Seems quite a few of you are finding it easy - really?
Yes, I'd guess there'd not be an album in my top 250 where I'd skip a track? There will be albums with obvious strong tracks but find it hard to understand when I hear somebody saying how great an album is.. And they only have to skip a couple of songs?!

As this thread has been progressing, am I the only one who is imagining all of us working at the record store in the movie 'High Fidelity?'

But no one has mentioned The Beta Band?

August & Everything After - Counting Crows
would probably make #4 in my list
I know it isn’t the most innovative or groundbreaking albums but over the last 25 years it’s probably the one I’ve actually listened to the most and I always really enjoy it.
Many happy memories attached to it. They were a very underrated band, IMHO.

I like Roy's singing on Have a Cigar, it makes a good contrast to the rest of the album.
Gilmour agrees with you. Waters doesn't.

I see the OP has not been back yet but another poster was surprised how easy some of use find this. I could chose loads of Albums from my vinyl and CD collection where there is not, in my opinion at least, a bad track. Several of my favourite artists and bands have been mentioned: The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, Pink Floyd, David Bowie, Genesis, Paul SImon, Fleetwood Mac, Bruce Springsteen and more. So, to pick some slightly more esoteric choices, if you like British Jazz Blues crossover I'd thoroughly recommend:

John Mayall, Blues from Laurel Canyon
Colosseum, Valentine Suite
Keef Hartley Band, Halfbreed

My 3 faves off the top of my head, admittedly not the best 3 albums ever by a long shot.

Sex Pistols; Never Mind The bks.

Paul Weller; Stanley Road.

Hall & Oates; Abandoned Luncheonette.

(The last one is a secret delight, it was long before H&O sold out a bit and started wearing the suit jackets with the rolled-up sleeves etc.)

I'm struggling here.
I have hundreds of albums but virtually all of them have some blatant fillers. But we all have different likes & dislikes.
One man's Don't Stop is another man's Made of Stone, one man's Fitter Happier is another's Karma Police. I could go on...

The only album I've recently re-listened to with what I consider are absolutely no filler songs is probably New Wave by The Auteurs.
It might not be the most spectacularly original LP ever, but I think all the songs are consistently good after much repeated listening.

I've already done my three, but another one that has come to mind that's pure gold all the way thru, Tracey Chapman, the eponymous first album.

It's also one of those albums that sounds so much better on a decent vinyl set up than CD or any digital format.

Controversial to say there are no fillers.
Even George Martin thought half the songs could have been dropped to make a much stronger album.
