This is everthing I've listened to in the past week, and all are pretty much faultless:

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!

I listened to all of these over the past week or so, and remain certain all could easily be considered "perfect" (though that is subjective of course):

Quoted from Rdoyle1978:

HUGE thumbs up for the Spock's album! (although it is a bit generous to call The Light "modern" Neal's later albums are also really good when they don't get too preachy.
I'm checking out that "Artemis" record. Thanks!

Yeah, I suppose “modern” is a stretch for something that was released 28 years ago, LOL!

I think the Transatlantic and Flying Colors albums are Neal’s best latter-day works. His solo stuff is nothing short of phenomenal in terms of musical achievement, but I feel the songwriting is a bit too literal and “easy” (if that makes sense); I’ve listened to classic albums like “Close to the Edge”, “Foxtrot”, “In the Land of Grey and Pink”, and “Octopus” scores of times, and the fact that I STILL haven’t fully penetrated and deciphered the lyrics is part of what keeps me coming back for more!

If you like the Beard, you will almost certainly dig Echolyn too. This one-song 50-minute masterpiece of an album also qualifies as “perfect”, just astonishingly good in every aspect and everything we love about Prog:
