Those of you who have suggested this is not a list of rock classics have one more vote for that notion. Many of those listings I've never heard of before and many are not rock. My own bias leans towards late 60's acid rock with a few later offerings thrown in for spice. I've removed all the albums I thought were too obscure to be classified as classical (The Collectors, Blodwyn Pig, The Mighty Groundhogs, etc.), but the list, though partial, is still very long. Eat a Peach/Allman Brothers Band Live At The Fillmore East/Allman Brothers Band Sgt. Pepper/Beatles White Album/Beatles Cheap Thrills/Big Brother & the Holding Company The Crazy World of Arthur Brown/Arthur Brown Paranoid/Black Sabbath Blind Faith/Blind Faith The Snow Goose/Camel CTA/Chicago Electric Music for Mind and Body/Country Joe and the Fish I Feel Like I'm Fixing to Die/Country Joe and the Fish Disraeli Gears/Cream Wheels of Fire/Cream Creedence Gold/Creedence Clearwater Revival Crosby, Stills and Nash/Crosby, Stills and Nash Deja Vu/Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young Book of Taliesyn/Deep Purple Deep Purple/Deep Purple Deep Purple in Rock/Deep Purple Layla/Derek and the Dominoes Doors/The Doors Strange Days/The Doors Blond on Blond/Dylan Highway 61 Revisited/Dylan Goodbye Yellow Brick Road/Elton John Emerson, Lake and Palmer/Emerson, Lake and Palmer Tarkus/Emerson, Lake and Palmer Then Play On/Fleetwood Mac The Flock/The Flock Closer To Home/Grand Funk Railroad Greatful Dead/Greatful Dead Anthem to the Sun/Greatful Dead Live Dead/Greatful Dead Alice's Restaurant/Guthrie, Arlo All Things Must Pass/Harrison, George Hot Tuna/Hot Tuna In-a-Gadda-da-Vida/Iron Butterfly It's A Beautiful Day/It's A Beautiful Day James Gang Rides Again/James Gang Surrealistic Pillow/Jefferson Airplane After Bathing At Baxters/Jefferson Airplane Blows Against The Empire/Jefferson Airplane Crown Of Creation/Jefferson Airplane Volunteers/Jefferson Airplane Stand Up/Jethro Tull Benefit/Jethro Tull Aqualung/Jethro Tull Are You Experienced?/Jimi Hendrix Axis: Bold As Love/Jimi Hendrix Electric Ladyland/Jimi Hendrix Band of Gypsys/Jimi Hendrix Mad Dogs and Englishmen/Joe Cocker The Turning Point/John Mayall Leftoverture/Kansas In the Court Of the Crimson King/King Crimson Led Zepplin I/Led Zepplin Led Zepplin II/Led Zepplin Living In The U.S.A./Steve Miller Band Days Of Future Past/Moody Blues In Search Of The Lost Chord/Moody Blues On The Threshold Of A Dream/Moody Blues To Our Children's Children's Children/Moody Blues Moon Dance/Van Morrison Tupelo Honey/Van Morrison Absolutely Free/Mothers of Invention Lumpy Gravy/Mothers of Invention We're Only in it for the Money/Mothers of Invention Nantucket Sleigh Ride/Mountain Ummagumma/Pink Floyd Soundtrack for the movie MORE/Pink Floyd Meddle/Pink Floyd Wish You Were Here/Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon/Pink Floyd The Wall/Pink Floyd Shine On Brightly/Procol Harum Quicksilver Messenger Service/Quicksilver Messenger Service Happy Trails/Quicksilver Messenger Service Shaherazade/Rennaisance Beggars Banquet/Rolling Stones Let It Bleed/Rolling Stones Sticky Fingers/Rolling Stones Santana/Santana Abraxas/Santana Can't Buy a Thrill/Steely Dan Steppenwolf Live/Steppenwolf Past, Present and Future/Al Stewart Year of the Cat/Al Stewart Super Session/Mike Bloomfield, Al Kooper, Steve Stills Crime of the Century/Supertramp Even in the Quietest Moments/Supertramp Undead/Ten Years After The Clash/The Clash Who's Next/The Who Tommy/The Who Who's Next/The Who Quadraphenia/The Who John Barleycorn Must Die/Traffic Woodstock/Assorted artists Moondance/Van Morrison The Smoker You Drink, The Player You Get/Joe Walsh The Yardbirds/The Yardbirds Fragile/Yes The Yes Album/Yes Close To the Edge/Yes -- Robert Reed, Tektronix Logic Design Systems Division, tektronix!teklds!bobr

What about BOWIE??? Roxy Music? Sex Pistols? Personally, I would pit "Exile on Main Street" by the Rolling You-Know-Whats against any ever recorded.
