Perfect Albums

Of all their great albums The Groundhog's Split was their best album (a tough choice).

The best tune:
Although it spotlights Bandleader Tony McPhee, rather than the whole band:

 
The Yes Album

Their third album, but, Just like Supertramp as I mentioned above, this is the album that brought it all together for them. An album where every song is a favorite:

Great pick and I agree with your "Crime of the Century" Supertramp pick too.

I would add:

1) Yes - Close to the Edge
CTTE is considered by many to be the best Progressive Rock album ever recorded.

2) Genesis - A Trick of the Tail
I actually like Selling England by the Pound more, but it's not a perfect album.

3) Steven Wilson - The Raven That Refused to Sing
My opinion is this 2013 release is the best Prog Rock album since the 70s glory days.

4) MahavIshnu Orchestra - The Inner Mounting Flame
The debut album and the greatest Jazz Fusion album to ever be released. The intensity and speed at which this band plays is astonishing.

5) Steely Dan - Aja
Every song is a banger. The title track, Josie, Black Cow and Peg are among my favorite songs from Steely Dan and they are all on this one album.

There are other albums I could list from the rock, jazz and classical worlds but this is a start.
 
Usually Greatest Hits albums should not be considered perfect albums but Waylon Jennings is the exception. Plus the album cover.
