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"

Gerry Rafferty-North and South
Marianne Faithfull-Blazing Away(live recording)
Peter Himmelman-From Strength to Strength

I'm surprised at how many audiophiles "max. out" with three chord rock and fake jazz. What's up with that? I like to rock out and bang head once in a while, but geezeeeee! why?

I like Stevie Ray Vaughn, and find his guitar parts somewhat hard to play. But, someone will probably blast me for not knowing about Jimi and Albert King?

And to that one guy above that had a negitive response. Give me your address, and I will send you a free recorder (if you know what a recorder is). Maybe you could start there and work up. ! :)
