Are there any albums you consider perfect?

Timrhu,

Forgot to mention...

Slayer's Regina In Blood really has to be listened to entirely to really understand why it's perfect (IMO). The first and last tracks definitely hold up on their own ("Angel of Death" and "Raining Blood") quite well though, if you're into thrash metal anyway. Metallica's Ride the Lightning should be heard throughout too. It's also more easily accessible than Reign In Blood.

Another album I forgot to mention...

Rage Against The Machine - Self titled; Full of politically charged rage and angst. A great album from start to finish with no fillers. It took me a while to appreciate the entire album, rather than just around half the tracks. It's a shame they only made 3 studio albums (not including a covers album).

Good grief!! If this is a representative sample of what you listen to, why not just get yourselves a Sony Boombox and be done. Some guys were talking about Tom Waits, I never heard of him, so I went to Amazon to hear some samples of his stuff. WOW!!! Thats not even music, let alone bad music. Do you really need high-end gear to listen to stuff like this??? Just asking. No offense.

Never heard of Tom Waits? Really?
He gets plenty of mention on this site. If you listen to a few of his more popular albums I believe you'll be surprised at the number of songs you're familiar with through covers.

I went back to Amazon again, and tried the 'early years vols 1&2' Much, Much different. I see it now. The first time I sampled the cd, 'bad me' I think it was. Maybe it was just the shock of hearing his voice the first time. As far as my previous comments, Never Mind :)
