cmdridq Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 Most of my favorites have already been mentioned, but I would add "Rebel Yell" by Billy Idol to the list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
st. patrick Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 What???????????? has everyone forgotten about Tiny Tim?? I think he even made it to the Ed Sullivan show. And before TT, weren't they rockin' out with Lawrence Welk?? And what about that group that had their own TV show and sang M-I-C-K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E . . . . . . . ..

TommyC Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 I am gonna give away both my age and my strange music tastes here, but here are my three: 1: Roxy Music - Roxy Music 2: Procol Harum - A Salty Dog 3: Yes - The Yes Album Fire away! Dr. Who... Was it Roxy Music: Live At The Apollo? Excellent DVD either way! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justonemore Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 I like "I'm Gonna Crawl". I'ts a Great Tune. Never cared much for "Hot Dog" and I think I heard "All of my Love" too much on the radio. Physical Graffiti is my favorite Zep album followed by Zep lll and Zep I.

ironwoods Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 Led Zeppelin> Physical Graffiti Montrose> Montrose Rush> 2112 1st runner up - The Who> Quadrophenia Honorable mention - Blue Oyster Cult > Secret Treaties & Agents of Fortune I'm Gonna Crawl needs to be played loud and in the presence of a woman( for those that don't know) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toddvj Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 Sorry guys, but Zeppelin II ist the best Led Zep album. I also Love In Through the Out Door. I'm not submitting my top three, but I think for the *ahem* younger guys, we have to add G N' R's Appetite for Destruction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrWho Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 Dr. Who... Was it Roxy Music: Live At The Apollo? Excellent DVD either way! I think so....that was the reunion tour right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kev313 Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 way more than 3 but here are my additions Van Halen-Van Halen 1 Metallica-Black Album AC/DC-Back in Black I think Black was the beginning of the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrWho Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 Speaking of Black....well Jack Black anyway. I just simply love the stuff put out by Tenacious D. I'm sure everyone has heard Tribute before [] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audio Flynn Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 I have been playing Allman Brothers "Fillmore East" for several times a month lately. Have not seen that one mentioned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coytee Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 Wouldn't Moody Blues, "Days of Future Passed" be worthy of naming? Although not necessarily my first pick (burnt out on a number of the tracks), I belive it was a fairly well reviewed release. I guess it depends on how we're defining "best"?

nicholtl Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 After thinking LONG and HARD, the closest shortlist of 3 I could come up with was a list of 6. And here they are, in no particular order... 1) Guns n' Roses - Use Your Illusion I 2) Metallica - Metallica 3) Depeche Mode - Songs of Faith and Devotion 4) Muse - Absolution 5) Radiohead - Ok Computer 6) Pearl Jam - Ten Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colterphoto1 Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 I'm using this criteria, as stated in the opening post 'entire CD being killer', meaning all hits, no trash. Not a single 'filler' song not worthy of note. Plus the 'All-time greatest Rock' title means that the work should have or be able to stand the test of time. Thats a toughie also. And keep it to three. Nicholtl, I really like your first three, and Ray had some winners there, Rumours, GNR , Nevermind, all were among the best of each artist, classics of their era, and not a loser song in the bunch. Looks like Phys Graf is getting a lot of votes. Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colterphoto1 Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 checked a couple lists on Google, We all missed The Doors, The Doors (first album) definitely a winner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicholtl Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 What's actually funny is that we're asked to list our "all-time best rock CD's," and yet most of what we're listing originally debuted as LP's or cassettes. Meaning it's oooold skoo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelA Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 I will agree with the large majority of albums already listed. Here are four in no particular order that I would add to the list: 1. Def Leppard- Hysteria 2. Live- Throwing Copper 3. Metallica- Master of Puppets 4. Drain STH- Freaks of Nature Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audible Nectar Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 You're old school when you still refer to a new CD release as a new "album"........and of course you are old school when you listen to those through 30 year old gear[]. Wouldn't have it any other way...... Any discussion of "best Rock release ever" will be something old school, because the genre really peaked in the '60's and '70's. There aren't ANY modern artists putting out the volume and quality of material that the Beatles, Stones, The Who, Led Zeppelin, and other bands of the day were. Sure, there are select choices that are newer, but the majority of the recommendations will be "Old School". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikekid Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 Pink Floyd has already been mentioned of course.[] I didn't see Bad Company~ "Bad Company" though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jt1stcav Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 Queen: A Night At The Opera Pink Floyd: The Wall Rolling Stones: Sticky Fingers There are so many others that three just isn't fitting a number for favorite rock albums of all time.

sputnik Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 Just three is hard. A Beatles album like Revolver or Rubber Soul or Sargent Pepper should be included but I'll go with: Pink Floyd - DSOTM Grateful Dead - American Beauty (or Europe '72 or .....) The Who - Tommy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
