Give me some PERFECT albums

[puckhead]

The concept of album may be lost with the ipod generation, but back in the olden days, music groups, called "bands" released their songs in groups of 10 or so, called "albums".

Give me some examples of albums that are great, from start to finish, without a weak link at all. Example.. Dark Side of the Moon doesn't make the cut, because while it may be a great album on the whole, Money is a stupid fucking song. Same with Dire Straits - Brothers in Arms... great album, but I never need to hear Money for Nothing again as long as I live.

Here's first crack at my list

Afghan Whigs - Gentlemen
Alice in Chains - Jar of Flies (kind of cheating, as it's an EP)
The Cure - Disintegration
Mad Season - Above
Smashing Pumpkins - Siamese Dreams
Iron Maiden - Number of the Beast
AC / DC - Highway to Hell
Black Sabbath - Master of Reality
Queensryche - Operation Mindcrime

so, what have you got?

Thousand Foot Krutch - Phenomenon

I know almost all of you haven't heard of any of these albums, but I love 'em, start to finish!

I've always found that Rush seems to have perfect albums.

I cannot think of any off the top of my head, I can think of lots I love that have bad songs on them.

The Replacements - Tim (closest I can think of, love it but dont love "Dose Of Thunder" which isnt awful, but doesnt fit the album IMO)

The Cure - Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me (I prefer it to Disintegration which I also like - but it has Snakepit on it)

Violent Femmes - Violent Femmes (Confessions and Good Feeling suck though)

The Cars - The Cars (got a lemon in "Im In Touch With Your World")

The Pixies - Doolittle is really good but has a couple songs I dont like, Green Day - American Idiot is really good but has a few songs I dont care for, Prince - Purple Rain is great but I hate Darling Nikki no matter who does it, oh I could go on all night with albums I like except for a few songs.
