i'd say its rare that an album is completely flawless. in fact, i can only think of a few that are (to me at least)
what about you?
AC/DC Powerage
STONES Let It Bleed / Beggars Banquet / Exile / Sticky Fingers
AEROSMITH Rocks
RAMONES Rocket To Russia / Ramones
STOOGES Funhouse / Stooges
LED ZEPPELIN III / IV / Physical Graffiti
ZZ TOP Tres Hombres
FUGAZI Repeater
LOW Things We Lost In The Fire
RADIOHEAD OK Computer
MY BLOODY VALENTINE Loveless
MILES DAVIS Bitches Brew

Is anything flawless?
I love Funhouse, but I wouldn't care if I ever heard LA Blues ever again. Otherwise that would come pretty close for me.
I won't comment on some of the artists you mentioned, cos they're not my bag, but as I like the Stones I'll just say...
Exile... I just don't get it.
Lazy slobby rock. Give me Beggars, Let It Bleed, Sticky Fingers any day. Why this has become accepted as a 'classic' over recent(ish) years is truly beyond me.
It's like London Calling to me. Over-rated, and - to re-but the usual cliche - no, I'm not sure it'd even make a great single album.
Imo... ; )

That Sex Pistols albums is always a bag of laffs. Just like the Monkees, only louder & more consistent songwriting! ;-)
Last time I put on Metallica's "Master Of Puppets" (driving long distance a couple months ago) that really struck me as still being about as perfect as a metal album gets. Adolescent poetry on a near-genius level and the huuuuugest riffs!

Violent Femmes - Violent Femmes.
Fugazi - 13 songs (Repeater is good, but.. Anyway, actually, 'In on the killtaker' and 'steady diet of nothing' are perfect too really.)
Sugarcubes - Lifes too Good.
Dead Kennedys - Fresh fruit for rotting vegetables.
Oval - Dok.
PJ Harvey - Rid of me.
Velvet Underground & Nico.
African head charge - My life in a hole in the ground.
Young Gods - Young Gods (esp the CD version which includes Pas Mal and Envoye)
Faust - Ravvivando (prolly an unpopular choice from their discography)
Sonic Youth - Daydream Nation
Yo La Tengo - Electr-o-pura
There'll probably be a lot more that spring to mind but it's early in the morning. I figured that most would be bands debut albums, it seems to be the case in general don't it ?
