It happens occasionally, but I think it would happen much more often on a music board.
I don't know why people get so offended when someone claims a band is good that they have never heard of.

This.
People have different tastes. I like stuff more outside the box, others stick to the mainstream. Whatever floats your boat. I'll probably go get 5 or so albums based on this thread so I'd say it's a good one.

I think the word suck would get thrown around alot on a music board.

Music *can* be more a personal experience. And there is just so much music out there that there is bound to be stuff you haven't heard of. It's easier to be a fanboy of a genre or band in music than it is in movies. The list goes on.
That was the second comment in the thread saying something to the effect of "this thread sucks because people just name shite no one else knows about." So those kind of sentiments already reared their ugly head.
Additionally, there is far more "consensus" in movies than there is in music. Fact.
People have asked me to take the 100 MWADS model and use it for albums, and I say no because that shite would never work. Too much music exists to do that.

it comes down to whether or not your a nerd in a particular form of arts & entertainment. there are clearly film nerds among us who discuss indie and foreign movies.
likewise there are a lot of people with a little more curiosity and appetites for new styles, sounds, melodies, rhythms, etc. than what gets played on classic rock radio and hard rock/metal stations.
some, not everybody, seem to embody the chip on the shoulder strawman elitist card by dismissing something unknown as a pretension or posturing. they're dead fricking wrong, however.

Honestly, don't think people are reading the OP either:

Anyways what I mean by perfect albums are albums were you like every single song on the entire album. If there is even just one song you dislike then it does not count.

yeah at some point some people, including myself, got carried away by posting albums that are at best 75% awesome.

Other than maybe Hot August Night, I stick by the First 10 I posted.

I was wondering that too. But I'll admit, I DID post the albums that every single song on it is great IMO. I just had to break it down to a decade and 80's being the shortest.

The most perfect album of alltime that I've heard is Megadeth's Countdown to Extinction. The production is fricking fantastic and there is not a wasted minute of space.
I would also put in:
Master of Puppets - Metallica
Vulgar Display of Power - Pantera
Late for the Sky - Jackson Browne
Seventh Son of a Seventh Son - Iron maiden
Heat of the Night - Bryan Adams
Synchronicity - Police

I appreciate your contributions to 80s threads. you and Cable_Guy and some others have been excellent teachers for a young'un like me for lesser known 80s songs. It's not a decade I've grown up in. I'm particular to alot of new wave and synth pop/disco inspired pop.

I could go on forever in talking 80's alternative, new wave, college, punk, techno, industrial, acid house, etc.
I usually look to these threads to find new music. It seems it more hit or miss nowadays for me with bands today. But then again, I'll put on an old CD and think, how in the world did I like this crap?

it's up there with the best of the decades, imo. gets a bad name for commercialization and hair metal, etc.

me too. I've found some really great new music through music threads on here. Bands like JJ Grey and Mofro and Black Joe Lewis and The Honeybears.
I'm probably more of a mainstream music fan than a fringe fan, but I will certainly go through some of the albums on this thread and find something that I love but never heard before, or something that I had completely forgotten about.

well it was the dawn of music videos so image was just as important as sound to most acts.

nope but it definitely is synth influenced. Not too bad.

Thats not the problem, i listened to that album they everyone keeps posting, the neutral milk hotel one, and i can't possibly wrap my head around how someone can think its a perfect album other than some cool hip indie rock writers said it was and everyone just followed along.
