Definitely Pain of Salvation and I have to say Dream Theater. I think DT needs to change it up a bit, but I greatly enjoy every album they have put out. Also both bands seem to be incredible live.

I hate to see people posting they're favorite eras of the band in this thread. Seriously. I'd LOVE to say King Crimson, but I only thoroughly enjoy the music before Belew. They've, in my opinion, "gone wrong".
Led Zeppelin - One of the few bands who's line up remained consistent as well as their sound (ok maybe not the very last album) Egg - Even though they released only 3 albums, each one is incredible to listen to. My favorite of Canterbury. maudlin Of The Well - Honestly. Every release tries something new but still has the band's distinct sound. Mahavishnu ... oh nevermind. I don't like funk..

King Crimson to me...even though "The Contrukction Of Light" and "Beat" are less interesting to me... Pink Floyd would be another good choice, probably...but I don't like "A Momentary Lapse Of Reason" and "More" very much...

I think everything Pink Floyd released is brilliant and i enjoy all of it, not many bands I can say that for, find it hard to pick a fave album as well.

Everything depends on definitions: how we define "wrong" ? Yes, it's a personal thing, but listen to GTR and you'll have an idea of what I think is wrong. So both Steve Hackett and Steve Howe are not in the list.

Now, here is a good load of argumentated crap.. You are absolutely right when you said that the problem with music is that it is a personal thing: it is (IMO) about the feeling you get when you are listening to something and therefore I can absolutely love Merci for instance (which i DON'T!) and think it is one 100% of perfection whereas another one can think it is the absolute downfall in Magma's career.
Another thing, this thread is about bands that haven't created anything less than good in your opinion (translated that is three stars, I reckon), I really can't believe so many of you don't have ány band they like and think of as a band that hasn't made any album less than 3 stars...
So don't you go bullsh*tting me about no album being brilliant all the time, 'cause to me, Brave is...!

I suppose Brian Eno... even though he isn't a band per say. Ambient or rock oriented, I always like what he's doing. That's after thinking about it for a while... I mean even Magma has Merci... so. Even with Eno, his collab with John Cale was a tad on the cheesy side, but I still appreciate it for what it is.

I don't think so. It's not a masterpiece but it has right to at least 3 stars. For me it's very better than pros&cons.

Now that I've heard all of their albums, I can't believe that I left off VDGG!

Marillion and Fish, though I have to admit some things have had to grow on me, but at this moment, nothing from either of those artists is average or less than to me. Including live CD's, bootlegs, DVD's, etc. Sometimes the soundquality of the bootlegs get's the best of my ears, but I can't blame the band for it seeing as they haven't really released the material that I am referring to and they even haven't had a hand in recording it, so...

Is there such an animal as a band that can do no wrong?
With every band that I have ever listened to (Spaning 50+ years) there has always been a 'Why did they do that' moment. It may be some small thing like poorly mixed track or a more fundamental issue with the choice of style or lyrical content.
To say that a band can do no wrong surely must mean that the listener is not as concerning as they think they actually are, and, more importantly, not as objective as they need to be.

" Why did they do that?" Sounds like another thread. Hawkwind has a lot of "why did they do that?" Moments. I thought it was all over with Distant Horizons.
