Are there any albums you consider perfect?

My daughter gave me an ipod for my birthday and I have been loading music to it slowly. As a perxon who listens to albums start to finish I have been loading albums I consider high quality beginning to end.
Makes me wonder how many perfect albums there are out there. Steely Dan's "Pretzel Logic" is to me perfect. What I mean by perfect is not one sound needs to be added or subtracted to make it better. Funny thing is, "Pretzel Logic" is not my favorite Steely Dan album, but its sound is perfect. I can only come up with a few.
Pink Floyd, "Wish You Were Here"
Tears For Fears, "Songs From The Big Chair"

Great stuff. I agree with almost everything here (which was someone's insightful point earlier).

Bowie's missing, though. Heroes and Scary Monsters, at minimum, make the cut for me.

Much to agree with that's listed above. How 'bout Super Session (Bloomfield/Kooper/Stills),Jeff Beck's Truth, Steely Dan's - Katy Lied, Porcupine Tree's latest ... . There are actually too many to list.

I don't think anyone has covered the Bluegrass Genre so I will step in -

The Gibson Brothers - Bona Fide
JD crowe and the new south - JD crowe and the new south
Johnson Mountain boys - live at the old schoolhouse
The country gentlemen - calling my children home

I agree with Macdadtaxes. I have ELP's Brain Salad Surgery and I don't know why. I got sick of all the old crap that's been in rotation forever. I've seen more than half of the bands mentioned on this thread and with the exception of Steely Dan, I wouldn't go see any of them again. It's like eating a hamburger every day for 40 something years.
