Very few bands release perfect albums. One in a million, maybe. Fewer release multiple perfect albums. Sonic Youth has released many... which ones do you think fall under the "absolutely perfect I love every moment of every song" category?
For me its:
Bad Moon Rising
Sister
Daydream Nation
A Thousand Leaves
Murray Street
Goo would be perfect but for "My Friend Goo". Rather Ripped is almost there, but there are a few... er... lyrical... mmm... fumbles. Washing Machine is damn close, but the album as a whole is not a perfect entity, like those above. EVOL is closest of all, but I still skip a track here and there. NEVER with those listed above. I love every line of every song, love the order, love the progression, love the cover, love the feel.... those are PERFECT albums.
So, how about you?
