Ok ..... 5 perfect albums with no duffers, fillers, best ofs or misses

Another 5 albums pop pickers :D

'SF Sorrow'- The Pretty Things.

'All Mod cons'- The Jam.

' The Stone Roses-The Stone Roses.'

'Solid Air'- John Martyn.

'Who's next'- The Who.

:)
 
Neil Young - Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere
Neil Young - On The Beach
Neil Young - Tonight's The Night
Neil Young - Zuma
Neil Young - Ragged Glory
 
I've already answered this once saying only three albums come anywhere near (and none of them are in fact perfect) - but I've recently realised Bossanova comes closeish too. My favourite album (Hejira) would be perfect if A Strange Boy had been left off. Less is more sometimes, Joni.
 
Terminals - Disconnect (EP)
Terminals - Uncoffined
Terminals - Touch
Terminals - Last Days of the Sun (just makes it, I think)
Terminals - Antiseptic

RIP Peter Stapleton, drummer and lyricist extraordinaire. I knew him, Horatio. I regret that before he died, I didn't tell him how much I appreciated his work.

Currently having a Horslips fest in the study while doing some work related stuff. I've discovered a track I don't own on an LP, Shamrock Shore. Rather nice, and a bit more introspective than their more typical Warm Sweet Breath and Trouble type offerings that are just straightforward bits of rock and roll.
 
This is a hard one but I think the following are career bests - or close to - and don’t have any fillers. There are other albums by some of these artists that I prefer but they are flawed by excess or lazy/duff tracks. Interesting that only one is from the cd era - Aimee Mann - but it could easily be a single vinyl album - the longest of its 13 tracks is under 4 minutes.

Led Zeppelin - Fourth album
Ry Cooder - Paradise and Lunch
Aimee Mann - @#%&-! Smilers
Donald Fagen - The Nightfly
Rod Stewart - Every Picture Tells a Story
 
Hope it's ok to have my second 5 by now ;)


Steely Dan: Pretzel Logic
Jackson Browne: The Pretender
Dylan: Love and theft
Traffic: Mr Fantasy
Cohen: I'm your man.

I was a big fan back in the day and live, The Horslips were excellent. Very different from anything else on the circuit. 'The book of invasions was their best work'. I played it recently on an early vinyl pressing and was surprised as to how good sonically this album is.
