Aphex Twins Ambient Works. Now thats a friggin masterpiece...ashamed of myself that I forgot it!
 

 
Actually, I just looked at your list and realized I left off like 5 haha. You have almost identical musical tastes as mine. I mean eerily similar
 
The only thing that I might not agree with is Peal Jam and NIN. I think both are great bands, they just don't really do anything special for me

I actually think I've just discovered one of these last week: Nick Cave's No More Shall We Part. I'm sure I'll miss some, but some other good candidates (including some already mentioned) would be:
 
Queen, A Night at the Opera (and no, "God Save The Queen" is not filler!)
Led Zeppelin, Led Zeppelin IV
Roy Harper, Stormcock
Joni Mitchell, Blue
Fairport Convention, Liege and Lief
Kate Bush, Never For Ever (although The Dreaming is actually my favourite)
Radiohead, OK Computer
David Sylvian, Secrets of the Beehive
Laura Nyro, New York Tendaberry

Why hello there.

Varied list - but my collection is wide and varied ....
 
Adele - 21
Amy MacDonald - This Is The Life
Dire Straits - Love Over Gold
Inception OST
Pink Floyd - DSOTM, Wish You Were Here
Porcupine Tree - In Absentia
 
For my tastes, none of the above has a filler.  YMMV.
 
I know we're not supposed to mention classical - but the 'violinist' here is definitely modern, and the album is amazing :
Julia Fischer (and the Russian Philharmonic) - Tchaikovsky : Violin Concerto in D

No one else?
 

 
I admit that tracks 3 & 9 can sound like <less> than his beautiful melancholy but that may be because I want to stay in most of the songs and not move on to anything else.
 
It's the only album that I can think of that I am happy to have stuck in my head...
 
Have to vote for OK Computer too.  Got to the point that I wouldn't forward through "Fitter Happier" even while working out.  
 
(Maybe because I actually was exercising more than "three times a week at the gym"?  Now I spend too much time on Head-Fi.)

No filler on these, imo.  I can play them from beginning to end and I enjoy each and every track.
 
Beatles - "Revolver"
John Coltrane - "A Love Supreme"
Charles Mingus - "The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady"
Julian Bream - "Plays Granados and Albeniz"  (not sure if this one fits the criteria, but I love it more for Julian Bream's playing than the song selection)
Shona Laing - "South"
The Sundays - "Reading, Writing and Arithmetic"
Kate Bush - "Hounds of Love"
Embrace - "Out of Nothing"  (Near Life is a bit weak, but I let this one slip in as I usually don't skip it)
Fleet Foxes - "Fleet Foxes"
Shearwater - "Rook"
Thelonious Monk - "Brilliant Corners"
House of Freaks - "Monkey on a Chain Gang"
a-ha - "Lifelines"
Crowded House - "Temple of Low Men"
Replacements - "Let it Be"  
 
There are more - but this is just a sampling of stuff that happen to be relevant to me, at this particular moment.

Seems to me there is a few of people just listing thier favorate albums here...  Are we looking for flawless? or just our faves?
 
I know it's hard (if not impossible) to find any kind of objectivity in music taste, but to list every album by a favorite band.... they would have to be the greatest band of all time to have all flawless albums. And not even Justin Biber is capable of that! 
 
 FLAWLESS!   not favorite!!  (sorry just a rant
