Once you think about it, it's actually quite difficult to think of an album that has absolutely no duds or fillers

I don't think a filler is neccesarily a dud. I often found with some that the fillers between two hit singles are often quite an interesting journey between the two.

Another one I think is Def Leppard - Pyromania. woud like to put Hysteria (I am never in the mood for both Love bites and Rocket at the same time) and Adrenalize (make love like a man), but they are close.

Trying to think of more again

I would say High and Dry comes close - although No No No is a bit iffy
I do think Pyromania is tops though - dont know how I missed that one

I think Hysteria was a lot weaker - too many tracks that just dont do it for me

Machine Head - The Blackening
eh?  I didn't think there were any songs on it at all, let alone good ones & certainly not all good ones.

The Blackening reminded me a lot of Dark Angel's "Time does not heal" - lots & lots & LOTS of riffs/ideas, many of them great, but thrown together in fairly disparate fashion to produce a bunch of 7+ minute tracks that kinda blended into one after a while.  JMO, YMMV etc...

I thought that the musicianship that went into the Blackening was phenomenal, and the long songs (just about every track) only seem to last about 3-4 mins or so to me even though there are a couple of songs on that album that are over 10 minutes long. Robbs vocals blow me away on 'A Farewell to Arms' and 'Now I Lay Thee Down' as well.

All I can hear on the Blackening is Robb Flynn screaming "We've been shit since More Things Change" at the top of his lungs.

Winger - Pull (no I'm not kidding)

I know you're not kidding, bloody great album!  At the time it sounded like they were trying to "go grunge" (to a very small extent, of course), but it stands up really well today.  :D

I like most of the rest of your list too, but I'd include nearly all the Clutch albums and for COC I'd go with Deliverance and maybe Wiseblood rather than America's Volume Dealer.

It's a fair point, COC and Clutch are almost flawlessly awesome. I actually only discovered Clutch when they were supporting COC. I go out of my way now to catch them whenever they come over here.
