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"

I'd assert The Pretenders 'Learning to Crawl" also.

Maybe Elton's "Don't Shoot Me I'm Only the Piano Player" also, but I have to give that another listen...haven't spun it in awhile.

Elton's "Capt. fantastic" also. Great sound quality also!

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.
