i'm with you on ritual de la habitual... it's an absolute stunner... hammered it for years and still take the toffee hammer to it now when i need adrenalising... i'd also add fleetwood mac's rumours which doesn't put a foot wrong. i'd like to say yes's topographic oceans but there's the small matter of side three to contend with. the new shins album's flawless. perfection's not easy to attain. oh yeah, you can count lindisfarne's nicely out of tune too....

Eight Leggéd Groove Machine for sure ... also in their own way:
New Model Army - Thunder & Consolation
Christian Death - A Catastrophe Ballet
The Chameleons - Script Of The Bridge / Strange Times
David J - The Ettiquette of Violence
Bauhaus - Mask
and I'm sure that most folks have their own fave Siouxsie album ...

you're mention of Yo La tengo is interesting, got hold of the retrospective 1985-2003 double cd yesterday, bloody brillant it is too, and the standout tracks were from Electr-o-pura
they really are a superb band, aren't they.
anyway, for what it's worth
kind of blue - Miles
Vol 4 - Sabs (worth it for the sheer number of amazing riffs)
any of the Nick Drakes
Common one - van the man
sure there are more

I suppose technically both of the only perfect albums were released by Stiff Records
The Wit And Wisdom of Ronald Reagan
The Wit And Wisdom of Margaret Thatcher
Both were blank LPs.
