![]() | Electric Ladyland by The Jimi Hendrix Experience
Buy used from: $99.50 Just listen to Hendrix waaaing it out on Come On part 1, Still Raining Still Dreaming, and Burning of the Midnight Lamp and you have the greatest rock album of all time. House Burning Down is probably his greatest with the spacey sound effects the mix studio was doing with the guitar feedback. This is what I call acid rock!

![]() | Axis: Bold as Love by The Jimi Hendrix Experience
Buy new: $11.99 / Used from: $6.76 Hendrix's second best acid rock classic! He really shines on Spanish Castle Magic, the rock ballad of If 6 was 9, and Ain't No Tellin'. Hendrix's best song written composition on the album is Castles Made of Sand. If you are new to rock & roll you should have this second to Electric Ladyland.

![]() | Close to the Edge by Yes
Buy used from: $2.00 The entire opening of Close to the Edge just blows me away with the raunchy guitar solos, just makes me want to crank it up every time I hear. These guys prove they're prog rockers, the organ section of I get up I get down just vibrates through my heart like I'm seeing them live and you only need this album to experience the real Yes, not The Yes Album, Close to the Edge. Get it now!

![]() | Yessongs by Yes
Buy new: $22.99 / Used from: $11.79 Ho ho ho!!! This is such a good album! I recommend you listen to Squire's solo of The Fish and tell me if you think it's one of the most insane bass solo's you've ever heard in your life! I've never heard Rick Wakeman do such a lightning fast keyboard solo as the one on Six Wives of Henry VIII! Throw away Led Zeppelin IV, get this rock gem, it has everything!
|
![]() | Santana III by Santana
Buy new: $6.99 / Used from: $3.95 This is by far the best Santana rock album ever made! When Neal Schon joined the band, they proved an edgier sound to their Rock & Roll, (which grunge artists like to copy) and they were the top band of the 1970's which made Aerosmith and Van Halen form. Listen to the dirty guitar solo in Jungle Strut and tell me where they got their sound!

![]() | Caravanserai by Santana
Buy used from: $2.91 One of the best rock albums ever made! It has a bit of Jazz Fusion mixed into it. Recommended tracks: Stone Flower, All the Love of the Universe, & Every Step of the Way.
|
![]() | Abraxas by Santana
Buy new: $6.99 / Used from: $3.29 This is probably Santana's solid gold classic right here! It does rock hard, but it show's their best work right after they performed at woodstock. And of course everyone knows Black Magic Woman and Oye Como Va. But who cares? You just gotta listen to the whole album. Buy it. Period.
|
![]() | Lotus by Santana
Buy new: $15.93 / Used from: $8.99 People say this is too loud, but it's one of Santana's most insane performances from Japan. Whoever likes raw hard rock n' roll had better check this one out.
|
![]() | Moonflower by Santana
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $12.63 The best live album in the whole wide world! Even though people say it's part live and part studio, I don't care. This is probably the Santana band's greatest achievement. Soul Sacrifice has the best extended drum solo and Santana rocks away on El Morocco, Toussaint L' Overture, She's Not There, Europa, aw this is good stuff right here. There's a pretty good bass solo on Zulu, so check it out.
|
![]() | Master of Puppets by Metallica
Buy new: $13.99 / Used from: $8.43 This album is just one big rock show! Battery just gives you fuel for more! Master of Puppets, Welcome Home Sanitarium, Damage Inc. all classics! Metallica's best album, nothing compares to it. This album is the only thrash album they ever got up to! It's Master of Puppets, not Ride the Lightning.
|
![]() | Wired by Jeff Beck
Buy new: $6.99 / Used from: $3.25 Led Boots just rocks the whole stereo, the bass, the guitar, the organ. Everything. You may call this powermetal, but it's Jazz Fusion Rock & Roll as a whole! Come Dancing, Head For Backstage Pass, have really great bass work. Jeff Beck's best album.
|
![]() | Aqualung by Jethro Tull
Buy new: $13.99 / Used from: $6.28 Aqualung is solid rock & roll. My God has the best guitar solo ever. The first album to make the band go pro.
|
![]() | Thick as a Brick by Jethro Tull
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $5.96 The entire Thick as a Brick compilation is amazing, just mind blowing. This is the Tull's finest masterpiece right here and it doesn't get any better than this.
|
![]() | Who's Next by The Who
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $3.35 The Best hard rock album ever made! Won't Get Fooled Again is the best rock ballad ever recorded by them!
|
![]() | A Wizard, A True Star by Todd Rundgren
Buy new: $12.99 / Used from: $5.19 It seems like a feeling of Deja Vu with International Feel, but Todd Rundgren wrote produced and composed this whole rock performance as the best rock album of '73! Best tracks: Is it My Name?, Sometimes I don't Know What to Feel, Zen Archer, and I'm so Proud Medley.
|
![]() | The Wall (Deluxe Packaging Digitally Remastered) by Pink Floyd
Buy new: $27.99 / Used from: $13.50 Roger Waters' best rock opera to date. In the Flesh?, Run Like Hell, Young Lust, Another Brick in the Wall all flow into each other. Gilmour is the best guitarist ever.
|
![]() | Eat a Peach by The Allman Brothers Band
Buy new: $25.99 / Used from: $12.99 Mountain Jam is just one magnificent psychedelic rocking performance the Allman Brothers did at the Fillmore East. A true rock classic, even though Dwayne wasn't alive for this one.
|
![]() | Grand Funk by Grand Funk Railroad
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $5.77 Grand Funk was the funk rock of the early 70's. Inside Looking Out rocks any way you put it. The lyrics shouldn't be judged as simple, just listen to the album. Don't miss this one, this is probably the best rock album of the decades.
|
![]() | Steve Miller Band - Greatest Hits 1974-1978 by Steve Miller Band
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $0.70 Steve Miller Band is one of my favorite blues, psychedelic rock bands of all time. Fly Like an Eagle, Take the Money and Run, and Jungle Love are his best.
|
![]() | 1987 by Whitesnake
Buy new: $15.99 / Used from: $3.28 Talk about heavy metal, get into Whitesnake! The opening riff to Still of the Night, the shredding solos, Here I go Again, will just blow your mind.
|
![]() | Toys in the Attic by Aerosmith
Buy new: $6.99 / Used from: $4.20 Aerosmith's best album. And of course the title track blows.
