Top 5 "Perfect" albums (albums that you can play all the way through without skipping a track)
Okay, I'm limiting myself to actual albums - live albums, and greatest hits collections don't count. It's too cheesy to pick greatest hits albums for this kind of thing.
The #1 greatest album of all time has to top the list:
Queen - A Night at the Opera

The others in no particular order:
Rush - Moving Pictures

Cat Stevens - Teaser and the Firecat

Big and Rich - Horse of a Different Color

And this one is not a greatest hits collection, but the greatest "Soundtrack" (i.e. collection of songs, not a score) for a movie. Double album, not a single bad song on the list - Sort of cheat of the above non collections thing, but this one is too good to pass up.
Heavy Metal

And just because they have to be mentioned the obligatory Beatles album - Revolver

Wow...Queen and Rush as your first two picks. I'd'a never guessed that. :)
I need to start getting some of the actual Beatles albums (instead of just Anthologies, Beatles 1, 1962-1966, etc.). The only real album I have of theirs is Sgt. Peppers.
Revolver would have been my number 2 Beatles pic. I'm a fan more of the pre Sgt Pepper stuff. I'm a pop music junkie
Revolver !! A Night at the Opera!! Teaser and the Firecat!!!
Your list FTW. :)
And I'm more of a fan of the post Peppers psychedelic proto-progressive sound. :)
ALL GREAT, especially Queen and that Heavy Metal Soundtrack, which I wore out on cassette!!
