As opposed to 'perfect' albums such as Trout Mask, Piper, Forever Changes, etc.? Interesting point... do you mean otherwise perfect albums ruined by a clunker or two?


Not necessarily a clunker and not ruined either. Plenty of albums could live with the extraction of a misstep of one kind or another - an arrangement, a piece of playing or singing, a bad piece of lyric writing or perhaps just some lazy plagiarism. For Your Pleasure was the only rock album I could think of that just doesn't have one of those moments, at least to my ear. The Pop Group's debut could be another one as could Fugazi's Seven Songs. But we are talking taste here not science so there are no definitive answers. Never got Love myself but I know that puts me in a minority around here!
