Perfect Albums

So I'm so happy to know it's not so.

FTR (see what I did there?) I had no concept of an album at all when I was a teen.
Because I didn't have a private music source, so the best I could hope for was listening to one side of the record or cassette.
I knew albums in half, and was always most familiar with the first half. When I was in a position to listen to the whole album it was so tricky to skip tracks that the songs which didn't appeal immediately couldn't help but grow onI me.

Even so, my most perfect album is Crowded House's Woodface.

Oh no, I love me some Queen. My brother had News of the World, and I loved "All Dead All Dead" and "Sheer Heart Attack" and "Get Down Make Love."

Really, Queen is one of my all time favorites.

Nobody shuts off the car when Bohemian Rhapsody is playing, nobody.
