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?

    Discovery by Daft Punk is a no skip for me. Also food and liquor by lupe fiasco.

    Ok, now that more people have posted long lists, I don’t feel so bad about mine ;)

    • Arcade Fire – Funeral
    • Ariel Pink’s Haunted Graffiti – Before Today
    • At The Drive-In – Relationship of Command (also their EPs Vaya and In/Casino/Out)
    • Kae Tempest – Let Them Eat Chaos
    • Mercury Rev – Deserter’s Songs
    • My Morning Jacket – Z
    • Public Service Broadcasting – Every Valley
    • Radiohead – OK Computer
    • Radiohead – In Rainbows
    • The Decemberists – Picaresque
    • The Diggs – Commute
    • The Dismemberment Plan – Emergency & I
    • The Libertines – s/t
    • The Mars Volta – Deloused in the Comatorium
    • The Notwist – Shrink
    • Tokyo Police Club – A Lesson in Crime (just a fantastic debut; barely an album though)

    German:

    • Deichkind – Niveau Weshalb Warum

    Some may be an acquired taste (PSB?, also I know that The Libertines’ is not everyone’s favorite – but it’s mine :). The Arcade Fire, even though I don’t listen to them these days that much, is decade-defining for me, as is Radiohead’s OK Computer (together with Nevermind, although for some reason it didn’t make this list).

    Radiohead’s Kid A has no filler tracks. Anyone who thinks Treefingers is filler is wrong

    “Gorillaz - Demon Days” It is like a story unfolding, where they really have fun with the music, and effortlessly meld through different genres.
