Flawless albums
Jan 9, 2011 at 9:02 PM Post #31 of 941
I have never listened to a 10/10 album before. But many 9.9/10's. Some off the top of my head:
Pink Floyd - DSOM, Animals
Streetlight Manifesto - Everything Goes Numb
Explosions In the sky - The Earth Is not a cold dead place
Do Make Say Think - Other Truths
Russian Circles - Enter, Station
Mono - Hymn To The Immortal Wind
Tool - Laturalus

Mahavishnu Orchestra - Inner Mounting Flame &  Birds of Fire
Larry Coryell and Ralph Towner - The Restful Mind
Larry Coryell - Dragongate
Pat Martino - Baijina
The Grateful Dead - the sequence of Dark Star, St. Stephen and The Eleven off of Live/Dead (cheating I know).
John McLaughlin - the acoustic side of My Goal's Beyond (another cheat).
John Coltrane - Giant Steps
Gil Evans - Out of the Cool
Sam Rivers - Fuchsia Swing Song, Contours, and the Blue Note combo with the Andrew Hill album on it.
Charles Mingus - Changes I and Changes II (and so many others)
Ronald Shannon Jackson - Mandance
Ornette Coleman - Body Meta
 
I guess I'm too easy on them, or I've been blessed to hear a lot of great music.  This list could go on and on.

"No filler" albums... tough, really tough. I'll give it a try anyway.
 
Good call on Björk's "Post".
 
In alphabetical order:
Alice (Italian singer) - Il sole nella pioggia
Anderson, Laurie - Home of the Brave OST
Bright Eyes - Digital Ash in a Digital Urn (not something I listen to that often, but when I do, it's from beginning to end)
Bush, Kate - Hounds of Love
Gabriel, Peter - s/t IV / Security
OMD - Architecture & Morality
Siouxsie and the Banshees - Peepshow
Vega, Suzanne - Songs in Red and Gray (maybe not her best, but certainly consistent)
 
Not entirely sure:
Cocteau Twins - Treasure (haven't listened to that one in a while)
Oldfield, Mike - The Songs of Distant Earth (it's a (lengthy) concept piece, and having those compete with conventional "collection of songs" type albums doesn't seem entirely fair to me)

One very obvious one:

King Crimson - In The Court Of The Crimson King

Then

Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here & Animals

and

Roger Waters - Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking & Amused to Death

I'd say early Judas Priest being very perfect but I guess most metal lovers regard the interplays as fillers. :frowning2: I love them, makes Rocka Rolla and Sad Wings of Destiny very progressive sounding!

The Hellacopters - By The Grace of God.
 
It's an underrated diamond.
 
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_TkQ5lLRf-Q -- Rainy Days Revisited, possibly my all-time favorite song.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=On3ItSg1BWI -- Pride. Another great one, for slightly different reasons.

Weezer - Blue album. One of my favorite albums of all time. Every song is great!
 
Inception OST - Does this count?
 
The Shins - Wincing the Night Away. One of those albums I love to test new headphones with.

I think Spiritualized's Ladies And Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space is both one of the best albums of all-time and one of the best-sounding albums. Not Radiohead but Spiritualized seem (to me) to be the true successors to Pink Floyd, who seem to be pretty popular on H-F.
