generally I'd agree, but for stuff that came out in the 60's & 70's when a lot of music first came out on "singles" it's sort of a different situation. Part of the decisions of what might go on the album was based on what had been the hit singles.

Rod Stewart - Every Picture Tells a Story - I've got to agree, that's another favorite of mine
Buffalo Springfield - their first album, I think it's just called "Buffalo Springfield"
Cream - their first album, Fresh Cream - haven't listened to it in about 20 years probably :-(


and I'll omit their "Greatest Hits" but add "Bridge Over Troubled Water" to my list - - except that I really couldn't stand the title song. Other than that, it was perfect.

For years I said that I hated "Bridge Over Troubled Water". It was too slow, too this, too that. Then one night I was listening to my mp3 library and that song came on and I was shocked to find myself actually enjoying it. The twist is that it wasn't Simon & Garfunkel, but rather Elvis. His version is amazing. I now also appreciate the S&G version, but LOVE the Elvis version. Aretha also has a great version of the song.
 
Perfect Album? I don't think I have an album where I loved every song but some come very close.

Alice in Chains Dirt, Jar of Flies
ACDC: Back in Black
Chevelle: Wonder What's Next
Deftones: White Pony
Eagles: Hotel California
Foo Fighters: Colour & Shape
Green Day: Dookie, American Idiot
Guns N Roses: Appetite For Destruction
Jimi Hendrix: Are You Experienced?
Led Zeppelin: I-IV
Live: Throwing Copper
Lynyrd Skynyrd: Pronounced Leh-Nerd Skin-Nerd
Metallica: Kill'Em All, Ride The Lightning, Master of Puppets, And Justice For All, Black Album
NIN: Pretty Hate Machine, Broken, Downward Spiral
Nirvana: In Utero, Nevermind
Pantera: Far Beyond Driven, Cowboys From Hell, Vulgar Display of Power
Pearl Jam: Ten
Pink Floyd: The Wall
Primus: Seas of Cheese, Frizzle Fry
RCHP: Blood Sugar Sex Magic, Californication
White Zombie: Astro-Creep 2000
Smashing Pumpkins: Siamese Dream
STP: Core, Purple
Sublime: Sublime
Tool: Undertow, Ænima
Weezer: Blue One

Hate away :)
 
Every Rammstein album ever made. Seriously, there are only two or three songs that i don't like, but I still listen to them because even their bad songs are good. Gods, I love them.
 
Chad finally mentioned AC/DC - Back in Black

I'll add

Guns And Roses - Appetite For Destruction
Journey - Escape
Def Leppard - Pyromania
Styx - Paradise Theatre
 
Perfect is unattainable, but here's as close as it gets:


Bonobo - Black Sands
Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon
J Dilla - Donuts
DJ Shadow - Private Press
The Dears - Missiles
Bibio - Ambivalence Avenue
Sublime - 40 Oz To Freedom
Underworld - 100 Days Off


Smoke all the weed you want to those puppies.

Wasn't it entitled Looney Tunes and marketed by K-Tel?
 
Remembered one that was in my disappeared post

Strokes Is This It
Eric Clapton 461 Ocean Blvd.

Another R.E.M. perfect album - Up. If New Adventures in Hi Fi was their Sg. Pepper, Up is their White Album.
 
I have a few,

I find that when a band has a perfect or near perfect album (using the every song is good definition) I end up buying their next several albums hoping that they will be as good. Here are mine in no particular order

No Doubt - Tragic Kingdom
John Mayer - No Room for Squares
Collective Soul - Dosage
Collective Soul - Afterwords
Panic at the Disco - Pretty Odd
Maroon Five - Songs About Jane
Secret Garden - Songs from a Secret Garden (New Age)
Crash Test Dummies - God Shuffled his Feet (their only good album ever, the bums.)
Nickel Creek - Why Should the Fire Die
Enya - Shepherd Moons (new age)
KT Tunstal - Drastic Fantastic
Yanni - Live at the Acropolis


Here are a couple new ones: Both of these are retro with a 60's sound. I can't stop listening to them.
The Like - Release Me
The Young Veins _ Take A Vacation
 
Ben Folds - Rockin' the Suburbs, Whatever and Ever Amen
Collective Soul - Blender, Dosage, Collective Soul
Third Eye Blind - Third Eye Blind
Live - Throwing Copper
Weezer - Weezer (blue)
AC/DC - Back in Black
Guns n Roses - Appetite for Destruction
Journey - Escape
Barenaked Ladies - Maroon
Foo Fighters - Colour and the Shape, One by One
Pearl Jam - Ten
 
Weezer-The Blue Album
Green Day-Dookie
Angels & Airwaves-We Don't Need To Whisper
Blink-182-***** of the State
Muse-Absolution
AFI-Sing the Sorrow
Radiohead-OK Computer
Jimmy Eat World-Futures
Massive Attack-Mezzanine
Alkaline Trio-Agony & Irony

I'm sure I'm missing a few but these are (IMO) the most complete albums of some of my favorite bands.
