Every album I’ve ever encountered seems to have a mixture of bangers and one or more meh or outright flops. It’s easier than ever to skip over the tracks now, but as the question asks: what’s is, in your opinion, the perfect album, or does one/can one even exist?

    As other have said, it’s subjective, but here are some albums I’d consider perfect:

    • R.E.M. - Murmur, Reckoning, Lifes Rich Pageant, Automatic for the Prople
    • Orbital - In Sides
    • Marvin Gaye - What’s Going On
    • Leftfield - Leftism
    • Beatles - Abbey Road, Sgt Pepper
    • Spiritualized - Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating in Space
    • Underworld - Second Toughest in the Infants
    • Miles Davis - Kind of Blue
    • Massive Attack - Blue Lines
    • John Coltrane - Blue Train
    • Velvet Underground - Velvet Underground and Nico
    • Bob Dylan - Highway 61 Revisited
    • Nas - Illmatic

      Blue Lines over Mezzanine? I usually mention Mezzanine in threads like this because the fact it was released in 1998 really doesn’t come across at all.

        Blue Lines over Mezzanine?

        Every day of the week - don’t get me wrong, Mezzanine is great, but for me Blue Lines is absolute perfection :-)
