In rock, I would vote for Tears For Fears - Seeds of Love. Their first two albums also should be considered.

Less rock, but still under the broad umbrella of pop/rock, I'll toss out some love to Joanna Newsom's Ys, and follow that up with Munly & The Lee Lewis Harlots.

Stevie Wonder - Innervisions/Talking Book/Songs in the Key of Life
Jeff Buckley - Grace
Alice in Chains - Dirt

The Clash - London Calling

Excellent, but a touch short of masterpiece imo: 

Donald Fagen - Nightfly
Fiona Apple - When the Pawn...
Joni Mitchell - Court and Spark
Television - Marquee Moon
Soundgarden - Superunknown
Dave Matthews Band - Before these Crowded Streets

I might be mistaken, but that is actually what I personally would consider to be prog rock in an operatic ethereal zeuhl kind of way. Amazing stuff anywho. You made me a fan.


I really love that album, and have for quite a long time now.  I love choral rock etc. type albums.  I consider it to be progressive rock, and have suggested it for PA a couple times.  http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=62800

What non-prog (and non proto prog and prog related) pop and rock albums to you consider to be masterpieces?  I don't just mean an album that you enjoy, I mean a full-fledged brilliant artistic masterpiece.  Please include albums that you consider to be progressive but are not included on this site.
 
There are two specific ones that I can think of off the top of my head, the first being Coldplay's Viva La Vida. 
 
 
The second is the obscure but brilliant modern album "Distortion" by the one-man project At Sea.  I'm not sure if this would be considered "prog" or not, but the artist isn't on this site (yet, anyway).  This is one of my favorite albums of all time, and it seems to me to be a mirror of my own soul.  You can listen to the entire thing at this link:
