Mothers Milk - Red Hot Chilis
Shadows Collide With People - John Frusciante
S&M - Metallica
Wishmaster - Nightwish
Mother Earth - Within Temptation
Hatebreeder - Children of Bodom
Follow The Reaper - Children of Bodom
Death Cult Armageddon - Dimmu Borgir
Suicide By My Side - Sinergy
Deliverence - Opeth

Its a bit of a wierd mix i know, but i think they're pretty perfect albums.

In no particular order:

Slayer - South of Heaven
Guns 'n' Roses - Appetite for Destruction
Metallica - Master of Puppets
Ramones - Loco Live
The Wildhearts - Don't be Happy.. Just worry
Black Sabbath - Sabbath Bloody Sabbath
AC/DC - If you Want Blood
Carcass - Necroticism, Descanting the Insalubrious
Slipknot - Slipknot
White Zombie - Astro Creep 2000

Sabbath Bloody Sabbath - (Just guess...)
Tragic Kingdom - No Doubt
40 Oz. to Freedom - Sublime
Fallen - Evanescence
Harmonium - Vanessa Carlton
Mezmerize - System of a Down
Disintegration - The Cure
Celebrity Skin - Hole
Bleed Like Me - Garbage
Debut - Bjork

I'd say Mezmerize by System of a Down and Debut by Bjork are the best of them.

See, post something 10 months ago, and things change.

Nowadays, I would include Rammstein's "Mutter", Dropkick Murphys "Sing Loud, Sing Proud", and back then I failed to mention any System of a Down. Probably "Toxicity", but "Mezmerize" hasn't grabbed me yet. The first four tracks are classic SOAD, but the rest are gonna take time to grow on me. I can't believe I missed out Iron Maiden... and I'm off to see them on Sunday at Ozzfest (for the millionth time) .. okay, maybe not that much, but probably somewhere around the 20th or 21st time!

The most recent ten perfect cd's I've bought, all released this year, I believe.

The Muggs "S/T"
- recommended for those who want new classic rock

Frank Blank "Honeycomb"
- Pixies leader belts out country/soul

The Magic Numbers "S/T"
- hard to find import from the UK, at least it is where I live, but definately worth the search

The Magnolia Electric Co. "What Comes After the Blues"
- reminds me of early Neil Young & Crazy Horse

Tracy Bonham- "Blink the Brightest"
- makes this list with repeated listens

Jamie Lidell- "Multiply"
- sounds like Stevie Wonder meets electronica

John Hiatt- "Master of Disaster"

The Dreadful Yawns- "S/T"
- cosmic roots rock...on Bomp Records!

The White Stripes- "Get Behind Me, Satan"

King Kahn & BBQ- "The King Kahn & BBQ Show"
- punkabilly do-wop, authentic rock and roll

Honorable mention- Son Volt "Okemah and the Melody of Riot"
- I haven't heard this enough yet though it's my favorite Son Volt so far

I'd like to add "Rumours" to my list and also Franz Ferdinad's debut album.

Oleg your name is great...your quote is even more great (I'm 37, I'm not old!!) and "Talking With The Taxman", what a wonderful album. "Worker's Playtime" is probably my favourite but I think Taxman is his best.

Top Ten....Damn a hard subject when there are so many good albums...

No.1 "A Kind of Magic" - Queen
No.2 "Dark Side of the Moon" - Pink Floyd
No.3 "So" - Peter Gabriel
No.4 "Born in the USA" - Bruce Springsteen
No.5 "Thriller" - Michael Jackson
No.6 "No Jacket Required" - Phil Collins
No.7 "Arena" - Duran Duran
No.8 "The Wall" - Pink Floyd
No.9 "Legend" - Bob Marley
No.10 "Bat out of Hell" - Meatloaf

1. Carole King - Tapestry
2. Neil Diamond - Hot August Night
3. Fleetwood Mac - Rumors
4. Diana Ross - The Boss
5. Bat Out of Hell - Meatloaf
6. Led Zeppelin - IV
7. Linda Ronstadt - Heart Like A Wheel
8. Bruce Springsteen - Born In The USA
9. Billy Joel - The Stranger
10. Toni Braxton - Toni Braxton

I won't post a top 10 as I doubt I've actually listened to that many albums in completion, but my two favourite albums (and don't laugh) that I could not live without are:

"No Angel" by Dido, and
"No Name Face" by Lifehouse

Not very good taste in music, mine, but I love those two albums. Two of the only albums ever on which I love every song.

OK, I know my list is already up there, and there are already 10 on there, but a couple of you guys have posted GOOD ones, and now I have to add some:

First, I'll agree with Carol King's Tapestry and Bare Naked Ladies Gordon, and then I'll add Janis Ian's Between the Lines. And actually, maybe even Billy Joel's Storm Front. I'm not sure.

OK, here are my ten.

1. #3 - Shakspear's Sister
2. From the Choirgirl Hotel - Tori Amos
3. Different Class - Pulp
4. Beautiful Collision - Bic Runga
5. Folklore - Nelly Furtado
6. Flutterby - Butterfly Boucher
7. Revolution in Me - Siobhan Donaghy
8. Thinking Room - Anika Moa
9. Ciao! - Lush
10. International Velvet - Catatonia

In no particular order, of course. The bests ones there really are number 1, 3, 7, and 8. The others are still perfect, though.

But I agree with RyouNeko on a lot of those. Garbage's new album is brilliant (Run, Baby, Run!), and you can't beat Bjork.

I can only think of five. There's so many albums I love but have at least one song I don't bother listening to.

1. Version 2.0 - Garbage
2. International Velvet - Catatonia
3. Siamese Dream - Smashing Pumpkins
4. Dirt - Alice In Chains
5. Garbage - Garbage

Here are the ten that come to mind for me;

Carole King - Tapestry
Beatles - Rubber Soul
Neil Diamond - Hot August Night
Phantom of the Opera - soundtrack
Beatles - Let It Be Naked
Three Dog Night - Live at the Forum
Elton John - Goodbye Yellow Brick Road
Chris de Burgh - Spanish Train
Hall and Oates - Abandoned Lunchonette
Carly Simon - No Secrets

The soundtrack from Chicago would be on the list too, if it weren't for the Queen Latifah rap at the end. That makes the album slightly flawed in my opinion.

Skunkee, I forgot about Carly Simon. Not only No Secrets, but also Anticipation should be added to my list.

Flynn...you changed the Thread's title...

Top ten perfect albums - in no real order...there's more, but no space.
1. Crosby Stills Nash and Young- CSN & Y
2. After the Goldrush- Neil Young
3.Desire - Bob Dylan
4. Ultimate Hits Collection- Ray Charles
5. ...And The Shelter People- Leon Russell
6. Tea For the Tillerman- Cat Stevens
7. Teaser and The Firecat- Cat Stevens
8. Tracy Chapman -her debut album
9. Indians and Saints - Indigo Girls
10. Mud Slide Slim - James Taylor

: edited to change number three to Desire by Dylan. How could I have forgotten this wonder of a collection - especially his heart - wrenching Sarah, which was written on the spur of the moment the night before the session and performed for the first time while Dylan's estranged wife Sarah sat outside the soundbooth and listened. It was pronounced 'good' on the first take, and is probably Bob Dylan's most intimate, heartfelt recording of anything, ever.

... What? How?

That's bizarre...
