There were lots of songs to pick from, but I thought I would pick one that was less popular, but its still a album that I like to listen to
