I often think about stellar albums. The ones where they’re really isn’t a skip-able track. Off the top of my head, these come to mind: The Beach Boys Pet Sounds, Collective Soul Collective Soul (blue album), Bush 16 Stone, and Green Day Dookie. What are some of your perfect albums?
A few of my favorite classics:

- Porcupine Tree - In Absentia
- Yes - Close To The Edge
- Supertramp - Crime of the Century
- Alan Parsons Project - Eye in the Sky

And for newer stuff, I’d go with Anno Domini High Definition by Riverside and English Electric by Big Big Train

i listen to a lot of songs from albums that have a lot of filler on them, but the one i always listen to straight through is born to run. thunder road is how every album should start, every side flip should be rewarded with born to run, and every album should end with jungleland.
throw-in: the sound of three fans clapping to welcome thunder road was also the perfect way to start the live set.
Circa Survive - Blue Sky Noise
BTBAM - Colors
Beastie Boys - Paul’s Boutique is and always will be an absolute masterpiece to me. It was awesome 20 years ago and still goes hard to this day.
- The Foo Fighters - The Foo Fighters
- The Foo Fighters - The Color & The Shape
- 65daysofstatic - Wild Light
- Frank Turner - England Keep My Bones
- The Weakerthans - Left and Leaving
There isn’t a note I’d change on any of those albums.
I agree with a lot of what people have already mentioned, so I’ll add a few I haven’t seen yet
- Turnstile - Step 2 Rhythm
- Signs of the Swarm - The Disfigurement of Existence
- Cocteau Twins - Heaven or Las Vegas
- Vampire Weekend - Vampire Weekend
- Meshuggah - Obzen
- Panic at the Disco - Pretty Odd
- Fall Out Boy - Take This to Your Grave
- Carly Rae Jepsen - Dedicated
- Oso Oso - Sore Thumb
- Polyphia - New Levels New Devils
