I had like six "perfect" albums listed, then I wrote Pet Sounds except for Pet Sounds and realized that's actually what we were talking about.
Jethro Tull - Thick as a Brick [Few ups and downs when it's all the same song.]
Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here [I always preferred it over Moon, and Moon is just iconic.]

I love it. I LOVE MoR...but on balance I just don't get as much out of tunes like Lord of this World and After Forever as everything on Vol 4. Different strokes... MoR is an absolutely complete album though. If they filled that minute and a half that FX takes up on Vol 4 with Orchid it would be a perfect album.
I feel like the Metallica answer is Ride the Lightning with the song we can do without being Escape. The band didn’t even want to make the song but were pressured into making a more radio-friendly track.
Band: KISS
Album: Destroyer
Song: "Great Expectations"
Just a song I never connected with on an otherwise absolute rocker of an album from my youth.

This is another big one for me. IMO LA Woman is perfect except for Jim Morrison's ridiculous harmonica imitation on Cars Hiss By My Window. Remove those seconds from the record and it's absolutely flawless.
I consider Wish You Were Here to be perfect. In my opinion it's flawless. Not one note or lyric out of place. It's a truly remarkable work of art.
Don't Follow is such a perfect closer and it's an EP so it's not like it needs to be longer.
Hyacinth House is one I always enjoy. I don't seek it out, but it seems so....Morrison... at that moment in time.
"Why did you throw the jack of hearts away?
It was the only card in the deck that I had left to play
And I'll say it again, I need a brand new friend
And I'll say it again, I need a brand new friend
And I'll say it again, I need a brand new friend, the end."
It's the "one bad song" but otherwise perfect.
"The Lady in My Life" is pretty obviously the weak song on Thriller...not horrible but not on the level of the rest and doesn't fit great.
On Purple Rain I really think every single track is great and fits.
More recent, but Dropout Boogie was perfect except for Your Team is Looking Good. Just kinda off compared to the rest of the album.
Otherwise, Dark Side of the Moon minus Money. The song is fine but it just didn’t in the tone of the album to me.
