Essential Classic Rock Albums.

List up albums you think are essential for every classic rock music collector to own.

Sticky Fingers ~ Rolling Stones (1971)

This was the first album recorded on the Rolling Stones' own label, the first in which Mick Taylor played guitar on all the tracks, and it serves as a showcase of the band's work at a time when the group was shaping its musical identity.

The Band ~ Music From Big Pink

Pink Floyd:

Dark Side of the Moon (1973)



Wish You Were Here(1975)



The Wall (1979)

Classic Rock collectors need DSOTM and The Wall because of the popularity of the albums. I would also add "Wish You Were Here" because this album shows the complexity of Pink Floyd's music compositions and the elaborate studio production.

AAARGH !! I was afraid this was going to happen... I hardly have any classic rock music... It's hard enough as it is to keep track of the current music I like.. And then this thread pops up, now I have to add it to my favorites and start copy pasting the albums I don't have into a "to do" download list.
Thanks Magic, I hope you realise what you have done... 25gig/month downloads... you filled me up for a month !

Grrr...
