Tommy and Seargent Peppers in second.

Sgt Pepper is the best from the list.

I don't want to offend anyone, but there are classic stinkers on the list as well.

Since my all-time #1 favorite isn't listed (Abbey Road), I voted for Tommy. Actually, my favorite Who album is Who'd Next.

I voted for Are You Experienced? Though I was kind of pulling towards Zep
IV. My favorite Zep is Physical Graffiti and I definitely would've picked that if
it was up.

Very tough ... but if I could keep only one it would be Sgt. Peppers, with IV second and Machine Head third ...

Difficult choice, although aparently there isn't a clear criterium for the choice of these albums (besides the fact they aren't prog). My fav of this list is Machine Head, but the most importants are Sgt. Pepper's and Are you Experienced?

I got burnt out on Zep, and it holds to this day.  I lived in Jacksonville, FL for 4 years 1980-84 and the local radio stations played Zep one time out of every ten songs played.  I got tired of listening to them and turned the radio off.  They also burnt me out on BS as well.  Black Sabbath, Billy Squire, Bob Seger, Bruce Springsteen.

Sgt Pepper by the Beatles.

I am a huge Zeppelin fan but I have heard IV so much over the years that I can barely stand to listen to it anymore.

I agree with you!! I'm a big Zep fan but if I never get to hear "Stairway to Heaven" again, it won't be too soon.
I also picked the Beatles, but U2's Joshua Tree wasn't far behind, and though I don't expect there'll be (m)any votes, Michael Jackson's Thriller is a really good album

Sargeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.

The list is excellent but I'd add one Byrds' album like Mr. Tambourine Man or Fifith Dimension.

Totally agree PG is the best album ever made in my opinion. So much variety all played to perfection. Rock folk blues funk and even some Prog- Kashmir and In the Light esp.

But you know what? It's one of the best records ever made!

The Number of the Beast, by far. Then Machine Head and Are You Experienced.

Would have been much easier if you included Quadrophenia by The Who, or Their Satanic Majesties Request by Rolling Stones, because I would have voted blindly for any of those, but honestly, none of this albums is so, so strong IMO.

Lets see:

  • Wacko Jacko and the Punks are out of contest IMO
  • Hendrix is not my cup of tea (Even when he was a great guitar player)
  • I believe Sgt Peppers is highly overrated (Abbey Road could get my vote)
  • Don't care for any Stones album except the one menioned previously
  • Dylan  and Beach Boys maybe........
  • Maiden (Give me Seventh Son of a Seventh Son)
  • AC/DC: Better with Bon Scott

So it's Tommy, closely followed by Joshua's Tree, Machine Head and Zep IV.

Led Zeppelin and their 'IV' is a true classic.
Take 'Stairway to Heaven', it's ingenious and unforgettable chord progression with the most famous guitar solo of all time.
'Battle of Evermore' - the mandolin masterpiece

The rest of the stuff on the list is either trash or it just goes by me.
