The 10 Most Essential Rock Albums?
 

What do you guys think they are?

A somewhat open term Rock don't you think?

Well, I was hoping for some varied lists. A little bit of a prog, a little indie, some classic, you know?

I'll say it

Led Zeppelin IV the best :)

Cool. *looks up album list*

10.Wipers-Youth Of America
9.The Smashing Pumpkins-Siamese Dream
8.David Bowie-Heroes
7.The Who-Live At Leeds
6.Patti Smith-Horses
5.Boredoms-Vision Creation Newsun
4.Television-Marquee Moon
3.The Beatles-The White Album
2.Faust-Faust IV
1.The Clash-London Calling

Nice list, I'm going to try to compliment that with some stuff from the other end of the spectrum. Wish it was a top 25. I'll probably do that anyway.

Not in any particular order

• Tool - Lateralus
• Tomahawk - Tomahawk
• Beck - Guero
• Boud Deun - Astronomy Made Easy
• Buckethead - Shadows Between the Sky
• Colonel Claypool's Bucket of Bernie Brains - The Big Eyeball in the Sky
• Dream Machine - The Castle of a Thousand Universes
• Stone Oak Cosmonaut - Out of Orbit
• Van der Graaf Generator - H to He, Who Am the Only One
• Rush - Test For Echo

It's painful to choose ten. That's why I'll sneak another ten in down the line.

In order of ranking:-

1. The Ramones - The Ramones
2. The Beatles - Revolver
3. The Pretty Things - S.F. Sorrow
4. Jimi Hendrix Experience - Axis : Bold as Love
5. My Bloody Valentine - Loveless
6. The Beach Boys - Pet Sounds
7. Led Zeppellin IV
8. Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath
9. The Clash - Sandinista!
10. Dylan - Blonde on Blonde

Not heard any of these, although I am not a big Rush fan.

If we ever go on a long road trip together, you can choose the tunes.
