Re: perfect albums ?

Feb 01, 2007, 23:58

Of something like 10,000 albums I own or have ready access to, only the following are literally faultless in my eyes:

Steve Winwood 'Arc Of A Diver'
Peter Hammill 'Over'
Jethro Tull 'Benefit'
Iggy and the Stooges 'Raw Power'
Magazine 'Secondhand Daylight'
Caravan 'In The Land Of Grey & Pink'
Sassafras 'Wheelin' and Dealin''
'Charlie Parker With Strings'
Hatfield and the North 'The Rotters' Club'
Robert Wyatt 'Rock Bottom'
Kevin Ayers 'Joy Of A Toy'
The Zombies 'Odessey and Oracle'
Dave Brubeck 'Jazz Impressions Of New York'
Al Stewart 'Love Chronicles'

This is not, of course, to disparage the myriad of albums that I love enough of to never imagine myself without, e.g Gong's 'You', Crimson's 'Red', Copey's 'Fried', Nick Drake's 'Bryter Layter', Purple's 'In Rock' etc etc etc, where nearly every track is solid gold but there's just enough pissing about to fall short of the exalted perfect marking. The above fourteen records are however so PURE that I wouldn't change a single nano-second.
