Got any favorite rock albums?

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.

**CgarDan** · 07-25-2006, 04:21 PM

PF Dark Side of the Moon

-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

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.

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.

**WhiteWidow** · 07-25-2006, 10:56 PM

It doesn't get any better than Les Claypool. Buckethead is pretty badass too.

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

**WhiteWidow** · 07-26-2006, 12:48 AM

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.

**Cabaiguan Juan** · 07-26-2006, 06:23 AM

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...
