Disallowing any cheats like greatest hits or soundtracks - gonna have to go with GNR - Appetite. Though I realize a lot of folks hate Axl so I will accept Back in Black as well. If you open the net to include grunge then I think Pearl Jam Ten is well up there.

Those three albums really stick out in my head as collectively good full albums... on a very short list of ones that I will happily listen to all the way through or mixed up in any fashion. I can think of albums with a few songs I like better... but entire albums? My top 3 for sure.

Guns and Roses, Appetite for Destruction best album, and Welcome to the Jungle as best Rock song eva!!!

Posted: 4/25/2017 12:01:51 PM EDT

Meatloaf is entertaining but not the best.

Dark Side of the Moon is probably the best Album.

Followed by Reign in Blood

Going to add Queensrÿche-Operation Mindcrime to the list of great albums.
Geoff Tate is an outstanding vocalist IMO.

True but Meat loaf had some mega talent who helped out with Bat out of Hell.
Personally I think the alblum is entertaining as hell, yes a bit over the top and over dramatic but I still like it.

Any response that does not include Led Zeppelin II and Dark Side of the Moon is an incorrect response.

Arguments could also be made for No Quarter.
Also, 2112.

Wow that is subjective and for me it changes with my mood of what I want to hear. I'm going to try to think of some that aren't listed already.

Joe Walsh - The Smoker You Drink The Player You Get (listen to it with headphones, light a candle and you'll see your entire future.

)
Traffic - John Barleycorn Must Die
David Bowie - Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars
The Doors - the Doors
Rod Stewart - Every Picture Tells A Story
Led Zep - IV (Zoso or Runes... pick a name)

The list is loooong.

Well, does Steely Dan qualify as rock? I suppose they are sort of a jazz-pop-rock fusion. In my estimation the greatest album fitting this description is Steely Dan's "Aja."

Led Zeppelin IV also ranks extremely high.

Posted: 4/25/2017 7:52:20 PM EDT

[#39]

Yeah; I'm gonna have to go with Hanson's acoustic album, or maybe something from Tom Waits samba/jazz period.

Right after Meat Loaf's Bat out of Hell, of course.

No doubt about it. Whether you like AC/DC or not, you can't deny that's probably one of the best albums ever. Can't think of a bar that doesn't have it on their jukebox, and there is essentially no "B" side on it.

That is a great album of the Bros in their prime. If you have Amazon prime, check out the extended version. They recorded 4 concerts in total. A few songs were performed at all of the concerts but there were some one-offs.
