It's the obvious choice, but it's hard to top The Beatles. When I was a kid a radio station used to do a Beatles A-To-Z program that ran for a week and hearing their whole catalog on alphabetical "shuffle" more than once demonstrated to me how consistently strong their songs were. To my mind they have more perfect songs than any other rock artist.
James Brown. He wasn't an album artist, but he had as many great singles as anyone, and more groundbreaking than most. Otis Redding's a good choice. His singles catalog's a lot deeper than the three most famous songs.

This could very well be my list too, except I'm not that big of a Zappa fan. I'd add The Smiths, Iron Maiden, Led Zeppelin, Bowie, Tool and Cure too.

Not sure what count as as a perfect song, but my no. 1 album Who's Next has 4 of my favorite songs - Baba O'Riley, Won't Get Fooled Again, Behind Blue Eyes, and Bargain.

Those count in my book. Don't know why some on here claim that Who's Next is an inconsistent album. Most albums would kill to have four songs of that caliber.
Nobody in this thread's tried to define what a "perfect song" is, so it's been interpreted pretty subjectively (which it ultimately is anyway).
