Best ROCK Albums?

The Dark Wolf · 11-08-2006, 07:21 AM

So, what do you guys think are the best rock albums of all time?

I guess for simplicity's sake, try to keep the list sorta condensed. I would like to see what people feel are really the good ones. Not metal. Rock.

I'll shoot first.

1. Guns N' Roses - 'Appetite for Destruction'

2. Def Leppard - 'Pyromania'

3. AC/DC - 'Back In Black'

These are my 3 favorite rock albums. I can listen to them over and over, and I don't think there's a bad song on any of them. To be a favorite, or considered 'the best', it should basically be flawless, right?

Anyone else?

Meat Loaf - Bat Out of Hell 2. Quite simply one of my favourite albums ever and a big influence on my desire to play guitar. It features some of Jim Steinman's finest work and IMO one of the heaviest non-metal songs ever: Life is a Lemon. I crank that song on the stereo and I get goosebumps and feel the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. How many songs affect you like that?

Edit: Dammit, I now want to listen to that cd and it's 5 hours until I get home from work. Arrrgh

The Wildhearts - "P.H.U.Q."

That album is total kickass, in my opinion.

+10 on Apetite for Destruction

One of my favourite is Baris Akarsu with Dusmeden Bulutlara Kosmam Gerek (it's turkish and it means I have to run to the clouds before i fall), very nice album

SevenatoR · 11-08-2006, 10:07 AM

+1 - Apetite

+1 - Back in Black

+1 - Pyromania

I also dug High N' Dry. Good songs, little more raw than Pyromania.

Van Halen - Van Halen & Fair Warning

Slave to the Grind

Twisted Sister - Stay Hungry

Vince · 11-08-2006, 10:22 AM

Deep Purple - Machine Head
Rush - 2112
Rush - Counterparts
Dream Theater - Falling into Infinity (I wouldn't call that a metal album)
Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin 4
Fates Warning - Inside Out

2112 just dominates everything put out around that time. If they ever did a reissue/remaster of that using modern recording techniques... Oh man.

Edit: I have it on Vinyl.
