10 Rock Albums Everyone Should Own

[@williamlangan5902]

Here's my list 1. The Beatles- Abbey Road 2. Yes- Fragile 3. The Rolling Stones- Beggars Banquet 4. Bob Dylan- Blonde On Blonde 5. Pink Floyd- Dark Side Of The Moon 6. Rush- Permanent Waves 7. Credence Clearwater Revival- Cosmo's Factory 8. Elton John- Goodbye Yellow Brick Road 9. Led Zeppelin- Physical Graffiti 10. Chicago- Chicago Transit Authority

[@BrendonSnyder]

Great list. Big fan of Yes, my favorite album by them is Close To The Edge. And you’re spot on with Led Zeppelin. Physical Graffiti is my favorite as well. In part two of the list I added Zeppelin and The Rolling Stones but went a little different. See link if you’re interested kzbin.info/www/bejne/oKKyeKaAYtmkp6M

A far more varied and interesting list than this fella in the video, in my opinion.

Am with you on Yes' Fragile. Most prefer Close to the Edge.

[@patriottex4813]

10. Led Zeppelin IV 9. Def Leppard Pyromania 8. ZzTop Eliminator 7. Van Halen 1984 6. Meatloaf Bat Out of Hell 5. Boston debut album 4. Journey Escape 3. AcDc Back in Black 2. Chicago Chicago Transit Authority 1. Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon

[@BrendonSnyder]

My favorite Led Zeppelin album is Physical Graffiti, and my favorite Meat Loaf album is actually Bad Attitude. But as for Jim Steinman albums it would be Batt II. Good list!

Out here in LA, the tribute band Led Zepagain a few years ago played Physical in order, all the way through. I was in Heaven to hear that whole album live, and they did a spectacular job. I enjoy every single track on that record. My Dad loved Boogie With Stu.

On any given day that list could be different for me. There are just so many great albums. That’s why I didn’t call it a Top 10 and just titled it as 10 albums because there are so many good ones. Led Zeppelin’s Physical Graffiti is my favorite by the band.

[@kitoyobeni1]

For my list, I went with 10 albums to introduce rock music in it's many forms to a new listener, starting with the building blocks: 1. Beatles - Abbey Road 2. Rolling Stones - Exile On Main Street 3. Led Zeppelin - IV 4. Beach Boys - Per Sounds 5. Black Sabbath - Paranoid 6. Pink Floyd - Dark Side Of The Moon 7. Queen - A Night At The Opera 8. Doors - Doors 9. Jimi - Are You Experienced 10. Allman Brothers - At Fillmore East After those, we' could branch out further, or go backwards to their influences.

[@BrendonSnyder]

I’m a big Doors fan and almost included the debut as well. Queen and Zeppelin for sure. Jimi Hendrix had some hugely influential songs but I never felt he had an album that was a defining as all of these others. But that’s just my opinion.

Van Halen (1984) was the first album I bought...followed closely by ZZ Top (Eliminator).

I can’t argue that those are just monster, hit driven albums for the masses but as you were listing some of the songs from them, I couldn’t help but think how terrestrial rock radio has overplayed them to the point that I don’t ever need to hear them again. That may be a topic for another video!

[@BrendonSnyder]

Oh I know what you mean! I’ve stopped listening to radio for that reason. And there are lots of albums by these artists that I prefer over these monster albums because they have been worn out. My favorite AC/DC album is Fly On The Wall, for Journey its Frontiers, ZZ Top, its recycler, etc.

[@timholt9948]

I've been thinking how apt rock radio needs to change it was great back in the day I wish I had a station I would play more album cuts led zep acdc and pink floyd are well covered and I love them but they need to go deeper on some other acts I mean why does it have to be smoke on the water by deep purple everytime

@@timholt9948 Definitely. The rock radio stations I (try to) listen to can't seem to pass the day without playing "Comfortably Numb" or "Here I Go Again." And "The Boys Are Back In Town" is the only Thin Lizzy song I hear (except for "Jailbreak" on rare occasion); where's their later stuff "Cold Sweat", "Chinatown", and "Angel of Death"?

Not trying to be a outcast, but these types of lists, while fun to discuss are solely a matter of personal taste. So because of that, naturally no two lists will be the same. Nor are any ‘right’ & or ‘wrong’ either.

I would also add AC/DC : Highway to Hell, YES : 90125, Pink Floyd : The Wall, Peter Frampton : Frampton Comes Alive, KISS : Destroyer, Bryan Adams : Reckless, John Cougar Mellencamp : Uh-huh, Meatloaf : Bat out of Hell, Dire Straits : Dire Straits, Dire Straits : Love over Gold and of course no list should be without Dire Straits : Brothers in Arms which in my humble opinion is just nudged out of top spot on ANY list by AC/DC : Back in Black

[@Zilly12]

Surfer Rosa is definitely a album to own

[@russdavies9686]

Always enjoy these lists. I'll see what I can come up with but I'm consciously not putting them in any kind of order. The toughest part is only doing 10. - Rolling Stones - Sticky Fingers - The Who - Who's Next - Lynyrd Skynyrd - Second Helping - Black Sabbath - Paranoid - Status Quo - Ma Kelly's Greasy Spoon - Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here - Bruce Springsteen - Darkness On The Edge Of Town - Deep Purple - Machine Head - Nazareth - Hair Of The Dog - AC/DC - Highway To Hell There's 10. That could easily change tomorrow and I'm sure there's just as many I didn't think of. Some of these were picked more because of an emotional attachment to a particular album (Wish You Were Here, for example) rather than me thinking it is necessarily the "best" Pink Floyd album.

