Some crackers there.
 
I agree with the thought that nothing is perfect. There are many close calls above but I can't see these.

The Ramones - The Ramones
Bobbie Gentry - The Delta Sweete

These are all classics...

...apart from The The - who weirdly I never took too (wrongly I now know).
 
Flawless for me - not a duff track on them:

Auteurs : New Wave
Bowie: Station To Station
Neutral Milk Hotel : In the Aeroplane Over the Sea
Pixies : C'mon Pilgrim
Pavement: Slanted Enchanted
Smiths: Hatful of Hollow (OK not technically an album)

deeply unpopular wildcard pick

Carter USM : 101 Damnations

Honorable mentions

Bowie : Low and Lodger
T Rex : Electric Warrior
Blur: Modern Life
Queen: Sheer Heart Attack
De La Soul : 3 Feet High
Public Enemy : It Takes a Nation of Millions

And many many more...several of which are mentioned upthread! With a lot of Bowie's output ,although I love it, the cover versions let the albums down and would be better off without them ( Hunky Dory / Aladdin/ Ziggy ) thus not making them flawless for me.

Edit : the one on Station to Station is brilliant though!
