It's rare to find an album that is stimulating artistically, but is also exceptionally fun to listen to.
Besides pic related, I would say Pet Sounds and some Anco also fits the bill.
What else is there?
I'd say Hunky Dory and Diamond Dogs.

The fact that so many people cite the scaruffi quote as the best pasta shows how far it is from becoming a real art form.
The Smile Sessions
Magical Mystery Tour
Some parts of the White Album
The Mollusk

I really feel like it should have stayed unreleased. The fact is it was a far less interesting album than Pet Sounds, with only a couple really standout tracks (Surf's Up is the best song on the album by a mile).

I agree that Pet Sounds is far better, but I think Smile is more interesting and fun.
lonerism is the sgt pepper of this generation

the way he sings 'she', compared to the way kevin parker sings the line "soon i'll be alone" from this this song: (copy paste or skip to around 1:17)

also, in that same song keep on lying, the guitar riff here: (skip to 4:19 if embed)

reminds me of the opening riff on this beatles song:

and the main guitar riff reminds me of the lick from day tripper

right around 2:15

the production and everything else reminds me of wizard a true star, though

This is the true pop masterpiece.

People who love Tame Impala have the least interesting music taste. Regurgitating ideas from the 1960s with new production effects is not genius, nor is nearly as influential as works such as Pet Sounds and Sgt. Pepper's that inspired bands with an actually original sound.
Olivia Tremor Control is an example of a band that actually experimented with the sound of the 60s without simply adding reverb and fuzz pedals. Try them OP.
This band is rarely discussed on /mu/ yet they are complex while being catchy. So many great tracks by Slapp Happy

Nah, this isn't true at all. Most people who love Tame Impala have heard Olivia Tremor Control, as well as the Flaming Lips or Spiritualized and other notable psych artists

Would consider it more americana, but indeed one of my top albums. His recent slew of singles (Songs Cycled) is also brilliant. Van Dyke Parks is the best lyricist IMO
>>64788613
haha youre wrong
how is tmr fun to listen to?
>>64789337
it's goofy, i can't help but laugh at certain parts
>>64789337
You would know if you listened to it past the 4th song
>>64788653
Hell yeah I'm listening to this now and it's great
