Your (perfect) record

Oh, me too slaw, otherwise I wouldn't bother having them in my collection. I also have about 750 7" 45's, of individual songs I like a lot. There are currently quite a few young bands and solo artists making albums with at least mostly good material (which for me is the number one factor determining the quality of an album), but most really popular music these days is not made by "album artists".

Albums that are equally good on both sides? That was always a tough decision when totally baked---seems one side usually got more play.  CD's are easier--just program a few out.  One I think is great throughout is Brian Auger & The Oblivion Express, "Closer To It".   

@jafreeman - "Closer to it" is an excellent record and it meets the criteria. It's been in my rotation since the mid/late '70s.

Shelby Lynne- Just a little Lovin.  I can listen to that album over and over and over and....

Just listened to EmmyLou Harris - "Wrecking Ball". I'm adding it to my "perfect record list". Simply excellent all the way through. Coherent, complete, great vibe from the Daniel Lanois production.
