Rutlefan Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 (edited) The '70s Aerosmith thread inspired this topic. I went with "favorite" over "great" so no one has to play rock historian. Some off the top of my head (not counting b-sides/extras and soundtrack albums, unless you want to): - Hemispheres, PeW, MP - Get Your Wings, Toys in the Attic, Rocks - Wire's Pink Flag, Chairs Missing, 154 - Led Zeppelin IV, Houses of the Holy, Physical Graffiti - Help!, Rubber Soul, Revolver - Magical Mystery Tour, The Beatles, Abbey Road (Sgt Peppers through The Beatles would have worked fine too) - Radiohead's The Bends, OK Computer, Kid A/Amnesiac double album (Kid A by itself is somewhat overrated I've always thought; Kid A plus Amnesiac plus some Amnesic B-sides like Cuttooth, The Fog and Kinetic would make a classic). - Sufjan Stevens' Michigan, Seven Swans, Come on Feel the Illinoise Lots of others I can think of, from Pink Floyd, Fleetwood Mac, The Cure, New Order, The Smiths, The Church, but the above stand out.
