If we're talking about artists who have whole discographies that are really solid besides one or maybe two albums
D'Angelo
Jaco Pastorius
The Smiths
Parliament/Funkadelic (Everything, like another poster said)
Bjork
Diana Ross
Black Flag
The Doors
Erykah Badu
Frank Zappa (Crazy amount of quality)
Gil Scott-Heron
Marvin Gaye (Although there are more than a couple albums I'd skip; Mostly in his earlier works)
James Brown (Of Course)
King Crimson
Otis Redding
There are probably a lot more I'm forgetting; and there are plenty who have some really good albums but a lot of average ones or below average too
and plenty who have a long string of bad albums in the tail end of their career
