The Cars One of the most amazing debuts of all time. The second side suite is stunning and still holds up today. They were so far ahead of their time. A timeless album. A classic debut.

[@mahogany174]

Check out Rick Beato’s show that deconstructs Just What I Needed. It gives a new appreciation to the Cars songwriting.

[@patriottex4813]

I had the Heartbeat City album. Loved The Cars.

[@mahogany174]

@Luis Liebler WTF are you talking about?

[@theyescapedtheweightofdarkness]

You gotta be right with a profile picture like that. Also analog kid is a really underrated rush song

[@dwightplock1162]

And their 2nd wasn’t far behind

[@KAndrew636]

Secret Treaties! Still a huge part of the live shows, almost 50 years later!

[@mikesuarez250]

Tool - Aenima Opeth - Blackwater Park Alice in Chains - Dirt Megadeth - Rust in Peace

[@mahogany174]

Surely you don't listen to all the filler tracks on Aenima. Most if them are just noise.

Machine Head is utter rock perfection.

Get Your Wings should be in there

[@vagabond197979]

Queen - Sheer Heart Attack knocks my socks off from start to finish.

[@davidg.8031]

Camel's Mirage or The Snow Goose are both pretty much perfect albums

[@shawnatlast]

or Moonmadness

[@damiankarras]

It’s worth noting, and Martin will know this, that Crime Of The Century was an absolute phenomenon in Canada, where it’s one of the first albums here to ever be certified 10 x platinum or Diamond. That’s by far more than it’s sold in any other country, including the U.S or UK where it’s only certified gold. It’s sold more copies in Canada than the US with only 10% of the population. Canada might be their biggest market because Breakfast in America is also Diamond Status in Canada. When you think of a list that Includes bands with more than one diamond album, Supertramp is one name I don’t think most people would expect to see on that list. Pretty cool

[@TommyZadick]

When that album first came out I was in a record store where that was playing over the sound system. I had never heard of Supertramp before. I bought it on the spot. Loved Supertramp ever since.

[@damiankarras]

@Martin Popoff Saturday night Fever was the first, grease soundtrack was the second both in 78. Both compilations. Supertramp’s 2 albums were certified in 1979. Just crazy when you think about it. Fleetwood Mac (certified Diamond in 78) Rumours, and Meatloaf (certified diamond in 79) figure in there somewhere too, but those are actually double Diamond albums now. Still quite an accomplishment from little old Supertramp.

[@stephenbrown4211]

My perfect Supertramp LP is the Live Paris album. All great tracks but they sound so good live.

[@johnoliver7181]

it may sound rather dramatic but I was questioning whether I should be listening to the stuff I do (Judas Priest, Halloween, queen, UFO, acdc etc etc) at my age ( 58).. I watch most of your shows and I have to say you've inspired me to stick with it, find the passion again.. Its getting there.. You guys have such passion and enthusiasm, I realise I'm not the only one.. Keep up the great work..

I think this is a show but if not this show should officially be: Pardo n' Popoff

[@jaybone23]

Yes!!!

[@b.g.5869]

Popoff isn't always in the co-pilot seat however. I think if they had a radio show it could be HUGE.

[@Hairmetallurgist]

5. "Queen II" -Queen 4. "Abbey Road“- Beatles 3. "Asia" - Asia 2. "X" - Spock's Beard 1. "Metropolis Part II-Scenes from a Memory" - Dream Theater

[@Jamie.Laszlo]

My "problem" with Abbey Road is "I Want You (Shes So Heavy). It's not that it's a bad song. It just doesn't seem to fit with the vibe of the rest of the album. It seems out of place. I think it would have fit better on the self-titled white album. I'm splitting hairs, though.

[@skroehr]

What a list! I agree with Q2 and Abbey Road immediately. It's been a while since I listened to the rest It seems like there might be a skipper or two, but I can't think of them .

Another 5 perfect albums . . . U.K. - U.K. Yes - 90125 B.O.C - Cultosaurus Erectus Rush - Permanent Waves Queen - Innuendo

[@jaydogstephens7388]

For Yes I would chose Close to the Edge, 90125 has a lot of just ok songs in my opinion. It's nothing like most Yes albums anyway...

[@Waverley116]

Black Blade!!

[@steveseim]

After seeing last week's picks, I realized that *Boston* and Styx *The Grand Illusion* should have been on my list.

[@steveseim]

And now I want to add *Crime of the Century* too.

[@andrewrobinson3605]

I love the two BOC albums you guys picked, but I'm also a very big fan of both "Mirrors" and "Spectres," and I saw the tour for the latter, with the big laser show.

Pink Floyd- Animals Iron Maiden- Seventh Son Rush- Grace Under Pressure Blue Oyster Cult- Fire Of Unknown Origin Death- Human

Clutch - Blast Tyrant. I never skip any songs on that one. Great from beginning to end.

