I think once you go below "masterpiece that cannot be denied by anyone if you like any type of music" everything else is subjective to taste or submission to what is considered "trendy" and commercially viable music today or within the last 20-30 years. Also you have to define "album" as something to be listened to straight through, as opposed to something like "Thriller" which may or may not be cherry picked tunes.
I think there's only one of these types of albums every 20 years, give or take, since WWII. I considered all genres, took into account quality, commercial success, impact on the music world, the appeal among different groups of people, the context of the era it was created in, and it's continued appeal long after its original release date. I narrowed it down to these 4 albums.
Miles Davis - Kind of Blue (1959)
Pink Floyd - The Dark Side of the Moon (1973)
Metallica - The Black Album (1991)
Daft Punk - Random Access Memories (2013)
Sad to say, the Daft Punk pick was the easiest one to decide on because the bar is so low these days in regards to what is both popular AND good music most people can dig. Lots of people don't like Green Day, Radiohead, Eminem (or any hip-hop), Springsteen, Billy Joel, and pop artists are throwaway if we're talking decades and decades here. Kids don't like/know/care about Madonna and Mariah Carey already, and Britney is hanging on by a thread.
