Pages (3): « 1 [2] 3 »
my mom said she saw jimmy hendrix in concert on acid. and then she came home and was still tripping and she painted this amazing picture of jimmy's face and it was all trippy and cool and then her mom found out she did acid at that concert so she tore up the painting
doesn't that suck?

First of all: never say you don't like The Rolling Stones in public ever again. People are going to think you have absolutely no class or taste. And then they will make fun of you, and no one will stop them because you deserve it.
Second, here are some pretty good albums that any classic rock fan should own:
Let's start with the basics.
The Rolling Stones - Let It Bleed
The Stones quickly became known for the lead-off tracks on their LP's, and no track captures the time period of classic rock any better than "Gimme Shelter". The blues-y guitar riff is pure heaven, and the rest of the album ain't half bad either, ending with another of classic rock's epic anthems: "You Can't Always Get What You Want."
The Rolling Stones - Beggar's Banquet
Beginning with quite possibly the greatest rock track of all-time, "Sympathy for the Devil" (even though Rolling Stone magazine only ranks it at 32), this is a bit more of a blues-oriented album than much of the Stones' guitar-laden hits they became famous for. As Rolling Stone put it, this album has a bit of everything: "country music on 'Dear Doctor,' the blues on 'Prodigal Son' and urban riots on 'Street Fighting Man.' And 'Sympathy for the Devil,' of course, is an anthem for the darkness in every human heart."
Cream - Disraeli Gears
Eric Clapton. Enough said really, but this album is fantastic. Rolling Stone describes it thusly: "Within the grooves of this record are miles of listening pleasure." A band I would have loved to see live.
Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon
Duh. Best album in world history.
The Jimi Hendrix Experience - Axis: Bold As Love
One of my favorite albums of all time. The way Jimi could make the guitar sing is unbelievable - Bold as Love and Little Wing stand out as two of the most evocative tracks ever.
Bob Dylan - Highway 61 Revisited
Just because RJT already posted Blonde on Blonde. Bruce Springsteen described the first note of this album as "the snare shot that sounded like somebody'd kicked open the door to your mind." Brilliant.
Neil Young - After the Gold Rush
Soft and deeply personal - Neil Young at his best.
U2 - The Joshua Tree
You can argue whether or not this album is really classic rock, but I think it's the album that brought classic rock into modernity. Not my favorite U2 album, but easily the most significant.
The Beatles - Abbey Road
Not a lot of stand-alone hits on this album, but when listened to in its entirety, Abbey Road takes you for a ride.
Johnny Cash - At Folsom Prison
I hate country music, but I adore this album.
Sam Cooke - Portrait of a Legend
Never has an album title summed things up so nicely. Not exactly classic rock, but not exactly forgettable either.
Led Zeppelin - Houses of the Holy
Easily their best album. The first three tracks are among the three best tracks of all time. Forget Stairway to Heaven, The Rain Song is where it's at.
There are many more to list, but I'll stop at that. Get hunting.

The Doors - LA Woman, Morrison Hotel
Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here, Dark Side Of The Moon, The Wall, Pulse
Jimi Hendrix - First Rays Of The New Rising Sun
Black Sabbath - Reunion
Deep Purple - Made In Japan
Uriah Heep - Demons and Wizards
David Bowie The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust And The Spiders From Mars
The Velvet Underground, fairly revolutionary band in my opinion which was dwarfed by the popularity of the Doors, after "Loaded" Lou Reed left and not as good for their last album.
Aside from that I hate a lot of 70's rock simply from over-exposure
