Masterpieces

There are none but Seargent Pepper comes close.

It's been so long that I can't be sure that every song was great, but I remember feeling this way about the Grateful Dead's "American Beauty."

"The Who Sell Out"

You haven't heard Miles Davis 'Kind of Blue' have you?

I forgot an obvious one - the album variously known as "Meet the Beatles" and "With the Beatles."

the rise and fall of ziggy stardust and the spiders from mars - david bowie

I have two in mind that are incredible - every single cut was personally mind-boggling, and they still are after all these years!


Avalon - Roxy Music
Songs in the Key of Life - Stevie Wonder

I couldn't agree with you more, jasmine.

bah, less is more...i removed all the others and left these 2.

doves - lost souls
remy zero - the golden hum

Dark Side Of The Moon.

Vivaldi's Four Seasons. (If I can count that as an "album")

Adrian - I'd agree about Vivaldi for the recording by Anne-Sophie Mutter with the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra. Many pale imitiations out there.

Most albums have at least one track which induces the "fwd" button. For me, The Beatles' Revolver album is nearly perfect but "Yellow Submarine" annoys me.

Marvin Gaye "What's Going On?" is amazing but slightly monochrome (same "feel" to the music, beginning to end)

"Kind of Blue" probably stands on its own for perfection of both composition, performance and recording. Do you have the new(ish) version from the correct speed tape - the original releases were 1/2 tone higher than they should have been because one tape used in the recording was not running correctly - that's the one which was released first, believe it or not!
