"What rock albums do you think are PERFECT?"

none ^ | now | me

[Dust in the Wind]

"The Late Great PFR"

but I am listening to a comiplation of Grand Funk Railroad right now; they're an American Band ;^)

[Auntie Mame]

"Higher Love," Steve Winwood. Every single song is great.

and

"El Mirage," by Jimmy Webb. Another album that contains only great songs, for example: "Christian No," "The Highwayman," "PF Sloan." This is one of those albums that grows on you. The first three times I heard it I thought it was just so-so. After that, I listened to it constantly, and would still, except I own only the LP now. I remember buying the cassette at one time but took it back because the quality was so bad, something I regret now.

Johnny the Fox:

1. Johnny
2. Rocky
3. Borderline
4. Don't believe a word
5. Fool's Gold
6. Johnny the Fox meets Jimmy the Weed
7. Old Flame
8. Massacre
9. Sweet Marie
10. Boogie woogie dance

Johnny The Fox is a great album, plenty of rockers and even some nice laid back stuff too. The twin guitar stylings of Gorham and Robertson are awesome. If you like "Jailbreak" you will love "Johnny the Fox". Thin Lizzy was one of the best groups to come from the 70's and it is a shame they dont get the credit they deserve at times.

[Big Guy and Rusty 99]

sounds good. I'll have to go out and get it.

[TrappedInLiberalHell]

I have to be in the right mood for it. One could define a 'perfect' album as one you let play in full every time (without skipping over songs). Another definition could take it further, and require a unified theme (even if that theme is chaos and disorder). The most restrictive definition would be an album whose songs you can't stand alternate versions of, because they can't live up to the original.
