September 26, 201411 yr Have to have something by the Allman Brothers Band on the list somewhere IMO.
September 26, 201411 yr Have to have something by the Allman Brothers Band on the list somewhere IMO. Just couldn't find an album chock full of hits. Live at Fillmore is the definitive record but a compilation album.
September 26, 201411 yr Black Sabbath - Paranoid ooops sorry....just noticed it's already on your list. Been trying to avoid repeating already mentioned albums.
September 26, 201411 yr I'm guessing Classic Rock, means prior to the 80's. Correct? If so, I'll add Dreams from FMac.
September 26, 201411 yr Ok although you left off the greatest band of all time in The Beatles, your list is pretty good I came back on to add Jackson Browne Running on Empty and CCR Willy and the Poor Boys but you had them listed so nice job I included some more recent albums that technically aren't 'classic' (yet). And I limited myself to one album per artist.
September 26, 201411 yr While not technically rock, I think Carole King's "Tapestry" belongs in any collection.
September 26, 201411 yr While not technically rock, I think Carole King's "Tapestry" belongs in any collection. I'll put it in mine, if you will put 1983's "Out of The Cellar" by Ratt, in yours.:lol2:
