What's your "perfect pop album" ?

[Toto4Ever]

By this, i mean an album that in your opinion is faultless from first note to last note, with no filler tracks.

I'm going to kick this off with an album released in October 2020. Nik Kershaw's "Oxymoron" album.

For me, not just the "perfect pop album", but a contender for my favourite album, ever ? 16 tracks, which is rare nowadays, that i never tire listening to....well i haven't yet !

Toy Matinee S/T

Toy Matinee S/T

I TOTALLY AGREE! A masterpiece from songwriting, arranging, playing, singing, engineering, production and a perfect 5.1 mix by Elliot Scheiner! It was one of my first surround discs and remains top of the list.

Emitt Rhodes - self titled

One man Beatles - all killer no filler!

Not to be obvious but Fleetwods Mac's Rumours.

 

[jimfisheye]

I'll go with the most obvious cliche answer possible.
The Beatles - Abbey Road

 

[IMachine]

Frankie Goes To Hollywood is my favorite!

Never heard of either one of these

This album(no matter how it is classified)is a top 20 album all time for me...Steely Dan Aja..no fillers here...if you really love a band....you might not think some songs are fillers...but others might

I'm going to cheat a bit, I suspect. One of my all-time favorite albums is.....wait for it....

ELO's Greatest Hits. I seriously remember getting that on vinyl back in the day. I could NEVER imagine so many pop/rock masterpieces on a single album.

You've never heard of Nik Kershaw ?? Check the '80's ( U.K. artist ) & the Oxymoron album if you like pop, with great melodies & lyrics

Impossible question for me - what constitutes "Pop" (always disliked that as a genre) and so much stuff has elements of all different types of genres. A.M. radio?

I suppose that the benefit of threads like these, is that it allows you to discover music that you never heard of - or you were less than familiar with. Here’s a little taste;

Fairly much in love with Halsey's latest.
