That's all I cold find. I went through my entire digital library and deleted all the fillers from every album and these were the ones left untouched. (The process saved me tens of gigabytes :wink: )

  I'm a fan of MJ's Thriller, but The Girl is Mine is the definition of filler. That song is terrible.

 
 
It topped the R&B singles chart, the single peaked at number two on the Billboard Hot 100 and number eight in the UK. By 1985, it had sold 1.3 million copies, and was eventually certified platinum by the RIAA.
 
You might not like it but a platinum single is hardly a filler!

Posted in this thread over a year ago and figured I'd update as I have discovered a lot of really great music over that span and my standards have been raised and my tastes have changed some. I believe there are many other albums that could qualify for this list by containing no filler so to keep my post manageable I limited myself to albums that I feel are truly special for one reason or another. The bold albums are ones that I put in a tier all by themselves. 
 
Big Black - Atomizer
Brian Eno - Another Green World
Cut Copy - Bright Like Neon Love
In Flames - The Jester Race
Joy Division - Closer
Joy Division - Unknown Pleasures
Pavement - Slanted and Enchanted
Roxy Music - For Your Pleasure
Talking Heads - Talking Heads '77
Talking Heads - More Songs About Buildings and Food
Talking Heads - Remain in Light
The Alan Parsons Project - Eye in The Sky
The Cranberries - Everybody Else is Doing it, So Why Can't We
The Modern Lovers - The Modern Lovers
The Smiths - The Queen is Dead

Parliament - Mothership Connection
Police - Synchronicity
The Brian Jonestown Massacre - Their Satanic Majesties Second Request

All killer no filler :cool:

  Master of Puppets

 
Really? I think it's their best album from a musical perspective but I think the recording itself is rubbish. Muddy & lightweight all at the same time. Quite an achievement I suppose.

  Yep, Roger Waters..."Amused to Death" album has a great production sq. To me it sounds a "live recording" 

 
Amused To Death did (and still does) sound good. As far as I know it pioneered a technology called Q Sound. The intention was to make the sound seem even wider than the spekers would normally appow. The dog barking at the start was specifically included to highlight this. Great album.
