I wrote this one down first than replaced with Faith No More. I figured someone else would pick this one. Awesome record.

No bad songs, all good songs. Incredible performances and song writing rarely matched in the modern era.

Sleater-Kinney - The Woods
Soundgarden - Superunknown
The Beatles - Revolver
Paul Simon - Graceland
Built To Spill - Perfect From Now On
Sonic Youth - Daydream Nation
Radiohead - OK Computer
Radiohead - Kid A

If we're going with perfect, I'd take Abbey Road, but that's the beauty of the Beatles. They're kind of all perfect.

i thought it was pretty obvious as a choice too. Amorica could probably be in there as well but Southern Harmony is still just so perfect and hasn't aged whatsoever in my opinion. Plus didn't it get written in like a week or something? Might put that on now. The Brazilian import vinyl...not the shitty reissue with the horrible sound.

It is funny but I'm not sure PJ has a perfect album....close but not perfect. Yield has Pilate which is great except for that fuckin chorus and No Code has Mankind which should have been shelved until Lost Dogs or just put out as a b-side on a 7" or something. I guess Vitalogy is about there is you ignore Stupid Mop.

I know it is comprised of primarily covers and older remakes but I think Raising Sand from Robert Plant/Allison Krauss is perfect for what it is. Anyone feel me on that one?

Totally off topic but I might actually be banned from the pit for being an asshole awhile back.

For what it is, it's great. Alison Krauss steals the show.

Mine would include....
The Band - The Band
Genesis - Trick of the Tail
AC/DC - Let There be Rock
and the big surprise one
Blink-182 - Enema of the State

As for the Black Crowes, I would have gone with Amorica but Southern Harmony is great.

Good to see some people can't follow simple directions and name only ONE perfect record.

If I named one earlier, can I name another one now?

If it's been more than 10 minutes, your opinion could theoretically have changed. Go for it.

What's the point of naming one? If I had to choose between any of the 8 records I named, there's no way I could say that one was more perfect than the others. All of them are perfect to me - perfect songs, perfect track order, perfect production and perfect artwork. That's what makes them perfect.

Yeah, but there was only one place in your suitcase to take a record to your deserted island.
