1-Beatles: White Album
2-Allman Brothers: Live at Fillmore East
3-Led Zeppelin: IV
4-The Who: Who's Next
5-Rolling Stones: Exile on Main Street
Solid list of classic rock.
1. Black Sabbath - Sabotage
2. Deep Purple - In Rock
3. Pink Floyd - Animals
4. Kate Bush - The Dreaming
5. Yes - Close To The Edge
Nice list!
2 of my favourite albums are Yes, Drama and Raindow, Rising.
Interestingly if you take the keyboard play from Yes (who played on Drama in 1980, and is still in Yes today)...
And the bass player from Rainbow, Rising (Dio's bass player)...
You end up with Kate Bush, The Dreaming.
Haha they both played on that album.
The criminally underrated "Animals" album as well as "Sabotage".... The latter I favor over "Master of Reality or "Volume 4" nowadays. The Sabs had a bunch of great albums... Only true fans are lucky enough to know of their greatness beyond a few of them
Solid list In Rock is my #1 and every other album on your list narrowly missed my cut. An all time top 5 is so hard, it's like asking me to choose a favorite child
A great episode. I would like to play along...
1. Beatles - Abbey Road
2. Jethro Tull - Songs From The Wood
3. Yes - Fragile
4. Rush - 2112
5. Queen - A Night At The Opera
Thumbs up for #2!
Nice choices.
That is a W list. No cheesy Pink Floyd albums, No obscure albums which no one has ever heard, and No generic AC/DC hard rock style albums.
1. Genesis - The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway
2. Can - Tago Mago
3. Captain Beefheart - Trout Mask Replica
4. The Beatles - Revolver
5. King Crimson - Larks' Tongues in Aspic
Lark's Tongue a musical achievement. Great list.
TLLDOB one of the 20th century's best musical achievements.
"Larks In Aspen's Tongue".. my awesome introduction to King Crimson. "Revolver' used to be a favorite.. but Rubber Soul overtook it when the real version or the UK version came out in the US with "Nowhere Man". (Yet 'And Your Bird Can Sing" fulfills the mighty "Revolver" in the same way in america.. used to be on the "Yesterday And Today"album)
5. Deep Purple - Perfect Strangers
4. Blue Oyster Cult - Secret Treaties
3. Queensryche - Operation Mindcrime
2. Black Sabbath - Heaven and Hell
1. Thin Lizzy - Chinatown
Your 3,4, and 5 are up there for me too! Nice picks!
Love that you have Perfect Str. on your list DB -- all other DeepP albums get mentioned but that is right up there with the more familiars. BOC on my list as well.
Hi Duncan. Exceptional, uncommon, and great pick with Chinatown. Let me know if you want to listen to the 2nd CD of the Deluxe edition with rare, alternate, and live tracks from the Chinatown sessions. Very cool material.
15 tracks as follows:
- Don't Play Around
- We Will Be Strong [ U.S. Edited
Version ]
- Sugar Blues [ Live ]
- Whiskey In The Jar [ Live ]
- Are You Ready [ Live ]
- Chinatown [ Live ]
- Got To Give It Up [ Live ]
- Dear Miss Lonely Hearts[ Live ]
- Killer On The Loose [ Live ]
- Chinatown [ Edited Version ]
- Chinatown [ Sound check ]
Don't Play Around-Soundcheck
- Sweetheart [ Sound check ]
- Didn't I [ Sound check ]
- Hey You [ Sound check ]
The 2 CD Deluxe Expanded Edition of Heaven And Hell which you probably already have comes highly recommended as well.
Cheers from California by way of Minnesota.
1. UFO - Strangers in the night
2. Black Sabbath - Mob Rules

1. Paranoid
2. Led Zeppelin 2
3. Master of Reality
4. Machine head
5. Mob Rules
This is my current list, it could completely change at any time.
1. Thin Lizzy- Black Rose
2. Deep Purple- Burn
3. Rush- Permanent Waves
4.Racer X- Street Lethal (if you call yourself a metal fan and haven’t heard this album, you’re doing yourself a massive disfavor.)
