Top 20 Greatest Rock
Albums
The greatest band of all time.
The Beatles
Well that's my top 20. I'm almost done with my top 50 album list. I'll put it up
sometime next month. other bands in my top 50 include Elton John, Creedence Clearwater
Revival, Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Santana, Crosby, Stills & Nash, Van Morrison, and many
other greats. thanks for checking out my list.
1
. The Beatles: Sgt. pepper's
lonely hearts club band.
I think the Beatles is the best rock-n-roll band of
all time. and this album is their best. there are 10 Beatle albums on my top 50 list. a
few are, Help, Abbey Road, and Let It Be. the Beatles are still special.
2.
The
Beach Boys: Pet Sounds.
One of finest records every recorded. I didn't care
for the Beach
Boys that much until the late 90's. I love "Pet Sounds" so much
I played it until I was blue in the face. it's a great LP. the best songs on this one is
"Wouldn't It Be Nice" and "God Only Knows". two GREAT songs.
3.
The
Beatles: Magical mystery tour.
My favorite Beatles song is "Strawberry
Fields". there are others, but this one is great. this album has some of
the best Beatles songs.
the Beatles is another band I really didn't like as a teen. it wasn't until the late
1980's that I started to dig them. that's an understatement!
4.
Led
Zeppelin Houses of the Holy.
I had a big change of heart this week. I had the "Doors L.A Woman" here
but I moved it to the number 23 spot. you can see my top 50 when it's done. I can admit
that this is Led Zeppelin's greatest album and it deserves this spot (on MY list). I had
it at the number 21 spot. but after listening to it for the first time in a year it blew
me away. I can't get it out of my head. it really is better than other LZ albums.
5.
Pink Floyd: The dark side of the moon.
I must have worn out a hundred stylus's
playing this album. "Money' is
my favorite. listening to this album on acid is a trip. Dark side of the moon is possibly
the best album ever recorded.
6.
Bob Dylan: Highway 61 revisited.
Bob Dylan's best album. some folks
disagree, but to each his own.
there is maybe one or two songs on this LP that I don't like. my favorite song is
"Like a rolling stone". this album is historic.
7.
Fleetwood Mac: Rumours.
Fleetwood Mac is without a doubt one of
the most popular bands of all time. and "Rumours" is their best. I love every
song on it. "Gold Dust Woman", "Go Your Own Way", and "The
Chain". Rumours is just a great album.
8.
The Rolling Stones: Exile on main street.
I Love this LP. it seams like the
Stones have been around since the dawn of man. I won't drive anywhere without my Stones
tapes. my favorite tunes are "Shake your hips", "Rip this joint",
"Rocks off", and "Tumbling dice".
9.
Led
Zeppelin: IV.
One of my favorite songs of all time is
"Stairway to heaven". it's a great song. if you haven't see Zeppelin in concert,
you're missing pure Rock-N-Roll. and this LP is pure greatness. long live
Rock-N-Roll!.
10.
U2: The
Joshua tree.
I thought I was in heaven the first
time I heard this album. I played it so much it caused trouble with my girlfriend.
she got over it, and I played it to my hearts content. U2 is a great band. this CD is a
must.
11.
Jimi Hendrix: Electric Ladyland
After I thought about It I decided to
put Electric Ladyland at #11instead of Axis. the pressure was to much. Hendrix fans were
killing me!. it's one of the first albums I had as a kid. I had the original cover with
the nude chicks on the front.
12.
The Who: Live at Leeds.
Another great live Album. there are
some great tunes on this album. like "My Generation" and "Magic Bus".
I was up in the air about putting this at the #12 spot. it was a toss up between this one,
and "The WHO". their first album. Live At Leeds won the coin toss.
13.
Deep
Purple: Made in Japan.
This is one of the best live albums
that I've ever heard. from "smoke on the water" to "Space Truckin",
Deep Purple is one ass kicking band. I think this is their best album. this and Machine
Head. I almost got to see them in concert but they didn't show and the riot was on. that
night was a bummer.
14
. Bruce
Springsteen: Darkness on the edge of town.
What can you say about the boss man.
he's great. this album is the boss mans best. I dig every song on this album. my favorites
are "Bandlands", "Candy's Room", and "The "Promised
Land". it's a killer LP!.
15.
The
Rolling Stones: "Get
yer, ya-ya's out!"
The tongue is still going strong after
30+ years. there are songs on this album that are electric! down right BAD. a couple of
songs that kicks ass are "The Midnight Rambler", and "Sympathy For The
Devil". Mick sure got his ya-ya's? out on this one.
16.
The
Beatles: The White Album.
With all of the albums the Beatles have
made, this is one of my favorites. I'm still amazed at the number of hits these guys have
made. there is no other band who has had as many hit songs as the Beatles. my favorites
are, "Dear Prudence", "Revolution 9", and "Helter
Skelter".
17.
Yes: Close to the
edge.
I've seen "YES" two times in concert. and the "Close to the
edge"
tour was the best. this album is their best. I can listen to this one all
day long. it's on my cross country list. yes! it is.
18.
Jethro
Tull: Aqualung.
Here's
another one I can't leave home without. Aqualung, my friends!
my favorites are "Mother Goose" and "Aqualung". I love listening
to Jethro Tull. I use to have every album they made. Ahh!. the good old days. cruising to
the mountains with Tull.
19.
The
Doors: The Doors.
There are a lot of good tunes on this
album. what I love about this one is the way Jim Morrison, and company shake my
speakers. BOOM BOOM, man. when one is having a party you got to have some Doors in the
wings ready to rock. and this one does...
20.
Jimi Hendrix: Band of gypsy's.
This
is one of my favorite Hendrix albums. my favorite is Axis: Bold As Love. this album was
recorded live at the Fillmore East, in New York. my favorite is "Who Knows". I'm
not sure why this song and the CD Live At The Fillmore East sound different? I don't know
if all of the songs are live or not.
