QOTSA - Songs for the deaf
Ridiculously good album
Hey, this was gonna be my response!
Then you Sir/Madam have great taste!
honestly any QOTSA album will deliver, self titled and Rated R are great, maybe a little raw, SFTD is perfection, and each album after gets a little weaker for me, but are still great albums.
IMO, Like Clockwork is their best album besides Songs For The Deaf.
might check this out!
Highlight for me is Song for the dead. Dave Grohl on the drums for the whole album. No longer listen to it in the car because it makes me drive like an arsehole.
Astral Weeks by Van Morrison
Merriweather Post Pavillion - Animal Collective
A Seat at the Table
Something by Matchbox 20 of course
- Liquid Swords by Genius/GZA
- A Love Supreme by John Coltrane
- Live at the Apollo by James Brown
- Live and Dangerous by Thin Lizzy
Facestabber- Thee Oh Sees
Amy Winehouse - Back to Black
If you want an album that is perfectly composed as such, Metropolis Pt 2 - Scenes from a memory by Dream Theater.
For a perfect collection of songs, Spilt Milk by Jellyfish.

Probably Dark Side of the Moon from Pink Floyd or Abbey Road from The Beatles. Those two albums are often seen as the definition of albums being one cohesive work of art, not just a collection of songs.
