Perfect Albums?
What is your perfect album?
Mine is Neil Young's HARVEST. Every single song on 'Harvest' is masterful. Honestly, not a single note is wasted anywhere. "Heart of gold" remains Young's masterpiece. Gentle yet rough, simple yet intricate, immediately likeable but with much to gain from every listen; this is the benchmark and definition of what a classic actually is. What is yours?

Madonna's True Blue.
A perfect pop album, great on a hot summer's day, chilling with friends and a long cool drink. It boasts 3 uk number one singles A big ballad A Spanish influenced track Great videos to all the singles Probably the most iconic photo M ever had taken used as the album cover picture And it's her best selling album to date and made her a global megastar. |

Another album to catch up with one day.

City to City by Gerry Rafferty. An album I could easily listen to every day.

Hormonally Yours by Shakespears Sister.
I play it at least once a week even after all these years. Not a filler track to be found. Bliss |

Lady Gaga - The Fame Monster
I absolutely love every single track, each one is better than the last. I think it is just the perfect balance. I would say possibly Hurts - Happiness as well. |

Max Richter - Memoryhouse
It's quite difficult to describe, it sort of falls into various genres - minimalist, chamber music, a hint of electronic, film score. If you want the full force of the music, look out for tracks 'Sarajevo', 'Last Days', 'November' BBC Music review called it: "A 65-minute journey through the beauty and tragedy of 20th century Europe, Memoryhouse is like an immaculately observed postcard journal, albeit one informed more by imagination than documentary accuracy" |

So hard to nominate just one album, but I'll go for The First Of A Million Kisses by Fairground Attraction. Not one duff track, all beautifully crafted songs in styles ranging from folk through jazz to pop (e.g. the classic single 'Perfect'). Not to mention great musicianship and the crystal clear vocals of Eddi Reader.

I don't believe there is such a thing as a perfect album, however albums which I consider every song great and flow together well are...
Frengers by Mew. Boxer by The National. Parallel Lines by Blondie. Ten by Pearl Jam. Black Sheep Boy by Okkervil River. The Meadowlands by The Wrens. |

Even though my most favorite song from my most favorite singer James Otto is from his album named Sunset Man, his follow up to that album named Shake What God Gave Ya! is absolutely perfect because James is in his element at all times on that album.
![]() God bless you and him always!!! ![]() Holly P.S. I just pray that his next album is available soon because for me there will never be enough of him in my opinion James is that awesome.

There are a few I would concur with e.g. Neil Young's 'Harvest', Amy Winehouse's ' Back to Black' or 'The Stone Roses'
I would suggest Angels and Airwaves 'I-Empire', every track is good and it seems a personal work. |

Far - Water and Solutions. It is an Emo album, but don't knock it cos of it's genre, it pre-dated before Emo got annoying. Perfect album.
