Can you tell us what you use to judge a song as perfect? What makes the songs perfect that you listed in your initial post ?
I realize that each person has their own personal tastes; but I'm interested in hearing WHY rather than WHAT other people find to be good (or perfect) music.

1) Red Rain - Peter Gabriel
The lyrics and music just go so well together first off; they convey the mood perfectly. Despite Peter Gabriel's fairly limited range he sings the song with incredible passion. The musicianship is just beyond outstanding. The production may be a little over the top -- but it could be justified in this case. There is a simple chord structure that is hidden in complex rhythms and bass lines.
I'll come up with more later.
