Fvorite pop/rock albums of all time

Notice I said "favorite" and not "best".

Ok, here's my top five favorite:

1. Abbey Road, Beetles
2. Allman Brothers Live at the Filmore East- The ABB
3. Let it Bleed, Rolling Stones
4. What's Going On- Marvin Gaye
5. Exodus- Bob Marley and The Wailers

I bet you can guess my age by this list.

There are allot of runner ups that don’t make it on my list because of one or two songs that aren’t quite right to me (Nirvana’s Nevermind is one example). The common thread in these albums is that every song seems right and the album has a coherency from beginning to end.

Good choices, Lokie! I agree with all of them.

My all time favorite:
The Velvet Underground & Nico -- IMHO, considering the time it was made, the most audacious & innovative rock album. I still listen often.

I'd also add:

Sgt. Pepper, The Beatles
Get Your Ya-Yas Out, Rolling Stones
Beggar's Banquet, Rolling Stones
Blood on the Tracks, Bob Dylan
Are You Experienced?, Jimi Hendrix
L.A. Woman, The Doors
Harvest, Neil Young
Layla, Derek and the Dominos
Europe '72, Grateful Dead
Led Zeppelin I & II
Blind Faith
Every Picture Tells A Story, Rod Stewart

I could go on . . .
