Well, I forgot Van Halen. Their S/T album is pretty classic.

CLASSIC ROCK? Many of the albums that become classics are not the biggest hits of their day.

Here's a fairly influential list:

Way too many to make a definitive list, so I'll limit myself to 3:

King Crimson - Larks' Tongues in Aspic
Led Zeppelin - Houses of the Holy
Jethro Tull - Aqualung

Okay 2 more:

The Velvet Underground & Nico - Andy Warhol / s/t
The Doors - s/t

And now I have to stop before I come up with 234,895 more.

In my view, Zep, Purple, AC/DC, Van Halen, Aerosmith ARE all metal bands, so I'll go with non-metal:


the four Rolling Stones records released between 1968-1972 are
about as awesome as it gets! True BLUES-rock, without a fault to be found:
"Beggars Banquet"
"Let It Bleed"
"Sticky Fingers"
"Exile On Main Street"

And, of course, George Harrison's first solo record (the 3 LP) "All Things Must Pass" is unstoppable!

Jimi Hendrix- Electric Ladyland
Blue Oyster Cult- Tyranny and Mutation

And, of course, George Harrison's first solo record (the 3 LP) "All Things Must Pass" is unstoppable!

I don't know why I forgot to mention this, since it's probably my 3rd favorite album ever.
