5 albums for a rock newbie

Jimi Hendrix - The Ultimate Experience
Alice in Chains - Dirt
Black Sabbath - Paranoid
Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon
Nirvana - Nevermind

Yes, all commercially successful, but also reminiscent of other times when the mainstream wasn't so overcome with tunnel-vision for mindless dreck.

Great Choices!!!

But I would have switched Alice in chains with something by The Clash, Sex Pistols or even The Ramones
