ShockPop 7,747 Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 Can't help but feel anyone listing Katy Perry and Britney spears have lived a short and sheltered life. Jagged Little Pill - Alanis Morrisette The Fame (Monster) - Lady Gaga American Idiot - Green Day A Fever you can't sweat out - Panic at the disco Love Angel music baby - Gwen Stefani Tragic Kingdom - No Doubt Lover/Fighter - Hawksley Workman No Angel - Dido Talk on corners - The Corrs Nevermind - Nirvana Black Holes and revelations - Muse Supernature - Goldfrapp Black Cherry - Goldfrapp Origin of Symmetry - Muse And oldies like Sgt pepper, Night at the opera etc that go without saying.

RAMROD 109,563 Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 I am not sure if this was exclusively for Pop albums or all genres, but here's my list: - Nirvana - Nevermind - Queen - A Night At The Opera - The Beatles - Revolver - Michael Jackson - Thriller - Lauryn Hill - The Misseducation Of Lauryn Hill - H.I.M. - LOVEMETAL - Rage Against The Machine - Rage Against The Machine - Nas - Illmatic - Madonna - Ray Of Light - Britney Spears - ...Baby One More Time - Metallica - Master Of Puppets - KoRn - Life Is Peachy - NIN - The Downward Spiral - Marilyn Manson - Antichrist Svperstar - Blondie - Parallel Lines - Amy Winehouse - Back To Black - Dir En Grey - UROBOROS - Christina Aguilera - Stripped - RHCP - Blood Sugar Sex Magik/Californication These are all I have so far. Newer albums still have to prove it's quality overtime. So I won't put albums released last 5 years as masterpiece cos lol that's silly.

Whispering 18,865 Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 4 hours ago, PopThatArt said: So like how come almost everyone's masterpiece albums are albums by popstars released in the past 10 years? Wow, you need to expand your musical library! Because many people are young and are focused primarily on pop music here. They have limited music tastes. There are also many people here that have a more expanded knowledge of music genres and music history. Maybe some of the very young or musically limited members will check out some of the albums mentioned in this thread? There are many albums mentioned in this thread, from other genres and from more than ten years ago, that are well worth checking out! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
XoXoJoanneGaga 629 Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 Since most people are only listing/only listen to pure pop artists, these albums are near masterpieces in that respect ("pop masterpieces"), but none of them are amongst the greatest albums of all time or anything: Revolver, Abbey Road - The Beatles Tapestry - Carole King Bridge Over Troubled Water, Bookends - Simon & Garfunkel Thriller, Bad - Michael Jackson Parallel Lines - Blondie Madonna - Madonna Purple Reign, Sign O The Times - Prince Hunting High & Low - A-ha Songs From the Big Chair, The Hurting - Tears for Fears Dare - The Human League Skylarking, English Settlement - XTC Violator, Some Great Reward - Depeche Mode She's So Unusual - Cyndi Lauper The Dreaming - Kate Bush Whitney Houston - Whitney Houston Control, The Velvet Rope - Janet Jackson Diamond Life - Sade Rumours - Fleetwood Mac The Sign - Ace of Base Debut, Homogenic, Vespertine - Bjork The Fame (Monster) - Lady Gaga Ultraviolence - Lana Del Rey Visions - Grimes Watermark - Enya Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler 109 Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 There are some pretty low standards for a 'masterpiece' nowadays, it would seem. At least if this thread is anything to go by. Being a great album doesn't automatically make something a masterpiece. I wouldn't say Gaga has made a masterpiece at this stage and I've loved her since 2009. Kate Bush - Hounds of Love, Aerial, 50 Words for Snow David Bowie - Station to Station, Blackstar Björk - Medúlla, Biophilia Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed on Gaga, she certainly doesn't have a masterpiece by the broader definition of the word, but as far as the narrower definition of "pop masterpiece" I would say The Fame + Monster fits the bill or at least comes close.
