Albums that'd be great...
blanko blanco:
I like this topic very much. Makes for a good read.
Offhand I can't think of any albums that fit for me, except I would somewhat agree with the person who said "Cut Your Hair" from Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain. I usually skip it.

You know, I didn't post that LSD ruined Sgt. Pepper, because I didn't think anyone would agree. But the song completely breaks the mood. I guess it was more an experiment in psychodelia than anything else, though. As a single, it's not so bad, but it doesn't belong on the album.
I also think that "Octopuses Garden" was a great track. As to the other Beatles songs being criticized-- We have to remember that, though they were an amazing progressive rock band, the Beatles were, first and foremost, a Pop-rock band. While they chose to experiment, they still tried to stick to their roots.
As to an album that is completely perfect:
I know this band has gotten a lot of flack around here, and I'm not saying that they are the best band ever, or even that the album is all that influential or progressive, but it IS the best flowing, most consistent, best mood-keeping album I've heard in a long time:
TMBG-"Flood"
I'd also like to bring to the table Pearl Jam's "Ten" and Green Day's "Dookie" as good "flow" albums that also completely rock.

The Mars Volta - De-Loused in the Comatorium - Cicatriz esp
Too long, too jammy, too forgetable. The rest of the album is ace though and I will fight anyone with a Rambo knife who dare say otherwise ;)

That's not true. At least it's about something, and is an ironic murder-ballad.
--- Quote from: Zaarin ---I think "Flying" from the Beatles' Magical Mystery Tour is another weak track. I mean, it's nice, but it's probably for the best that it was one of the only instrumentals the Fab Four ever did.

That doesn't count, because the aim of this is to establish great albums with one shit track.
Magical Mystery Tour is almost entirely cack.
--- Quote from: Hat ---The Beatles - Sgt Peppers - Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds:
I actually heard a version of this that didn't totally suck on the radio at work a few years ago. I know it exists. It was awesome. The album version just makes me want to punch people. I dont know where the other version was from. Anyone know about this? Am I crazy?
Also, maybe I'm just weird, but my favorite tracks on Abbey Road are Come Together, Octopusses Garden, and Maxwell Silver Hammer. Just putting that out there, for you jive suckahs.

I never really liked Lucy either. There's a lot on Sergeant Pepper and The White Album that I'm not too fond of, yet people are always wanking over them.

I have to say, though, if they took out the jammy parts, I think the chorus bit is really good. If they cut out the middle section, then it'd be a great track.
Omnicide:
Actually, talking about Mars Volta, if you edited all of the white-noise filler out of Frances the Mute it'd probably be an excellent album.
Hmm...flawless flow albums...
Beastie Boys- Paul's Boutique
Curtis Mayfield- Superfly
Iggy & The Stooges- Fun House
Jimi Hendrix- Electric Ladyland
Miles Davis- Kind Of Blue
that's all I've got right now.
