Boston - Boston was the first thing that came to mind when I thought of a "perfect" album. Great songs front to back, I think my favorite is Hitch A Ride. That sudden transition from slow to fast in the second chorus, the way that last solo slides in following the quiet chorus, just gorgeous songwriting

Remain In Light just might be the most listenable, adventurous album ever made. The insane rhythms and grooves combined with futuristic synths and melodies......breathtaking originality from top to bottom! Awesome pick!

[@treffbennett6534]

Being extremely familiar with 4/5ths of your list-the Soft Boys listing had me checking out song samples and HOW IN THE HELL HAVE I NOT HEARD THIS MELODIC MASTERPIECE WITH ROBYN HITCHCOCK OUT FRONT!?!? I have certainly seen the Soft Boys named in many music mags and what not......but never followed up, for some reason. I think I believed they were too experimental, not musical enough. But they are EXACTLY the type of slightly off center, guitar based, smart and clever band that I am always searching for (like The dB's, Game Theory, Wire Train, Let's Active, The Feelies, Velvet Crush etc. ) and now thanks to you, Mike Shannon, I just ordered the c.d. for 10 bucks on amazon!

[@lesterpaul9657]

@@garyserdoz6915 Who's next is indeed one of the greatest rockalbum ever. But it could have been a bit greater if "pure & easy " wasn' t banned. Townshend released it on his first solo album, but without Daltreys voice. " Once was a note pure and easy" was the initial idea for the narrative he was working on. I think it' s a very good song.

[@kevinsnodgrass6222]

I wanted to add Queen - Night @ the opera and UFO Force it

[@toddfoster828]

Who's Next is so good, the stuff that was left off could make a great album. Pure and Easy would be the best song on almost any album, but it wasn't good enough to make the cut of Who's Next. That is how good Who's Next is.

Maybe it was a typo 😊

[@stevenjohnston2263]

Queen II is a great album. I just prefer I

[@lucaserpe6742]

Great stuff as always Pete, loving your shows. Top man.

[@nigelthomas589]

#1. Led Zep IV, III, Physical Graffiti, Houses of the Holy, II, I...in fact all of their albums...! Tumbleweed Connection, Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here, Abbey Road, Close to the Edge, Moving Pictures, Hemispheres, The Doors, Blonde on Blonde, Aja and others by Steely Dan, The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust, Kind of Blue...

[@CazDad2]

Love Rush, but Zep 4 has to be the #1. Metal for me is big brother to disco

[@michaelbeaule1966]

Tumbleweed Connection. Great album!

[@treffbennett6534]

yeah, Blonde On Blonde is Dylan at his peak of genius-it changes the atmosphere when played!

[@theyescapedtheweightofdarkness]

100% agree. For rush just add 2112, A farewell to kings, permanent waves, caress of steel and power windows and I'm happy

[@lesterpaul9657]

Anyone for Aqualung? I hope so. A lot of great music taste in here.

[@chanewinthrop1089]

It makes my list.

[@rightchordleadership]

Aqualung is indeed a perfect album.

[@jamesmack3314]

Yes it’s excellent but I’m partial to Stand up

[@bobmeyer09]

How about Thick as a Brick.

[@rightchordleadership]

@@bobmeyer09 Tull has at least four, maybe five, perfect albums including TAAB.

[@reubenkuriger6004]

Prefer Emperor - In The Nightside Eclipse!

[@susantraikovich6558]

Love the Rainbow and Accept choices

[@matma84]

Great idea! Would love to see more! Fire of Unknown Origin is to me a perfect album. Great flow and mixing the BÖC hard rock with some new wave and art pop influences is giving the album endless replay value. Also Sad Wings of Destiny by Priest, Aqualung by Tull, Peter Gabriel 3 and Sheharazade by Renaissance spring to my mind.

[@christianhaynes1954]

Watching these old shows again . Love the retro sot!

