I am confident enough in my own judgment and musical knowledge to herald this a pop classic regardless of any sniping from metal kids and especially indie bores who'll try to convince you that just because it's not on a small label or was written by a bunch of producers that it holds no artistic merit. It does and whats more I would be willing to bet that it's gotten far more kids into music than any Smiths album ever did.
So I shall shout it from the rooftops .. THIS IS A FANTASTIC POP RECORD !!!!!

Urban, you got balls. I'm not joking when I say I'd rather buy an album from S Club 7 than a Morrissey solo album.
And hillariously enough, so do most people.
Anyway. Some of my picks.
Fleetwood Mac - Dreams
I liked this enough to get Rumours, and its one of my favorite albums. No joke.
ELO - Mr. Blue Sky
Shut up, you know you like it.
Todd Rundgren - I Saw the Light
If you like 70s pop, you owe it to yourself to get Something/Anything?
Joan Jett - Do You Wanna Touch
Of course I do.
And finally to keep to the old tradition of mentioning this band on every goddamn thread I find.
Yes - Leave It
Most diehard Yes fans hated 90125, but I think they're lying to themselves if they don't see it for what it was, a good pop album. Also, isn't this just the cheesiest music video ever?
But when it truly comes to pop greatness, just about anything from Off the Wall, Thriller or Bad will do.
