We did this with cover songs earlier this week so why not full albums?
“Loudwire“ put together a list of 25 “legendary” rock albums . . . “with no weak songs.” (For anyone under the age of 25, “albums” are collections of songs . . . kind of like playlists . . . only they’re all released at the same time, usually by a single artist.) (???)
The site notes that the greatest records aren’t necessarily the most consistent . . . like how even THE BEATLES’ “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” has one less-than-stellar track in “Good Morning Good Morning”.
Here are the 25 that they consider to be flawless, from start to finish . . . listed in alphabetical order by artist:
1. AC/DC, “Highway to Hell”, 1979
2. Alice in Chains, “Dirt”, 1992
3. The Beatles, “Magical Mystery Tour”, 1967
4. David Bowie, “The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust . . .”, 1972

7. The Doors, “The Doors”, 1967
8. Fleetwood Mac, “Rumours”, 1977
9. Guns N’ Roses, “Appetite for Destruction”, 1987
10. The Jimi Hendrix Experience, “Are You Experienced”, 1967
11. King Crimson, “In the Court of the Crimson King”, 1969
12. Led Zeppelin, “Led Zeppelin IV”, 1971