Pink Floyd: Wish You Were Here The Who: Who's Next Dire Straits: Brothers in Arms Led Zepplin: IV The Beatles: Revolver Other Honorable Mentions: Aerosmith: Rocks Alice in Chains: Dirt Cream: Disraeli Gears Emerson, Lake and Palmer: Brain Salad Surgery Genesis: Trespass Jethro Tull: Songs From the Wood Kansas: Point of Know Return Montrose: Montrose Pink Floyd: Animals Porcupine Tree: Fear of a Blank Planet Queen: A Night at the Opera Rush: 2112 Soundgarden: Superunknown Steven Wilson: The Raven That Refused to Sing (and Other Stories) Stevie Ray Vaughan: Texas Flood The Beach Boys: Pet Sounds The Beatles: Sgt.

“Who’s Next “, “Moving Pictures”, “Never Mind the Bollocks” (great pick Martin), first Pretenders album, U2 “Boy”, “Sticky Fingers”, The Band “Stagefright”, The Pogues, “If I Should Fall from the Grace of God”, etc.

[@aleksandarfrick2656]

" Boy " dont have weak moment .

[@jamesc1879]

Tuxedo Cat: Your picks are valid, my personal best is Rolling Stones Exile on Main Street but your pick of the Pogues was really exceptional and I whole heartedly agree. I first heard of them, as almost everyone, from Rum Sodomy and the Lash. How can one resist not getting up and dancing, even if you watch a video of them and Shane's ugly teeth. And now on to KZbin videos of the Pogues, love it.

[@cherylwoodward]

Sticky fingers, Aja, Dark Side of the Moon.

[@Smartie1]

The pretenders - a case for album 2 as well -

[@philipholmes5884]

NMTB here's the Sex Pistols is perfect ! Good one !

1984 - VH Wheels of fire - Cream Ritual de lo Habitual - Janes addiction Outlandos d'amour - The police Heavy Weather - Weather report Axis Bold as Love - Jimi hendrix Violator - depeche mode

[@ruf1970]

Bottom line the first Van Halen is not only the perfect album from start to finish but the best debut album of all time. Not one bad track on this album.

[@CBT5777]

Boston's debut is pretty good too. Definitely the best album of 1976. Even over 2112 of Rush

[@Drumdude74]

1. AC/DC - Back In Black 2. AC/DC - Powerage 3. Guns N Roses - Appetite For Destruction 4. Van Halen - Van Halen II 5. Metallica - Master Of Puppets

[@stevenjohnston2263]

Appetite. Yes. Definitely perfect.

[@j.j.4150]

I think "Let There Be Rock" is pretty perfect. Love every Track.

[@alibobsmarland9572]

Definitely on my list.

[@preving]

Every song on Let There Be Rock is truly amazing!

[@j.j.4150]

@@preving I agree. And it has at least 4 Songs which all make my Top 10 favorite AC/DC Songs, which is pretty crazy. But yeah, that and Powerage are easily my favorites.

@@j.j.4150 Am with you on your favs. Best two acdc albums right there.

[@shakaibmumtaz]

Pete, I am compiling all of the albums that you guys talked about here on the show as perfect or near-perfect albums for about a year now because I have watched your videos since late 2019. I just want to say your videos matter to me a lot and I gain so much knowledge about new artists or albums I haven't heard from this channel. It is just a terrific experience just to listen to so many great songs. You should definitely make another "perfect albums" video and I might need another hard disk to have bigger memory space for all those songs. Thanks again. God bless you.

[@gator7082]

Standing by for part two!

[@sergiomoreira8196]

Steely Dan: Aja Pink Floyd: Animals Rainbow: Rising Black Sabbath: Sabotage

[@beboprichie]

In no particular order: Steely Dan: Aja Pink Floyd: Animals Porcupine Tree: Deadwing Natalie Merchant: Ophelia (not the right crowd but perfect to me) Genesis: Selling England By The Pound Yes: Close To The Edge Rush: 2112 Jethro Tull: Aqualung John Mellencamp: Scarecrow

[@frankbarbaro4363]

Would love to see part 2.

I'm happy to see that I own most of them and that several are in my favorites too. 👍👍👍
