Just your own opinions. A note though: perfect album doesn't mean the album with your favourite song on it. Perfect album means you listen to it front to back and love every song, maybe even that the entire thing pulls together in a way that is more than the individual songs.

A few for me:
  • Graceland - Paul Simon
  • Rage Against The Machine - self-titled
  • PetroDragonic Apocalypse; or, Dawn of Eternal Night: An Annihilation of Planet Earth and the Beginning of Merciless Damnation - King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard
CE's Resident Scotsman.

One of the Beatles ones qualifies I think.

Or failing that, one of the soundtracks to a Beatles movie.

So I'll just say Yellow Submarine since it is BOTH.

Maybe either Death of a Bachelor or Vices & Virtues by Panic! At the Disco... Those are probably the closest I can think of since I love both those albums and can't think of a single song on either I'll skip...

Other than that, I usually just hunt and peck for individual songs instead of whole albums...
