Like to see a few more post their 'ten best'......as I said it seems to be 'our favorite ten' best because some of those posted aren't on other fan and critic lists.....indeed I have never even heard of Billy Nichols and a few others I mentioned above. And some of the others ,while they did some good lps, imho they sure arent ten best album quality....but as always it's subjective.
Thoughts.....?

 

[Arkie]

No particular order...
ZZ Top - Deguello
Pink Floyd - Animals
Jethro Tull - Aqualung
Humble Pie - Rocking the Fillmore
Grand Funk - Red Album
MetallicA - and justice for all
Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath
J. Geils - Full House
The Who - Live at Leeds
SRV - Texas Flood

I thought the boys of Zepp liked what ABBA were doing..........and Aerosmith was moved by RunDMC.
That said, no one thinks to highly of who the HOF has in, or doesn't.

1. Physical Graffitti
2. Exile
3. Zepp 4
4. Dark Side
5. Abbey Road
6. Electric Ladyland
7. Zepp 2
8. Blonde on Blonde
9. Sticky Fingers
10. Highway 61 Revisited

a few i haven't seen noted:
Master of Reality, Paranoid...... Loaded.....Velvet Underground........No Fun....Stooges......Number of the Beast..........Nothing Shocking and Ritual De Lo.............

Shouldn't we have a separate list for live albums? If not, to not include ya ya's , well in my opinion, it's just wrong. Sympathy, MIdnight, Stray, Love in vain, jj Flash....All among the greatest recordings ever. hands down.

^ Live albums is a good call.....Bon please start a thread on that.

I wanted to name a few lps that should imho be in any serious rock fans collection at home.
These are not big names like Beatles, Stones, Zeppelin, Who, Bowie, Dylan, etc...though a few have become better known after many years while a few remain unknown to the general public.
A few of my all time favorite records that I never tire of hearing. These just popped into my head but I'll post others if they come to me....albums that 'talk to me' for various reasons.
In no special order......

Love- 'Forever Changes'
Spirit- '12 Dreams of Dr Sardonicus'
Captain Beyond- st
The Move-"Shazam'
Humble Pie-'Rock On'
Nick Drake-'Five Leaves Left'
Captain Beefheart-'Clear Spot'
