"When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, "it means just what I choose it to mean - neither more nor less."
"The question is," said Alice, "whether you can make words mean so many different things."
"The question is," said Humpty Dumpty, "which is to be master - that's all."

That might be a fun Sports Bar experiment some time - how many classic albums could we all agree are 100% drek-free? Not many, I'll wager.

I love Paul's Boutique too.
License to Ill is just one of those "Right place, right time" albums for me. It was the first time I'd ever heard anything like it and I was hooked.
Still, I'm surprised by how well it's stood up for me. Maybe because I don't like what Hip Hop has evolved into so for me that is the sound of hip hop.
If I had to pick a flaw on it I guess I'd say Girls. The melody is infectious, but to say it's a little misogynistic would be like saying the KKK is a little racist.

There has to be a weirdest thing. Once we have the concept weird, there has to be a weirdest thing. And DMT is simply it.

Here are a few I'd argue but I doubt anyone would agree.
Dave Brubeck - Time Out
Velvet Underground & Nico
Van Morrison - Moondance
Toots & the Maytalls - Funky Kingston
Bruce Springsteen - Born to Run
Fleetwood Mac - Rumours
Neutral Milk Hotel - In the Aeroplane Over the Sea
I could also rattle off a bunch of Miles Davis and Fela Kuti albums because they only have 2 songs a piece.If DMT didn't exist we would have to invent it. There has to be a weirdest thing. Once we have the concept weird, there has to be a weirdest thing. And DMT is simply it.

Sgt Pepper's is pretty damned flawless, but you'd probably have a tough time getting people to unanimously call it such due to the inevitable "Sitar or no Sitar" debate.

A few more to rip apart.
Radiohead - OK Computer
Old 97s - Too Far to Care
Arcade Fire - FuneralIf DMT didn't exist we would have to invent it. There has to be a weirdest thing. Once we have the concept weird, there has to be a weirdest thing. And DMT is simply it.
