I'm a crazy man, and can't expect others to share my taste for oddball music, but Mr. Bungle "California" is a masterpiece in my mind, in the same league as Bach and Brahms. But much more perverse and funny.
Marillion - Misplaced Childhood (I love how this album flow)
Death Cab For Cutie - Transatlanticism (amazing songs, the order is good too)
Radiohead - Ok Computer (my fave album by them!)
Phoenix - Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix (not a single bad song, probably my favorite album, so far)
Blink 182 - Enema of the State (fast, fun, stupid. It reminds me of my childhood)

Gotta add 1984 by Van Halen (although I don't like House of Pain so much) and recently Dark Roots of Earth. That friggin' rocks.

Forgot another near miss:
Jane's Addiction: Ritual de lo Habitual, negating Of Course
Musically great, though I find myself enjoying Perry's vocals less and less the older I get. And yet I still love Geddy Lee and Jon Anderson...go figure.

Can't believe I forgot this in my other postings...one of the best pop albums you've probably never heard, from a great pop band you've probably never heard of:
The Trash Can Sinatras: Cake
Butt-head would call them a bunch of whiny British mama's boys.

With the exception of the obvious album, I'm gonna try and mention a few that I didn't see while scanning this thread.
Interestingly enough, my first pick goes in a direction that most who know me wouldn't suspect... Perfect album?
Time Out - Dave Brubeck
Set a standard of what a great jazz album should be, and marked a generation of jazz artists. Sticking with jazz-ish type stuff.....
World Gone Strange - Andy Summers
If the first song, title track, doesn't bring a huge smile to your face opon first listen... Yer dead to me! Fine collection of songs.
And now to the more conventional.
Dark Side Of The Moon -
Well, you know who. If I were to pick only one album to demonstrate the "perfect album", this is THE perfect album. Song composition and selection? Musicianship? Production? This isn't even a favorite album of mine... don't get me wrong, I love it, but it's not one of my all time favorites... but it is perfect in every way.
Now on to more standard fare:
Breakfast In America - Supertramp.
Breakfast never sounded so good! Yum!
Crowded House
I would have picked "Together Alone" as it's a fine album, but the song "Black And White Boy" is the chink in the armor on that one.
Since I'm going on about a Finn, I might as well include the other one.
Everyone Is Here - The Finn Brothers
If you love harmonies, and song that talk about real life stuff, like, oh, the jealousies and healing of the relationship that happens between two incredibly talented brothers, here is the perfect album.
Candy-O - The Cars.
Their debut is stellar. This follow up probably doesn't get the accolades it deserves because of the stunning debut. Both albums are quirky, but equally as stunning.
Triage - David Baerwald
You'll not find a darker, politically charge and perfect rant of an album than this. And, at the end of the slow-burn rant, this thing ends with one of the most beautifully expressed songs about loving someone that I've ever heard.
And, finally
Bellybutton - Jellyfish
This is PERFECT pop! Yes, it might rot your teeth with its sweetness, but the musicianship is SOOOOOOOOO good, you'll not mind the multiple trips to the dentist to have those cavities filled! Trust me on this one!
When The King Is Half Undressed
I Want To Stay Home
