My definition of "perfect" is a recording that is top-notch solid all the way through without a clunker anywhere. As such, I would listen to every song and never think of lifting the tonearm to another song or pressing "Skip Forward" for a CD. All are albums that I listened to many, many times. Back-in-the-day when I had a stackable turntable, I would put on a few of them, play them through then flip the stack over and play them again. The best was the vinyl version of "Fillmore East". The albums were pressed with Sides 1 & 4 on one record and Sides 2 & 3 on the other. The automatic sequencing allowed me to play the album in the correct order. Loved it!

Edit: finally read the entire thread and was reminded of Joe Jackson's "Look Sharp!" Played it a lot at the record store. Still my favorite JJ album.

Edit #2: was reading up on the album and found out that Joe HATED the cover ‘cause it didn’t show his face! From an artistic view, I always considered it a GREAT shot and the cover very iconic.
