Another great ten rock albums. I'm a big Sammy Hagar fan, so very happy that you put 5150 up here. Keep up the good work. Love this channel.

[@BrendonSnyder]

I knew there would be some Sammy Hagar fans that would appreciate it. I like both eras so I had to cover both vocalists in the lists.

[@joet6434]

You should do Bon Scott era ACDC as you did Brian in your previous video much in the same way you did both vocalists of Van Halen, Powerage would be mine. Good list man, own & love each of these albums, would put Zep 3 or Physical Graffitti over 4 but its all about personal preference. Keep them coming, 8980 left😆

[@BrendonSnyder]

You’re right! And I did consider adding in Highway To Hell for just that reason. But I didn’t want to over do it. And yes still a lot to do. I’m working on a new video called 10 Most Underrated Rock Albums. Check for it this weekend.

[@yardleyyardley2631]

I have some unorthodox picks. - Riot: Fire Down Under - Y&T: Earthshaker - Budgie: In For The Kill - Tesla: The Great Radio Controversy - Nazareth: Razamanaz - Stooges: Raw Power - Replacements: Let It Be

[@spaghetti.lee-69]

The More " Unorthodox" the Better Nick... I would have Gone " Funhouse" over Raw power..... Whats Up with the Relacements.?? I keep Hearing about them But have never heard them...Seriously, in the last month The Black Crowes Mentioned them in an Interview. & A New York Hardcore Podcast I Listen Too also Mentioned them... Gotta check em out..

Man you got to jump on the Replacements! Paul Westerberg is a genius. Check out the album Tim and the song “Bastards Of Young”.

[@Nick-qf7vt]

@@spaghetti.lee-69 Can't go wrong with Funhouse! I agree with Brendon; the Replacements are fantastic. One of the bands that evolved the most over their career. They started out as ferocious hardcore style punk and then incorporated more pop elements. Their two greatest albums are considered to be Let It Be and Tim.

Brilliant choice and analysis Brendon. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

Congrats to finding the second list! I’m glad it was more to your liking. It’s all just personal tastes anyway and we all hear things in our own way. 👍

[@captainbeyond7469]

Nice to see my all time favorite band Deep Purple kicking things off. IMO although Machine Head is the big seller I would go with “In Rock” as their best and most influential. It was a game changing album in 1970 hard rock (Heavy Metal) was never the same going forward. Blackmore changed the hard rock game again in 1976 with the classic Rainbow Rising album.

[@BrendonSnyder]

In Rock is a fantastic album. Ultimately I like the sound better on Machine Head. But my favorite is Fireball.

@@BrendonSnyder Fireball is my all time favourite Deep Purple LP, it also happens to be Ian Gillans favourite too, so we are in good company !

Another John Sykes album....you may be on to something ! He’s highly underrated, at least in the US. He’s an excellent vocalist also 🎤 🎸!

[@BrendonSnyder]

He is amazing and deserves more attention. I just think it’s his relatively limited catalogue and that his biggest albums are with bands he didn’t start. So a bit lacking in identity such has having a hit band he started or hit solo album. But he really bolstered the albums he was on.

[@clevellbarney8917]

Can't tell you how better this list is than your first. I don't care who owns these but you actually got at least four of my very favorites on this list. Only Whitesnake and Van Haggar don't belong on any top ten. Not even on Top Ten permed Sammies or Top Ten Melanin-Challenged Reptiles

[@richarddavies6365]

Never get sick of hearing Some Girls. The album holds up really well too compared to other bands and music from the period. That to me has always been one of the marks of a great, timeless album. It perfectly reflects the time period it was made (the disco/new wave/punk period of the late ‘70s in the case of Some Girls) but also transcends it.

[@BrendonSnyder]

Hi Richard! That’s a great way to explain it. Yes an album that captures a specific time but is still timeless. You said it better than I could. And Some Girls is totally one of those.

[@SJHUE]

Yes well put Richard! It cost me a bit but I obtained the 2cd version with outtakes and I`m glad I did. I believe it empathises what great form the band were in at this point.

Very cool- good to see Steve Miller, his music was so timely and accessible in that mid to late 70s era. "Who's Next" to me is one of the greatest rock albums of all time from top to bottom.

I love the lists, but curious if you can give your take of albums post 1990? I know your channel is geared towards Classic Rock for the most part, but I also know that there are some great classic records of the 90s and 2000s that I feel are every bit as good to be included and by bands that maybe started up in the 80s or 90s or later that had their genuine best record in that later time frame. Understood if you want to stick to older records but curious since you are an avid Rock Fan as am I. Great content and thank you for these videos!

