I am a huge music lover. I own tons of CDs and even some old cassettes. My tastes cover many genres, although rock music is my favorite. Rare is the album where every track on it is good and relevant to the album it is on. Far too often you get what I call "filler" tracks - tracks that seem to have only been added so that the artist had enough music for a full-length album. Too many times I've bought an album only to realize that only the first hit single is really any good. So, can you name five "perfect" albums? By "perfect" of course I mean where you like every song on the album? What would they be? I'm sure I could come up with more after some thought but these are the first ones that came to mind.
Seether, Disclaimer
Godsmack, Godsmack
Hurt, Volume 1
Led Zeppelin, IV
Led Zeppelin, Houses of the Holy
So, what would your five "perfect" albums be? If you can only think of one, share it. If you can think of more than five, share them all. Oh, and greatest hits albums do not count!!

Okay, those were the first to come to mind, but I am sure I can come up with some others that I think are just as good.
Dido - White Flag
When I listen to either of these albums, I forget that I like anything else. I just play the one record for hours (at home) or days (in the car); always enjoying every song, even on the 10th time through. Eventually, I just have to decide to listen to something else and I feel like I'm breaking out of a musical depression. It feels good going both ways.

Holy--In Strict Confidence
Rainmakers---Rainmakers
Nirvana--the one with the naked baby (can't remember the title)

Although it all depends.......sometimes I can listen to Enya songs for hours, and sometimes I expect Lars Ulrich to keep on playing the drums. So like another excellent albums name says..........."Wild mood swings".....perhaps tomorrow I would fin myself picking Milli vanilli.......well, that was radical.........sorry.
