The Dillinger Escape Plan. These guys incorporate many styles within their songs.

Grave New World by Strawbs beyond any doubt.
It has Indian Raga (Is it Today Lord?), Old Tyme Dance Music (Ah Me, Ah My), Heavy Symphonic Prog (Tomorrow and New World), Psychedelia (Queen of Dreams), Acoustic Folk (the Hey Little Man duo and Heavy Disguise - the latter with a Silver Band), Religious Choral (Benedictus) and Piano & Vocals (Journey's End). I don't even know how to categorise The Flower and the Young Man, except for "absolutely magnificent".

2nd Hands by the Gourishanker from 2007 is one of the most diverse and eclectic albums I've heard in a long. long while.

Ween is one of my favorites of all time. Definately not prog but wild and weird in a totally satisfying way. I love White Pepper but love their more crazy stuff like Pure Guava and Quebec. The Mollusk is their most Beatlesque with brilliantly composed pop songs along with their warped sense of humor

Ween- "Chocolate and Cheese" I feel is sligthtly more varied then their progressive rock album" The Mollusk".

[Saving this spot for when I've heard every album ever released]
Disco Volante is a good one though. Maybe Unexpect which I still haven't gotten around to listening to. |

RDM's Contamination is very enjoyable in that regard.

This. Heavy metal, experimental, country, 1920s, folk, orchestral (off the top of my head).

I thought of another one.
Utopia- Adventures in Utopia This has everything from semi disco to new wave to prog to hard rock and back again. There's even a Queen like song(because of the vocals harmonies). Great album too.

Last Autumn's Dream by Jade Warrior - pastoral folk, metal, space, rock 'n' roll, jazz, and a few styles I don't even have words for. Every song has a different quality yet it is all undeniably Jade Warrior.
