Which artist has made the most good albums without ever making a great one?
For me, The Black Keys come to mind.

Man that's a good question. Though nothing is hitting me at the moment.

R.E.M. honestly. Lots of solid records in their early run like Murmur but they never really hit the consistency on any of their records that make me go ohhhhhhh this is the classic.
Edit: Maybe Isis too? I've never really been wowed. They're a little turgid to me in their realm.

Maybe Lil Wayne? I still have to listen to more of his projects though.

Completely agree on R.E.M. lots of good albums but nothing that stands out to me as "great". Agreed on Black Keys too.
The Police also come to mind for me. All of their albums are elevated by their great singles, but not one of the albums really stands out to me as a great piece. Although by that same logic, there's tons of artists from the pre-album era that fit the bill: Elvis, Chuck Berry, Sam Cooke, and Al Green come to mind as potential examples.

Firstly Sam Cooke has the greatest live album of all time so jot that down and secondly....
Mind you I agree with the Police. Kind of boring in the grand scheme of the scene they were part of.

I can see Elvis and Chuck Berry, although I haven't listened to enough of their LPs. Al Green is not from the pre-album era, and I consider all five of his LPs that I've heard great.
