Top 10 Essential Rock Albums?

[HawkCapt1912]

This is a tough call. Much easier to do a top 25 or top 50. This is the stuff that has unfluenced my musical tastes the most. I know there are some I'm forgetting. In no particular order.

Hendrix: Are You Experienced?
Fleetwood Mac: Rumours
Zeppelin: II, IV, or Physical Graffiti
Stones: Sticky Fingers or Let It Bleed
ZZ Top: Tres Hombres
Who: Who's Next or Quadraphenia
Floyd: DSOTM or The Wall
Springsteen: Born to Run
Joe Cocker: Mad Dogs & Englishmen
Allman Bros: Brothers & Sisters

 

[Panic1769]

Fugazi Waiting Room is one of my all time favorite songs.

I see your "Waiting Room" and raise you "Margin Walker." Just an amazing song...
