Best 5-10 Rock Recordings?

Who's Next on 200 gram clasic.

Given that opinions are like, well...Here's a few items off the top of my head:

Foreigner - Double Vision
Zappa - Sheik Yerbouti
Lowell George - Thanks, I'll Eat It Here
Linda Ronstadt - Simple Dreams
Richard Thompson - Old Kit Bag
Santana - Moonflower
Little River Band - S/T; Diamantina Cocktail
Toto - IV
Neil Young - Comes A Time
Queen - The Game

Nearly any Little Feat, Supertramp, Steely Dan, Eagles, Talking Heads, to name but a few....

BTW, these are all original issues of these LPs - no remastered, half-speed, reissues. They all get high marks for both sonics and music. There's too much great music out there to buy based solely on sonics - I've heard too many systems where the tired old "audiophile chestnuts" are trotted out. C'mon man, play some music!! Good listening,

-Richard

Many good suggestions. Here's a couple more: Dire Straits: Brothers in Arms & Love Over Gold.

There's no accounting for taste.

I tried but there are just too many. I can't come up with just 5 or 10.

I think Palasr had a good list.
If you go with Supertramp - bolt down your table, play it loud and don't operate any machinery.
I've heard that being interrupted while listeing to "Bloody Well Right" or "School" is a known cause of domestic disturbance.

i'd have to disagree here. "Brothers in arms" is a lousy recording if you ask me.

rock recordings are more about suiting the mood, not pure sonics. also i feel great recording has to have great music in front of it.

a few off the top of my head

randy newman "good old boys"
nirvana "in utereo"
van morrison "moondance"
beatles "rubber soul"
television "marquee moon"
hendrix "axis bold as love " (mono version)
richard thompson "pour down like silver"
