Re: What are the 10 best rock era albums?
I was thinking kind of the same thing, after reading the thread starter. The OP said "there are a number of albums whose release just stopped people in their tracks... like the White Album or Tommy. What does your list look like? Here's a stab at the albums that jarred me." The criteria are a bit vague, which may be good for this kind of thread, keeps things kind of open. I would like to point out that these don't have to be rock albums at all, they just need to have been released in "the rock era" - which I guess began with what a lot of people believe was the first rock 'n' roll song, "Rocket 88" by Ike Turner's band, Jackie Brenston on vocals, in 1951. So Caruso is out, as is Thomas Edison's "Mary Had A Little Lamb," which jarred everybody like nothing before. But Belafonte is in.
But that's just my opinion. I could be wrong. - Dennis Miller
