I need some classic rock albums!!

[snutes1]

I basically have the entire U2 and Beatles collection, but not much else besides some 90's rock albums. But I definately want to get some albums from Led Zeppelin, The Who, Cream maybe, The Ramones etc.

What do you guys suggest I get.

Need some advice

Thanx

The first 6 Zep albums, definitely, everything through Physical Graffitti.

The Who- Live at Leeds, Who's Next, Quadrophenia(though it's too pricy), The Who Sings My Generation, and Tommy. Maybe Who Are You, but it's expendable.

 

[bono-vox]

Get something with The Jam on it

 

[Johnny Swallow]

Cream - Wheels of Fire, Live Cream 1 or 2

And the Who and Led Zep that has already been said are good ones. Might try the Best of Queen as well.

 

[bono-vox]

Maybe not considered a rock band but what about a MUD album..oh they ruled

 

[Henne]

Who's Next, definetely. One of the best albums ever!

 

[Johnny Swallow]

AC/DC - Back In Black, Highway to Hell
Hendrix - Any of his albums with the Experience instead of his band of gypsys.

 

[IvanClaytonJnr]

Queen - Live At Wembley 86 , A Night at The opera , Innuendo + GH 1,2 + the First album called " QUEEN"
Red Hot Chilli Peppers - One Hot Minute , Californication
Guns'N'Roses - Live era 1987-1993
Paul Mccartney - " Give my regards to a broad street "
Ringo Star " Vertical Man "
John Lennon " Shaved Fish "
everything by Velvet Underground , David Bowie , Eno , Vangelis , and Pink Floyd

You need some Pink Floyd. I would recommend anything by them but if you are not a huge fan then stick with Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here, and The Wall

Nope--you're absolutely right!

Everything by Led Zep, Fragile by Yes, Brain Salad Surgery and Tarkus by Emerson, Lake and Palmer.

[Sister Ray]

I'd suggest the following albums by The Who:

The Who Sell Out
Tommy
Live At Leeds
Who's Next
Quadrophenia

You can't really go wrong with any of them. The rest of their albums are good too, but you should start with any/all of these.

Some great stuff already mentioned...but surprisingly no Rolling Stones.
Beggar's Banquet, Sticky Fingers and Some Girls for starters.

 

[martha]

And:

Every Picture Tells a Story-Rod Stewart (Don't laugh; he was great way back before disco.)

And despite an incredibly HORRID version of an Oasis song, some of his 80s-90s covers are good. Especially "Rhythm of My Heart"(Cheesy in a way, but DAGNABIT I love this song!)

 

[bullet the blue sky]

Van Morrison - Astral Weeks
Rolling Stones - Exile On Main Street

I'm not sure it counts as rock, but you need some New Order in there

 

[Zeni]

Any of Queen's first four albums: Queen, Queen II, Sheer Heart Attack, or A Night At The Opera. Classics

 

[Achtung Bubba]

What the hell's wrong with you people?

CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL - Chronicle (Greatest Hits)

 

[ericb]

BORN TO RUN- Bruce Springsteen
Toys In The Attic- Aerosmith

 

[KhanadaRhodes]
