I'm not much into unconditional love anymore, and I don't think bands that only have 4 releases should count.

I heavily second this. Besides, people are taking this topic off its tracks from the very first page! Come on, it is not about how in some period in time the band/artist was good, it is about bands/artists that Y OU THINK NEVER RELEASED ANYTHING BAD OR AVERAGE!
Come on, everybody! Back to the OP's question, I gotta say Pink Floyd. I have never come across a bad release by them. Really! I love all studio albums (every one of them), all live releases I have seen (official and bootlegs) and most specials/best of/etc. There is an endless amount of PF releases, but none that I have is anything near average.

The topic is bands that can do no wrong. 
Anyway, I agree with you and MovingPictures.

You do have to agree with me, or I will hate you.

The closest for me is Pink Floyd, though some of the first albums have moments I could skip.

I have't listened to Voyage 34 [it's one of the very few PT releases I do not posses, though] I honestly can say, though that I like every bit of music on all 5 of The Mars Volta's studio albums, including the ambience on Frances, Tourniquet Man, and the silence at the beginning of Octahedron.

I'm going to have to go with, there ain't no such animal. I used to be like that with Deep Purple in the early to mid 70's until...Who Do We Think We Are? That kind of soured things a bit.

Hmm...Kraftwerk comes close. But I haven't heard 'Electric Cafe' though.
EDIT: Oh,. I forgot Atoll and The Pentangle.

Electric Cafe is actually quite good; I personally love it.

Opeth have never, ever disappointed me. Even Orchid, their debut, is not bad. Just not as great as what was to come later.
Porcupine Tree, I'm such a fanboy that they haven't let me down yet. I enjoy all of their albums.
I'll add to the list of Zeppelin fanboys. I love everything by them, even the controversial last two studio albums Presence and In Through The Out Door.

Oceansize's discography is pretty much flawless so far.
They aren't my favourite band though - my faves actually are almost bipolar (do great and awful songs).

And lo, the mighty riffage was played and it was good

The one band that didn't disappoint me once the last five years is Riverside and this years record (ADHD) is another triumph of great music.
Another band that is slowly becoming one of my favorites of all time is Phideaux, and this years album Number Seven is such a consistently good follow up to Doomday Afternoon that I will get their next album for sure.

If we're talking albums taken as a whole rather than every song them Echolyn and Anekdoten spring to mind.

As a major Tull-skull since 1978, I can agree with you on that one, Baby. Other artists for me would include Yes, Steve Hackett, Mike Oldfield, Steeleye Span - all old favorites of mine. Of course, I do say that with some qualification: nobody is perfect, and an artist's output is going to variate over time, so not everything will be top quality, but for these, it's all good.
