A perfect album (LP) is hard to come by but here are ten of my favorite.
1) Palace Music )) Viva Last Blues
Not blues, not folk, not rock but everything.
2) Pere Ubu )) The Modern Dance
Unclassifiable and unbearable to be without.
3) Pavement )) Brighten the Corners
The blueprint to Indie rock, if only more people realized.
4) Funkadelic )) Maggot Brain
"We are back in our minds again" Dearest Funk, you confound my body but delight my soul!
5) Joe Jackson )) Look Sharp!
Pop at it's finest and (ahem) sharpest!
6) Elvis Costello & the Attractions )) Get Happy!!
20 love letters to soul music written as an apology for a insult Costello made about Ray Charles (if legends are to be believed!!)
7) James Brown )) Live at the Apollo [1963]
My first album and love.
8) Jets to Brazil )) Orange Rhyming Dictionary
It's just so near perfect it's better than perfect.
9) Pixies )) Surfer Rosa
The follow up to Come on Pilgrim, not as raw but just as much bite.
10) Frank Black )) Teenager of the Year
A perfect double album, how do you do it Frank Black Francis?
