What is your idea of a Perfect Album?

Stevie Wonder "Innervisions". Great jazz chord changes over a real funk clavinet and drums with all guitars rockin' to the great vocals.

Kate Bush "The Hounds Of Love". Delve deep in. There is not a note to be changed. And the last 3/4 of the album is really just a series of songs telling a longer story. Where are you Kate?

There really are so few but I could go on and on.

One that takes you out but brings you back.

Just a few off the top of my head:

The Beatles, "Rubber Soul"
Van Morrison, "Astral Weeks"
Gram Parsons, "Grievous Angel"
Joni Mitchell, "Blue"
John Coltrane, "Love Supreme"
X, "Wild Gift"
The Band, "Music From the Big Pink"
Big Star, "Radio City"
Miles Davis, "Kind of Blue"
Husker Du, "Zen Arcade"
Freedy Johnston, "Can You Fly?"
PJ Harvey, "Stories From the City, Stories From the Sea"
Thelonious Monk, "Brilliant Corners"
The Clash, "The Clash"
The Replacements, "Let It Be"
New York Dolls, "New York Dolls"
Richard and Linda Thompson, "Shoot Out the Lights"
Neil Young, "Rust Never Sleeps"

All of these took me out and brought me back, but I wasn't the same when I returned.

Peter Gabriel--"SO"

Oh yeah, can't bear leaving off Lucinda Williams' "Car Wheels on a Gravel Road."
