The 5 albums that rock the most

My suggestion:
Definitely Maybe
Rage Against The Machine
Back in Black
Highway to Hell
Appetite for Destruction

Re: The 5 albums that rock the most

Led Zeppelin IV. Nothing is bigger than it. To borrow a pitchfork writers words "listening to Led Zeppelin IV is like fucking the grand canyon". I don't think it could be said better than that.

Except for a few tender soft moments, Are You Experienced is also quite the rocker. Also all of the early Who.

Re: The 5 albums that rock the most

Early Who? I find the most rocking Who album to be Who's Next, and the early stuff to be rather poppy.

Agree completely on IV and Are You Experienced.

Then of course there's Raw Power, Born To Run.

Going outside the super-canonical stuff, bands I find really rocking are Sleater-Kinney, Drive By Truckers.

Re: The 5 albums that rock the most

Definitely, not maybe, Definitely Maybe. First album I thought of when I read the thread title. Doolittle would be a second.

I'll second the Drive By Truckers....particularly SOUTHERN ROCK OPERA.

Re: The 5 albums that rock the most

Kick Out the Jams, Raw Power, Ramones, No Sleep Til Hammersmith.

Re: The 5 albums that rock the most

Anybody who wants a laugh should listen to Scharpling & Wurster's Rock Rot and Rule. Everytime I see something like this I'm reminded of it.

Stooges- Fun House
Metallica- Ride the Lighting and Master of Puppets
Aerosmith- Rocks
Led Zeppelin- II
Sleater Kinney- One Beat

Re: The 5 albums that rock the most

I second Kick Out The Jams & I'll add Fugazi's Repeater

Re: The 5 albums that rock the most

I'd like to mention the Stones "Sticky Fingers"
To me, that's always been one of the most, balls against the wall, rock albums.

Really? I love the album, it's the only Stones record I love but I have always thought of it as their stripped down, laid back album.

Re: The 5 albums that rock the most

I'll second Rage Against The Machine.
The Clash's debut and The White Stripes' Elephant immediately come to mind for me.
