I'd like to second Tom Waits. I mean, not all of his stuff totally blows me away, but I don't think the man has ever written a BAD song.
I'd also definitely nominate VU if we could collectively agree to ignore the album released 3 years out of their working album-a-year rhythm, and which featured neither John Cale NOR Lou Reed. I think it's a travesty that such a piece of garbage has to be tacked on to the VU legacy in the first place.

Steve Ray Vaughan only made great albums (four of them) but they aren't normally heralded as classics so that is probably nothing more than a personal opinion. All of Jimi Hendrix' albums are great and generally considered as such, although there are only three of them (four if you include the also very good Band of Gypsys live). Sex Pistols made one perfect album, everything else is "posthumous" releases, but one album really isn't a catalog. The Beatles' early efforts aren't good enough to call their catalog perfect and yeah, most of those who stick around normally end up issuing a stinker at some point in their career.

Even if I give you a pass on Angles, I can't believe you can look me square in the eye and call First Impressions of Earth an "excellent" album. |
i admit that First impressions is the only album of the Strokes where's there some quite bad songs (3 awful songs), but on the other hand there so much perfect songs on this album that i consider it excellent anyways.

you know i'm crazy about SY, but come on ! some albums are just average or just nice. i know you like Confusion Is Sex, but it's really an average album, at least far from great. Rather Ripped and A Thousand Leaves are just nice also.

I think that each SY album has its own fans. They make up a brilliant catalog (the albums, not the fans).
And that song shift to "I Wanna Be Your Dog" on Confusion Is Sex is

For me it's the Arctic Monkeys four perfect albums that each have their own distinctive style and complement the others. If they had a B side album I'd keenly add it to the list!
