Some of mine already listed, but not The Houston Kid by Rodney Crowell (which really needs to be issued on LP). Did I miss any of Randy Newman’s early albums, Good Old Boys in particular?
IMO very, very few bands have produced perfect albums, as that demands and requires superior songwriting, which almost all bands lack. Imo, of course. One exception is The Kinks, whose Ray Davies’ songwriting is sublime. Their Face To Face, Something Else By, and Are The Village Green Preservation Society are perfect albums, imo better than ANY of their contemporaries. He on his own wrote better songs than the combined talents of Lennon & McCartney. Jagger and Richards? Surely you jest! ;-)
