i think, i`ll give it a try:

pink floyd - "the dark side of the moon"
the beatles - "The white album"
Genesis - "Selling England by the pound"
Genesis - "The lamb lies down on broadway"
deep purple - "deep purple"
sam and dave - "sweet soul music" (great covers)
Jefferson Airplane - "surrealistic pillow" (unique atmosphere)
Böhse Onkelz - "Hier sind die Onkelz" (german rock, 1990)
Deep Purple - "Concerto for group and orchestra"

i will only name these 9, because i am sure, i forgot one and i will edit it later....

Well, my five favourites are:

1. Wish You Were Here - Pink Floyd
2. Electric Ladyland - The Jimi Hendrix Experience
3. Amused To Death - Roger Waters
4. Are You Expereinced - The Jimi Hendrix Experience
5. Dark Side Of The Moon - Pink Floyd

'Sonic Temple' by The Cult has to come close, as does the Hendrix's 'Axis: Bold As Love', basically anything by Pink Floyd, 'Abraxas' by Santana, and loads of others.

 

best albums in rock history---the beatles:revolver--the doors:the doors--the jimi hendrix experience:are you experienced--led zeppelin:3--big brother and the holding company:cheap thrills

 

forgot this one--the velvet underground & nico

 

Back In Black by AC/DC has got to be up there.

You shook me all night long!

You said it man.

 

Every Grunge album ever made, especially Dirt - AiC

 

It all depends on which kind of rock you like of course. Rock is such a huge music genre now. I mean, technically folk rock is rock as well, just like indie, classic, psychedelic, blues rock, hard rock.
There are so many different kinds of rock that makes it hard to decide which albums I should call the greatest.
I just picked the rock albums that I think has the greatest rock atmosphere. Rock 'n roll baby! The essential rock vibe which causes the feeling that you want to rock out.

Atomic Bitchwax, the - 1999 - The atomic bitchwax
Deep Purple - 1970 - In rock/1972 - Machine head
Doors, the - 1967 - The doors
Diamond Head - 1980 - Lightning to the nations
Greenleaf - 2001 - Revolution rock
Jimi Hendrix - 1968 - Electric Ladyland
Nashville Pussy - 1998 - Let them eat pussy
Nebula - 1998 - Let it burn
Rainbow - 1978 - Long live rock 'n roll
Steppenwolf - 1968 - Steppenwolf but also their second, from the same year
Yardbirds, the - 1965 - For your love/Having a rave up with (kind of hard picking one album but they definately rock my socks, they just have to be on this list).

 

i prefer rainbow rising

 

Me too, but this one rocks better. Stargazer gives me eargasms, but except for Tarot woman and Startruck it doesn't rock as good as Long live rock 'n roll's Kill the king, The shed, Gates of Babylon and of course the title song.

 

~Jefferson Airplane - After Bathing at Baxter's (this is #1 JA album but there are so
many more great ones)
~Pink Floyd - Piper at the Gates of Dawn (this is #1 PF but there are other great ones)
~The Beatles - Revolver
~Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin I
~Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath
~Cream - Fresh Cream
~The Who - Quadrophenia
~ i don't know what else...

JOn

 

The greatest? That is very hard to decide. There are so many that I would choose.

Personally, these albums are a couple of my favorites:

"The Piper at the Gates of Dawn"-Pink Floyd
"Ummagumma"-Pink Floyd
"In Through the Out Door"-Led Zeppelin
"L.A. Woman"-The Doors
"Revolver"-The Beatles
"Aqualung"-Jethro Tull
"Demons and Wizards"-Uriah Heep

There are many more, but I will save you the reading.

 

'Electric Ladyland' and 'Wish You Were Here'.

 

David Bowie - The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust.

Followed closely by:

The Velvet Underground - The Velvet Underground and Nico

 

'The Rise and Fall Of Ziggy Stardust' is great, but I hate the other one.

 

Aenima- Tool

Bleach- Nirvana
self titled- deftones
and pretty much any older pearl jam CD

 

Well, my list still stands . But somehow I forgot to put Sabbath's Master of reality on it. Of course that's not the only album them that should be on the greatest rock album list (same case with the Doors, among others). Slightly less brilliant, but while I'm at it I add Nashville Pussy - High as hell also on the list, 'cause it rocks just as superb as their debut.

 

Hate is a wasteful emotion, especially when God was created by man in Lou Reed's image.

 

Methinks not.
