WHAT in YOUR opinion are the BEST ROCK albums of all time?

I guess I'll leave it up to you to do a top 5, top 10, or just a 1-list.

I'm curious to know what you think is/are the best?

Absolutely. Future Days is actually #6 on my list of all time favourite albums and Tago Mago is #37. I left Future Days off my list because I figured I'd just post more traditionally rock-sounding records.

JoeTyler

if we "ignore" the rock&roll albums and the proto-rock albums of the early-60s, this would be my top10 (chronological order)

0.Bob Dylan- Highway 61 Revisited

1.Hendrix Experience- Are You Experienced

2.Rolling Stones - Let It Bleed

3.Led Zeppelin II

4.Led Zeppelin IV

5.Rolling Stones - Exile on Main Street

6.David Bowie- Ziggy Stardust

7.Aerosmith-Rocks

8.Kiss-Alive

9.Guns N' Roses - Appetite for Destruction

10.U2-Joshua Tree

12.Pixies - Doolitle

12.Nirvana - Nevermind

13.Blur-Parklife

14.Oasis-What's the Story (Morning Glory)

15.Strokes-Is This It

but the list could be a top30 easily: Abbey Road, Electric Ladyland, Blonde on Blonde, Toys in the Attic, Sticky Fingers, Raw Power, Fun House, Back in Black, Surfer Rosa, Ten, etc.

I don't know about "best"... but I have my favs...

1) The Beatles- Revolver

2) Jimi Hendrix- Band Of Gypsys

3) Genesis- The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway

4) Living Colour- Vivid

5) Kansas- Leftoverture

6) Rush- Power Windows

7) Yes- Close To The Edge

8) King's X- Dogman

9) The Police- Ghost In The Machine

10) Peter Gabriel- SO

If we're including METAL oriented things, I'd have to add...

Obviously, when it comes to Rock/Metal, most of my tastes lean towards the "Prog" stuff.
