Dino Valenete's solo album from 1968 - sheer emotional beauty.

Sade - Love Deluxe - beautiful soul-pop and heartfelt songs here.

ABBA - The Album
Bryan Adams - Reckless
Elton John - Goodbye Yellow Brick Road (of course)
Richard Thompson - Mock Tudor
Sting - The Soul Cages

I don't know if we count Iron Maiden as a Prog band, being in Prog Related, but if we don't I have to say A Matter of Life and Death and The Final Frontier.

I can understand how one could like them, but I have no idea why they are as highly rated as they are either.

Before anybody thinks of starting a fight over that, note that I said "it's kinda good".

Great album! I like Surfer Rosa slightly more, though.

Highway 61 Revisited - Bob Dylan (Best lyrics ever+best vocals ever+good music=best album ever)

Kick Out the Jams - MC5 (One of the most fun albums ever)

White Light/White Heat - The Velvet Underground (Really cool noise rock [mostly])

The Parable of Arable Land - The Red Crayola (Was so ahead of its time, it's hard to believe this came out in 1967, this puts Sgt. Pepper's so-called "innovations" to shame)

Twin Infinitives - Royal Trux (Takes TMR's idea of "rock played in an unusual way" and applies it to grunge. Really original album)

The Velvet Underground and Nico - The Velvet Underground (I actually think this album deserves to be on this site)
