Your favourite rock album?

ohigg84 · 01-10-2013 9:46am

For me it has to be AC/DC's Powerage. Surely the finest AC/DC studio album recorded in early 1978. A cracking album, i just love it, it is steeped in blues and hard rock. I love Down Payment Blues, Gimme A Bullet, Riff Raff, Sin City, Gone Shootin' and Up To My Neck In You.

O course I love all AC/DC albums, but this album is really special to me.

But they played Sin City

I can still see the grin on Bons' face as he asked is Dublin a Sin City ?

Metalica --- nothing else matters

it's my favorite

stefan idiot jones · 10-10-2013 9:10pm

I don't have a favourite, but Rainbow's Rising is an all time classic. I don't listen to it all the time. I save it up to savour the glory of it.
It is flawless, Dio is at his sanctimonious best.

Motorhead's Ace Of Spades is another.
Meat Loaf's Bat Out Of Hell.
Whitesnsnake's Come An Get It.

Pretzel Logic - Steely Dan

Infidels - Dylan

Workingman's Dead - Grateful Dead

If push came to shove I would have to go with the Rolling Stones Sticky Fingers. Its got everything a good rock album should have and a great cover to boot.

walshb · 06-02-2014 4:50pm

I love Rattle and Hum and I love Appetite For Destruction. Does Nevermind from Nirvana count?

stefan idiot jones · 07-02-2014 9:42am

Nevermind does but Rattle and Hum has no place at all.

Nice to see the first album I ever owned, Queen's Night at the Opera on 'Classic Albums' on Sky tonight. I had great taste, even at 11 years old. Not sure that it's still my 'favourite', but it's a good un.

that's a great one !! I used to listen to it for days with no interruption.....

Death on Two Legs in DTS on a decent 5.1 system is mind blowing. What an opener.

I prefer Day at the Races though.

dptcoyle · 14-06-2014 12:43am

For me it's either Rainbow's 'Long Live Rock N Roll' or Jethro Tull's 'Broadsword and The Beast'. I've been listening to both regularly since I was about 6 and still not tired of them.

Whammy! · 22-06-2014 4:43pm

For me my favourite rock album is Deep Purple's Machine Head.
I just wish the song "When a blind man cries" was included on the original album instead of using it as a B side to a single.

Think all the band did except Ritchie.

Riot - Fire Down Under is well worth listening to. The opening riff to 'Sword and Tequila' should sound very familiar!

Mr Snow · 01-08-2014 11:27pm

ac/dc back in black
The Jimi Hendrix Experience Are You Experienced

BeepBeep67 · 01-08-2014 11:45pm

I always revert back to the first 2 rock albums I bought, both are live albums and both are from the era of OTT solos.
Made in Japan- Deep Purple
The Song Remains the Same - Led Zeppelin
Deep Purple in particular took me on an amazing journey through Rainbow, Elf, Whitesnake, Glenn Hughes, Tommy Bolin, Gillian and many more.
Green Bullfrog was a particular nice find.

and romours by fleetwood mac

Taajsgpm · 29-10-2014 1:47am

Yea I love Areosmiths firt album too, and all of Zeps and Live at Leeds and my God its impossible I could go on all night

dr.bollocko · 03-11-2014 3:58pm

The doors LA Woman captures as close to a perfect album for me as there could be - and Zeppelin II.
Favourite live would be Neil Young's recent Live at the cellardoor...

Rumours though is just a perfect example of album done right also.

Tenacious D obviously stand alone above everyone else. Goes without saying really.
