      Townshend released it on his first solo album, but without Daltreys voice.

    I was a huge Styx fan as a teenager in the late 70's but eventually moved on from them as my taste in music expanded. So I didn't listen to them for probably 20 years but when I rediscovered Grand Illusion and Pieces of Eight I found I appreciate them even more today. Grand Illusion definitely makes my perfect album list

      Michael, can I ask you a question? Do you think Styx is a prog band? A friend and I were talking about that and disagreeing about it. I don't think so. Nobody ever called them a prog band in the 70's at least that I ever heard. I could see where they may be considered a little "prog-ish" but that's as close as I can get to it.

    The first Boston album certainly is awesome, but I am at the point where when I hear "More than a Feeling" I turn it off. I've just heard it too many times. Freebird falls in that same category. If I never hear it again, then I am fine. On the other hand, Foreplay/Long Time is my favorite single rock song of all time. The production, the musicianship, the vocals. The song just soars from the get go. Close to the Edge would be what they used to call a desert island disc. "And You and I" is something I am going to have played at my funeral. It is so life affirming, so gorgeously melodic and an unsurpassed example of rock and roll poetry. If you think about the talent level of those five guys, there are very few other bands who even come if you look at instrument by instrument.

    The Bends - Radiohead
    The Joshua Tree -U2
    Ten - Pearl Jam
    Wish you were here - Pink Floyd
    The Thirteenth Step - A Perfect Circle
    Coliseum Rock - Starz (admittedly I may be on my own with this one)
    Gathering of Freaks - Freak of Nature
    Permanent Waves - Rush
    Metallica - Metallica
    Although I have never thought about it before, I agree with Martin that Never Mind the Bollocks would fall into this list.
    Also, Martin’s podcast History in 5 songs ranking Zeppelin albums in context is definitely worth a listen. Their albums are almost considered untouchable but when compared to other albums released at the time it makes you think otherwise.

    "Perfect" albums IMO
    Savatage - Hall of the Mountain King (I agree 100% with Pete)
    Metallica - Master of Puppets
    Amon Amarth - Once Sent From the Golden Hall & Versus the World (Their best two albums IMO)
    Nightwish - Century Child (Even the extended version, I love every song)
    Chastain - Mystery of Illusion (Not the best production, but I can easily listen to this whole album)
    Children of Bodom - Follow the Reaper & Hatebreeder (If I'm in the mood for Children of Bodom, I can easily do either of these start to finish)
    Honorable Mention: I could listen to probably any of Draognforce's first 4 albums from start to finish, but the songs all sound so similar I could just listen to all 4 on shuffle and not really care. Dragonforce to me is something where you listen to the band itself rather than a particular album or song (At least their first 4 albums).
    EP (Less tracks so separate category)
    Amon Amarth - Sorrow Throughout the Nine Worlds
    Warlord - Deliver Us
    ALMOST made the list;
    Metallica - Ride the Lightning - Love it, except I never cared for Fight Fire with Fire
    Lacuna Coil - Comalies - I could do without Angel's Punishment and Aeon, LOVE the rest of the album
    Most of Sabbath's first 10 albums except 1-2 songs I don't care for that ruin it. Rat Salad, FX, Embryo etc.
    Ozzy Osbourne - Diary of a Madman - Little Dolls fucks this one up, could do without that song, otherwise it's my favorite Ozzy album
    Ozzy Osbourne - No More Tears - Mr. Tinkertrain - Hate this song, other than this track I love this whole album.
    Judas Priest - Defenders of the Faith - Could live without Jawbreaker and Eat Me Alive
    Judas Priest - Painkiller - A few tracks just aren't near the level of others. I love the Painkiller, Between the Hammer & The Anvil, Touch of Evil, One Shot at Glory, Tracks 2-5 are kinda just "okay" for me.
    Iron Maiden - Number of the Beast - Could do without Gangland or Invaders
    Iron Maiden - Somewhere in Time - Could do without Heaven Can Wait, especially where they just keep repeating "Heaven can WAAAAAIT" over and over.
    Iron Maiden - Seventh Son of a Seventh Son - The Title Track where it just repeats "Seventh Son of a Seventh Son" like 8 times in a row, just overkill, the only low point on the album for me.
    Running Wild - Under Jolly Roger - Not a big fan of Raw Ride
