Now I would say that Pharaoh or Witching Hour "ruins" it for me...

And yeah, I don't mind that. My idea of perfect isn't an album that will appeal to all (Like that would ever happen) but rather an album that is completely consistent from start to finish and appeals to it's audience. In my opinion, while a lot of the albums listed by other people are "good" and have a lot of good songs on them, there's always one or two songs or even moments that break the consistency of the album.

Agreed, the lyrics are a bit 'strange' in those, but I do love the bass part in the beginning of Pharaoh.

OK I hear you Hacker, but you do understand my basic point without the complaining a few have made. Imperfect for some may be perfect for the taste of others. Many I listed were perfect for me when I first heard them, which reaches WAY back. I dont even listen to them much today... still I would not be silly enough to compare say... LZ II to DT Images and Words and say "well LZ II was not really that perfect", it not technical, it was blues based hardrock, it was simplistic, it was old recording equipment, it had ideas ripped from old bluesmen, Pages solo on Hearbreaker was "sloppy", the spacy/psychodelic break during Whole Lotta Love representing the climax of making love was out of the groove... ect. ... because back in 1970 it really didnt matter, it was the most perfect music for me at that time, it totally had me trippin... "oh my... I think I will play that album again...and again... and again... !"
tip of the hat to ABQ & Ascention for getting it Quote:

I think Pharaoh kind of drags on for too long, although the chorus is really catchy. Witching Hour's music is great (some of the riffs remind me of Justice-era Metallica), but the vocal melodies seem like they were written on a guitar and not even "Russellified" by Allen himself. I find no feeling in them.

It is subjective, but it was a thread to delve a little deeper and find those of your favorites that you feel don't have a weak moment. Not questioning anyone's lists, just giving my intention for the thread.
There's a bunch I'd love to list, but then I think again and realize they're just not perfect. Actually just edited and took three off my list after really thinking about it. Last edited by schenkadere : November 25th, 2008 at 09:21 AM. |