[@BrendonSnyder]

I’m the same way. My list and opinion of these and the order could change on any day based on how I feel. I just filmed a 2nd video called 10 More Rock Albums Everyone Should Own and some from your list made that one. I’ll be posting it Tuesday.

[@enriquesoto6534]

Great choices, awesome episode! Will always praise your passion for music, you are truly a connoisseur, with a big smile! Carry on, Brendon!!

[@hartmutpeter215]

Yes, your selection is really great. 50 years of music history pass me by ,of course also 50years of age. I remember when all these albums came out i bought them immediatly. Some still on cassette. Dark Side Of The Moon is blowing everything. It's truly an incarnation for me. The sounding is unbelievable also in the first pressing. Alan Parson and the band did an excellent job. It sounds so spatial and transparent. Of course all Pink Floyd releases are sound technically brilliant but DSOTM is a blueprint for awesome sounding. IT's not for nothing that it is used as a test plate for high-quality music systems rightly.

[@BrendonSnyder]

These albums are such iconic representations of great music, specific genres, classic periods of time, and hold some of the best memories for me as I’m sure they do for you too. And everything you said about Floyd you are spot on with.

Miles Davis - Bitches Brew too

[@BrendonSnyder]

Let’s see your “rock” list includes Punk, Post Punk, Metal, Rap, Alternative and Jazz with there only being 2 actual “rock” bands. But out of those albums I would agree that there are quite a few people should own as well especially from their respective genres.

This list really surprised me honestly. The only one you picked that I predicted was Dark Side of the Moon. Not that its a bad thing you surprised me and there are some things on here I have overlooked because it looked to me like a good single with a lot of filler, but I may check some of these out as full albums after your video. I tried to keep the context of "should own" rather than "favorite". My favorite rock albums after all would be insane to everyone as there is no version of it that would not include Discovery by ELO. lol

I had all these albums, some I can still listen to, some I can’t. Played all of them to death. Blows my mind that Scholz recorded the first Boston record in a cellar with that sound and I will never get sick of hearing Foreplay/Long Time. Moving Pictures will always be timeless, Rush is just an amazing band. And Foreigner 4? You know you have a great album when the album cuts are better than the hits. I was playing it recently with my 15 year old son in the car driving somewhere and he couldn’t believe how good Girl on the Moon was.

[@evanjeffries2272]

Great top 10 I own all of them on vinyl and/or CD. But for my personal list I would change 3 of the band's albums to ZZ Top Tres Hombres, Foreigner Double Vision and Van Halen Debut.

[@BrendonSnyder]

Those could easily have been on the list. They’re also classics as well. And I almost went with Double Vision and Van Halen’s debut. But I also selected based on albums that got me into the band and so Van Halen’s 1984 was the first album of their’s I got so I went with that one, and so forth.

[@j.j.guerrieri8121]

Tres Hombres is great

[@filmtintin]

I was so surprised how every album was on my list as well with the exception of taking Pink Floyd out and replacing it with Night Ranger’s Dawn Patrol. There is not a bad song on it with amazing dual guitar riffs, dual vocals, keyboards and rocking songs. But as always great video and commentary!

Deep Purple In Rock.... definitely.. and UFO -- Strangers In The Night. Although I care for only 4 songs on there. However, those four songs are so g'damn good. Rock Bottom (incredible 5 minute solo), Lights Out, Love to Love, & Doctor. Doctor. Love PF Animals. G&R Appetite For Destruction, every Aerosmith album before Night In The Ruts (including Live Bootleg). If I had to pick, it would be so hard, but the 'Rocks' album 1st, and maybe 'Get Your Wings' 2nd. JP in Dallas and Memphis live was great. The Ripper, Diamonds and Rust etc. etc. The Who, Who's Next is up there. So many more. Thing is, I was at that UFO recording live in 1979, at the Amphitheatre in Chicago. Michael Schenker was on it that night.

[@BrendonSnyder]

Hi Adrian, I’m a fan of UFO too. But for me I prefer the studio album. But as far as live albums go, Strangers is really good. But I also prefer the original release before the remasters version re-edited the track listing.

[@dirkbag22]

Burn is a really great album. Machine Head is a must have, should be in any top 10 IMO. The first Boston album is one of the most important albums ever - he changed music forever, and perhaps not all for the better. His album became the template for record companies for many years, just because it was such a huge album. Everyone had it. I was in high school and everyone had the tape in their car. I think it's Hitch a Ride that has that great guitar duet at the end - all these years later it still gives me chills. Dark Side I'd put higher in the top 10 but like you said, it's subjective and I acknowledge that. My honorable mentions: Alice Cooper, at the band's highest heights: Billion Dollar Babies Chicago crossing over from hard rock and fusion into serious rock and pop: Chicago V Yes, with an amazingly successful progressive rock album, Fragile Uriah Heep's magical sound recording, the absolutely dreamy Demons and Wizards Roxy Music really nailed their sound on Siren The Clash and their "White Album," London Calling The Stones' spectacular double elpee Exile on Main Street ELO's not a lick of filler in a double album Out of The Blue Lou Reed's New York. Stripped down and gritty Muse - I love 4 or 5 of their albums, I will pick Resistance Thanks for your videos!
