Winston Legthigh Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 It doesn't bother me, but I can understand not liking it a helluva lot more than not liking Good Day Sunshine. The horns on that just kill me.There's horns in Good Day Sunshine? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Synthesizer Patel Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 exactly what are we talking about here with flawless? if it's just liking ever song on an album then i can name hundreds of albums. it would be easier to name albums i really like that have a song or two i don't like on them. actual albums i think are flawless are Pet Sounds & Ys - with those 2 it's like every note has been thought out and put in the right place, for better or for worse. neither are my favourite albums ever, but they're the only 2 i can think of at the moment that are flawless.

I agree. I think the term "flawless" has been used a little too liberally in this thread. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ih8music Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 I take "flawless to you" to mean those albums where you not only love every song, but every moment of every song. "Flawless to you" as in you wouldn't change a thing on it, not necessarily note-for-note musical perfection. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bleedorange Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 I take "flawless to you" to mean those albums where you not only love every song, but every moment of every song. "Flawless to you" as in you wouldn't change a thing on it, not necessarily note-for-note musical perfection. I understand that. I just think that the many examples offered up in this thread merely degrades the term. It's like the word "genius." That descriptor has been used in so many different ways and for so many different people, that I wonder if anyone really knows what it truly means anymore. There should be a clear difference between flawless and great. I haven't even been able to come up with an album I would consider flawless, yet. But if I see a list of 10 "flawless" albums, it doesn't mean much to me. we're not gonna spin off into a pedantic discourse on the meaning of 'prolific,' are we? Of course, we are.

tinnitus photography Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 I agree that a truly flawless LP is a rare creation, but people see merit in different things, so clearly there is no universal standard upon which to judge. that said, I'd hazard these records as complete statements, truly awesome from start to finish (i'm purposely only mentioning rock LPs, as jazz, opera, classical, etc seem to me to have an easier standard, having less songs). That said, here's a dozen that I could easily spend the rest of my life with. Guided By Voices - Bee ThousandCome - Don't Ask, Don't TellRobyn Hitchcock - I Often Dream of TrainsBoris - Boris At Last: FeedbackerMogwai - The Hawk Is HowlingNeil Young - On The BeachSpacemen 3 - Sound of ConfusionJoy Division - Unknown PleasuresThe Chameleons - Script of the BridgeThe Modern Lovers - S/TThe Jam - Setting SonsSteven R Smith - Kohl Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sloop John B usually gets singled out as messing up the flow/storyline of the album. It use to be said that he was made to put the song on the album, but I have also read that he wanted it on there. Good Vibrations was also going to be on the album at one point. As you may know, Pet Sounds was considered a failure when it was released. I can think of three - Dark Side of The Moon (although, I would have left off Money)The Unforgettable Fire (minus Pride In The Name of Love)Days of Future Passed (Nights In White Satin sticks out due to the fact we have heard it too many times) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Katie3 Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 I know most people would take Sloop John B off, but I really don't mind that song. Its true that it doesn't really fit, but I still like it. I heard it was written for a James Bond movie originally. I could be horribly mistaken. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

sonicshoulder Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 Up until a couple years ago it was a federal offense for an indie band with more than one person singing at any given time on any album to omit Pet Sounds as an influence. A similar law also applied to music critics for album reviews of new indie releases. True story! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jewess_jeans Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 I agree... and Tommy is incredible, but Quadrophenia is at another level. I appreciated it when I was a teenager, for obvious reasons, but, even as I get older, I find more & more to relate to in it. I've seen them perform it a number of times, including this last time in the UK, and it never fails to give me chills and bring tears to my eyes. I was going to list Quadrophenia but for whatever reason didnt .... yes it is far better than Tommy in my opinion Quote Link to post Share on other sites
