Rock Album Survivor

You're missing powerviolence...

1. Nails - Unsilent Death
2. The Endless Blockade - Primitive
3. Man Is the Bastard - Thoughtless
4. Yacopsae - Tanz, Grozny, Tanz
5. Charles Bronson - Youth Attack!
6. Spazz - La Revancha
7. Gasp - Drome Triler of Puzzle Zoo People
8. Infest - Slave
9. Full of Hell and Merzbow - Full of Hell and Merzbow
10. Iron Lung - Sexless // No Sex

Just my two cents. I'm sure others would have some better ideas.

And what about a pop rock list?

1. Fleetwood Mac - Rumours
2. Beatles - Abbey Road or White Album
3. The Kinks - The Kinks Are the Village Green Preservation Society
4. Elton John - Goodbye Yellow Brick Road
5. Paul and Linda McCartney - Ram
6. U2 - The Joshua Tree (why isn't this on yet?)
7. Peter Gabriel - So
8. Supertramp - Breakfast in America or Crime of the Century
9. XTC - Skylarking
10. Electric Light Orchestra - Out of the Blue

We could also do one for power pop. Heartland rock also.

@Hard Rock replacement That could work. Any suggestions, guys?

And I'll just put up the Pop Rock list, looks good to me.

I decided to veto the Supertramp thing, and go with Leftoverture. I just think Kansas is way more important to the genre than Supertramp.

And lastly, I made a Powerviolence list using Batty's suggestions.

Here are a few suggestions for hard rock and ANATO's replacement.

Overkill by Motorhead, Jailbreak by Lizzy, Van Halen, Pronounced Lynyrd Skynyrd, Taken by Force by Scorpions, Destroyer by Kiss.

JGuy Grungeman · 01-13-2016, 06:45 PM

Let's go with Kiss.

TechnicLePanther · 01-13-2016, 07:23 PM

Stuck Rock Opera on there, with A Night at the Opera included. Replaced it with Kiss' Destroyer on Hard Rock. I also consolidated Joe's Garage into one long album, as that's pretty much what it is. Unless there's extreme retaliation, it's fine with me.

JGuy Grungeman · 01-13-2016, 07:34 PM

Thanks. Well, I'll see if I can think of anything that could be included. So far, I think Power pop and heavy psych could get on.

The Batlord · 01-13-2016, 07:35 PM

I'd also like to question why The Who's Quadrophenia is in place of Tommy, quite possibly THE rock opera?

JGuy Grungeman · 01-13-2016, 07:37 PM

Because Tommy was taken and the general consensus across the internet (except Rolling Stone, but I've mentioned their insanity) and its users is that Quadrophenia is better. I personally agree. Tommy's great, but Quadrophenia is astounding. Besides, just because something's the first rock opera, that doesn't mean it's the best.

EDIT:
Power Pop, heavy psych, pop punk, and riot grrrl deserve spots. I can write up a few suggestions for a riot grrrl one. I went through a bit of that during my fourth grunge phase.

1. L7 - Bricks Are Heavy
2. Sleater-Kinney - Call the Doctor
3. 7 Year Bitch - Viva Zapata
4. Babes in Toyland - Fontanelle
5. Bikini Kill - Pussy Whipped
6. Bratmobile - Ladies, Women and Girls
7. Le Tigre - Le Tigre
8. Lunachicks - Babysitters on Acid
9. Huggy Bear - Weaponry Listens to Love
10. Katastrophe Wife - All Kneel

Okays.

But is the King Crimson entry correct? I realize In the Court of the Crimson King is the most recognized album, but who's with me that either Larks' Tongue in Aspic or Red deserves the spot?

JGuy Grungeman · 01-13-2016, 08:07 PM

Are either of those symphonic prog? Because I thought symphonic prog could possibly have a separate list. I decided against it since a lot of symphonic prog is already in the prog list and I don't think Technic's up to reordering half of that. We did just get done with prog.

I could never get into KC, but I don't think any album of theirs deserves more than Court, since I do believe it's the best. I can also write a symphonic prog list.

1. Yes - Close to the Edge (replaced with Fragile on the prog list since Close to the Edge steers more toward symphonic)
2. Camel - Mirage
3. Moody Blues Days of Future Passed
4. Kansas - Point of Know Return (Leftoverture is barely symphonic, Point is very symphonic.)
5. King Crimson - Lizard
6. Änglagård - Hybris
7. Steve Hackett - Voyage of the Acolyte
8. Emerson, Lake & Palmer - Emerson, Lake & Palmer
9. Electric Light Orchestra - Eldorado
10. Transatlantic - Bridge Across Forever