[@flyfishincrazy]

@Martin Popoff mine too

[@JohnnyRecently]

Queen I is perfect like The Stone Roses first album. Nostalgia doesn't work for me... so KISS didn't weather the years well...for me. On the other hand, I now love late 60s Miles Davis and Italian Prog.

[@doc6448]

The Aerosmith, Dream Theatre and especially Supertramp making the list is very cool. Floyd- Wish You Were Here, Bowie-Ziggy A special shoutout to Rush- Moving Pictures (40 years old today) ✌️

[@tdog5035]

Never thought I'd hear The Stranglers being mentioned on this channel (God bless Popoff). I'd argue their first album has no poor songs. Including their 'prog' epic Down in the Sewer.

[@stephaneherringtoniowritin9180]

Stranglers were awesome!

[@mahogany174]

Manic Street Preachers was also a surprise.

[@amnony1]

I think Aural Sculpture is the coolest album on earth.

That number 1 pick made me gasp, as I absolutely love that album myself. Thanks guys for all the recommendations and comments, you always talk about groups and albums that I may have missed in my 60 years, so I always make a point of checking out most of those picks I’m not so familiar with. Many people out are searching for great music from new bands but there’s tons of great music under our noses that we’ve just never noticed before.

Thanks Pete and Martin for again doing part 2 of this list....here are my top five favorite perfect albums part two: 1. Beatles ----- Revolver (1966).......I could've picked so many of their albums........obviously.......but I just think top to bottom this is just to perfect and I think (other than Sgt Pepper which is a concept album) Revolver is the album they envisioned that they would make 2. Pink Floyd ----- Wish You Were Here ---- (1975) .....hard to follow an album like Dark Side of the Moon but I think they hit a grandslam here so brilliantly 3. Green Day ------ Dookie (1994)......great mix of punk and pop some might say Kerplunk was perfect or even better but again I think Dookie is the album they envisioned making (maybe American Idiot) but I went with my personal favorite perfect album and Dookie for me is just that top to bottom 4 Queensryche ------ Operation Mindcrime (1987)......hard to say what the band might have been envisioning as their perfect album (I would've loved to ask them) but they did here.......an absolute masterpiece top to bottom 5. Iron Maiden ------ Killers (1981)........could have gone with any of the first five albums here.......but again I went here with my personal favorite perfect album and that's Killers

I love hair of the dog but never cared for whiskey drinkin woman

[@Nick-qf7vt]

@@jpmcmullan8666 Yeah. Top to bottom I prefer Razamanaz.

PETE! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR SHOWS! I WATCH MOST OF YOUR VIDEOS AND LOOK FORWARD TO THEM. AND I LOVE YOUR GUESTS. SHAUL NAKAR HAIFA ISRAEL

[@peterock4210]

I actually anticipated other people from SoT weighing in on this concept. Excellent idea.

[@mikeryanmikeryan4740]

Hi Guys. Martin Nice Y & T shirt. I agree with most of your picks especially Restless and Wild and Secret Treaties.

[@kennycraig6769]

Two perfect albums from one group, Dark Side Of The Moon and Animals.

[@b.g.5869]

Money prevents Dark Side from being perfect for me.

[@flyfishincrazy]

Yeah what’s up with these guys and Floyd and Zep.....craziness no mention

[@flyfishincrazy]

Nevermind Martin finally did lol

[@angusiha]

I love when Martin takes a little different path. So I'm going forward that path. 5 perfect albums for me. 1 - MC5 - HIgh Time (71) / 2 - Elvis Costello - My Aim is True (77) / 3 - The Clash - Give'em Enough Rope (78) / 4 - The Jam - Sound Affects (80) / 5 - Danzig - Danzig (88) (this last one more aliened with the usual stuff on SOT).

[@domielakrabi3276]

Totally agree with MC5!! Picked them a few days ago for the 1971 show. :)

[@jerryattwooll4864]

Ironage Mothers Finest. Every track a raucous funky heavy metal corker. Kansas Leftoverture The perfect blend of prog and melodic hard rock Not a mediocre track on it Both above produced by Jeff Glixman.

[@DavysFlicks]

Big shout out to Martin for mentioning The Manics this week and Waterboys last week. Both HUGE in the 80s and 90s respectively. Shame they're unknown in North America relatively.

[@TheCornishCockney]

Alan Parsons Project - The Turn of a Friendly Card. 1st groove to final fade.....perfection. Great choice,Supertramp,but for me,they had 3 perfect albums,crime,quietest moments and breakfast.

[@martykott450]

Totally agree on Turn. It's fantastic every single minute it runs.

[@dtltmtgt]

Bon Scott's last "Highway to Hell" for me fits as "perfect". Agree with Martin on "Rocks", no skipping tracks for that one. "Aja"! Great pic Pete. I was thinking of that one too.

[@dianamcdougall9251]

Highway to Hell, their best album and a great pick!