5. Soundgarden- Superunkown
Wow someone else actually likes racer x.mega band good choice
@@davehodson6288 Paul Gilbert is one of my all time favorites. Everyone in the band is excellent though. Don’t get me wrong, I love well thought out solos and complex music arrangements, but sometimes I just wanna hear face melting guitar shredding. That album grabs you by the throat and beat the hell outta you for 35 mins straight. Second Heat is equally as face melting.
I was going to mention second heat and the two live albums that followed all excellent. By the way I actually met Jeff Martin back here in the UK when he drummed for badlands.had a a brief chat about racer x with him
@@davehodson6288 That’s awesome! Jeff was an excellent singer, but he was no slouch on the kit either! Yeah, those two live albums are also excellent. I’ve actually heard that Bruce and Jeff aren’t on speaking terms, so it’s not really a big chance of happening, but I’m hoping that they’ll do at least ONE more reunion album and tour. I’ve never had the chance to see them live and would love to.
@@BlueDragonBot
Would have loved to have seen them to.never came to the UK I don't think.just keep playing those excellent albums

1 Physical Graffiti Led Zeppelin
2 Straight Shooter. Bad Company
3 Rising. Rainbow
4 In Rock Deep Purple
5 S/T. Montrose.
I agree with all of you that this is an impossible (and quite ridiculous) task, so I'm taking the path that many of you have chosen and picking the albums that made the biggest impact on my journey to being a complete music junky.
5. The Tragically Hip - Up To Here
4. Judas Priest - Screaming For Vengeance
3. Black Sabbath - Heaven & Hell
2. Iron Maiden - Piece Of Mind
1. Rush - Moving Pictures
Well, that Tragically Hip album was my most unknown band from my hometown of Hillsdale. It's such a great album, but I only purchased it based on our small town store of Checker Records... I can't believe after all these years that THAT store is still operational and run by the same person.... So, ya, here's to The Tragically Hip! It's the only album of theirs that I've heard, but when I had it on cassette back in the day, they were the most unusual and good tape I could offer. Nobody cared, but nobody said anything after that opening track.
1. Electric Light Orchestra - Out of the Blue

Chris Alo is a funny guy (funny how?)
I’ve tried to compile a list but I get angry and feel disloyal at the ones I’d have to leave out.
Ranging across many genres,Steely Dan,Floyd,Sabbath,Zeppelin,The Stones,The Clash,Thin Lizzy,The Who,Purple,ELO,Motown and Stax,reggae,punk,prog,folk and jazz funk,all of whom have at least one stellar album.
An impossible task for me but a seemingly easy one for you guys.
Very entertaining and informative,I’ll dig some of these out for sure.
Greetings from England (Cornwall)
1 Rush - Moving Pictures
2 Voivod - Dimension Hatross
3 Soundgarden - Louder than Love
4 Jethro Tull - Songs from the Wood
5 Butch - Giving Others Airtime (A true rarity!)
My top 5 as of today…
1. *Donald Fagen* - ‘The Nightfly’
2. *Richard and Linda Thompson* - ‘Shoot Out the Lights’
3. *Joni Mitchell* - ‘Hejira’
4. *Led Zeppelin* - ‘Physical Graffiti’
5. *Supertramp* - ‘Breakfast in America’
Shoot Out the Lights is fantastic. Truly a very dark album
Love "Hejira"
Jaco!
Great and original list. Didn’t think I would see a Thompson album listed here, as this channel leans hard rock/metal. I love Richard Thompson , one of the great unheralded guitarists
@@painless465 I love this channel, like a lot of hard rock but not much metal (apart from NWOBHM). I tend to just ignore the genres and list the things I like best. RT is my favourite musician of all time.
Did we just become best friends?! Fagen! Joni! Zep! Supertramp!
