Perfect Albums 

If Pete just did these shows 24/7 I would give up on cable TV for good.

"Pardo and Popoff" sounds like a Law firm that advertises on late night TV and specializes in class action settlements.

Van Halen- Self-Titled Boston- Self-Titled The Who- Who’s Next The Doors- Self-Titled The Rolling Stones- Let It Bleed

Pete Pardo and the SOT channel bring me hours of joy, especially during these crazy and challenging times over the last year.. And I just wanted to say thank you.

Rush- Hemispheres and Moving Pictures Supertramp- Crime of the Century Pink Floyd- Dark Side, Wish you Were Here and Animals Steely Dan- Aja The Who- Who's Next

I've always felt that Boston's debut album is the most perfect album ever made. The sound balances are the best.

Boston - Boston was the first thing that came to mind when I thought of a "perfect" album. Great songs front to back, I think my favorite is Hitch A Ride. That sudden transition from slow to fast in the second chorus, the way that last solo slides in following the quiet chorus, just gorgeous songwriting

Pink Floyd - Piper at the Gates of Dawn Talking Heads - Remain in Light Soft Boys - Underwater Moonlight The Who - Tommy The Beatles - Rubber Soul

Led Zeppelin Physical Graffiti The Who Who's Next Rolling Stones Sticky Fingers Pink Floyd Dark Side Of The Moon The Doors The Doors Allman Brothers Band Live At Fillmore East Heart Dreamboat Annie CCR Green River

Ah yes, i love these shows with Martin. Just what i needed today, thanks Pete.

You guys are fun. Even though I'm not a "metal" fan, your descriptions are great. I do like a lot of your other favorites, and that's what keeps me listening.

Instead of the FM rock station I will go to the other end of the dial: Joy Division - Unknown Pleasures Wire - Chairs Missing Cocteau Twins - Heaven or Las Vegas Dead Can Dance - The Serpent's Egg Hüsker Dü - Metal Circus My Bloody Valentine - Loveless The Orb - U.F.Orb The Smiths - The Queen is Dead The Wedding Present - Bizarro The Misfits - Static Age

Quite a list but these for sure: Revolver - Beatles Sticky Fingers - Stones Aja -Steely Dan Animals - Floyd Innervisions - Stevie Wonder.

For me, the first album that came to mind was 'Ram' by Paul McCartney. A completely nostalgic choice that I always have to listen to the entire album. If I don't, I get earworms of the songs I didn't listen to.

The back of the Boston album had a multi-paragraph write-up that concluded each paragraph with "Listen to the record!". Boy, were they right!

Always love the Martin shows. I’d definitely watch a part two.

My perfect albums: AC/DC - Highway to Hell The Rolling Stones - Sticky Fingers The Doors - The Doors David Bowie - Aladdin Sane Duran Duran - Rio

The perfect album is the album you played so much, you never need to here it again.

It's so awesome to see everyone's lists.

The first album I thought of when I saw the topic was "Boston". Called it.

Probably in the wrong crowd here, but Bridge over Troubled Water - S and G Also, Jailbreak - Thin Lizzy

Deep Purple - Machine Head Lynyrd Skynyrd - Second Helping Beatles- Abbey Road Ted Nugent - Ted Nugent

I always enjoy the times when Pete Pardo and Martin Popoff discuss a topic. When the two of them are involved, you know you are for a treat. As I watched this video, I was once again impressed with Pete's hosting abilities and Martin's knowledge of the music. And I appreciate that Martin will listen to a contrarian opinion about a song, band, or album. He has a way of appreciating the point and then brings in his thoughts on the topic in a non-offensive manner. These two guys are masters of their craft! Great video!

A perfect album for me is Phenomenon by UFO, every track is perfect and I love the album cover!

SO, so difficult to limit to five.

Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band The Jimi Hendrix Experience: Are You Experienced? Van Halen: Van Halen Yes: Fragile ZZ Top: Tres Hombres (and WAY too many more to list...)

Great idea! Would love to see more! Fire of Unknown Origin is to me a perfect album. Great flow and mixing the BÖC hard rock with some new wave and art pop influences is giving the album endless replay value. Also Sad Wings of Destiny by Priest, Aqualung by Tull, Peter Gabriel 3 and Sheharazade by Renaissance spring to my mind.

Watching these old shows again . Love the retro sot!

Bottom line the first Van Halen is not only the perfect album from start to finish but the best debut album of all time. Not one bad track on this album.

I can tell Martins a true Punk at heart, lol... A Hell Yeah to ACDCs Highway to Hell , my favorite Lp of theirs . Non stop kick ass Rock , beginning to end, so underrated !

1. AC/DC - Back In Black 2. AC/DC - Powerage 3. Guns N Roses - Appetite For Destruction 4. Van Halen - Van Halen II 5. Metallica - Master Of Puppets

I think "Let There Be Rock" is pretty perfect. Love every Track.

Pete, I am compiling all of the albums that you guys talked about here on the show as perfect or near-perfect albums for about a year now because I have watched your videos since late 2019. I just want to say your videos matter to me a lot and I gain so much knowledge about new artists or albums I haven't heard from this channel. It is just a terrific experience just to listen to so many great songs. You should definitely make another "perfect albums" video and I might need another hard disk to have bigger memory space for all those songs. Thanks again. God bless you.

Standing by for part two!

Steely Dan: Aja Pink Floyd: Animals Rainbow: Rising Black Sabbath: Sabotage

Fear Factory - Demanufacture Metallica - Ride The Lightning Uriah Heep - Demons and Wizards NiN - Pretty Hate Machine Dream Theater - Images And Words

Would love to see part 2.

I'm happy to see that I own most of them and that several are in my favorites too. 👍👍👍
