What is the largest discography by an artist/band you consider flawless?

What do I mean by that? What artists/bands do exclusively have albums that you consider great - not necessarily 10/10s, but close to that, not a single album that you would consider "meh". This is easier for artists that did not release a lot - sure, I guess I would say The Postal Service only have great albums, but they only have one. I can also think of a few two-great-album-bands (e.g. Joy Division), but it gets harder and harder with larger discographies. Many of my favorite artists have many great albums - but also weak ones (Radiohead, for example, is definitely not an example of "only great" in my opinion, the Beatles aren't either).

I am having a harder time thinking of artists with larger discographies and only great albums. Portishead (3 albums) would be one, maaaaybe LCD Soundsystem (4 albums) could be considered, but that is already a stretch for me. What do you think?

Head Extreme Elite - okay for a first racket?

Edit: thanks for various suggestions, but I'm really not interested in any rackets with a price point >100€ at the moment. I just want something decent for a relatively new hobby and don't want to pay 4€ in rental fees every time I play - don't want to spend all that much before I know I will really make it a habit.

I've been playing padel a few times now and have been renting rackets and have now realized this is a stupid thing to keep doing if I want to keep playing, as I basically paid for half a racket in renting fees already, haha. I am now eyeing this racket which I could buy for around 70€, does this seem like an okay choice (despite being ugly, lol)?

I would not say I'm a complete beginner anymore, as previous experience in tennis/table tennis/squash definitely also helps me, but obviously not all that advanced after maybe 7, 8 times playing; and I'm still finding my playing style, but I definitely need a racket with which I can play with a bit of spin too. So what I'm looking for is basically a racket that I'm not completely lost with as a somewhat-beginner, but that is also okay for intermediate play.

Thanks a lot in advance!

Edit: as automod encouraged me to add more info on the racket:

Foam: Power foam
Shape: Diamond
Weight: 365g
Balance: 270
Price: from what I can tell, 120€+ at most retailers that still carry it (released in 2023), I found it for 74€
