@mjmcubfn I'm a part-time country audiophile when i go to the lake in S Dak for the summer and that's all i get to hear--i agree with whoever said "not much of a fan of the new country" --every song sounds the same with the same chord progression--so not so much audiophile material
I almost put "No Fences" on my list--the first 12 songs are stellar--but i always stop the music when it comes to the last two...
Not much of a Radiohead fan but IMO OK Computer is possibly the best pop record ever, followed by M83’s Hurry Up We’re Dreaming and Elvis Costello’s This Year’s Model.
When it comes to Live albums - Strangers In The Night - UFO
For me every song was 'on it' and is considered by many as one of the best live 'Rock Albums' The band had quite few lead guitarists but on this Album it was MIchael Schenker and he was positively 'smoking'...! His abrupt solo ending in the song 'Love to Love' was one of the finest I heard in live 'Rock' and he was awesome in songs 'Rock Bottom' 'Lights Out' The vocals, piano and rest of the band had such a great synergy and gave such a hundred and ten percent performance ....
Music is so subjective and perfect albums are very arguably not perfect. This is like a desert island disc list. To my taste and liking I can suggest 3 that I don't think have been mentioned...
Concerning REM, I would say that Life’s Rich Pageant was their high water mark, although not every song was good. I think that Murmur and Fables of the Reconstruction also had some very good material.
For me, Document was the beginning of their metamorphosis to political commentary, led I believe by Michael Stipe. That’s when they lost me.
