It would be interesting to see what albums (no ep's) some of you love 100%. By that I mean every single song on the album is a winner for you. Not one single dud, not even one single so-so cut.
Here are some of mine (and this was hard to do because leaving some favorite albums off like, for me, Neil Young and Crazy Horse's Zuma because I just never totally dug "Drive Back" is TOUGH!):
The Who: Live at Leeds. (The original release.) Full throttle glorious roar, start to finish.
The Replacements: Let it Be. (Yeah, ok, I might skip "Gary's Got a Boner" in polite company but still...
)
Bob Dylan: Highway 61 Revisited. A landmark album, start to finish.
Jimi Hendrix Experience: Are You experienced and Axis: Bold as Love. All recorded around the same time and if it had been released as a double LP would be my only "perfect" double LP.
The Rolling Stones: Sticky Fingers. Even though I don't listen to it very often anymore still, classic Stones all the way through.

The little I've seen of these guys (thanks to peacefrompual :thumbup: ) is definitely intense.
I did a little research and found this regarding "Iowa":
