Well I know a lot of amazing pop albums.

Like Felt Mountain by Goldfrapp -- Ambient, Trip Hop, Dream Pop, Baroque / Chamber Pop

Also Tales of Us by Goldfrapp and Black Cherry by Goldfrapp, but Black Cherry is more on the electropop side

Speak For Yourself by Imogen Heap -- Folktronica, Ethereal Wave, Indietronica, Elements of dream pop and a little trip hop.

Every Bjork album ever, but Especially Debut, Post, Homogenic, Vespertine, and Vulniculara

Bounty and Kin by Iamamiwhoami -- Dream pop, synthpop, triphop, New Wave, electropop, downtempo

Put Your Back N 2 It by Perfume Genius -- Kind of a weird mixture between dream pop, alternative r&b, indie pop, chamber pop, very beautiful, sad album, gay pop

I am a Bird Now by Antony and the Johnsons -- Baroque / Chamber Pop

Not a Pretty Girl by Ani DiFranco -- Indie Folk, lots of pop elements but not striclty pop

Saturday's = Youth by M83 -- Shoegaze, Dreampop, new wave, ambient

Fever Ray -- AMAZING ambient pop, trip hop, downtempo album

The Knife, omg

Every album by the Knife is amazing

Their first album, their selftitled debut is a three way juxtaposition between ambient, synthpop, and trip hop

Their second album, Deep Cuts is the reason the synthpop revival happened. Incredibly influential, albeit zany album.

Their third album, Silent Shout, probably their most accessible work, takes out the zany brightness of Deep Cuts and switches it with something much darker, incorporating elements of dark ambient, minimal techno, tech house, industrial, and IDM, while still keeping to their synthpop roots.

Their fourth and final LP, Shaking the Habitual is completely crazy and probably the most experimental pop album that's ever been made, verrrry long, linear, repetitive tracks, serious elements of drone, their most ambitious and transformative album.

If you take anything from this post, it's that you should listen to The Knife because they are amazing.

LP1 by FKA Twigs -- Trip Hop / Experimental R&B, elements of dream pop, definitely at the forefront of this new wave of R&B

Visions by Grimes -- Kind of darkwavey, witchousey, synthpoppy, sort of thing... Elements of Dream Pop... Very dancey, yet somehow ethereal.

Crystal Castle's debut album, self titled -- Electropop/Electropunk, chiptune, elements of noise and synthpop

Give Up by The Postal Service -- Chiptune, indie pop

Obsidian by Baths -- Futurepop, Glitch, IDM, chillwave

Exo

Those are all perfect examples of what pop can do however to the general person, I wouldn't consider those things pop. ChelseaDagger may like a few of those suggestions but that's starting somebody out down the line of pop progression instead of at the basics.

Great list though.

I think everyone can get into The Knife.

Some of the suggestions were applicable. The Knife included. The Postal Service too. Everything else is starts to get into taste preference. Not everybody likes Bjork...although they should.

I also can't imagine Goldfrapp to be particularly difficult.

So far I like Imogen Heap's Daylight Robbery... It has this 90s twist that has always resonated with me... Good beat for bellydance too... Will keep you posted as you have given me a lot of homework todo good thing I've been a nerd since before it was socially acceptable
