I don't have any bands that I feel could do no wrong. Almost every band, even bands that get awfully close for me... Genesis, Floyd, Crimson, Zappa, Yes, Zeppelin... have all produced things that didn't appeal to me from time to time.

That said, being a drummer myself, there are drummers that I love everything they ever played and they;ve inspired me.
Bill Bruford from Yes, Crimson, Bruford, Earthworks...Tony Williams from Miles Davis, Lifetime, New Lifetime, VSOP, TW Quintet ...Terry Bozzio from Group 87, Zappa, Missing Persons, Bozzio/ Levin/ Stevens, Jeff Beck Group, Polytown, etc.... Simon Phillips from Protocol, Townsend, The Who, Toto, Protocol II...Jack DeJohnette from Miles Davis, Compost, Keith Jarrett, Directions, New Directions, etc.

I agree with you about Mr. Bungle and Fantomas. I will also throw in Moonchild Trio, being Mike Patton on vocals, Trevor Dunn on bass (1/3rd Bungle right there!)and Joey Baron on drums, playing the music of John Zorn. I've only heard one Secret Chiefs disc, so don't know them well enough.

Everon and Enchant comes to mind. Can't think of a weak album from either of these fine bands. Also (although they have delved away from the prog sounds in their latest releases) Nightwish is another addition. And finally, even though they only have two (perfect) albums: It Bites.

I'm gonna add Vanden Plas to my list as well cause the last 12 years they've been unbelievably excellent, and their latest album 'Chronicles Of The Immortals pt 1' is really their best work yet and they even took a slightly different direction with their transitions and melody constructions in their songs overall.
This is a band that has released 5 amazing albums in a row. They are on to something. :)
I hope many will enjoy their latest effort as much as I have so far. I feel you can do know wrong giving your ears a taste o quality German Prog metal.
Gimmie my headphones now!!! 🎧🤣

^ I was thinking about mentioning Steely Dan (was just listening to them). Not only do they not have a bad album in the bunch, they don't even have a bad song in the bunch! ... Really! 
New album!

King Crimson for me ,and Steely Dan.....there's not an album by either that I don't enjoy listening to though of course I have favorites with both bands.
One does nothing yet nothing is left undone.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. Although I feel there's a bit of lack of variation in his music, I haven't heard an album from him that I thought wasn't any good.
I've only heard Rock Bottom a couple of times and recall being quite disappointed with it.  Not really sure why, but its title seemed more appropriate to me then it should have.

The Beatles, Beardfish, The Mars Volta, and King Crimson are some bands that quickly come to mind.

Those that haven't put out too many albums... Wink
Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

You may be right with Anglagard. They are an example of my favorite type of band. They only release quality material no matter how long it takes. Mr Bungle was the same. Can't think of any others at the moment

Everything I've heard from these three has indeed been brilliant. On the other hand, I have not heard everything. Rush I would also include being a huge fan. Even their debut album is a solid rocker. Led Zeppelin too. Iron Maiden comes close for me. I don't really like Fear of the Dark, but every other album is good to fantastic.

I agree. Even though I am not to fond of some of the earlier material like Lobotomizer and the EP's of that time, there are still a lot of interesting things going on. From Demon Box and onwards they have been flawless. Their will to experiment and still succeeding is almost unbelievable to me. The most consistent band I can think of.
Yeah, I haven't heard Lobotomizer, or any of their EP's or live albums, so "I haven't heard a bad MP album" is what I should've said.

In my opinion Univers Zero, King Crimson, Pink Floyd, Swans are such bands. Maybe Phosphorescent Dreams is not the one of UZ's best albums, it is preety good and I enjoy it. And I cannot wait longer for the new Swans' album To Be Kind and hope I won't change my mind about this awesome group. :D
