The only songs I can think that age perfectly are those written by The Violent Femmes.

I guess you're right.
"American Music" was unlistenably bad upon its initial release, and remains so to this day.
Theory=rock solid.

I was thinking the same thing when i read this thread.

...But you know an album is good when you don't wanna skip the shitty songs.

[Torn Curtain]

I agree with Porkie (David Bowie or Neil Young especially come to my mind).

From the top of my head some masterpieces I may consider having no weak tracks:

The Cure - 17 Seconds / Pornography
The Notwist - Shrink / Neon golden
Talk Talk - The spirit of Eden / Laughing stock
U2 - The Joshua tree
Björk - Homogenic
Serge Gainsbourg - Histoire de Melody Nelson
DJ Shadow - Endtroducing
Morrissey - Vauxhall and I
Van Morrison - Astral weeks
The Rolling Stones - Sticky fingers

The only double album that might genuinely be described as perfect:

 

Sister hasn't got a single song on it that I don't like.

[demonrail666]

I'd say that about all SY albums to Sister.

With the exception of maybe Bubblegum on Evol. Not that I HATE it exactly.

[demonrail666]

Appetite for Destruction is a perfect album, I always think.

[Rob Instigator]

my top reason for preferring vinyl over CD's is that I am forced to listen to all the songs on the album, which ussually results in me appreciating and enjoying songs which at first listen did not strike me as good.

first impressions are shit

There's not such a thing as a perfect album. Full stop. Unless we're free-forming it into such, goodbye.

[Rob Instigator]

it is all in the eye of the beholder.

perfection can only be defined, in the instance of music, or any art, as a personal choice.

to me Daydream nation is perfect.
The Beatles white album is perfect.
Dinosaur Jr's Green Mind is perfect

you're not perfect.

I knew you were arseholes but.....

[demonrail666]

This is gonna degenerate into the whole 'define greatness' thing again. I can tell.

[demonrail666]

Another 'perfect' double:

 

[Rob Instigator]

sarramkrop is perfect

Sister is a perfect album. One of the few that exist in the rock canon.
