I’ll up the ante: These are two albums where each of the songs are not only not bad, they are downright amazing. Foetus - Nail Suicidal Tendencies - Suicidal Tendencies I know of no other albums that are quite as perfect, although some of the Misfit’s albums come close. ---

Pearl Jam-Ten (already said) Beatles-Abbey Road (already mentioned, and worth mentioning even though it’s too old for consideration) Guns N Roses-Appetite for Destruction (again…) Angie Aparo-“The American” Most of the ones I thought of, someone else thought of before I hit this thread, but I had to throw Angie’s name out there. He’s a singer from GA, and “The American” is his album from 2000. He has a great voice, and songs that you like instantaneously. Faith Hill took a song from this album, “Cry” but I really felt she didn’t do it as well as he had orginally. ~J ---

Haven’t heard all of Far From The Sun yet. I’m not a big In Flames fan, but I guess Clayman’s pretty good. Something Wicked This Way Comes is good, but I think it has a couple weak tracks in the middle. Porcupine Tree and Soundgarden aren’t really my thing. Comalies is pretty good, but I’ve only listened to it once, so I can’t really offer an opinion for this thread. If you haven’t already, check out Devin Townsend’s _Infinity_. ---

**Elton John** ’s _“Less Then Zero”_ Every song on the album is great! Also I might add the soundtrack to _Headwig and the Angry Inch_. ---
