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: http://atseaband.bandcamp.com/" rel="nofollow - http://atseaband.bandcamp.com/ ------------- I love dogs, I've always loved dogs |

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" rel="nofollow - http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=62800 |

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.

Every Smashing Pumpkins album of the 90's. Those albums really changed the way I thought about Music and really made me realize the emotional aspect of Music. Billy Corgan delivers his emotions so vividly through his lyrics - some of the best of all time, in my opinion of course.Not to mention that all four of them were absolutely exceptional players, Billy and Jimmy in particular. I consider them extremely Prog Related, but they're not on this site. Also, Alice In Chains - Dirt Arcade Fire - Neon Bible Pantera - Vulgar Display Of Power  Neutral Milk Hotel - In The Aeroplane Over The Sea Sonic Youth - Daydream Nation and Dirty -------------

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! |

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.

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  ------------- Help me I'm falling! |

Masterpiece albums that are not on PA, with a quick description of each: Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti: Before Today (2010) -- All those catchy little hooks that occur to you in the shower or just as you're getting out of bed, come together in a collision of kaleidoscopic lo-fi wonderment. I discovered it about a year ago and I still listen to this album (and all his other things) obsessively. An absolute knockout. Fiery Furnaces: Blueberry Boat (2004) -- Long, convoluted song/mazes with surreal lyrics, performed by a brother/sister duo. This is their most "prog" album, but I'd be hard pressed to call them a prog band. They certainly get "out there", though, more so than just about any indie rock band I've heard. In fact, they're very hard to get into; I have yet to convert anybody. Jack Bruce: Harmony Row (1971) -- 2nd solo album from the main singer/writer for Cream. Talented on bass, guitar, piano, organ, and cello as well as vocals, Jack produces a dreamy batch of art pop melodies with ambitious, quirky arrangements. Helped out on guitar and drums by Chris Spedding and John Marshall. This is better than any Cream album, IMO. The Kinks: Something Else (1967) -- The Kinks during this period wrote some of the most incredible songs I've ever heard, second only to the Beatles. In fact, if we just looked at singles, the Kinks might actually win. No concept/opera here, just a group of miniature portraits of English characters, both tragic and humorous. Dead Kennedys: Plastic Surgery Disasters (1982) -- Speedy hardcore with lyrics that count. The riffy songs go by in a murky roar, with singer Jello Biafra spitting out sarcastic indictments of society. The first side barely gives you time to breathe; the second side concentrates on longer, more dramatic pieces. And it ends with a super melodic anthem, a sad but resigned piece about beach pollution. The Fall: This Nation's Saving Grace (1985) -- The Fall could do no wrong in the years 1980-1986, and this is the most focused and powerful statement they'd released yet. Major influence from the likes of Can, but with even more slashing guitar and nagging bass hooks. Jo Jo Gunne: Jumpin' the Gunne (1973) -- Semi-obscure spin-off of Spirit, with former Spirit frontman Jay Ferguson leading the way. This is intelligent and highly evolved boogie rock, like an amped-up Guess Who. Just one of those albums where every song makes me jump with glee. Subhumans: From the Cradle to the Grave (1983) -- My favorite punk album of all time. This is punk with prog attitude -- side two is one lengthy suite (the 17 minute title track), which ties together a bunch of different sections and culminates in a glorious climax. XTC: Skylarking (1986) -- XTC's peak. Both Partridge and Moulding were at the top of their songwriting game, and producer Todd Rundgren gives it his all as well, tying the excellent songs together into a cohesive song cycle, beginning with sunny hope and ending with death and darkness. Just a few faves of mine. ------------- My other avatar is a Porsche It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle if it is lightly greased. -Kehlog Albran |

I had their eponymous debut, bought on the strength of Run, Run, Run, but they kind of disapeared from the UK record stores after that. I recall on seeing it much later that "Jumpin' the Gunne" has one of the most, erm, let's say, bizarre, covers I've ever seen.  ------------- What? |

I agree with a lot of those Steve There are however some that I have never heard of before, which definitely are going on my list. Dean highlighted one of those, but Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti and Subhumans sound remarkably like something I should enjoy as well. Thanks for the info buddy Uhh another one I see as a masterpiece, although it's been ages since I gave it a listen, is Type O Negative's October Rust ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack.

No way I'm gonna link to that awful CD reissue. What's the deal with asian record companies always wanting to use updated images of the artists when they reissue classics? Don't they want to sell albums? This makes it look like all their big stars are chubby old grandmother with bad tastes in clothes. And don't get me started on the fonts and design.

Lou Reed - Berlin This one I actually feel would fit in nicely around here. If we one day were able to include sole prog albums by artists that otherwise kept to their pop/hiphop/rock/countrywestern, then I'd definitely vote for this one! My fave from from good old Lou as well. In that same category: Serge Gainsbourge - Histoire de Melody Nelson (The prog quotient probably came from Vannier who orchestrated the music though) ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack.

Hope you like Ariel Pink. I think you and I are similar in some ways, so it just might hit you like a train the way it did me. It really felt like he was channeling my subconscious.

Hey you haven't let me down yet big boy! Loving those Harvey Milk releases - and that is actually quite an accomplishment, seeing as I have been away from metal for so long. Man it's been a while... Love those early Steve Miller Band albums - up until Your Saving Grace - after that he became somewhat lethargic and too rounded off around the edges for my liking.

It's got that inexplicable early 70s charm teamed up with some orchestral shadings. The feel however stays very intimate, and if you're not afraid of foreign lingos, then Serge's voice is pretty damn beautiful. Vannier, who is the magic wizard behind the music, is actually listed here on PA. I have a couple of his releases, and I should think that his eclectic behaviour would suit your tastes well. Especially this one I'd strongly recommend you take a closer look at:

Fully prepared as I am for howls of derisive laughter, I actually think this is one of the best albums released in the 1980s & in my opinion, there's not a dud track on it:

Yeah, I like a lot of old goth stuff, too. The Nephs second album was also excellent. Last Exit for the Lost was one of my favourite songs from that era. ------------- Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy! |

I thought it was a pretty good album, but I wouldn't call it a masterpiece. Just my opinion, though

I'll have to give it a few more listens (and more attentive ones at that). It's definitely intriguing, probably at least a four star album for me. Whether or not it's a masterpiece...well, I'll see about that, but I get the feeling that I didn't even begin to take in the full force of the album, hear all the intricacies, or understand the plot on the first listen. On another note, one of my threads finally got past three pages. Pretty cool, right? ------------- I love dogs, I've always loved dogs |
