A couple metal CDs I think are perfects:

Machine Head - The Blackening
This is everything metal should be.

Insomnium - Above the Weeping World
A melodeath masterpiece.

Like you said, it's personal. Even if I might like other stuff better (PC&L, for one) I have a lot of associations with Republic from when it first came out that make it special to me ("like water down the drain"

).

I think Republic was also their most commercially successful album, so if anything, more people agree with me (since you seem interested in turning it into a popularity contest

).

Besides, I thought this thread was about albums that you *loved*, not necessarily what you thought might be technically "better." There is a difference, as loving something is more than about just the sum of its parts, like how most people love someone else despite their flaws instead of dismissing them because someone else might be "better" or "more perfect."

 

[doubts even here]

You're right, but it just could not imagine someone could find every song on this album flawless (and its about the songs, not about the sentiments or memories that come with them, although they surely influence the perception of a song but on the other hand are not part of the very song ....

).
Don't know if its NO's biggest commercial succes, it was at least their record which was least critically acclaimed, but hey, of course it's still a very good album.
I already wrote that to me no record matches the criteria the topic starter set completely, but some New Order gets very near, propably one out of the three: Movement, PC&L, Get Ready.

*Any albums where you love EVERY song*

It's not about finding the album flawless - it's about loving the album, warts and all.

Well, to be honest, thats basicly the same to me. If I love a song, its perfect to me. And there I haven't heard one yet, which really has only perfect songs I could love

.

I don't.

I still love them anyway because of the personal associations.

But I can see it your way. In that case, there would be very few albums on my list -- if any -- because almost any album has at least a flaw here and there. Even what might be considered some of the best albums of all time, London Calling, or Let It Bleed, or Who's Next (that one might be perfect

), Blood on the Tracks (on second thought, add that one to my list), or Sgt. Pepper's, etc. So it's just a subjective call.

 

[SONGsanmanwah]

Only one album does that for me, of which I attribute to both quality of song writing and so many precious memories accompanying them.

It is Jackson Browne's Running On Empty.

 

[Quaddy]

return of the space cowboy - jamiroquai
moby - ambient
madonna - ray of light
radiohead - kid a
antony & the johnsons - the crying light
imogen heap - speak for yourself
men at work - cargo
def leppard - high n dry
queen - a kind of magic
isobel campbell & mark lanegan -ballad of the broken seas
michael jackson - thriller

and i'm sure many more i can't bring to mind.

And I do love Republic, too.

Exactly this was the problem to me. As I understood the question of the topic starter, I tried, but could not find any album matching these criteria.
Got to listen to Who's Next...

Edit: Now listening to Who's Next the first time

Search for shade

 

[saintalfonzo]

There are many for me, but the first that comes to mind is Steely Dan: Aja. Oh and just to keep it in the family, Donald Fagen: Morph The Cat

 

[Hicksy]

The Smashing Pumpkins Greatest Hits Album. I especially love some of the slower songs such as Waiting. If only I had a pair of headphones to suit, and not just my DTX 800's that I use for Trance.

 

[gjg]

Supertramp - Crime of the Century. My desert island album, esp. the MSFL gold disc though tubes...
gg

 

[plonter]

radiohead-ok computer
therion-gothic kabbalah
rush-all the first 8 albums.
pink floyd-all are good,but "animals" is my favourite pick.
