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)
-Fireball Ministry: The Second Great Awakening, FBMEP
-Pink Floyd: Meddle, Obscurred by Clouds, The Final Cut
-Drive-by-Truckers: Southern Rock Opera, The Dirty South
-Ween: White Pepper
-Tiger Army: Ghost Tigers Rise, Power of Moonlight
-Steely Dan: Aja
-Jane’s Addiction: Nothing’s Shocking
-Neil Young: Decade, Silver and Gold
-Guns N’ Roses: Appetite for Destruction
-Elvis: too many to mention…
-H.I.M.: Love Metal
-Grant Lee Buffalo: Fuzzy, Mighty Joe Moon
-Misfits: Legacy of Brutality
-Faith No More: Album of the Year
-Cult: Love, Electric, Sonic Temple
-David Bowie: Ziggy Stardust, Heathen
-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...

Interesting choice James. Personally, I like the first 4 and didn't really care for anything after Vol IV.

I saw Ozzy, Tony, Geezer and Bill on the Reunion Tour in '99. Definately one of the music hilights of my life.

Wow. Shit. Let's see.

All the Led Zepplin stuff.

There's been plenty of my favs already mentioned, but also,

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.

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'

Now c'mon, there's nothing worse than disco.

Actually, IMO, KISS was a technically deficient band, but what a live show they put on!

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.
