    you know....SNOW with his #1 hit *Informer* 1993 and the whole is good including the extra tracks and remixes.

    Take a look here and you'll have the answer to your question. Snow *INFORMER*

    The first three Police albums
    Pink Floyd--Animals
    The Strokes--Is This it (the original version that includes New York City Cops, not the post-9/11 American version)

    Those are the ones I can think of offhand. I'll add some more later as I think of them
    Don't threaten me with a good time.
  • I'd vote for many of the albums already listed, plus others.

    But here's one that has always stuck out as being an amazing album as a whole in my opinion:

    King Crimson- In The Court Of The Crimson King
    "Up here so high the sky I scrape,
    I'm so high I hold just one breath here within my chest,
    Just like innocence."
  • -John Mayall's Bluesbreakers with Eric Clapton
    -Zeppelin IV
    -Derek & THe Dominos - Layla (minus Thorn Tree in The Garden)
    -Nas-Illmatic

  • Road Apples - The Tragically Hip
    Day For Night - The Tragically Hip
    Tonight's the Night- Neil Young
    Zuma - Neil Young
  • TV on the Radio - Dear Science
    Can not be arsed with life no more.
  • i'll add my Siamese Dream love too.

    personally, AiC - Jar of Flies is perfect.

    PJ has come close a couple of times. No Code only has maybe one song i skip (mankind)

    Rites of Spring ---- Self Titled
    Fuck yes.

    Well, I dunno about perfect but its highlights are my favourite music ever, namely Drink Deep and For Want Of.
