[LantzALot]

"What rock albums do you think are PERFECT?"

Perfect what?

[Mad Dawgg]

"The Beatles - Revolver or SGT. Peppers"

This is a Coin toss for me Also... For Lyrics Both are definite Tens with Revolver having a slight lead, Melodys I will have to go with Revolver (Even though Pepper has some great ones) but Pepper is one of the most Spectacular Technical Recordings ever! (Especially when one considers what kind of equipment they used at the time!) "Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon OR Meddle"

No Contest here... Dark Side of the Moon wins hands Down.

Now here is a couple of My Favs:

Queensryche- Operation Mindcrime

Rush- Moving Pictures

[Renegade]

Band On The Run Exile on Main Street

[Sabertooth]

In no particular order and not comprehensive...

Boston - Boston
The Doors - The Doors
Rubber Soul - The Beatles
Who's Next - The Who
Led Zeppelin II - Led Zeppelin
Van Halen - Van Halen
Dark Side of the Moon - Pink Floyd
Let it Bleed - The Rolling Stones
London Calling - The Clash
Abbey Road - The Beatles

[BigBadWolf]

AC/DC... "Back in Black", "Highway to Hell" and "Powerage"

Iron Maiden... "Piece of Mind" and "Seventh Son of a Seventh Son"

Thin Lizzy... "Johnny the Fox" and "Jailbreak"

The Who... "Live at Leeds" and "Who's Next"

Humble Pie... "Rock On" and "Smokin"

[TrappedInLiberalHell]

Emerson, Lake, and Palmer -- Emerson, Lake, and Palmer

Emerson, Lake, and Palmer -- Trilogy

Some of the others mentioned I've heard and agree with, too, like Dark Side of the Moon and Sgt. Pepper/Revolver.

[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.
