Between Exile on Main Street by the Stones, Hunky Dory Bowie, and from Dylan FreeWheeling, Blonde on Blonde, Blood on the Tracks

off the top of my head, but this idea of perfect is an absurdity

Perfection is in the eye of the beholder, my friend

I have to agree that this album is pretty damn perfect. It's a great agglomeration of human emotions perfectly put to lyrics and music. Excellent choice, pal.

Scott Walker -- Scott 4
Sinatra -- Wee Small Hours

Thats how I prefer to view myself.

I "think" I have never heard a perfect album. Happy now?

Springsteen is my favourite ever artist and I’ve probably listened to Born to Run more than any other album, I however Althing think Meeting Actoss the River falls into the filler section.
I actually think Born in the USA is his all killer album but I still prefer Born to Run.
