Maybe we should limit it to our top 10 or top 20. I mean, I could list 1,000 albums I've owned. Or, probably 3,000 I've listened to some of.
I think top 10 or 20 is plenty per post. I'm sure many of us could list off hundreds!
Top 10 is particularly difficult...but fun to try.

The Beatles - Revolver
Anything Led Zeppelin
The Beastie Boys - Licensed to Ill (not totally rock, not totally rap, but something in between)
Anything by Tool
Nirvana - In Utero
Metallica - Metallica
Metallica - Master of Puppets
Simon & Garfunkel - The Sound of Silence
Anything by The Grateful Dead
I'm a teenager, and I think some of the older generations would be surprised by what a lot of us listen to. A majority of my friends listen to rock/a form of rock (ranging from Fall Out Boy to the Grateful Dead to Slipknot), and most boys that I know listen to rock. Nearly all of the girls I know listen to newer pop, but there are still a huge amount of young people who listen to rock. Everyone says rock is dead and gone but there are at least two rock bands in my school and you can't go a day without seeing at least 10 classic rock t-shirts (Zeppelin, Floyd, Stones etc.).

Hey, what do you mean by older generations.
Seriously, looks like your parents are raising you right! Nice selections...I love the "anything Led Zeppelin". One of my top 5 for sure!
Might I suggest some Rush?

Older could mean just a few years...
My dad borrowed my "Moving Pictures" CD before I got to rip it, I'll need to get that back. I've also got a cool Rush pin from 1980, likely from a concert. Haven't listened to Rush in a while (been stuck on Zeppelin and AC/DC the past couple weeks) but they're the owners of one of the songs I believe are masterpieces (YYZ).

Oh good I've been needing a thread like this :3, I grew up on classic Rock though I have NO clue what I used to listen to <.<
There is hope after all:

Pink Floyd is a top 5 band for me as well (with Rush, The Beatles, Zeppelin and The Stones).

I also grew up during the rock and blues era and instead of studying, spent most of my time listening. My mum would nag and nag, but my dad was supportive. Am 56 now and my 2 sons also in the music thingy as well.
And my top 5 bands that i was crazy about during my school days were Doors, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath including Ozzy of course, Lynyrd Skynyrd and Uriah Heep.

Thx for kicking off this thread MH! (like your comparison thread too, but just like music more than cans)
Some of the offered lists above reminded me of albums I hadn't listened to in a while (e.g., Cream).
Further, I confirmed that the albums listed so far have covered all the classic rock songs I rated with 5 stars in my iTunes library (takes a lot for me to give a song 5 stars).
There's 1 album I hadn't noticed in posts so far that really captured a slice of the classic rock period for me...the original Woodstock soundtrack (triple vinyl).
So many great artists. Some just emerging (e.g., CSNY, Hendrix, Santana).
I'm thinking that it might be a good way for a current teenager to get exposed to a bit of that era via just 1 album.
IDK, this may be 1 of those situations where the album really only engages those who lived the era.
Just a thought...

Not just a thought...a great one! I'm surprised that one hasn't been mentioned. Hendrix was amazing!
