I often think about stellar albums. The ones where they're really isn't a skip-able track. Off the top of my head, these come to mind: The Beach Boys Pet Sounds, Collective Soul Collective Soul (blue album), Bush 16 Stone, and Green Day Dookie. What are some of your perfect albums?

The first album that I ever bought back in the day from my pocket money was Hybrid Theory by Linkin Park.

Only later I found out that this feeling of listening to every song of an album multiple times without getting bored or just not liking some or most of them is not the norm.

I enjoyed the album right away. But only after being disappointed in all other albums that I bought over the next months I started to realize what an incredible gem Hybrid Theory is.

I had the same magical feeling with Meteora. Sadly, the following albums could not keep it up for me.

I still love HT and M to this day and listen to it monthly. Amazing albums by an amazing band.

Totally agree with you on Hybrid Theory…start to finish fabulous. Interestingly enough, another album I feel this way about is Aqualung by Jethro Tull. If I put on either of these albums I lose 40 minutes before I know it…
