And if you like Rock, you need some Rolling Stones. The best are Sticky Fingers, Exile on Main Street and the Live Get yer ya-ya's out. But the DVD Ladies and Gentlemen recorded Live during the US tour in 1972 is also a very good way to discover them.
I'd probably put "Let it Bleed" at the top, followed by "Beggar's Banquet". But there's no question that those 5 albums are one of the finest, if not the finest, runs of rock albums ever made by a single artist.
Some other good runs (in addition to the Beatles from Rubber Soul through Abbey Road) include:
The Kinks: Face to Face, Something Else, Village Green Preservation Society, Arthur, Lola Powerman Money-go-round, and Muswell Hillbillies. This stuff is a lot more "pop".
Allman Brothers: Beginnings (their first two), Live at the Fillmore East, Eat a Peach.
Credence Clearwater Revival
Jethro Tull: This Was, Stand Up, Benefit, Aqualung
Procol Harum: Whiter Shade of Pale, Shine on Brightly, A Salty Dog, Home, Broken Barricades.
The Dead: Live-Dead, Workingman's Dead, American Beauty, Europe 72.
So many more, but this is getting dissipated.
