Great Rock Albums

[S<issors]

Preferably modern stuff or really obscure stuff; I don't need you to tell me about Floyd or the Stones.

I'm looking for good, hard rocking stuff that isn't metal.

Pretty broad.

Grunge era stuff?

Try Live if you've never listened to them before (Throwing Copper, Secret Samahdi, Distance to Here)

Also, maybe some Flogging Molly or Dropkick Murphys?

 

[Orion Crystal Ice]

You beat me to the Live recommendation.. all three of those, starting with 'Throwing Copper' which I think is the overall pinnacle...amazing stuff.

The Mission - Children, very good goth tinged rock..

All of The Mars Volta's stuff....

Line of Fire, if you're into an AOR influenced sound..

 

[Omni]

Queen - Queen through Jazz, especially A Night at the Opera

 

[The Ozzman]

THIN LIZZY - JAILBREAK

The greatest "post grunge" band, in my opinion.
