Definitely Pink Floyd (and yes, I love both Momentary Lapse of Reason and Division Bell), Camel, The Mars Volta, Muse, Yes up until Going for the One, and The Alan Parsons Project short of the album "Eve" which is somewhat good but not perfect. Those are the only bands that I can immediately think of.

I would say Hatfield & the North (their 2 albums + 2 live albums + early single are masterpieces).

It appeared between Nude and Stationary Traveller that are two masterpieces, the release date is not so relevant, I think. However I wouldn't sell out my vinyl copy....

the simgle factor is a good album imo the omly problem is that it is too pop,but remember that it was released in 1982

There hasn't been a band which has done this for me yet.
Riverside comes pretty damn close, however.

Yeah. (But) I don't like A Momentary Lapse of Reason, but I could say Pink Floyd (can do no wrong).
The Beatles, of course! They're the "blueprint". And maybe Canterbury domain can do no wrong either.   |

The only band I can think of is The Beatles, I love every piece of music they made. Other than them, I don't know, I love Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Genesis, and a lot of bands that I like most of their album, or all of them, but there's always some of their stuff that I consider a bit weak compared to some of their best. The thing about The Beatles is that every album they released was better or at least as good as the last one, they would have never disappointed me if I would have been around back then. I'm not a big fan of albums like Please Please Me or With The Beatles, but considering the context they were great albums. Most other bands released the weaker albums later in their career. It probably has to do with the fact that they broke up at the right time, but I believe they would have keep making great albums for a few more years at least.

Sure!
I think so. The Beatles is the only band in the music world that couldnīt do anything wrong. Because they are over the rest. So simple. I like everyone of their greatest albums.
Fab Four!

I love Romanian prog folk band Phoenix. But also Phideaux and Ougenweide can do no wrong for me.

For the longest time I thought Porcupine Tree was a band that could do no wrong,but I found myself disappointed with The Incident when that came out. Before then the only album I felt really had any major weakpoints was On the Sunday of Life, which technically doesn't even count. I think they've maintained a pretty good track record as far as quality consistency goes. I guess The Incident just isn't my cup of tea
Most of my favorite artists have had low points throughout their career, so it's hard to say really. Riverside's a definite candidate, but they also haven't had a particularly long career compared to many of my other favorites.
When it comes down to it I'd probably have an easier time naming certain people that could do no wrong than I would coming up with bands that could do no wrong.

I don't think there's any band that can do no wrong. But, really,it's not a matter of the artists doing anything wrong as it is a matter of the artists perhaps venturing into a style or genre that doesn't appeal to the same people as their old/usual style does.
