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.
I took this as just naming a perfect album, i could name 50 that i think are perfect, and i don't think for Emma is the best of them, its just the one i was thinking of at the moment.

Yes. It's not as though I'm hailing Mezcal Head as the most perfect collection of songs thus yet created by human beings, it's just the first thing that popped to mind when thinking of a record where everything came together: incredible songs, great production, amazing guitar tones. There's no lull, no low point: all killer, no filler.

The point of naming one is that the thread title is called Name ONE perfect record.

Actually, that's not true. I can also think of Pet Sounds.
