Got any favorite rock albums?
Some come to mind:
1. LZ - Song Remains the Same
2. PF - The Wall
Although I have lots of albums that I love, The Beatles - Abbey Road Side 2 is my favorite of all time. Not Rock, granted, but still my favorite.
PF Dark Side of the Moon
the older i get,the less i like about the beatles...compared to other bands...but that one side of the "abbey road" album is one of the greats in music...
"and in the end....."
Wow. This is a wide open question. I have way too many favorites to think of, even harder to list. These are all part of a regular rotation and have to be up there in my top 100 "rock" albums:
-Led Zeppelin: III and Houses of the Holy
-Quakes: Last of the Human Beings
-Beatles: White Album, Let it Be – and of course that beauty of many songs in one (Side 2 of Abbey Road)

-Neil Young: Decade, Silver and Gold
-Guns N’ Roses: Appetite for Destruction
-Elvis: too many to mention…

-Misfits: Legacy of Brutality
-Faith No More: Album of the Year
-Cult: Love, Electric, Sonic Temple

-Black Sabbath: Self Titled, Technical Ectasy
-The Clash: On Broadway, London Calling
-Rush: 2112, Moving Pictures, A Farewell to Kings
-Jethro Tull: Aqualung
-Buddy Holly: anything he put out in his short career is amazing...

How many can we name?:smiley4:
As an afternote, I have 350+ records (yes, the 12" ones), 200 cassettes and about 250 CDs
Interesting choice James. Personally, I like the first 4 and didn't really care for anything after Vol IV.Quote:

Little Feat Waiting For Columbus
The Deep Purple album that has the single Child in Time
U2 Joshua Tree, and the B sides from greatest hits 1990-2000
Amazing Rythym Aces, Too Stuffed To Jump
I like the Rolling Stones. All of it.
I've always fucking hated Kiss. Worse than disco.

The Deep Purple album that has the single Child in Time [quote]
I had that single on Deep Purple: "In Rock". Awesome song and album as is DP's Machine Head which contains another one of my song favs- Space Truckin'
i fucking hate anything by bruce springsteen or U2.....
I love ANYTHING by Rush
Crosby Stills and Nash (self titled)
Any Zepplin
Yes "Fragile"
Abbey Road
Bridge over Troubled Water
Too many others to list
Dan, I have to list Dark Side of the Moon as well. I got the album the other day and every time I listen to it I like it more.
It doesn't get any better than Les Claypool. Buckethead is pretty badass too.
Dream Theater Images and Words
Nightwish Once and Oceanborn
Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon
Rush -The entire collection-
Primus Sailing the Sea's of Cheese
Queensryche Operation Mindcrime
Now c'mon, there's nothing worse than disco. :smiley2:Quote:

Black Sabbath We Sold Our Soul For Rock & Roll, Paranoid etc.
AC/DC Live or any other AC/DC
Aerosmith Toys In The Attic
Led Zeppelin "IV" and many more
Queen Jazz
I saw Kiss and Aerosmith at the same show a couple of years ago. I have to admit Aerosmith's set was lame compared to Kiss. I've seen a lot of live music so I consider myself a fairly credible judge.
Zeppelin(II & IV), Steve Miller Band, the Eagles, Allman Brothers, Stockholm Syndrome, Little Women with Jerry Joseph, Moe(that is probably not rock). All the other bands coming to mind are reggae jam bands or just not rock. Hmm...
Rage Against The Machine- Any
White Stripes- Elephant
Allman Brothers- Eat a Peach
Queens of the Stone Age- Songs For The Deaf
Bruce Springsteen- Nebraska
Jane's Addiction- Ritual de lo Habitual
Guns and Roses- Appetite for Destruction
Red Hot Chili Peppers- Blood Sugar Sex Magic
Metallica- Ride The Lightning
Weezer- Blue Album, Green Album
Nirvana- In Utero
Tom Petty- Southern Accents
The Ramones- Mania
U2- Rattle and Hum, Achtung Baby
Suicidal Tendencies- How Will I Laugh Tomorrow...
Neil Young and Crazy Horse- Ragged Glory
Man, I could go on for days
If you like Queens of the Stone Age you should check out Kyuss, which is the original incarnation of the band, and IMO, much better.

I think the Eagles of Death Metal has a lot of the same people as well. Haven't heard of Homme's. Another good one I just thought of in that category is Fu Manchu/Nebula.Quote:

I know what ya mean on the Springsteen and U2 Sid - I think radio kills them. But, very few can turn a lyric like Bono.
Here's a rock album for ya: J Geils Band, Blow Your Face Out. I wore one of these out.
Others: BTO, Not Fragile
Allman Brothers Eat A Peach
Genesis A Trick of the Tail, Selling England by the Pound
Rush 2112, A Farewell to Kings, Hemispheres
Supertramp Even in the Quietest Moments, Crime of the Century
Yes Close to the Edge, Fragile
King Crimson In the Court of the Crimson King
The Who Who's Next, Who by Numbers, Quadrophenia
Steely Dan The Royal Scam, Can't Buy a Thrill, Aja
Police Ghost in the Machine, Synchronicity
Talking Heads Fear of Music, Little Creatures, Stop Making Sense
REM Murmur, Out of Time
Brian Eno Another Green World, Before and After Science
Beatles Sgt. Pepper, Abbey Road, Magical Mystery Tour
I have "The Cars" set up as its own playlist on my iPod. I can listen to that album straight thru anytime.
10 or 12 years ago NIN was my hands down favorite with Pretty Hate Machine blasting through the speakers

Sorry to chime in again on this thread. Well, not really...
...I love Mother Love Bone. A band (without drugs and death) that would have made it big time. These guys were the real deal in terms of "feel good" metal in it's purest sense. Even though surviving members went onto bigger and better things during the early -to- mid 90's grunge thing; one cannot overlook the influence of Mother Love Bone and Green River on music as a whole. Hanoi Rocks fits in this same category even though they lack the substance of MLB.
Basil, you continue to surprise me.

I tend to remember songs, not albums. Anyway, now that I have a new PC at home, and am getting an MP3 player, I can finally start filling it up with music that I have downloaded and y'all have given me a lot of things to check out once I start gong to Itunes.
CNB-
You might want to check out Napster as well. You can register a free account and listen to any music in their catalog up to 5 times for free. I like checking out some of the new groups I hear on the radio before I decide whether I'm going to plunk down cash based on one single.
Spinal Tap: Smell the Glove-- classic!

Check out Limewire as well. It is similar to napster of the old days, where you just download songs instead of paying money.
