I reckon Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd is a pretty perfect album. I'm not sure why exactly, and it's not even my favourite Floyd album as far as songs are concerned but it's just perfectly constructed, and when it gets to the end, you don't feel like you've just listened to a row of songs, but one long composition with a beginning, a middle and an end. After all, that is the first thing you learn when you're writing stories so I guess albums should do it too.