Machine Head is really great. The high huge opener Highway Star maybe one of the best songs by DP. The whole album is an enlightenment .From start to finish there are outstanding tunes. The brilliant Space Truckin' . They played it on Made In Japan over 19minutes length. A battle between Lord and Blackmore that is looking at its equals. By the way, when you are playing guitar and you want to check out a new guitar, please never play the riff of Smoke On The Water, absolutely never. What happens then?

nice list BUT the Doors DID have several BASS players (although they usually were not official members of the band and only played on the studio albums)... Ray Manzarek played the bass tracks on keyboard bass before they went into the studio to record their first album but 3 of the 11 songs on the first album contained bass guitar... Wrecking Crew member Larry Knechtel played bass on 'Soul Kitchen' and 'Light My Fire' and Doors guitarist Robby Krieger played bass on 'Back Door Man'. Doug Lubahn played bass on every song the 2nd album, 'Strange Days' and was asked to join the band officially by producer Paul Rothchild and the members of the Doors but declined because he was already in his own band, Clear Light. Doug also played bass and most of the 3rd album, 'Waiting for the Sun' (which also featured Kerry Magness on bass on 'The Unknown Soldier' and Leroy Vinnegar played acoustic bass on 'Spanish Caravan') and most of the 4th album, 'The Soft Parade' along with Harvey Brooks. Ray Neapolitan and Lonnie Mack played bass on their 5th album 'Morrison Hotel' and Jerry Scheff played bass on their 6th album 'L.A. Woman'. Scheff's son Jason replaced Peter Cetera on Bass and Vocals in the band Chicago after Peter left the band to go on his solo career.

[@fifeneil42]

the joshua tree by u2 ,reo speedwagon hi infedilty are a couple that could be in there 2 many 2 choose from tho.

[@BrendonSnyder]

Absolutely! Both are outstanding! Just simply not enough room for all the great ones. Third video in the series called 10 Additional Rock Albums Everyone Should Own will be posted tomorrow.

I'm a bit surprised that you've touched on 2 VH records and have yet to mention any of the first 4, especially the debut.

[@BrendonSnyder]

Why? I covered the David Lee Roth era and the Sammy Hagar era. It can’t only be VH in the list! Haha

[@kitoyobeni1]

@@BrendonSnyder Of course, I just find the debut to be the most iconic by a vast margin. To each his own though.

[@BrendonSnyder]

I can totally see that. I just went with the first VH album I ever bought which was 1984. But it’s all subjective.

[@kitoyobeni1]

@@BrendonSnyder 1984 was my first VH too.

[@leftinlister829]

Apparently people buy Led Zeppelin 4 like a single - Stairway to Heaven with 7 B-sides! Purple should've done the same with Machine Head / Smoke on the Water, but they didn't realize its significance and put it out as a single. Whitesnake (1987) is their best overall. The first time I heard Still of the Night I was staggered by its excellence.

[@BrendonSnyder]

Well for years there was not a Led Zeppelin best of album either so the only way to get it was on IV. AC/DC has been smart not to release a greatest hits which makes Back In Black sell more.

[@leftinlister829]

@@BrendonSnyder: These guys know what they're doing!

[@sunilramsingh67]

Two videos on the topic and no mention of Hotel California?

[@BrendonSnyder]

That’s because I don’t think it’s their best album.

[@timholt9948]

Another great list have had all of them in my collection fave is the beatles second is a three way tie between the stones led zep and pink floyd third is another three way tie between the doors hendrix and Jeff beck then could be funds n roses dylan tom petty bob sever van halen aerosmith or the who had a group come in yesterday may be the worst I've ever bought was really bad I thought it would be really good they had a couple of top ten hits that I really liked but those songs nowhere to be found on this album eaont say who they are but it was really bad

[@eugenehewitt2917]

Still can’t understand how MeatLoaf and ELO - New World Record don’t make top 20?

[@drlarrymitchell]

Why is Van Halen > Van Hagar? Cuz DLR ain't talkin' 'bout love.

[@BrendonSnyder]

Haha 👍

[@spaghetti.lee-69]

Steve Miller Band is A Good Call, But hes one of those artist that I Am OK With A Greatest Hits Record. No need to deep dive too much.

[@BrendonSnyder]

For me if you own Fly Like An Eagle and Book Of Dreams you’re pretty covered.

[@kitoyobeni1]

Oddly enough, I prefer his earlier bluesy records.

[@ronnierodriguez6247]

few yes but def leppard our beats van halen and white snake

[@filipsoustruznik3825]

Hotel California by Eagles should be in Top 10 too.🎸🎼

[@BrendonSnyder]

It was certainly considered and may appear in the follow video that will be a part 3.

[@FuturePast2019]

Machine Head 2 mill ( forgot USA soon to be Soviet? )

[@BrendonSnyder]

🤷‍♂️

[@hermangeritz]

Despite I like more the heavy genre of rock, I understand this top 10. Famous albums I mostly like. Only the Rolling Stones I never was a fan off but thats a taste question.

[@BrendonSnyder]

Well despite them being famous they’re still really good albums for people who are fans of the band and style of music.

[@dexterplant778]

This old music is excellent but old, it's been beat to death, the Western world has forgotten how to make great music like this, what's dropping now is pure garbage, if you want great executions and superior talent I suggest you turn towards Japan for hard driving well executed rock.

[@BrendonSnyder]

Dexter just because something is “old” doesn’t make is any less good. The albums on this list are ground breaking influential albums. That cannot be said about the music coming out of Japan. And I didn’t mention new artists of today because I don’t think they can stand up to the classics from before.

[@hancock1934]

Operation:Mindcrime?

[@BrendonSnyder]

Great album indeed but I consider Queensryche Metal so I did not include them here. I’m saving them for a Metal themed list.

[@hancock1934]

@@BrendonSnyder Good point. That should be a good list, as well!
