Ramones Rocket to Russia
I once saw them live and they played the whole album, in order.
That's the shit there. Saw them on that tour opening for Black Sabbath.
That album turned my musical tastes around.
This is everthing I've listened to in the past week, and all are pretty much faultless:

I always liked UFO's Force It top to bottom. Lights Out was their more popular classic.
Strangers in the Night is one of the all time great live albums.
Quoted from vid1900:Long before Poison or Guns and Roses.
New York Dolls
Every track a gem.
Oh, yeah! Absolutely everything great about Rock & Roll is on that album, about as pure as it gets!
So so many but this one has helped me a lot. With motivation.
Pantera cowboys from hell.

I would also include type o negative bloody kisses
Krokus "Headhunter", Accept "Balls to the Wall", Megadeth "Peace Sells". All killer IMO. I never left the 70s/80s musically w/no regrets..... Black Sabbath "Mob Rules" rocks too start to finish.........
Jar Of Flies - Alice In Chains. By far my favorite album by them
Reign In Blood - Slayer. Their best album, and quite possibly the best thrash album ever.
If you like that BREE death metal like Mikey this might just get played for 6 FUCKING HOURS on the way back from ClePin. Seriously. Perfect.
DYING FETUS
"Infatuation with Malevolence"
This week it's been Mob Rules all day everyday. Not sure it's a perfect album, but Sign of the Southern Cross IS absolute PERFECTION.
GnR use your illusion 1.
Although I don't really like November Rain, I do think that the rest of the album is solid and the last 6 songs together is a masterpiece.
The Garden, Garden of eden, don't damn me, bad apples, dead horse, coma.
I concur with both Dark Side of the Moon and Bridge of Sighs, and the latter track even has an outro that sounds like the former, with studio chatter mixed in...
Raining blood... from a lacerated sky, bleeding it's horror, creating my structure, now I shall REIGN IN BLOOD!
Thinking better now... all 3 first SLAYER albums!!!
Quoted from Gryszzz:This week it's been Mob Rules all day everyday. Not sure it's a perfect album, but Sign of the Southern Cross IS absolute PERFECTION.
» YouTube video
Sign of the southern cross. When I heard that song it was very late. On the radio. No one played sign of the southern cross during normal business hours. It was about 3 am.
Great song. I love it.
Quoted from vid1900:How bout something from this decade?
Clutch - Psychic Warfare
Great mix of blues vs hard rock.
Not a bad song on the disc» YouTube video
Saw Clutch play at the 9:30 Club here in DC. Great band! Electric Worry is a great song. Plus, they are local.
Let me just leave Back in Black and Buena Vista Social Club here for you. If you have not listened to Buena Vista Social Club, do yourself a favor. It is fantastic!
The Dwarves have a few perfect albums, but "The Dwarves Are Young and Good Looking" is a perfection overload.
The whole album is so catchy, that you find yourself mindlessly punching holes in the walls; so don't listen to it if your parents are home.
Probably no song longer than 3 minutes:
Lots of good ones in this thread. A couple more:
Perfect classic prog rock: King Crimson - Red
Perfect modern prog-ish heavy rock: Motorpsycho - The Tower (just release, but I honestly don't believe it's just a honeymoon thing.)
The Pixies - Doolittle
I stole a whole wall of CDs out of a chick's apartment (I made like 5 stacks of CDs in the hallway outside of her door, then went back to get them once she fell asleep). I sold them all to the local used record store, but she did have one CD, Doolittle, that I had never heard of.
I played it and it was a great combo of haunting tunes and surf rock - I still have it today.
Quoted from tiesmasc:I'm partial to Queensryche's Operation Mindcrime (if we go back to the late 80's). A rock opera with 15 tracks...

This is what I was going to post. I was 17 when it came out and we were early adopters due to we all loved The Warning and thought Rage for Order was the cat's meow. This came out and blew our minds.
It seems hard to understand now, but we had no idea Mary committed suicide until much later.
Smashing Pumpkins - Siamese Dream
Widespread Panic - Panic Everyday
Snoopdog - Doggystyle
Janes Addiction - Nothing's Shocking
Quoted from cody_chunn:David Allen Coe - Underground or Bootleg...whatever it's called it's the best at what it does
Sadly you are dead nuts on. It's his greatest work by far!
Songs so hideous, you are embarrassed that you can't stop singing them.

Slayer - reign in blood
Pink Floyd - animals
David Grisman Quintet - dawganova
Jimmy Buffett - changes in latitudes changes in attitudes
Blue highway - midnight storm
That will cover quite a few moods!

Not recommended for the faint of heart or those who can't laugh at over the top stuff.. but I've seen him about 10 yrs ago and he says he doesn't care who you are or what you are that he's all good with everyone now.
A Trick of the Tail - Genesis
Quadrophonia - The Who
I Robot -The Alan Parsons Project
The Turn of a Friendly Card - The Alan Parsons Project
They are Second Coming and their self-titled debut is one of my all time favorites.
Only 11 tracks but each an epic masterpiece. The album flows together perfectly and if you listen to it enough times you can make a rock opera in your brain.
Not my favorite track from the album, but "Vintage Eyes" got the most radio airplay.
It's a shame much of their other work was overlooked.
P.S. Vid makes the best topics.
Television - Marquee Moon
Black Keys - Brothers
Velvet Underground - s/t (and probably white light white heat and VU+Nico but I can't remember if there are stinker songs)
