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"

This isn't as easy a choice as you might think. I will try to list them the best I can. They might be flawless but they're not necessarily my favorites. Here's mine:

Miles Davis: Kind of Blue - I believe to be the most flawless album of all time

Pink Floyd: Wish You Were Here - Simply a masterpiece of prog music

Pink Floyd: The Wall - The most cohesive concept album ever made

Pink Floyd: Meddle - Echoes itself makes this perfect

Boston: Boston - The best debut album I've heard The

Eagles: Hotel California - Where's the filler?

The Sex Pistols: Nevermind the Bollocks - 39 minutes of pure unadulterated punk

The Beatles: Sgt Pepper - I think the best of the Beatles output

Jethro Tull: Aqualung - Simply brilliant

Tool: Lateralus - This is what metal is all about

Joni Mitchell: Blue - Soulful and heartfelt

Bob Marley: Legend - I know it's a compilation but it's essential

Led Zeppelin: Zoso - Needs no explanation

Chicago Transit Authority: Chicago Transit Authority - Perfect blend of rock/jazz
