e: Paul McCartney & Wings - Band on the Run

good choice, even/especially if you add on Helen Wheels and Country Dreamer like the 1993 rerelease. I would say Tug of War was a perfect album but he just had to include Ebony and Ivory

it seems like there's a bunch of mccartney/wings albums that are close to beatles quality except for one or two really embarrassing songs

I vote Aja by Steely Dan

7 tight, amazing, groundbreaking jazz rock songs.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pwaz40X0mQk

I've been slowly going through their discography for a while now, and this is next up, so it's good to hear at least two people say it's perfect.

Steely Dan owns. Side B of The Royal Scam has been the only real dip in quality so far; Haitian Divorce is good but not really feeling the rest

getting out of dadrock i would say Untilted by Autechre is perfect. if it werent for the two throwaway minute long piano interludes then Songs About My Cats by Venetian Snares would be. maybe Doll Doll Doll, but i still like Cats a little more

im personally not crazy about Diamonds and Gold or 9th and Hennepin (or most of his spoken word stuff really). i'd say Small Change is closer to perfection.

I can't love any electronic music, without the moment to moment manipulation of the vocals / instruments the life in the music dies

This may be just a "me" problem but I don't play an instrument or anything and I thought back in like 2000 that electronic music was going to be a great human frontier -- but everything in it is stillborn just before the line where it becomes actual art

hurr

"Long Haired Lady" is the problem for me. An amazing piece of songwriting, and yet somehow nearly intolerable.

you have made a powerful enemy today.

Here are some records that I like all the way through:
  • Steely Dan - Pretzel Logic

I skip that instrumental thingy every time. also Through With Buzz isn't that great. phenomenal record otherwise though

What would you consider a perfect album?

e: nvm you already posted some, my bad

mycophobia

hating a band isnt the problem. sometimes you just dont like something. thats perfectly fine. the issue is that this thread is about discussing perfect albums, or near-perfect albums, agreeing or disagreeing on the finer points of what makes a particular album perfect or not perfect ("if it wasnt for this bit of filler..." "this track isnt quite as good as the others..."), which to me is really fascinating as a topic of discussion, and really isnt aided by someone just making GBS threads all over the artist or group who made it as a whole. i loving hate Incubus and would never ever willingly listen to their music but thats not really a constructive reply to that person who said an Incubus album is perfect, in this thread. it would be something for another Incubus fan to comment on.

yeah a lot of things indicate John Lennon was a huge prick, but in the Beatles he was a hell of a songwriter. Paul, however, was/is the best Beatle.

anyways Plastic Ono Band is a near-perfect album, but God is pretentious as hell and I don't really like it.

i think you'll have to add the spacing manually. it's not immediately obvious to me if you can save stuff as fixed width in Calc, I don't ever use it

I think you can set up a Google Sheets spreadsheet and make it public. prolly can just copy and paste between it and Calc directly if I had to guess

Weak Beatles Album Songs

Please Please Me - There's A Place

With the Beatles - Little Child, Roll Over Beethoven

A Hard Day's Night - None! ===Perfect===

Beatles for Sale - Rock n Roll Music, Mr. Moonlight, Honey Don't (Easily worst Beatles album)

Help! - You're Going to Lose That Girl, Dizzy Miss Lizzy

Rubber Soul - The Word, What Goes On

Revolver - Dr. Robert, I Want to Tell You

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Heart's Club Band - Within You, Without You

The Beatles - Piggies, Revolution 9

Let It Be... Naked - The Long and Winding Road (in my Beatles headcanon this album completely replaces the original, it's better in every way)

Abbey Road - Maxwell's Silver Hammer
