John Cole got me thinking about perfect albums. I only have one qualification for this honor: that every song is strong. No weak spots. No filler. So off the top of my head, here are five examples of perfect albums.
The Flaming Lips - "The Soft Bulletin"
The New Pornographers - "Challengers"
Death Cab for Cutie - "Narrow Stairs"
Rush - "Snakes & Arrows"
U2 - "Achtung Baby"
Add your lists in the comments. Remember: this isn't a "greatest albums" list. These are perfect albums in which every song is equally superior.