5. Imaginos - Blue Oyster Cult/Sandy Pearlman
4. Exile on Main St.- Rolling stones
3. Close to the Edge- Yes
2. The Wall - Pink Floyd
1. Shinola Vol. 1- Ween
I'll have to give that BOC another listen. And a real out of the box pick from Ween. I'm more partial to The Molluskand Quebec. But Shinola a great hodgepodge of tracks.
@@toddhill7483 Its more an emotional connection I have with Shinola.
I did not want to think too much about this one, because as y'all said, this is almost impossible. Especially, as I have been listening to so many albums over the past 2 years, thanks to you. Here is what came to mind instantly. Only one has been the same forever (No. 1). The others are all new. And next year it may well be all different again.
1) Wishbone Ash, - Argus
2) Glass Hammer - The Middle-Earth Album
3) Rush - Moving Pictures (closely tied with Permanent Waves, but this year Moving Pictures got the edge)
4) Magnum - Kingdom of Madness
5) Yes - Going for the One
Sorry, not a lot of metal in this list, 🙂.
5.ANGEL-On Earth As It Is In Heaven- I choose this as it was the transition album. It was also my first as I had trouble finding their stuff. This was a white plastic 8 track that NEVER came out of the deck. I LOVE BOTH eras of the band but this was my first!
4.DEEP PURPLE- In Rock- Used copy Summer of 84 in Boston BLOWN AWAY. Played it non stop all Summer. I have a hard time listening to "Child In Time" now but only because I listened to it SOOOO much. Then they REFORMED!! It was meant to be! (I could easily throw in Heeps Demons and Wizards here)
3.STARZ-Violation-While you can say the first is the best, I thought they grew tremendously on this one. It has depth, it has riffs, it has SWAG, its light, its dark and its a Masterpiece. George Orwell, Mind Control, emotional pop. Perfection.
2.AEROSMITH-Rocks-What can you say? Its absolute perfection. The amount of quality songs, the SYNERGY of the band at its peak. "Lick and a Promise', "Sick As A Dog" They were a gang of thieves that became KINGS and collected all the ROCKS found on the cover. The album is so special I cant capture the Mystic quality in words.
1.UFO-Strangers In The night. Listened to the first side and then wrote out the lyrics to every song listening to it over and over. Yes Schenker blew me away! However, it was the lyrics found in songs like "Out In The Street" and "Im A Loser" that hooked me! Emotional, sincere, introspective, and very humanistic and poetic.
5. Iced Earth- Night Of The Stormrider
4. Accept - Restless And Wild
3. Ozzy Osbourne- Bark At The Moon
2. Judas Priest - Sad Wings Of Destiny
1. Iron Maiden - Killers
Honorable mentions
Helloween- Keeper Of The Seven Keys Part1
Queensryche- Operation Mindcrime
Riot- Thundersteel
Megadeth- Peace Sells But Who's Buying
Metallica- Ride The Lightning
I remember back in 1976 when the "Rainbow Rising" album came out how the local record shop had the artwork covering the whole of the front window. Of course I bought it being a Deep Purple and Ritchie Blackmore fan. Bloody hard to think of it being 46 years ago now.
What are some of your favorite Ritchie Blackmore albums that dont have Ian Gillan or Dio(that's all I have)??
@@integrity101 "Burn" and "Stormbringer" from Deep Purple Mark 3. The "Slaves and Masters" album (with Joe Lynn Turner on vocals) is also quite good musically. And the first three Deep Purple albums with Rod Evans (on vocals) I really like. The album "Burn" is still the best one he's been involved with (IMHO). And "Burn" is my number one pick for Deep Purple. I prefer David Coverdale and Glenn Hughes over Ian Gillan.
@@NorsePJ Considering you can't spell Gillan's name correctly...
@@ronan82 Sorry mein fuhrer! I corrected the auto spell check. Happy now or will you cry a bit more?
@@NorsePJ I am, being a spelling nazi is important. Lest we all lose the plot even further.

5. American Beauty - Grateful Dead
4. Physical Graffiti - Led Zeppelin
