Many musicians put out releases which contain all good tracks, i.e. Depeche Mode, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club...a great example is by an underrated 90s hip-hop artist, Imani Coppola lp Chupacabra (I'll put it here), Pink Floyd; there are examples from every decade, every category. Another is the classic jazz/r&b/blue-eyed soul album: Boz Scaggs Silk Degrees.

The term that you're looking for is "deep cut", aka a song that is obscure (at least in comparison with the album's singles) that is also of quality. Filler remains a negative term.
