    So many classic from so many legendary bands and artists... Exile On Main Street by The Rolling Stones , Bat Out Of Hell by Meat Loaf, Appetite For Destruction by Guns N' Roses etc... My own personal favourite has been Journey's Trial By Fire for many years. What's your own fave? Or can't you choose between all the classic albums out there?

    Led Zeppelin II. No question. Still blows me away every time I hear it. The production is simply astonishing and not only are there no filler songs, I don't think there is so much as one second on the whole album that could be changed or removed. Perfection

    Too many to choose from, but Appetite For Destruction is pretty perfect.

    To declare one has a definitive favourite means one has not listened to nearly enough classic rock.

    At the mo..............

    Whos Next? The Who.

    Very hard to beat. Everyone should hear this at least once in their lifetime.

    Only bettered by the Beatles, in my humble opinion..

    In all honesty, I find it hard to see that as anything more than a pop album.

    After Rubber Soul they weren't pop albums any more. Maybe not full on rock like, but maybe kinda... psychedelic rock? I don't know.. I just like the album anyway whatever it is :P

    What about Tomorrow Never Knows? That's hardly a pop song.

    I'd have to choose between:
    Close To The Edge - Yes
    Discipline - King Crimson
    Passion and Warfare - Steve Vai
    Sailing the Seas of Cheese - Primus

    From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, ‘Look at that, you son of a bitch’.

    From when I discovered albums it would have been Exile On Main Street by the Stones until I was around 40. Then it became OK Computer by Radiohead. Since turning 50 it's become Ashes Of The Wake by Lamb of God.

    Is Marquee Moon by Television a classic rock album?

    If so, then ...

    Marquee Moon.




    I would also give a shout to.....

    (and I know its not fashionable to like them)

    The Unforgettable Fire.

    I'd say the Beatles wrote some of the greatest rock songs of all time, especially in the mid-60s....

    Day Tripper would be a prime example.
    (Or Drive My Car. Or Cant Buy Me Love. Or Hard Days Night.....)

    But all of the albums would have had at least a few softies in them.
