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"

Although I don't think there is a "perfect album" there are several that I consider near perfect in the fact that I can listen to the first song thru until the last with no thought of skipping one:

Roxy Music Avalon
Bryan Ferry Boys and Girls
Moody Blues First 7 albums
Beatles Magical Mystery Tour
Rolling Stones Sticky Fingers
Aftermath (US pressing)
Beggars Banquet
Boston Boston
Cars Cars
Kitaro Silk Road
Michael Hedges Aerial Boundaries
Eric Johnson Tones

And several others already mentioned

Britney Spears, 'baby one more time',
Rock solid bottom, perfect mid, and a top end sweeter
than a pound of honey.

Donald Fagen's "The Nightfly" is one of my favorites. If you like "Pretzel Logic", I think you would like it as well.
