Jane's Addiction "Nothing Shocking"

[QUOTE=The Toyroom;92347]I'm partial to "Led Zeppelin IV (ZOSO)".QUOTE]

That was actually my first thought.

Pink Floyd's - Dark Side of the Moon which was on Billboard's Hot 100 Albums Chart for like 100 years or so (ok maybe not quite that long but it was a very long time.)


GnR? REALLY? I guess if you like the sound of stray cats being tortured which is the equivalent of Axyl's voice....

I can't just pick one; I'd have a hard time picking ten. For me, it's got to be an album that I can listen to straight through, and not really want to skip any songs. Don't get me wrong, I think GnR was brilliant, but there are some of their songs that I HATE. Some that do fit that criteria for me are:

Boston's debut
Van Halen's debut
Black Sabbath's debut
Ozzy - Blizzard of Oz
Led Zep I and IV
The Who - Who's Next
Deep Purple - Machine Head
Judas Priest - Screaming for Vengeance
Metallica - The Black Album
****edited to add the obvious - Dark Side of the Moon

If you consider some of the "softer" stuff to be rock, then I'd add some Beach Boys, Beatles, Clash, and the Jane's Addiction already mentioned.

Beatles Sgt Peppers

U2 War

The Who Quadrophinia

Aerosmith- Permanent Vacation

Kiss Destroyer


All great albums in my assessment.

[DocDrako]

For me it's Pink Floyd's "The Wall". I can listen to the entire album again and again. Or KISS "Destroyer", or Alice Cooper's "Billion Dollar Babies".

[txteach]

Man I almost forgot The Beach Boys-Pet Sounds. GREAT Album!

[Hector]

Queen's A Night at the Opera.

I bet some of you are really shocked I listed this one.

[ctc]

Hmmmm....

"Broadsword and the Beast": Jethro Tull

Don C.

[Johnny]

From many of these answers I am getting the impression many people are putting more their "favorite" rock albums rather than "best" rock albums of all time.

Of all time, it is next to impossible to list just one. So here are my top five.

1. Sgt. Pepper:Beatles
2. Blonde On Blonde:Dylan
3. Exile On Main Street:Stones
4. Physical Graffiti:Zeppelin
5. Are You Experienced:Hendrix

When it comes to an album I can listen to straight through and never tire of it has to be AC/DC Back In BLACK. Followed closely by KISS Destroyer!!!!!

[andawaymego]

White Whale "wwi"

Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds
Genesis - Selling England by the Pound
