Artists Seemingly Incapable of Laying a Turd

I offer up a few artists I like simply because they have never released a crappy album their entire career...

Tom Waits
Elvis Costello
Steve Earle
Paul Weller
Wilco

Who are yours?

Everything else pretty much is extremely great and inspiring including lectures. I would assume that in his opinion Boston Pops is a turd.

PF with "Music from the Body" "The Final Cut" "Pros and Cons..."(I know, it could have been The Wall, but it Did Not!!) Genesis, Van Der Graaf Generator, Dead Can Dance, Tchaikovsky, Ligetti, Mozart, Beethoven, Dvorak..., all produced some "fillers" I cannot relate to. Steven Wilson and Porcupine Tree made me cringe more than once, but I still consider S W being the reincarnation of PF!!! Not being able to produce a Turd means they are "serving the goodies", the prev posts lists some of them...
