Okay, I can't remember if I've started this topic on this forum before. My description of a Perfect Album is one you wouldn't change anything about. I believe these to be few and far between, even by some of my favorite artists. So just in case I haven't started this topic here before, start listing now... (please no greatest hits)
I'm starting with what I've been listening to this morning:
Born to Run: Bruce Springsteen. This is one of those albums that I go in phases with which song is my favorite. Right now, it's She's the One - very few people outdo Roy in the make-the-piano-into-the-percussion-instrument-it's-meant-to-be category.
Bat Out of Hell: Meat Loaf. Again with the piano-as-percussion instrument category. On a hot summer night, would you offer your throat to the wolf with the red roses??
Talking Book/Songs in the Key of Life/Innervisions: Stevie Wonder
Small Change - Tom Waits
Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs - Derek and the Dominos. Finally, a guitar player
What's Goin' On: Marvin Gaye
Imagine: John Lennon
Capt. Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy: Elton John
Sgt. Peppers: The Beatles
Soundtrack to Superfly: Soundtracks are, for me, the rarest form of but when Curtis Mayfield is at the helm, can there really be anything wrong??
The Joshua Tree/All That You Can't Leave Behind: U2. You know what's sad? I consider them a new band.
Well, that's all I have time to think about right now. I'm sure I'll have a DUH! Why didn't I think of that sooner moment later though...
