I often think about stellar albums. The ones where they're really isn't a skip-able track. Off the top of my head, these come to mind: The Beach Boys Pet Sounds, Collective Soul Collective Soul (blue album), Bush 16 Stone, and Green Day Dookie. What are some of your perfect albums?

Ok, now that more people have posted long lists, I don’t feel so bad about mine ;)

  • Arcade Fire – Funeral
  • Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti – Before Today
  • At The Drive-In – Relationship of Command (also their EPs Vaya and In/Casino/Out)
  • Kae Tempest – Let Them Eat Chaos
  • Mercury Rev – Deserter's Songs
  • My Morning Jacket – Z
  • Public Service Broadcasting – Every Valley
  • Radiohead – OK Computer
  • Radiohead – In Rainbows
  • The Decemberists – Picaresque
  • The Diggs – Commute
  • The Dismemberment Plan – Emergency & I
  • The Libertines – s/t
  • The Mars Volta – Deloused in the Comatorium
  • The Notwist – Shrink
  • Tokyo Police Club – A Lesson in Crime (just a fantastic debut; barely an album though)

German:

  • Deichkind – Niveau Weshalb Warum

Some may be an acquired taste (PSB?, also I know that The Libertines’ is not everyone’s favorite – but it’s mine :). The Arcade Fire, even though I don’t listen to them these days that much, is decade-defining for me, as is Radiohead’s OK Computer (together with Nevermind, although for some reason it didn’t make this list).

A Lesson in Crime was definitely a fantastic debut, I'm also a big fan of their Champ album. Breakneck Speed is one of my favorite songs!
