    Bob Dylan - Blonde on Blonde (1966)

    I am a seasoned Dylan fan, so this is not my personal favorite album, but I will say that I have objectively deemed it Dylan's "best" album. It was his third (and last) in a string of mid 60s albums that were each mind-blowingly good on some level and collectively changed the musical landscape...

    The Kinks - The Village Green Preservation Society (1968)

    This one is a recent discovery for me. A concept album of sorts that celebrates traditional British culture, it was more of a cult favorite than a hit. The upside to that is that it hasn't really been forgotten over time (most people have never heard of it, but those who have will not let it...

    Best Run of Three or More Consecutive Albums

    The title pretty much explains it, but what do you think is the greatest run of three or more consecutive albums (studio and I suppose certain live albums, but no compilations) by a single artist? Each album in the string should be a bona fide stand-alone classic, rather than just a good album...

    The Clash vs. The Ramones

    Note: this is about the bands, i.e. their entire bodies of work, not their self-titled albums. A post I made on another topic got me thinking about this, the ultimate heavyweight bout of punk rock: In one corner, you have The Clash, the most accomplished band from the English punk...

    Rocket Man vs. Space Oddity

    Which is the best song about an astronaut? The fact that Space Oddity came first and, thus, Rocket Man seems like kind of a rip off is the tipping point for me. Both are classics though.

    New bands that classic rock fans would like...

    I hope this doesn't come across the wrong way, but are there any? I try to keep an open mind, so I've heard most of them, and they all leave me with a lackluster feeling. The Black Crowes appear to be the last band who really "got it" and made real rock and roll. And Tom Petty isn't getting...

    Astral Weeks vs. Born to Run

    Maybe I'm coming out of left field with this comparison, but these two albums remind me of each other. Both have only eight tracks that are all pretty musically similar and both are much better consumed as a whole than by the individual track.

    Best Bob Dylan Album

    The choices include the five that I would expect to be the most common picks. If yours isn't on there, let us know which one it is.

    Best Closing Track on an Album

    Which song does the best job of tying a great album together and closing it out? My choice: Won't Get Fooled Again from Who's Next Honorable mention: Jungleland from Born to Run

    Best Opening Track on an Album

    Not just best song that happens to be the first track on an album, but song that best exemplifies what an opening song should be and creates the appropriate mood for the rest of the album. My choice: Rocks Off from Exile on Main St. Honorable mention: Second Hand News from Rumours

    Rolling Stone Magazine's 100 Greatest Artists List

    This is the best link to the list I could find (the Rolling Stone site only lets you see ten artists at a time): http://www.listology.com/blindsider/list/rolling-stone-100-greatest-artists-all-time-immortals It's as good of a list as you can hope for, all things considered. Certainly much...

    Guns N' Roses vs. Van Halen

    For me, it's the classic lineup of Eddie, Alex, Diamond Dave, and Michael Anthony all the way.

    Billy Joel vs Bruce Springsteen

    The Piano Man vs. The Boss. I think this one is much closer than most critics do. And I think Billy and Bruce have much more in common as artists than Billy and Elton do. Hopefully this will stir up some interesting debate.
