You know the sort, which albums are there out in music world which are totally perfect, with not a single duff song?

For me, it's Appetite for Destruction. It's all good.

You suggestions, please!

DJ Shadow - Endtroducing

Radiohead - the Bends

Shins - Oh Inverted World
Belle & Sebastian - The Boy with the Arab Strap

And various best ofs, but they kinda defeat the object of the exercise...

I agree with many of the above but I've been a RHCP fan since the late 80s and I don't the Blood Sugar is all that great - some great tracks for sure but some filler IMO.

Black in Black isn't my favourite AC/DC album but I agree no filler.

REM's - 'Automatic for the people' and 'Out of Time' come close.

I think you could make a case for all three Arctic Monkeys albums, although they're a bit too similar.

Demon Days by Gorillaz for sure.
