I love Forever Changes. I used to be Tubes admirer too, indeed with Remote Control as favorite album of them, but haven't listened to them in quite some time. |

The best Huey Louis and the News album! Good choice it is a masterpiece great songs from start to end. Bands often frontload their albums these days but EC didn't need or try to with this as it finishes as strongly as it starts. I think its his best album but probabaly not progressive in any way

My favourite albums by non prog bands might be contenders:
Love - Forever Changes (great sixties album)
The Tubes - Remote Control (arguably their best album ,themed around Television as many of their songs tend to be and pruduced by Todd Rundgren)
Al Stewart - The Last Days Of The Century (Al's best album ,this is real quality)
all those are collections of songs so I'm not sure that they could be termed 'masterpeices' but they are easily 5 star albums in my book.

That one is included ... but yes, that is a hell of an artistic statement.
Amen to that!
DP, the Zeps, and the Who are all on the site. Edited by Dayvenkirq - June 27 2012 at 00:46 |

Has no-one else heard Matthew Sweet's `Altered Beast'?! One of my all-time favourites! :)
Noisy alt-pop/rock with occasional country elements, very sarcastic and pessimistic lyrics, superb Byrds-influenced harmonies? Wish I knew how to post those Youtube samples/clips of the album on here! |
